Pointing out a couple of inconsistencies--small though they might be.

Campbell says Amber would usually bring her phone with her; however she left it home for some inexplicable reason that evening.

Renee Avery testified that Campbell had told Amber she didn't need her phone that night--and other witness testified to the fact that he didn't want Amber to bring her phone with her, as well.

Natasha Pace‏@NatashaPace44m
Campbell says both he and Amber had cell phones in 2011. She typically wouldn't leave without a phone, but that night did.

Natasha Pace‏@NatashaPace34m
According to Avery, Mason told Amber she didn't need her phone the night she went to the bar.
https://twitter.com/NatashaPace

__________

Campbell said he didn't want to "leave people at his house," but yet he rushed off to pick Amber up leaving two strangers in "his house," and later let them spend the rest of the night in "his house."

When he returned without Amber, he brought them a blanket and played his guitar.

Natasha Pace‏@NatashaPace50m
Campbell says he didn't want to leave people at his house. Stayed home when everyone went to bar.

Natasha Pace‏@NatashaPace38m
Avery said she wanted to go with Mason to town, but couldn't wake her boyfriend. Mason left the apartment with another man, Ian.

Campbell agrees that police cautioned him not to get too involved in looking for Amber, told him not to accuse anyone.

Natasha Pace‏@NatashaPace26m
Campbell again says it's irrelevant.

I found Mr. Goodall's testimony was confusing, so I'll post these tweets from another reporter who seems to make the main points clearer.

However, she doesn't mention Goodall seeing the taillights behind his barn going up the logging road.

I'm not sure of the importance of that, but I can't help but wonder if maybe it was only then when Amber's remains were being left in the shallow grave.

We should know definitively soon, though.
