Re: the incident where 911 call was made when MP refused to get in car stemming from an argument due to his refusal tonride to the lake house with wife and kids because he decided he wanted to take the boat which meant him making tge trip solo with him having to drive the jeep in order to pull the boat..
I have a couple of thoughts on this.. If I am reading and understanding this correctly Gail and the kids were in a different vehicle than the red jeep rubicon that is currently missing.. And with Matt insisting on taking the boat it mean having to take the jeep rubicon that was equipped to pull the boat..
So if that's correct them I'll go even a step further to say that most likely this insistence on taking the boat most likely occurred at the very last minute.. Again IMO most likely so very much at the last minute that Gail and the children Along with all bags
And luggage were already packed into the other family vehicle ready to leave for the trip.. I take this leap because if this were not at the very last minute and the children and luggage were not already packed and ready to go then logically if Matt had decided before this late time to want to take the boat that they very easily amd comfortably could have taken the jeep rubicon comfortably accommodating luggage as well as all four of them along with the boat hitched on the back.. Doesn't that make the most sense??..IMO it does and that's what leads me to believe that the boat idea occurred very last minute as they were leaving for the trip to the lake house..
Leading me to what is my next thought.. That IMO a very likely reason for Matts insistence on the need to drive separately from the family while pulling the boat was one for selfish gain quite possibly involving a girlfriend.. From what has been said throughout Gail's threads I have learned that Matt and girlfriend had a good bit of
Phone communications with him even known to be right outside the house on the cell phone talking to girlfriend.. It being around a 4 hour one way trip to the lakehouse I can definitely see this "boat idea" of Matts being a perfect ruse allowing him the freedom of talking freely for however long of that road trip to whomever that his little heart desired..
As I have posted previously about my having a close family friend with almost eerily similar situation as Gail's .. Affair amd all.. And this in friends case ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS ENDED UP BEING EXACTLY WHAT HER HUSBAND HAS DONE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.. and afterward having cell phone detailed reports proving her suspicions to be dead on correct in thinking he was having constant communications with the girlfriend during these times..
Again much the same I believe that Matt too was using this exact tactic in allowing him this freedom to communicate with his girlfriend during the 8 hrs total of which would make up the entire road trip to amd from their lakehouse..
And I want to reiterate just so there be zero mistaking..
I wm in no way stating fact but rather my opinions of what I believe most likeliest to have happened and/or occurred given what little we have to work with.. All just my opinion!! Again... JMO, tho!!
Also Jbean I am very interested to hear more about what your thoughts are on possibilities that occurred in and around April 30th with Gail last seen at 12:15 leaving their home on Signal Mtn.. And if by chance I missed a post where you have already detailed your thoughts on this just point me that way.. I am anxious to hear more of your thoughts as from the little I read upthread about your thoughts on her leaving DL, ccards, etc and that you feel that she wasn't planning to return immediately(sometime that same day) back home where her 2 children were..
..thanks in advance..
