Hopefully I managed to multiquote?
Travis did tell Samantha about the tire-slashing, and Samantha was convinced the was responsible.
That might have been one of the occasions Travis later referred to on May 26 when he said he had covered up for the , and/or had told others the lies she had told him.
BTW, when Samantha kept pressing Travis to accept that the was the slasher, Travis told her the had promised to take a lie detector test to prove she didn't slash his tires (she may have even claimed she had scheduled one).
Sam scoffed- do you really think she would follow through?
(Kinda like her "offer" to Flores to take a lie detector test, eh?)
On one of the 3 occasions his /Lisa's tires were slashed, Travis DID call the police, but gave up after waiting 4 hours or so for them to show up.
I agree with you, Rickshaw, that nothing would have been different even if Travis had called the police on each instance. LE would have had to catch the in the act and arrest her for anything to have changed.
