I'm with you 100% on this as a possible location. It seems that it might make sense for Fd to head north from the JFd house on Welles. Where it gets tricky is AW2 and 3 said that Fd in JFd Suburban headed west leaving Welles and the phone tracked back to Lapham and then there is the "gap time" before Fd is seen in the Tacoma heading north on the Merritt with what looks to be a bike in the bed of the Tacoma. The Suburban we know was left on Lapham with the running lights on.
What happened during the "gap time" from 10:25 am - 11:12 am in NC?
The AW3 says that JFd was zip tied at Welles and presumably in the far rear of the Suburban on the liner.
Did JFd leave Welles alive or dead? Was the 'gap time' in NC used to murder JFd in the Suburban? Or was the 'gap time' in NC used to transfer the body and all the clean up materials to the Tacoma?
I was the one that did the drive to Brown's way back when and I agree that for the NC area, its quite remote with little traffic.
Gray Hughes second video on the most recent AW3 has him going back to something he did originally in the Dulos case which I found quite helpful to visualise Fd options in NC for body disposal. He used Google Earth to draw a rough area that Fd could have driven during the "gap period" between leaving 69/71 Welles, being seen on Lapham Rd, and finally being seen heading north in EE Truck on the Merritt heading back to Farmington.
Here is the AW3 slightly modified version of the 'gap time' available to Fd in NC.
Interesting that AW3 makes mention of possible sight of bike wheel in the bed of the Tacoma as Fd is heading back to Farmington. AW3 makes no mention of a body being visible in the Tacoma truck bed. Could the JFd body have been in passenger seat of the Tacoma and that was what Fd and MT were cleaning up at 80 MS?
What is still unclear is whether the 'gap time' in NC was used for disposal of a body into a predug grave or whether the time spent was used to transfer the JFd body from the Suburban where it appears she was zip tied into the Tacoma or was it used to murder JFd in the Suburban where she was zip tied? I'm sure other possibilities exist too for this timeline.
Did Fd put a zip tied JFd into the passenger seat of the Tacoma or did he bury her someplace in/around NC?
The AW2 and 3 stated that the JFd phone traveled from Welles to Lapham and is less clear about the route of that the JFd Suburban traveled to get back to Lapham. IMO given the age of the Suburban its likely that OnStar gave LE the exact path that the vehicle traveled.
The Suburban is seen leaving Welles at 10:25 am and the time the Suburban reached Lapham is not disclosed in AW3. Fd is not seen again in the AW2&3 until 11:12 am on the Northbound Merritt when Fd is in the Tacoma. I'm curious what others think about the AW language as I'm not 100% certain that the Suburban did travel directly from Welles to Lapham.
What happened between 10:25 am and 11:12 am? I believe Lindy Urso (EE Atty) speculated in an interview early in this case, that the JFd body was buried in NC area. Was the 'gap time' in NC spent burying a body or moving a body between 2 vehicles so that the body could be buried in Farmington area?

Could Fd have gone back to get his bike After transferring everything to EE's Red Truck? Could he have left the bike in the woods behind JFd's home at the end of Indian Waters?
Many on this thread have made note that the brush and foliage on Friday, May 24 was in full bloom, so to speak due to all the recent rain. This would make it difficult for Fd to have ridden or walked a bike through the woods.
It would be much easier to toss a bike in the bed of a truck than to try and force it into JFd's Suburban with her and all the clean up.
This would allow for the unknown time period after his arrival back at Waveney and before he was picked up on the Merritt CCTV at the New Canaan Rest Area at 11:12 am.
He could have traveled directly to Waveny at 10:25 am. Transferred Everything to EE's Red Truck. Take JFd's cell phone into Waveny Park for disposal. Drive to Indian Waters and toss the bike on top of the debris in the back of the truck. Then drive back to enter the Merritt and be picked up on the CCTV at 11:12 am.
This is what it looks like for the 47 minutes between 10:25 am and 11:12 am.
