Thank you for this! Just finished listening. I have followed this case from the beginning and have gone back to re-read details several times, but until listening to the podcast I don’t think I fully grasped how tight the timeline is. When his dad says he arrived in town or on the crash scene around 5am, that’s just so soon after the wreck it puts the possibility of foul play a bit higher in my ranking of explanations here. And even further, the fact that the police were on scene so quickly ... it just seems like he couldn’t have been very far at that point and unless he was severely injured/impaired he would’ve heard LE arriving on the scene. And conversely, if he WAS injured, it doesn’t seem like he could’ve gotten all that far in such a short amount of time ... although I know much stranger things happen all the time.
Anyway. There are so many aspects of this case that are puzzling - the phone losing signal, the clothes in the road, the fact that he was on this back road to begin with - but the podcast helped highlight, for me at least, how little amount of time is thought to have passed between the crash and discovery of his vehicle.
Not only that but how little time LE took to tow a vehicle that was not blocking the road. They couldn't have done it any faster unless the tow truck was sitting there idling before the accident even happened. I find the need to hurry and tow a NON-blocking car, in the middle of the night, on a very cold and new moon evening (pitch black out), when I'm sure the tow guy would prefer sunlight to see better, and to be warmer... it just makes no sense to me. Not to mention doing that ruined a potential crime scene. Any evidence and many clues can be kissed goodbye.
I'd love to ask them what their rush was.
