You know how sometimes you will hear or read something, and then it will kind of play with your mind? Well, that has been happening to some extent with me in regard to the conversation recently held relating to Bullard's (sp?) testimony (the neighbour near the Bosma's residence). I cannot say for certain whether (or was it Bullen?) Bullen actually said the word 'smaller' when he referred to the second vehicle. I heard his testimony, took a few notes, not my usual thorough note-taking on that day, but I just don't recall him saying 'smaller'. When I read the one tweet (and I believe there is only one that says that) which said that he said 'smaller', the first thing I thought was that he actually may have said 'similar', as opposed to 'smaller'.
Anyway.. that Yukon XL that belongs to DM, it is a LARGE vehicle. It is as large as a pickup truck. It looks like it could BE a pickup truck with a cap on it. And it is also hard to believe that in 2013, someone, anyone, wouldn't know what an SUV was. I could see if it was 2000, and someone wasn't sure what an SUV was, but not in 2013. That is kind of crazy to me. I have NO idea how the man could say that he knew it wasn't a truck and he knew it wasn't a car, but something in between. Really? That is just not how I would expect a Yukon XL to be described at all. If he did in fact say it was 'smaller', I guess I could potentially see that, because probably even though it is almost as long as TB's truck in length, it is likely lower to the ground, which would/could make it appear to be a 'smaller' vehicle. Did TB's truck have larger tires, and normally pickup trucks are higher off the ground than a Yukon, aren't they? So I guess that could explain that part. Was Bullen ever asked to identify the second vehicle and was he able to pick out the Yukon as being the one similar? I can't remember.
Now I am starting to have a few conspiracy theories running in my mind.. when I think about that description, and then combine it with how the trucks would have needed to backtrack in order to be seen going past the Supersucker camera, and then when the other vehicles were noted to have also been seen on the camera, and then the timing thing, and the discrepancies in cell tower pings, and etc. (ie one of the officers saying that TB's phone pinged at 10:56pm, even though the phone had been powered down at 10:02pm, etc). This is what a week off will do to me.
