All very important points.
While not high on my list, I am trying to game out how a targeted attack could have gone down.
I personally subscribe to the theory that he went to the RaceTrac due to brand loyalty (likely as a loyalty program, an employer program or gas card, or perhaps even gas card from the dealership). And he skipped the closer RaceTrac due to the robbery per his family’s theory.
if my theory on that is right and if
@EmOinDallas is correct that a carjacking on his route home from RT would have been witnessed, where did a targeted crime occur?
If he had to have stopped at a more secluded location or been lured to a more private location to be attacked, there must be phone gps and/or car gps data showing where he went (and messaging records if he was lured), right?
what do those show???
