Last night was pretty rough for me. I barely catch any sleep cause family member kept waking me up every 30mins. I ended up exhausted and in the morning I overslept. Big time.
I don't have a car, I couldn't get lift from anyone at the time, and I had less than hour to fill very important documents and deliver them. Yesterday I was sure that I'll be able to do it in the morning but that option wasn't there anymore. So I grabbed those papers and a pen, ran towards the bus stop as soon as I could (cause no taxis available where I live) and cause I knew that even in the best case scenario I'll get five minutes before the timeline - and even that only if I'll run from my last bus stop. Having no other choice I decided to fill these while in the bus. Quite a few "open" questions there required me to write few lines of text here and there.
Bus in question looked kinda like that:

One of those older types of buses still out there.
My handwriting looked exactly like this:

One moment it wasn't shaking that bad so I was able to write pretty much normally. Then there was a bus stop, sharp stop, hole in the road and some verses escaped straight lines, some words became oddly scattered while other too close together.
Later I got a lift home. In a 2000-something Ford, so not anywhere close to the Oldsmobile from early 70's but I tried to write things on the dashboard and on the window cause I recalled this post:
And I while using dashboard my writing looked absolutely normal, turns, stops and holes barely affected it at all.
Writing on the window did not work at all with single sheet of usual paper and oldschool pen with little ball at the end of it. I ran out of ink in half of the first line. With whole notebook put on the window writing again looked relatively normal.
I'd think that FBI analysis had to include looking at the back of that letter and see if it looks like it was written on the firm smooth surface (like a window, dashboard or even roof of a car), or if it was something smooth, like soft wood or other pages in notepad.
On the available pictures it doesn't look like it was thick paper and light pressure for a pen - both of those factors could result with bottom side of the note being unaffected by whatever surface it was put on.
I don't like to think that local investigators were complete idiots. Despite of their tragic lack of action in the very beginning they do not appear like they were idiots.
Yet, they seem to seriously consider that it was possible that despite of them
having perfectly good and working car and (assumming that letter was genuine and posted as girls left the area)
disclosing their plans right away they decided to leave the car in the "sear's parking lot" and not near the bus station.
Investigators couldn''t think that they WALKED all the way from the mall to the bus station on foot. It does make no sense. Unless... there was a bus stop in sight with buses that headed straight to the bus/railway station.
Cause this way - with bus stop - some sense (a little, but some) it makes. Like
okay, maybe girls thought that it'll be easier to locate the car here, and that it'll be safer (for the car) to leave it there than somewhere close to the bus station and then they just got into the city bus.
If there was a bus like that, then... wasn't that the easiest, most convenient way for the obvious suspect to drop the car at Sears and head back to the workshop?
Not sure if I said that before but even if I did, I will do again.
ALL Verified Insiders, including DA were to some degree relying on TT's stories. Whatever they were able to figure out on their own or hear from other family members was undeniably, at least in the very beginning affected by his stories. If he was changing them later, even more so cause each person had to make their own choice: what they believe in and what seems more/less probable for them. Each person had naturally bit different experience with those who told them things...
It's not that weird. It just means that it wasn't straight fact even then, even for family members. Usually it means that someone couldn't keep his story straight from the very beginning. It rarely happens cause quite a few VI in this case, not so many in others, and also cause usually there is no close family member responsible.
And as for my thoughts.
From the top of my head.
Let's look at the cases of Amy Lynn Bradley, Tara Calico, Jennifer Kesse, Corrie McKeague, Ben Needham; Stacy McCall, Sherrill Levitt and Suzie Streeter
Not all of these had a few (or any) VI here, but there were multiple family members speaking to the press, trying to get attention and bring awareness to their loved ones going missing.
Very little controversy between them - if any. Occasionally something minor caused by confusion, close ones believing in different theories as years go on.
And then let's look at the cases of Tylee Ryan and JJ Vallow, Caylee Anthony, Alissa Turney, Susanne Morphew...
Endless confusion. Endless struggle to make sense out of anything there. Contradicting statements coming from - not only family members who (as we now know) murdered them, not only from those who knew and decided to cover up for them, but also from
friends and family members who had no idea, who loved them, mourned their loss, wanted to find them - yet
their insights were often all over the place, cause they had just more insight into murderer's lies, not into the facts.
No one close to the victim responsible for their murder = family and friends keeping facts as straight as possible cause their only goal is to find the missing person or find out who's responsible for the crime. Misreporting can bring lots of confusion but they're clearing it up, able to clear it up.
Someone close to the victim responsible = more often than not murderers are lying their *advertiser censored**** off while friends and family members are (as years are passing) going all over the place with their facts cause they never got them straight.
