It says “scalp” not “skull”. A portion of skin around the hole was missing.
I stand corrected. Sorry. My eyes are crossed.

We don't know that she willingly went to his house. Maybe, maybe not.
But she took the Lyft to a park, not to his home.
Her phone went dead immediately upon getting into his car. If she was willingly accompanying him home, I don't think her cell would have been turned off so suddenly. JMO
Here is the first case off of the top of my head. Although it may have been resolved by trial. But it gives you an idea how difficult it can be to get digital records. Hth.

In a related matter, McGee informed Smith that the phone carrier T-Mobile has not complied with a subpoena to produce requested phone records.
“Their position was they are not going to comply unless we pay them,” McGee told Smith. Failure by telecommunications companies to provide phone records has been a recurring issue in the Merritt case. In July 2016, AT&T failed to comply with three subpoenas issued by Maline and McGee for phone records, prompting the attorneys to file a motion requesting that Smith compel the phone service provider to comply.
Smith scheduled a contempt-of-court hearing on the T-Mobile issue for May 25. Representatives from T-Mobile could not immediately be reached for comment.
Why did she go to his house at 3am then? To talk? To someone she met that she didn't know?
I mean, I think there is some serious disconnection here. I'm a millennial. People my age do this kind of thing. It's not... blaming or shaming and I think it's cruel for people to think that it is.
People seem to have a disconnection to the fact that people do this. That doesn't mean they deserve to be hit over the head and murdered. It's just mere, pure facts. Sometimes facts aren't palatable.
"What you call a sexual pest, I call a sexual predator."
Semantics, but he didn't snatch her off the street. Like let's be realistic, she willingly met up with him for some reason. That doesn't mean she should be murdered, just that there was a reason she was there, it wasn't happenstance. Unless you think it was happenstance? That would be going against what LE has as evidence.
Her phone may have been turned off before getting into his car.
She may have turned it off herself as soon as her Lyft ride pulled into the parking lot.
Lyft records show she was dropped off at approximately 2:59 and her phone was powered off at 2:59, per the charging documents.
Her last text to him was just one minute prior to that.
It's possible she turned off her phone per some agreed-upon arrangement upon arrival at the parking lot and seeing his vehicle there.
JMO.
HOLD UP. Got to point something out. I don't think they met for sex guys. One thing to remember is that they got this asshat on an aggravating kidnapping charge before they even found her body. There must be something in the text messages that indicates she didn't go with him willingly or maybe even something that indicates she thought she was meeting him for a different reason, maybe even possibly threatened. I was looking up what Aggravating Kidnapping means and this came up on Google:
I can't help but wonder if he was stalking her online and maybe feared her into meeting up with him. Even @yellowmoose said back when this all started she couldn't see Kenzie meeting him willingly. Something must have made her go there for them to get him on that kidnapping charge.
Potentially both, I would imagine. Play dough and tube has no resistance but pipe going into skull has to pass hair, skin, skull whatever other tissue gets in the way. If pipe used, probably sideways. Doubtful he would try ramming it straight in as opposed to side hit. I’m with hand tool of some type. Short instrument. Bc being close to the victim needed bc instant reaction in anger. And /or thrill of hit up close and personal.

She wasn't meeting AA for breakfast and what makes somebody with a ton of responsibilities in life put everything on hold especially at that time?
Its either money or sex or both.
We do not know that she willingly met up with AA for the purpose of having sex. LE has NOT released the content of their text messages. I don't believe he was using his real name. In fact, the Affidavit notes the text message exchange was with "an individual later identified as AA."
ML didn't go to his house at 3 AM, she took a Lyft to a park. He may have lured her by saying he had been studying all night and wanted to catch a bite to eat. Meeting in the park would save on her cost of the Lyft.

It’s strange to have hair left in the pit. I’ve even singed my hair with a curling iron too hot and smelled terrible.just thinking about how a piece of scalp with hair still on it could have not been burnt and hair not be burnt off, was thinking if it was lodged inside a bar.
I think he spent the week believing he got away with the perfect murder.
I mentioned the possible photo shoot lure earlier. But, it wouldn't make much sense based on how she was casually dressed/done up in the airport photos at 2am. I thought maybe going to look at proofs might have been a possible lure.
This of course would mean they would have met up before for the photos.

Again, generational disconnection I think.
If you want to go into a different headspace, you turn off your phone. Not silent it. Turn it off.
Silent means nothing. My phones on silent all the time and I'm constantly checking it. Turned off means shut the world out.
People I know who hook up do that. I find it personally bad because of people like AA, but it's seriously like... off means that world is off. Who you are in that world is shut down for a bit.
She wouldn't want to mentally deal with connection to mom messaging back whilst she's relieving stress. Silent doesn't block anything out. Off does.
