I have always thought that Cancun did play a role in Travis's murder. Only because of all of the excuses/reasons JA gave Flores to take Cancun totally off the table. But just part of a role. JA was already back in Ca. when TA found out on April 15th that he even was qualified to go to Cancun. TA didn't ask Mimi to go until the 29th of April. I have read that it was May 1st or 2nd when Mimi accepted his invitation to go as friends only.
After hacking into TA's FB probably everyday, she finds out Mimi is going to Cancun. She then traps him into phone sex and records it.
May 5 - JA is UPSET because she was not mentioned or thanked for helping with the grammar or editing in his book, but Katie was.
May 18 -Travis' last journal entry shows he was clearly ready to get married, and was looking for the right girl.
Travis was going to expose her for what she was, and things she had done. that's clear in the texts he sent her in late May. JA HAD NO FRIENDS of her own. Everybody she was close to were TA's friends. PPL was Travis' world not hers. She would not let him RUIN her precious reputation.

I found this on youtube, it's much better than I could even explain it :smile: However, I don't think JA was ever on the ticket to go with TA to Cancun.
A Theory on What Could Have Happened During the Last Argument: The Perfect Storm
1) Jodi hacks into Travis' Facebook account, even while Travis is still logged into the account (this according to Travis' close friend Taylor Searle who Travis confided in).
2) While hacked into his Facebook account, Jodi is shocked to see Travis' messages, probably flirtatious messages with other women but more importantly, she perhaps saw messages between Travis & Mimi Hall, & only then found out he was taking Mimi to Cancun -- not some "babysitter" which he had previously been telling her he was taking. The gist of all the messages probably confirmed to Jodi that Travis was never serious about her. Feeling lied to about it probably added to the shock & rage that she must have been feeling.
3) Travis becomes equally shocked & enraged at the fact that Jodi hacked into his Facebook account. It's something that he's been very upset at her about before & this time he had apparently caught her redhanded. He confronts her about it.
4) Not only is Travis very angry, but Jodi is also very angry. She was probably expecting more of an apology from Travis but got the exact opposite. She was probably thinking that she was the one who had the right to be more angry because of the messages she saw, the fact that he's planning to take another woman to Cancun, the fact that he never intended to get back together with her or take her seriously, & feelings of being used, degraded, and played for a fool. Jodi retaliates by playing him the phone sex conversation she recorded weeks earlier. She then threatens to let people listen to it -- his future gf's, his bishop at church, his colleagues at PPL, his circle of friends, etc.
5) Travis, already fuming from the fact that Jodi hacked into his account & violated his privacy, becomes even more infuriated at the blackmail & calls Jodi sick, evil, a sociopath, the worst thing that ever happened to him. He tells her that he wants her out of his life for good.
6) Jodi, still buzzing from the shock & rage of seeing Travis' messages, continues to have it from him as he continues to berate her, calling her a "3 hole wonder", "*advertiser censored*", "*advertiser censored*", etc.
Travis is so upset that he threatens to sue Jodi & that could be a reason why she mentions she'd be calling her attorney.
7) The argument leaves Jodi with a mixture of intense emotions including shock, hurt, devastation, and rage - the intensity of which she probably never experienced before in her lifetime. 2 days later, the feelings of rage do not dissipate but only get worse. Jodi makes the decision of her lifetime -- to kill Travis Alexander. She steals her grandfather's gun & reports it as a burglary. A week after that, Travis is dead.
