I feel like the murderer is ultimately someone who has a very loose, tenuous connection with Liz--making it very hard to zero in on them as suspect through standard investigating. Liz worked at a pipeline inspection company--her workplace being one of the few places that were aware of the garage sale. I feel like the girlfriend/wife/SO of a co-worker would be a possibility. Maybe the SO of one of the field inspectors? Someone calls Liz their "work girlfriend" or constantly compares their SO to Liz.
Think about it...truck that is noted for being used "off road" and a revolver--a simple gun to operate and possibly kept for animal protection/self-defense on-site. The SO asks to borrow/use this co-worker's car and has had pent-up anger about Liz that in reality Liz knows nothing about--and that is ultimately the drive/motive to kill her.
I think it's an angle worth looking into. Who at her job had owned or previously driven the 4x (and subsequently got rid of it shortly after). Also see if any coworkers have registered revolvers or have typically used/carried revolvers often.
I believe that a lot of women choose revolvers, because they are simply easier to use, are excellent in close proximity situations and will not jam. That being said, I also alluded in an earlier post to the fact that a lot of women borrow their boyfriends or husbands trucks-depending on circumstances. While I cannot say for sure if the perpetrator was male or female, I have heard videos that have done voice analysis of the perp and that the decibel range was that of a male voice.
And what if the same woman used her boyfriend or husband’s truck with the intent of having it identified and thereby framing him for the murder? I know this sounds more made-for-TV, but all scenarios must be reflected on. If the perp was related to her work place (extramarital affairs emanate from the workplace), it could explain how the killer knew about the garage sale and Liz’ affinity for Star Wars. It would be easy for them to find Liz’ home address from the workplace, I would imagine. It could also explain why the car was not detected fleeing the area as it may have been a local resident capable of secreting the vehicle quickly.
The killer’s mindset was basically that I want to kill Liz. She’s having a garage sale on this particular day. I’m going to do it early so that nobody is on scene. I’m going to drive by her house at 2 AM to make sure that the yard sale is on and that I can plan my approach to her driveway. Sergio’s being there or not being there may or may not have been a part of the equation.
My final thought relates to Sergio. I can only place myself in his shoes and ask myself what I would do if my wife had been brutally murdered in my driveway. While he has stated that he was concerned for himself, and the possibility of the killer targeting him in the future, I cannot fathom how someone can sleep at night knowing that someone savagely murdered his wife and he could be next-similar to how the mafia might kill your child or your wife if they actually want to make
you suffer. I would definitely find it difficult to spend even one more night at the home after an event like that.
This isn’t like having your dog run over in the street in front of your home-although that, too, would be very tragic. When I see people in similar circumstances make it their life’s crusade to find the killer of their wife, husband, child, brother, or sister, I see a resolution for justice in them that I see none of in Sergio. If he loved her as much as he claims, then, by honor alone, he should make it his life‘s crusade to find her killer. I would find it very difficult to move on in my life until something of this magnitude was resolved.
Godspeed in finding her killer And happy Easter to everyone!
