So far, I think the death late on the 15th or 16th is accurate. I remain undecided on whether I believe accident or premeditated, but that doesn't matter in this thread. I think the body remained
unbagged in the trunk until the 18th. Also I find the burial attempt and subsequent bagging on the 18th to be reasonable.
I realize that my opinion (and I stress
Opinion) is in the distinct minority here, but I believe the body was placed at the crime scene on June 23.
I really think that it was a poor and risky location, and therefore Casey put the bag there in a panic mode, thinking that she would come back later, retrieve the bag and put it in a more remote area. I don't think that location was planned by Casey. I think the "pings" down by the airport were scouting trips, both before and after the 23rd.
On both the 23rd and 24th, Casey had reason to panic. On the 23rd, she ran out of gas and risked the body being noticed in the trunk, and of course there was the incident with George on the 24th.
I tend to rule out the 24th, despite this being LP's theory. (Also, I think many here might be influenced by his proclamations.) Casey left George quickly, and there was great tension between them. I don't think Casey would have (when she exited) driven up the street, turned right and parked a 100 feet from the intersection, opened the trunk and grabbed the bag to toss out into the thick vegetation. There was far to much risk that George might have chased her (afterall, she couldn't be certain he didn't get a whiff of the smell) or he might have left the house for work or other errand right after her. If that were to happen, there would be no way he'd miss seeing her. Even if it took her only 90 seconds to do the deed, she wouldn't risk it.
There has been some speculation that Casey ran out of gas on the 20th in that area. This might be true, but the only documentation that I have seen is the text to Amy claiming to run out of gas 2 Fridays in succession. We know she claims the 27th at Amscot, and by subtracting 7 days brings us back to the 20th. I think that text may be inaccurate. TL claimed in his statement that it was the 23rd, and goes on to state that this was the day that he used a tire iron to break the lock on George's shed to take the gas cans. In the Greta interview
http://www.foxnews.com/video/index....ralObject=2963763&referralPlaylistId=playlist Greta asks George when was the last time he accessed the shed.
GA: Could have been that Sunday the 22nd
Greta: As best you can tell, it happened between the 22nd and the 24th?
GA: Uh huh.
I think Casey ran out of gas close to the corner after leaving her house on the 23rd. Instead of turning left as she might normally do, she turned right and coasted as far as she could. She had to decide what to do. One choice would be to walk home and try to figure out how to break the lock to get at the gas, and then lug (I use "lug" instead of "carry" to emphasize Casey's laziness) the gas 4 tenths of a mile back to her car. With this choice she only had to worry about her car being unattended while she was gone. Her second choice was to call TL and have him come running to fix her problem. BUT, she did not want TL to see the bag inside the trunk, and actually didn't want him close to the car at all. She decided then to temporarily remove the bag, thinking that she would retrieve it later. But she didn't, and now regrets that.
Anyway, those are my thoughts, and if this case continues to take twists and turns as it has, my thoughts will probably change. (Won't change as much as LP's though
)
