Yes, but we didn't really sleep until we got home the next afternoon!
Same here. We stayed up all night laughing, talking about boys and playing games. Sleep was the furthest thing from our minds.

Good job! It is troubling there are no posters up for him there!! (Maybe you should take some along and pop them up!!)WOW, you guys have been busy in here. I got busy and did not have a chance to catch up until now. We slept at the same truckstop again on Friday night so that Saturday morning I could go in and see if I could hear any gossip or anything. Nope, notta, nothing was said in the place nor did I see a poster showing the POI hung anywhere.
I have read a few messages here though and I am very confused about the tatoo found on Taylor. Are there any pictures of it in the report so we could see if perhaps it has the look of something professionally done or something that would be home made? The reason I ask is this, I have a son who is young and he has tried to give himself a tatoo. So if she did have a perm tat, is it possible it is something she did to her self or had a friend help her with?
At first I thought the hand wound on Taylor was a defensive wound but I don't think so. It appears her hand was cupped and the palm was facing her, which wouldn't be a defensive wound. I wonder if she was bringing her hand to her face after the first shot.
It's because it hurt so badly! She was reacting to the pain.
I think the the shooter was initially closer to Taylor, so she would logically have taken the 1st shot (or two). The face shots were almost point blank. And Taylor never even dropped her purse it happened so fast for her. Skyla was turning away and was (at least initially) based on her injuries, further away from the shooter - and all of her initial shots were to the body - the larger target. Only ONE of the shots to Taylor was a body shot - only ONE of the shots to Skyla to the head area.I don't know how anyone can be so sure of which victim was shot first. Skyla could easily have been the first one shot because she was furthest away from the road and probably trying to escape. As close as the volley of shots were heard, I think the shooter/shooters were just letting the bullets fly and hit wherever they may. I don't think they carefully calculated and planned each shot.
People have been doing homemade 'tats' for decades.Don't a lot of people in prison learn how to do tattoos on each other? Maybe one of Taylor's relatives did it for her.

Only if the shooter was in the road which we don't know for sure.

Has it been verified that her purse was still on her shoulder?

Again, only if the shooter was in the road. He could have been in the brush hiding until they came up.
Only ONE of the shots to Taylor was a body shot - only ONE of the shots to Skyla to the head area.
And yeah, I think the shooter COULD have shot Skyla in the face, just like Taylor - she was already down when she was shot in the neck, might as well shoot her in the face - if the shooter had wanted to. He'd already shot Taylor 3 times at close range in the face and then knelt down to shoot her in the groin (the shot went upward). In fact it seems he took time to place Taylor's groin shot and took time to shoot Skyla in the neck and NOT in the face. He was standing right on top of Skyla for the neck shot - there were powder burns from that shot.
There were 12 total shots (if the hand shot to Taylor was a through and through to her right cheek) and that would be the total capacity of two "standard" handguns without reloading. Looks as if it might be every shot hit one of the girls. It also appears as if the smaller weapon was the last used (at least on Skyla), based on the bullet recovered from Skyla's neck shot.
Ugh, gotta take a break, this gets to me after a while. What kind of monster could stand and look into Taylor and Skyal's eyes and do this, makes me sick just analyzing it and re-reading it over and over.
I think it is getting to all of us.
My Opinion
It does bring it home, doesn't it?God, those poor angels. What they endured. I know it was probably over fast for them, but the autopsy reports have just made it so much clear. I don't think I'll rest until this SOB(S) is/are caught.
It does bring it home, doesn't it?The pain, the fear, and the coldblooded viciousness of the act. The shooters were pure evil and never considered the lives of the girls. Total detachment.
If you look at the shots with powder burns they were both in roughly the same area except Taylor's was higher on her face. In fact Taylor's would be considered a face shot while Skyla's was on the neck below the right jaw. But they were very similiar shots.

Taylor was basically shot in the mouth and the groin. The mouth and the groin.
ETA: Taylor almost had to be shot first. Nobody waits around to be shot in the mouth.....
Go to the many, many websites dedicated to High School Musical. Z stands for Zac or Zanessa (Zac and Vanessa).
Albert,
I always try to think 'outside the box' in cases to give others something different to consider.
What IF Taylor was holding something in that hand when she was shot?
