I do see your point,
@MassGuy.
And I understand a lot of people believe he intended to commit murder even before he left to meet her in the park that night. But I’m not convinced that’s the case.
LE indicates his phone was in the park within a minute of hers. If he wanted the trail to go cold why would he have his phone turned on at all?
I think he certainly had plans for her. Things she refused to do or have done to her. And we’ve heard from his acquaintances that he’s volatile.
To go from the airport to the park meant he had something at that moment that she wanted. Badly. More than sleep. More than her kitty. Maybe it was money. Maybe compassion. Maybe something else. I would not be surprised to find they’d met there before.
The fact that she allowed the Lyft to depart meant she probably intended to willingly leave the park with him — either to stay with him at his house and/or, sooner or later, for him to take her home.
At some point, too late, she realized what she had gotten herself into...
We’ll learn more in the days and weeks to come, no doubt. Because you’re right. Most of what he did was illogical...
ETA: This is all MOO...
