(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 hed 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 youre coming here before Cancun. T: Thats the plan. K: The itineraryAre 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: Im not going to do all that. Youre at the top of my list. Then Ill 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 youre going to Cancun and coming here. (No response). K: What else are you doing (mumbled) (splice) T: Washington DC.
K: Oh, yah, thats what Im doing. Im going to travel around with you, DC if I can afford it, well, probably thats out, Im 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: Im 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 its been pushed back to the beginning of June.
June 2 2008. On her way to kill him, sends Travis a text that shed 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 dont know when Team Freedom event is, but its on the list, so we could do Shakespeare, Crater Lake and the coast, if you can make it, that would be great. If not, well just do Crater lake and the Coast.
June 7. Email to murdered Travis. Youll be here in less than 2 weeks. Im thinking of going there next week, while youre 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 were doing. Its called uh
Theres 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 wasnt 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 didnt 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 well go do some things and then hell 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 (hes in Cancun)?
JA: Yeah
um
no, actually. Thats what I e-mailed him about last week because it was kind of last minute because I was going to go
Im 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. Were 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 didnt 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 wasnt going to come then, but he said, Listen, after Cancun, umm I have like two weeks that Ill have nothing going on before I go to D.C.
Hes like, I think thats the best time. Hes like, Im 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! Well see. I might just not see you until I go back to Utah.
