Thank you for your kind reply.Perhaps he walked the short distance to his apartment unit in the Mountain Creek Apartments, directly across the street from where the Macan was found...
I speculated the same....Perhaps he walked the short distance to his apartment unit in the Mountain Creek Apartments, directly across the street from where the Macan was found...
If the person was that careless to leave it that close to home, you would think the carelessness carried over to the inside of the car and some evidence was left. I know nothing has been released yet by LE. JMO.I speculated the same....
amateur opinion and speculation
I agree. What do we know for sure about Church’s, other than he wasn’t there to buy chicken? I assume there is video of the car pulling in? Does it just sit there parked? For how long? Is there video of it leaving and in what direction?Makes sense, @Gumshoe Stories
After "walking" in Google Street View from the lot at Kitty Street to block 5500 on Bishop College Drive, I abandon the notion of Alan voluntarily parking his car and walking a good 15-20 minutes through a shabby part of town with no sidewalks.
- With that, I also withdraw my theory that he went there to take his own life. It just doesn't make any sense, especially after I virtually walked that route.
With those options out of the way, I can only speculate that he met someone in the near vicinity. The nature of that meetup could be transactional, amorous or sexual, or even to check up on a quick renovation project.
- Carjacking: Out of the question, imho — Time of day and the narrow window of opportunity make that very unlikely.
I doubt it's the latter, that would be just a tad too early. 7:30, sure. Early risers, especially in the construction business. But meeting for a quick talk or inspection at, say, 6:15? Less likely.
The stalling at RT and Churchs is something I would do if I was arranging a meetup. You exchange some details/expectations, swap pics if need be, an address to drive to, and off you go. It is there were Alan met his end. Later that day, or maybe at night, his remains were dumped at the wooded area, his car left somewhere else, with the keys inside, hoping someone would take it off their hands.
All speculation and MOO.
Only if I was a bad guy and a) didn't want to be seen or captured on vid parking/exiting/walking away from the vehicle and b) wouldn't have minded it if the car disappeared, making someone else look like a bad guy...Just thinking out loud: Would you drive your car uphill, park it between the bushes, and leave it with the keys inside?

You’re asking the same thing I’m asking. I keep seeing references to Church’s being a destination after he left RaceTrac. But I haven’t been able to find a direct reference to where that info came from.Can you or another poster assist with where the info can be found on the Church's parking lot? Thanks
I haven’t followed from the beginning so could have missed it in an article.
The two businesses are side by side. Here's a link to a reporter referencing it earlier in the discussion:You’re asking the same thing I’m asking.

I thought of that but we are assuming he anything to do on that call except listen and occasionally comment. I take calls in my car and then walk in and transfer them to my home (so long as I am not the meeting organizer and have slides to present). The pandemic has made everyone very clever with Webex and Teams meetings.Hmm but he wouldn't have had time for this trip, with his call at 7:00.
But that doesn’t say that he paused at Church’s. It says he drove “through” Church’s and Auto Zone and onto the road toward his home. I assume the businesses from RaceTrac to Church’s to AutoZone have a shared parking lot? Maybe there’s just a certain exit onto the road that he preferred to take and he had to traverse the parking lot to do so. I thought there was a report somewhere of him actually pulling into a Church’s but this seems innocuous.The two businesses are side by side.

The only references I've seen to the pause go back to "rumors' from unapproved sources.But that doesn’t say that he paused at Church’s.

To me, it doesn't make sense either way. But yet it happened for some reason.
If it was suicide, why pick that location and that walk to the final location?
If it was a car jacking, a hit, any kind of meeting gone bad - why leave the car and body in such close proximity?
I initially thought that route through the park was probable, in a rendezvous scenario, but the more I think about it, the more I'm inclined to believe killer (if there is one) knew the 'hood, knew of the convenient secluded, wooded dump site at terminus of Bishop College Drive and knew of the nearby vacant lot off Kitty Lane known as an illegal dumping site. After all, in rendezvous scenario, not at all necessary to hike to the far corner of the park, at around say 6:30am (paid for gas 15 miles away at 6:01am), especially when pressed for time due to fast approaching 7am scheduled meeting. That woods looks gnarly, but not impenetrable. The surveyors got into it, so a killer could too...
He was literally 5-7 minutes from home. No need to linger 2-3 minutes at RT and Church's to check on business emails when he could have done so 5 minutes later in front of his laptop, which is faster and has a bigger screen.
This leads me to believe he was doing something that he wasn't comfortable doing at home.
