(I worked on this awhile ago but forgot to post it).
THE TRIP TO VISIT THE KILLER THAT TRAVIS NEVER INTENDED TO GO ON
(symbolic for her, I think, of trips untaken owed to her by Travis, as served as well to disguise the fact he’d moved on & later, demanded she get out of his life completely. Her utter inability to keep her story straight with LE is amazing, even comical).
May 10 call (earliest recorded)
K: So you’re coming here before Cancun. T: That’s the plan. K: The itinerary—Are you going to San Francisco too or is that another trip. T: Yes, going to San Fran. K: Then to see me, the coast, crater lake, Shakespeare, then to friends in Washington?
T: I’m not going to do all that. You’re at the top of my list. Then I’ll fly to Seattle, see friends, go to British Columbia. All part of the same trip. K: OK.
May 10 call. (IMO, next in chronologic order of spliced recordings)
K: So June you’re going to Cancun and coming here. (No response). K: What else are you doing (mumbled) (splice) T: Washington DC.
K: Oh, yah, that’s what I’m doing. I’m going to travel around with you, DC if I can afford it, well, probably that’s out, I’m going to Team Freedom in June. I have a place to stay in Palm Desert, so no money there. (No mention of Utah. Utah comes up with Ryan for the 1st time around May 3. First mention of possibility in her journal is May 18.)
May 10 call (last spliced/recorded, IMO).
T: I’m super busy from the beginning of June thru the beginning of July, then end of July too.
K: Yah, me too. I may go to Utah at the end of the month.

May 18, journal. Singing at the races this Saturday. Very nervous. Travis was tentatively planning to come and see me, but now it’s been pushed back to the beginning of June.
June 2 2008. On her way to kill him, sends Travis a text that she’d looked at the wrong calendar.
June 4. VM left for just-murdered Travis:
I was looking at wrong calendar when I talked to you, looked at May, duh. Anyway, Heather and I for Shakespeare on July 1, hope you too. I don’t know when Team Freedom event is, but it’s on the list, so we could do Shakespeare, Crater Lake and the coast, if you can make it, that would be great. If not, we’ll just do Crater lake and the Coast.
June 7. Email to murdered Travis. “You’ll be here in less than 2 weeks. I’m thinking of going there next week, while you’re in Cancun, if budget allows. “
June 10. Flores phone interview.
He…he was supposed to make a trip up here…um…at the end of the month because he…We…um…we got this thing that we’re doing. It’s called uh…There’s a book called 1,000 Places to See Before You Die….
So, we each kind of have that goal and…and one of the places is the Oregon Coast, um…and the Shakespearean Festival, and so he was going to come up here for that um…and then we were going to go see that and Crater Lake and just different landmarks then…
DF: Was…that trip already scheduled
JA: Um…it was… It was…It wasn’t officially like dated and stuff. I had been trying to reach him so I could solidify my own schedule because I was planning on making a trip down there.
Um…you know, but…uh…It was supposed to happen in May and then things just…It was supposed to happen um…last week, and that didn’t work out.
So he was going to leave for Cancun today and um…and then he said as soon as he gets back from Cancun he was going to continue the trip because he was going to drive up the coast and when he reaches me we’ll go do some things and then he’ll continue on to Washington and see some friends up there.
Um…and then I guess that was supposed to happen before the beginning of July because July he was supposed to go to Washington D.C.
…….
DF: …you guys had scheduled that you were going to come down and stay at his house when (he’s in Cancun)?
JA: Yeah…um…no, actually. That’s what I e-mailed him about last week because it was kind of last minute because I was going to go…I’m looking at a calendar here. I was gonna’ go not this week but the next, and then he was gonna’ come up here that following week which was the 4th of July, and um…it all sounds kind of weird. We’re all travelers.
DF: remember him telling you when he was leaving for his trip?
JA: Yeah. Yeah. ‘Cause we had discussed dates of travel up here so…Um… I asked…He had said that he was leaving the 10th, and I didn’t know how long it would be or if he would come up here for 4 or 5 or 6 days but um I did know that the last we had discussed it his trip up here was going to be after Cancun, sometime towards the end of June, and it would probably be a four day thing for me or a three day thing, but longer for him because he was traveling along the California coast and on up to Washington.
July: After arrest interrogation.
JA: Well, when his umm….trip the 2nd time got postponed, umm… it was probably the last week of May that I…that you know… it was kind of obvious that he wasn’t going to come then, but he said, “Listen, after Cancun, umm I have like two weeks that I’ll have nothing going on before I go to D.C.
He’s like, “I think that’s the best time. He’s like, “I’m going to see if it works out for my friends up north, Chad Perkins his friend and Norma, (?) his wife, and we can do it all then.
I said, “All right,” but at that time I was like, “Whatever!” “We’ll see. I might just not see you until I go back to Utah.”
What scared me most about the situation is when he called me from the scene. He was on his way home from work after dark, driving through a very very bad part of town, when the other car ran full speed into the driver's side of DH's car.
