Salem, they didn't drive around for ten minutes. The crime scene is an area off of a very busy interstate (I-85) in Greenville, SC. There is a frontage road that is intersected by a rural road (Jacob's Road) with a Waffle House within shouting distance. She was on Jacob's Road and stopped at the stop sign. While stopped, the carjacker supposedly came up to the passenger side of the car, and somehow "forced" himself into the two-door vehicle. Devon was forced into the backseat. Rather than scream and drive away like any sane person would have done, Amanda drove basically ACROSS THE FRONTAGE ROAD to a grassy area. She drove across the road....that was it. She stopped, and the knife-wielding bushy headed stranger (BHS), forced her out of the car. He then proceeded to lock both doors and somehow wedge himself into the back seat where Devon was. Even though he had a knife, he used a pillow to "smother Devon"......which interestingly enough, resulted in "compression to the neck" rather than "smothering" according to the autopsy report. Amanda, who was now forced out of the car.....with only a small scratch to her right arm.....was forced to watch from outside the vehicle, with all four doors locked, and the sunroof was open. This BHS strangled her child to death. The BHS then jumped out of the car (lousy carjacker), and ran off into the woods. She then pulled Devon's body from the car and laid it on the ground at the back of the vehicle. She then went to the FRONT of the vehicle and called 911.....where they were in the process of trying to tell her how to do CPR when LE arrived on the scene. Being a nursing student, I would have thought she would have already known how to do CPR. :bang: Maybe she isn't the brightest bulb in the chandalier???
