I guess it's weighing up what is the likelihood that whoever the shooter is, managed to get that device on his truck without being spotted against the chances of a burner phone and letting that person know they are leaving... just my opinion.
I have thought a lot about this myself. The family schedule wasn't entirely normal that morning but the timing of the crime was almost perfect. How would you have coordinated this without leaving any trace? Did you even need to coordinate? Could I just wait until I see sergio's van go by and then go? Could you give someone access to the password for your Nest Camera so they could watch? Burner phones are typically not untraceable at all- there is a purchase point, video, some sort of credit check/bank card transaction, a billing address...
That morning the killer had to know not only, that SB is gone now, but that Liz would be at her garage sale. A tracking device alone wouldn't have helped.
I wonder how closely LE has looked at the neighbors that had a view from their windows to the Barraza home. Were there any neighbor disputes, HOA issues in the past? Could a disgruntled neighbor have alerted the killer who was staged nearby?
I just keep going back and forth with it. Really you could say the truck could be just as traceable as using a burner phone, yet nothing has come from that.

Possibly! That is a good theory. I just can't shake that the person or people involved had more inside knowledge to know the change in routine and the garage sale etc. Imo it was someone Elizabeth knew. It's too perfect...
Good thinking!
I'd have to look at a map but wonder if the move out of the school parking lot was so that someone would be able to see they're in the neighborhood? Or perhaps the "trucker" feared cameras were rolling... tho, it's been stated that the school's cctv weren't working. As always, speculation, moo.
I sometimes wonder about tips and LE's management of them. Look at the 2005 disappearance and murder of Tara Grinstead. Over a decade later LE makes an arrest and says "He was never on our radar." Not long afterward, CBS's "48 Hours" covers the case and finds out that years before the arrest a person called in a tip about the murderer confessing to him. AND he not only calls in then, but in subsequent years he calls in MULTIPLE times with details and the killer's name - from 2007 to 2016. LE had no response to "48 Hours". The tipster had come across the killer while in the Army in 2006, the year after the murder. He called local LE and the GA Bureau of Investigation - who was actively involved in the case - and nothing happened. It's about 16 minutes into "48 Hours", Season 33, Episode 66. The killer SHOULD have been on their RADAR, but no one knows why.
I'm missing something. Did the truck drive into the parking lot at Goddard School or was it leaving or both (on surveillance)?
