Ya'll can discuss permits and contracts and sub-contracts and sweetheart deals and lifelong friendships until the cows come home, but what I see is that contrary to MG's estimate of a half hour's work, BM did at least eight hours of work with his Bobcat and with hand tools. I say that based on a lifetime in and out of construction, but more important....... I believe a defense would have no problem introducing experts to attest to the time required do do the work that BM did.
So, here is what I see of BM's rock solid wall of an alibi:
1. BM claims he left at 5:00 am. It’s a 2 hour 49 minute drive according to Google Maps and Directions. He would have arrived at the jobsite at about 7:49 am.
2. BM did about 8 hours of work with his Bobcat, shovel, hammer and screwdriver……….to peel back the grass seeding mats, scoop the dirt back from the wall with his Bobcat, and pop the adhesive bond each cap piece, laying the cap stone behind the wall.
3. BM undoubtedly went to the Holiday Inn Express, checked in, and got something to eat for lunch (about 45 minutes of time used)
4. Earliest time BM could have been done doing the “half hour of work” is 4:34 pm
5. BM claimed to have finished working at 5:00 pm
6. BM took a long, hot shower and left his wet towels on the floor for the maid to replace.
7. BM claimed to have departed for his home at the same time as the 911 call was being placed by the neighbor, which was 5:46 pm. It’s again a 2 hour 49 minute drive, but there would have been a mandatory 10 minute stop for fuel. The earliest he could have arrived was 8:45 pm
8. BM claimed to have arrived at about 9:00 pm
This alibi can be proven or disproven by:
a. Eyewitness account of the hotel employee who checked BM in.
b. Hotel and meal receipts
c. Video from at least three motel security cameras (parking lot, entry, front desk and key entry)
d. Traffic camera video from a minimum of four operating traffic cameras
e. Cell phone “ping” data
f. Cell phone call logs and text transmission data
g. GPS data from the Ford truck
h. GPS data from the Bobcat loader
I. Eyewitness accounts of LE officers who met BM on CR 225
Basically, it only takes one flaw in the timeline to kill an alibi defense. I just don't see it here. It's too simple and there are numerous ways to confirm. The fact that LE has not found anything to kill it in 5.5 months speaks volumes for considering other possibilities, which neither LE nor MSM have chosen to do publicly. So, the question seems to be:
What next?
IMO
