Good find!!
'I've never beaten up anybody over it, but I've kicked holes in walls, kicked down doors, smashed windows, broken things. It hurts people______________________and it hurts me.'
Wow, what else does it hurt?
February 14, 2007. What does Travis have to be angry about, what terrible thing has happened that he would also have had to tell her about-she's in Palm Desert, that would warrant that email? Nothing. He's successful and happy and not yet in her clutches.
February 14, 2008. What does Travis have to be angry about? Lisa's tires just got slashed on the 10th. Third tire slashing. Beyond everything else, he can't afford this destruction. He's broke. And he knows this is probably it for his relationship with Lisa.
Am I certain she wrote it in 2008 rather than 2007? Pretty much, though it can't be proven, or JM would have done so. Her writing such a thing after she's caused him the damage, though, is exactly her MO.
Travis- have you seen my diamond ring? Killer- what diamond ring? Oh. Why yes. Sorry about that. It must have caused you so much stress when you realized it was missing.
Travis- I just noticed that another journal of mine is missing. My journals are irreplaceable to me. If you took them I am begging you to give them back. I'll do just about anything. Killer- Oh my. That is the most heart felt plea I've ever heard anyone make. I so wish it was in my power to help you and ease your pain. But no, I don't have them of course. Maybe they will turn up someday. I doubt it, but stranger things have happened.
And those are the very closely paraphrased words she actually used to toy with him and enjoy his pain.
ETA- a paragraph out of the February timeline I've almost completed rewriting- relating to the texts she sent him late Feb 13th through the 14, 2008.
February 13 late night, February 14.
The killer is texting Travis about how much she appreciates him, how wonderful he is, that he is such a blessing in her life. Later, she sends a (not) jokey complaint that Travis isn’t horny, frownie face frownie face. Late afternoon, he still hasn’t texted her once, she sends a "reminder" for him to call her.
Later,
she texts that he is in her prayers, to let her know if there is anything she can do. Later still, a call me!! Travis texts her for the first time that day—I’m busy!! What’s up???? She tells him- go look at that sunset!
What day is it? Valentine’s Day. He has a date with Lisa that night....
