This discussion is so old I'm having trouble remembering my exact thought process, but I don't remember ever saying the bike would have had to have been on S. McCauley. My point was, TH would have had to have found where ever MM stashed the bike, in order to dispose of it -- but my greater point was, why would he even need to do so (find it at all), if MM stashed the bike before the abduction/murder occurred at TH's house? He wouldn't need to find it at all, and also, if JCB's sighting of the boys with one bike is true (which isn't, imo), TH wouldn't have even known that MM had a bike at all that day, since he arrived home after MM had picked up CB.
In short, JCB's sighting of the one bike is extremely relevant, considering that both bikes would eventually be found in the bayou. If they (the bikes) were separated at any point that day (which I doubt, but I digress), then reunited later, it would be a pretty substantial facet. However, since I don't believe pretty much anything about the JCB sighting, I don't believe the bikes were separated that day at all; they were with the boys from the moment MM went to pick up CB, to the moment they were abducted, to the moment they were disposed in the bayou. To me, this is the most logical conclusion.
Ok let's think about things in a different light. In a situation like this a neighborhood and kids playing bikes, who is the responsible adult here? I mean who is ultimately responsible for the kids. I believe that the responsibility ultimately falls on the Hobb's family. Meaning that all the boys went over to SB house to play with bikes. PH left for work leaving TH in charge of the kids. Perhaps his stand offness could be just a result of absolving himself of the guilt and responsibility for not keeping a close enough watch over the kids. Perhaps in TH's mind SB was "missing" but he was most likely angling to stay out later and play. So TH blew it off to go hang out with a friend. From other sources and his past record he seems like he was not a stand up guy. Maybe all he really hid was an irresponsible attitude towards watching children who aren't his own. But if he didn't do it then who did???
