Why is the boyfriend speaking as if he had been dating crystal for years?
 
Dreading tomorrow's search...

Is it a normal timeline to only have discovered the phone ping today?
 
So it looks looks like she never made it to Crosby. Based of her Facebook post BHISD she lives in Barbers Hill Independent School District. Mount Belvieu isn't too far away, both are weathly neighborhoods for the lack of a better terms. Still no new news over here that I have found.

One thing that stood out for me is that he said "you know" about 100 times. He's a adult, not a teen. Now this may be totally inconsequential and may be his habit, but the "you know" could also be like a subconscious emphasis on the point. ''make sure you hear me". Or he's just scared and confused
Just something I noticed.

She actually lives in Baytown.
But I agree, It seems she never made back home.
 
I just thought of something. The BF said in interview that he and CM went to the Apple Store Thursday night (at 9pm) to get her phone switched over to one of his old iPhones, but they were closed. But the next day, in texts to her...he said he was worried about her and that he had tried calling but it went to VM. Then he said, "I have an iPhone for you. It works!" Why would he say that?? If they had already been to the Apple Store to switch over the phones, she obviously ALREADY knew he had a phone for her?? That little detail is gonna keep me up all night! 😩

Call me crazy, but I wondered if perhaps the BF had already traded phones with her or something and was in possession of her phone in which she sent some messages that some say do not sound like her.

Well we would both be crazy because I've pondered the same scenario.

Doesn't sound crazy to me at all. A coworker of mine switched phones with his wife a couple weeks ago as they were swapping phones and one was upgrading. It's entire possible for significant others to have done so.

It seems so heinous to do this in the wake of a natural disaster, but it also seems incredibly premeditated to me. As if they foresaw her case being put on the back burner as law enforcement focused on search and rescue missions.
 
I just don't see a reason for BF to want her dead....I'm not naive and am open to conjecture...just don't see the motive. Seems things were going his way..
 
No, It's not crazy that they would swap phones. People do that all the time. What I was talking about and thought was strange was the fact that he was telling her through texts on Friday that he had a phone for her when just Thursday night they had been to the Apple Store together to get the phones swapped. My point being that she already knew that. Why did he have to tell her that? BUT I just reviewed the transcript again and I may have jumped the gun. Turns out his old iPhone was also not working properly, so he had to get it fixed before he gave it to her. Apple was closed. Didn't happen. So he must have gotten it fixed Friday before he sent that text that said "I have an IPhone for you. It works!" That would make sense when before it had me confused. But still, why not say... I got my phone fixed for you today??? Because she already knew he had it and was planning on giving it to her. It may be nothing but it has me rethinking some things.
 
I'm really wondering whether this might have been a random crime. Maybe checking on a vacant house on the way back, stopping somewhere and was accosted, maybe a last minute call for a house showing that could only be visited by a potential client that morning....a freak happening that turned bad.

Sometimes there is no motive. Sometimes people just do bad things to do bad things. But I agree, it seems if there was motive involved at all, he would seem to have the least motive. But.. things aren't always as they appear. She may have felt things were moving too fast and told him so and things went south from there. Who knows? What I do know is that he seems to paint a wonderful picture of the two of them, but the ex husbands fb page does the same thing. As I said, things aren't always as they appear. Having said that, I'm not leaning one way or another in my thoughts. My hope is that she is found safe and no one is guilty.

She was driving. She snapped that pic of the billboard as she was driving.

The bf said on Thursday night they rode to the mall together and had to go back to his store to pick his car up. Seems she would've seen the billboard Thursday night.

I think immediately before a hurricane would be a good time for someone to murder and get rid of any evidence too so it could be washed away. I hope this isn't what has happened to Crystal. It is reminding me a lot of the Beverly Carter case she was a realtor too and was murdered. Crystal even looks like Beverly. Law Enforcement need to look close to home and at the people Crystal has shown homes too recently.
 
That crossed my mind as well. With law enforcement busy with hurricane matters not much focus on missing people. Not to mention the evidence factors.

If she has an iPhone she could have read it from her home screen without opening the message which would not be indicated with a read receipt.

So true. She could have then actually called. We can see the texts, but I don't think anything has been released about any calls.
