Quite honestly I expected him to head west on Hwy 8 then take one of the N/S roads to get onto roads that would have no traffic at that time of night. That way, by heading west, away from Barron, your chances of meeting any LE would be virtually nonexistent. You also have to remember that he didn't know what was in the house, it could have had 5 teenagers all with cellphones plus the parents cellphones. And all it takes is one to call 911. He never expected LE to be there so quick as he just escaped by less than a minute.
Being he went east I am guessing he went all the way to Hwy 53. First of all that would be the fastest way as it is just like 4 miles east of Barron and is 55 MPH once outside of town. You get on Hwy 53 and it is 70 MPH straight to Gordon only slowing down for Trego. The reason I don't think he turned north on Hwy 25 is first of all it is slower, as you have 55 MPH for almost 10 miles (to Hwy 53), and you slow to 45 before you get to the ramp at Hwy 53 by the DMV in Rice Lake. Also, if you turned on Hwy 25 north not only do you drive right by the Sheriff's office (County Criminal Justice Center) where all the cops will be coming from but also once you go through Barron far enough to get to Hwy 25, you are past most of the places that you would think would have security cameras such as the gas station, like Holiday, Kwik-Trip and food joints like McDonald's and Subway. Also, don't quote me on this, but I believe CVS drugs is on the corner of Hwy 8 & Hwy 25 and the drugs stores would certainly have cameras all over so if you drove by 2 sides of CVS (Hwy 8 then turn north on Hwy 25) your chances would be that much greater to be caught on a security camera. One has to remember this was after midnight on a Sunday night so the traffic out is going to be at a minimum. If I read it correctly LE said JP's vehicle was the only one they met. I'm guessing he wanted the fastest way back to Gordon.
But after having said all that is feasible after he realized the cops were at the house so quickly he could have taken any number of back roads north and staying off the main roads where he knew there would be virtually no chance of meeting any other cars, especially LE.
The information will surface. Again, I grew up on all those little back roads around there and I just can't imagine for the life of me why he headed east. I think he didn't imagine a 911 call would be made as soon as it was. The call was made before the issue with taping Jayme and I am sure that in itself, the taping, was over a minute in length as he first requested Denise do it then after awhile he took over the job taping the mouth/head, the hands and the feet.
It will be interesting to find out the actual route. MOO
I agree with everything you said and think it will be interesting to find out the actual route too.
I was not so much talking about going past Jennie O and the sheriff's department. I can't name the road offhand but if you take a left in Barron at the edge you can go a ways and then take a right and you end up on Hwy 25. I was thinking if he saw the cops pass and he was worried about cameras in town, it may be what he did to avoid cameras. He would then not pass Jennie O nor the sheriff's department I don't think (I forget exactly where the road comes out but I think he would miss both). I also guess I was thinking that if they called for assistance Barron PD or Cameron could respond and come right down Highway 8 and also pass him or see him.
But then I go the other way as you state and think getting on Highway 53 would be the quickest but it seems pretty chancy to me but then who would think he would go east either, especially if he knew of the 911 call?
I think the answers to these things may be telling. Was there a thrill in passing LE and thinking they don't have a clue? Beats me. I would almost think, he said 20 seconds, he almost could have heard them or seen them coming as he left the driveway...
This is one ODD case.
I am glad she is home and I hope justice prevails for her parents and what she went through as well.
