Although it's been reported JG sent texts/emails to MG divulging her plan to kill MC, it hasn't been confirmed exactly when MG received those texts. It's possible he noticed incoming messages and chose to ignore them, never observing their content, while he was waiting for MC to arrive for their rendezvous, and only reviewed them at some point later when MC didn't show.
According to the Daily Mail link upthread, MG received at least some of the texts while awaiting his dinner date with MC. Though given the timeframe, he couldn't have waited too long, so how many he received at that time is unknown as is the timeframe in which they were sent.
This case is truly a puzzle...many things (to me) are unusual--beyond the statistical rarity mentioned upthread of a murder-suicide involving 2 well-educated, successful females. There is a lack of facts forthcoming in the news, other than the same narrative reprinted again and again. There are many unanswered questions, and not many journalists doing much digging (at least not currently).
Questions I'd love to see explored (JMO)--these are not brought up to point a finger at anyone, but simply are my own questions unanswered as of yet from the sketchy reading thus far:
Is there any first-hand incriminating evidence (NOT techy--not Internet or texted on a cellphone) that JG was planning to murder MC? Any private conversation with her family, friend, clergyman or therapist?
The first message said to have been left by JG in that neighborhood app forum in Feb 2018 was to ask for a reputable, successful divorce attorney. The 2nd one--in March-- is a desperate one asking for a good therapist, one equipped to handle a detailed list of issues including psychological ones (depression, trauma, etc.) Does anyone else wonder about the sequence of these forum posts? Assuming the subject of divorce was brought up in Feb, why not ask for the counselor first, then the "successful" divorce atty the month later? Do we know with certainty that both (or either) of those messages were actually made by JG?
How often does someone planning a murder share their detailed, written plans ahead of time with a loved one who might have the greatest cause to alert authorities and prevent it? Why would they share those plans with *anyone* ahead of time, let alone someone who'd have the power and extreme motivation to stop them by reporting their threats to LE? If emails as well as texts were sent, when did these start? Was this an escalating thing, or did all the emails/texts happen at the restaurant Monday night while MG was waiting for MC?
If a suicide gunshot is heard immediately following the murder gunshot as reports have suggested, then why was the bag with wig and clothes not belonging to MC also found at the house? Was suicide a split-second departure from a leave-in-disguise plan, and if so, why? Did those bagged clothes match or not match those worn by the person the neighbor noticed casing MC's house with binoculars on 4/21 Saturday afternoon around 3:00pm? Was the wig blonde or a different color?
Timeline questions concerning Monday 4/23 (using mostly Daily Mail for times, with details corroborated by a few other articles upthread):
2:40pm Stamped receipt from a gas station in town near MC's house--was JG also seen on surveillance camera? What was bought? If just gas and self-pumped, is there surveillance camera to show it was JG using the card at the pump?
5:00 to 6:00pm - According to MC's neighbor, she sees MC arrive home between 5:00 and 6:00, driving to the back and getting out of the car with a bag. She does not see MC enter the back door due to bushes blocking her sight, but shortly after that gunshots are heard by her and at least one other neighbor. We are told by LE that MC walked into her home 'directly into an ambush,' and also that the suicide shot happened right after the murder shot. The neighbor who saw her doesn't call 911, questioning what she heard, but someone else (another neighbor, I believe I read?) does.
If MC arrives home with a bag and enters her house between 5 and 6pm, it'd be safe to assume she meant to freshen up before driving to her dinner date--so assuming the date is set at the earliest for 6:00, MG is sitting at some restaurant awaiting her between 6:00 and 7:00 (at which latter time he is found in MC's driveway by LE arriving on the scene).
So, questions:
1. How is JG sending MG threatening texts between 6pm and 7pm if MC was shot immediately upon entering her home at 5:00 to 6pm at the latest, and JG killed herself immediately after shooting MC?
2. If shots were heard fired right after MC entered her home, and the neighbor said she arrived at 6pm at the latest, why did LE pull up and discover MG in the driveway at 7:00pm? The timeline seems off, here. That town is small, and nowhere does it take LE an hour to respond to reports of gunshots.
3. How close is the restaurant to MC's home on Lowry Lane?
Again, just questions, due to the sparse reporting on this story. There may be perfectly reasonable answers or corrections to all of this--just saying that as read, or perhaps as reported, it's not making complete sense, yet. And there are some noticeable gaps in the story. IMO, JMO...
