@Alkali13, or anyone else from that area: I am curious what the area around Canton is like. Are there waterways around there that have quite a bit of private access? An abandoned quarry?
I ask because I've long noted that on MT's alibi script, the afternoon hours appear to be bookended by the issue of "rugs" (she brought them up a couple times in the interview so far). Around 11:30 or thereabouts, she calls "Barbara" to tell her that she doesn't know where the rugs are. (In the interview, she mentions a warehouse or somewhere else in Canton.). Then at the end of the day after PG has arrived in Farmington, at roughly 5, she claims she left to go check on the rugs, but then realized that we would not make it to the store before 5:30 closing, so turned back around and called Barbara to say she'd do it the next day.
This captured my attention because I've often wondered if JFD's body was wrapped (say bagged, rolled up in her own cargo liner) and so wrapped, it looked like a bound up rug. The zip ties used were long - 36" - so much longer than needed merely to restrain wrists and ankles, possibly long enough to wrap around and secure a rolled up liner.
Did MT feel a need to explain a bundle that might look like a rolled up rug that had been taken to somewhere around Canton?
ETA: Let me just add that I looked up routes. From 69 Welles Ln to Canton is roughly 80 miles (1-1/2 hours) taking Route 15 to Nichols, Route 8 thru Waterbury to Torrington, and Route 4/202 from Torrington to Canton. From Canton to 80 MS Rd is roughly 10 miles (20 minutes) through either West Avon or Avon. Total travel time is 1 hour 50 minutes.
From 10:30 am to 1:36 pm (when both FD and MT arrive together in separate vehicles to 80 MS Rd) is a little over 3 hours. So if taken to Canton, that would leave 1 hour and 10-15 minutes time to dispose of a body.
