Those four minutes in the car are devastating. I keep speculating about how he could have subdued her to the point of incapacitation that ended with so much blood in the car, in so short a time.
My guess is he didn't sexually assault her in the car right away because I think it would have taken a few minutes to get her under his control, and I don't know if that leaves time for him to remove her clothes and assault her right then and there.
I mean, he could have shot her in the head or chest but then he'd have to be some kind of necrophiliac. I was imagining a stun gun and then maybe handcuffing her, but that wouldn't have left a lot of blood in the car. Maybe he hit her in the head with a rock or something.
Maybe he didn't remove her clothing at that point but just pulled them away and assaulted her. I still can't conceive of getting an athletic young woman incapacitated and assaulted in four minutes.
I don't know why I'm even thinking through this because it's so upsetting and at this point fruitless, but I can't stop wondering how he could've achieved his hideous goals in such a short time.
So I end up where I started, four minutes to incapacitate her in a manner that leaves enough blood for him to wash the car, but during the absent three hours is when he did any sexual assault, if he did, and then the murder, which I assume is the outcome.
Eliza, where are you?????
