I absolutely agree Amster and have been thinking the same thing...that IF he is the perp there has to be a reason he admitted to that, knowing full well that would put a target on his back. I hadn't really delved into what I thought the reason could be until I read your post. I can totally see something like that happening..because this is kinda where my old brain has gone..
That he gets quits/gets fired that morning..which in my mind would pretty much guarantee that you ARE NOT going to be in the best of moods..and if someone had a temper to begin with things could get dicey real quick with very little 'justification' for lack of a better word...I'm not saying that he does or that happened ..I'm just sayin..
Then he obviously didn't call Billie and tell her about the job from what she says...so would that time of day have been odd for him to be at the house..Did he go there at that time thinking she would be home shortly to tell her about the job loss and then changed his mind after the disappearance? or had he intended to deceive her? He had to know by the time LE was called that there was no way to get around NOT telling her so, idk...How long after that did Billie come home? I just can't shake a feeling that I get that mom MAY know more than what she is saying thinking that info has no impact on the case, but may look bad in some way and not realizing what info is pertinent and what is not. I realize that's not popular opinion and that's ok..I'm hoping to feel more confident that I'm totally off base, that just hasn't happened for me yet..
Amster, I somehow got off track (as per usual for me :crazy
but I agree, IF he is involved which sadly I believe is a strong possibility then I absolutely believe
there was a reason he admitted being there and seeing Hailey..because he would have had no way to be sure whether or not she had told to whomever she was talking to..and of course if the phone calls are true we don't even know whether it was one call or more. Do we know for sure whether or not Billie spoke w/her by phone that day or not?
