by Adam Carter 12:50 PM

 

[CJPRINCESS]

Well my blood thru bolt holes theory isn't so far fetched now eh?? SS says "DM sat on a pail to drive it" sounds possible seats were taken out at farm on May 6th (that hour between farm and hanger) just need a socket, flashlight and 2 guys to remove seat assembly...and a pail to sit on to drive the truck.

 

[Kamille]

Why is everyone reporting that SS was removing the windshield on May 7th? That was supposed to be the day he didn't go to work. I think maybe SS is messing up these dates on the stand? AC also typed May 6th for SS going to Hamilton with his wife.

MOO

 

[Kamille]

Now seeing texts from Thursday, May 9. Millard called Schlatman's phone twice that afternoon. Schlatman says he missed both calls. Millard asks him to "throw two boxes of satin white spray paint in the Yukon plz." Millard wasn't at the hangar at that time.
by Adam Carter 12:51 PM

Schlatman says he didn't know why he wanted that spray paint.
by Adam Carter 12:52 PM

Each box would have six cans in it, he says.

Possibly. Or DM lied about the pail so he had a way to explain the situation to SS.
