I’ve posted before here that I am suspicious of coordination when I see multiple critical things happening at 15 minutes times on the clock (15 minutes after the hour, 30 minutes after, 45 minutes after, and on the hour). if AM was coordinating with others, he may have been running slightly behind planned times. Thus the high speeds to and from the Almeda house. There may have been a coordinated plan for AM to be back and to make the 911 call at 10 pm.
I had earlier suggested that MM’s phone may have been used by conspirators to signal each other. AM texted MM both when he left Moselle as well as when he was returning, and those texts would light up her screen as they came in.
Also, there is the interruption of the 911 call (before emergency responders had even arrived at the property) to “call family” 17 minutes into the call. Was that call to family supposed to happen at 10:15 Rather than at 10:23, and was it to establish alibi for another family member?
It is also notable that the first two attempts to reach RM4 failed and then when AM called RM4’s wife’s cellphone, RM4 had returned and could take the call. RM4 was inconsistently reported in newspapers to have been “out shooting” and to have been “with his dogs” when AM had earlier attempted to reach him by cellphone.
According to this last witness, it also sounds like the calls from AM to RM4 were deleted from both devices.
Also, it was interesting that the SLED agent who conducted the phone interview of AM asked whether RM4 knew about the roadside shooting In advance. They may have since resolved any such suspicions, but it appears that at least in early September, LE was concerned that something was hinky was going on and that it involved more family members than just AM.
Hanging over all of this was the terminal condition of RM3 At the time of the murders.
