It's difficult not to spend all of my time time right now following the McStay investigation. But, the case that brought me to this website a very long time ago is Bob's and I thought I would post a couple of pictures that have always had me wondering about the first night Bob went missing.
Picture 1 is of a kitchen laid out identical to Bob's, except reversed. The important thing to notice in this picture is that the doorway at the far left (just past the empty refrigerator spot) leads directly to the garage, where the laundry area is located).
Picture 2 shows the laundry area from the vantage point of that same door. Note that there is a door to the side yard of the house next to the laundry with a standard lock & key mechanism.
Picture 3 is of the sliding glass patio door in the kitchen that leads to the rear yard. It is the standard door used in California construction and it is only lockable from inside the house with a latch. There is no lock and key mechanism.
I'm curious about the connection between 2 facts we know. First, when JM returned from Home Depot to find Agnes waiting by the front door he went to the back of the house to let her in. There are only 3 exterior doors on that model house: the front door, the side door (by the laundry) and the sliding glass patio door. If he entered from the patio door it would have to be unlocked from the inside.
Second, when LE arrived and were let in by AH they did NOT look in the garage :banghead: They were told by AH that it was inaccessible because of all of the things being stored there. It is incomprehensible to me that they didn't look in there for Bob! They could have checked by opening the main garage door, the door by the laundry or forcing open the kitchen access door. Obviously, just about anything could have been hidden in there that night waiting to be disposed of in the middle of the night of the next morning.
