GUILTY TX - Christina Morris, 23, Plano, 30 August 2014 - #19 *Arrest*

[ptown]

My club days are long over also but Plano "clubs" are still always more like restaurant/neighborhood bars that became allowed to be open till 2 not that long ago. I always went to Dallas for a serious club scene. Plano is still just a family town burb along with the rest of Collin County....granted with lots more issues as it has grown & who knows what options are out there nowdays but I would still guess it is super boring compared to Dallas with tons of LE all over to discourage it..But I am sure all kinds of things go on here as with anywhere that stays under the radar.

I realize how serious this site is, and it upsets some if you have a slight chuckle, but I about spewed my water all over my laptop when I read this... LOL thanks!

I have a sarcastic sense of humor and was raised in a family where we use humor as a coping skill in stressful times. I hope no one is offended by it...I don't intend it to be disrespectful. Sometimes it's the only way for me to handle the sheer ridiculousness of certain situations.

How long/far of a drive is it to her parents house using the Exchange exit? Also my take on his Kroger visit, I thought he must have desperately needed gas or he would have waited until after work (maybe he doesn't care that he is already late but I would!). I think he already cleaned his car. While he was waiting for his car to fill with gas, he was double checking his clean up.

I agree, it's sensible to assume that as we know there was damage to the car that it's likely that EA at least had a look at that damage at some time during the night and also did a check of the car to make sure there were no other obvious signs of anything.

I'm guessing he doesn't carry a torch in the car so needed to go somewhere that would have been lit at that time of night but the places I can think of, all night food outlets, gas stations would also have CCTV so he would need somewhere else.

Could he just have stopped by the side of the road somewhere? Apologies for this as I don't want to upset anyone but I always like to think of the practicalities of a situation - would someone who by some means ended up with a body in their car drive around wildly thinking of where to go, would they be more likely to pull up and consider the options or would they just push the body out of the car and get away from the scene as quick as possible.

While I can't see any other suspect than EA I also don't yet see a way for the evening to have played out that makes sense taking into account the timings we have

All makes sense & echoes what I posted awhile back. However, as far CCTV, he didn't seem to concerned about that with his other blunders (parking garage, Kroger).. Also, if he hid CM's body where the crime occurred, that couldn't be that far away. Don't think he would have driven far to make advances or assault. If he did drive far to hide the body, it most certainly would have been in the trunk. I doubt anybody with half a brain would drive around with a body in the front or back seat..(?) Seems like there could be DNA evidence in the trunk...

If he had a body in his car he would be in Jail!

Well, first they need to prove that he had a body in his car & according to Carlton, DNA results take quite a bit of time...

I'm not at all familiar with a camero - how easy would it be to move a body into the trunk and would there be enough space?

If we add that to everything else we're using up more time and so cutting down even more the distance he could have covered. Assuming an accidental incident with no time for any prior planing I wonder how quickly any of us would come up with a place to hide a body and evidence that could remain undiscovered for so long. Surely a far bit of time that night must have been spent thinking about where to go? Is that where maybe others could have become involved I wonder.

If you do a Google search "Camaro Trunk Space" there are plenty of pics. One of them shows a grown man in the trunk & another shows 2 people laying down inside (quite cramped, of course!)... FYI

And lets remember also she is pretty small

 

[GringoGirl]

I've thought of a fast way also. Like under a bridge or in a culvert. Somewhere right in plain sight. Of course my prayer is she is alive and fighting as hard as her family and friends!!

 

[ATasteOfHoney]

Prayers for CM, her family, friends & supporters.
This has to be a particularly difficult day for them.

I think they can tell right away if a body was in the car the dna would tell who it was.

Just a question: when they took his car the first time, is it possible he had cleaned it so good, they couldn't get DNA...so that's why they took it again and decided to take the mats and seat belt for more conclusive DNA? I'm going to be shocked if nothing comes back on those tests.

JMO I think they have the results!

Im not so sure EA is the only one lying!

Someone on here suggested the Forensics Files "Wheel of Misfortune". They found blood, but couldn't get DNA because some fabric protectors will prevent the testing from determining the DNA. Probably why they took the seat belt from EA's care as it wouldn't such coatings on it. I often wondered why LE kept the mats and seat belt but nothing from the trunk. Of course that could mean that they found enough in the trunk without having to remove anything.

One bit of hope I got from "Wheel of Misfortune" is that in spite of a very good detailed cleaning and the fabric protectors lab technicians pulled enough evidence to get a conviction for murder. The murderer had apparently killed or assaulted before and thought out his crime in that case. I don't see EA or whoever else did this as thinking it out, being prepared or doing as thorough a job of cleaning. As I said before, I can imagine whoever did this is getting very little sleep and may not have much of an appetite today. LE knows who or what was in the car and has a good idea of where he went after the Custer Rd cameras.

Thanks JnRyan - that was helpful. Someone said if they had DNA, he would already be arrested. I was trying to remember if they took his car 2 or 3 times. And it seem to me, they didn't get anything (or enough) the first time or two. But to keep it 11 days, they were certainly thorough. I will try to find that Forensic Files (was that about the girl who disappeared from the casino? If so, I did see it). I don't think it was premeditated, either - more a crime of opportunity and/or more likely, rage. EA only admitted to taking one Adderall at 10am, he could have taken more.

If EA admitted to taking one Adderall, it probably isn't true...
