This photo is very telling of who placed the 'camouflage'. Those boards are to hide the tyres, not the body of the vehicle.
Imo the person/s who did this had to know the routine for the salvage yard, and also know that every other vehicle in that vicinity didn't have any tyres, which would make Teresa's Rav 4 look out of place to someone who works there.
That would be the same person whose blood was found inside.

When I say "vicinity" I am referring to the ridge area the Rav 4 was.
To hide it from any family members. Imo, it shows knowledge of how the Avery Salvage yard functions.
As you can see in the photo, even the branches on front of the vehicle appear to be serving the same purpose. They're both leaning on each end of the bumper bar in line with the tyres. They don't appear to be hiding the body of the vehicle.
It is midnight where I live so need to be heading off to bed but I will have a look for some close up photos of the surrounding cars tomorrow.

"Framing a Murderer"
Episode 3 & 4 are out.

For all the reasons already given, I'm somewhere around 70/30 towards SA's guilt.
What's missing for me, and what would tilt my opinion all the way over to guilty is a cohesive narrative and timeline that ties all the evidence in together to give a credible account of what actually happened.
The framing theory just doesn't do it for me. Too complex, the logistics of it don't make sense nor does the motivation. And it relies on too many coincidences - something had to have happened to TH on a day when she'd been to visit SA, when he just happened to be having a bonfire and conveniently decided to clean up an area of floor in his garage. Having said that, I cannot discount the possibility that some evidence may have been tampered with in order to strengthen the case against SA.
The story put forward in BD's confession doesn't work for me either though. I'm undecided about the extent of his involvement, but there's no doubt in my mind that he was fed a particular narrative and that version of events just doesn't make sense to me. In particular I struggle with the stabbing and slashing taking place on the bed not being backed up with at least some blood evidence.
The one thing I'd love to know is whether there's any evidence of how recent the damage to the front of TH's RAV4 was.
There's a particular line of thought that I just can't help my mind from going down at the moment and some more information on that would help me to either dismiss it altogether or decide it's worth further thought.
If that damage to her car was recent, I can't help wondering whether perhaps the job want as normal, but she had a minor accident on leaving the junk yard.
Not enough to disable the car, but sufficient that she didn't want to continue her journey without it being checked out.
If phone reception was patchy, what would be more logical than returning to a nearby place where they work on cars to seek assistance from somebody she knows?
A routine photography job, followed by a return visit would tie up a lot of loose ends for me and present a more logical version of what may have happened.
> It fits with the propane guy's potential sighting of the car leaving and the bus driver seeing her performing the job.
> It would make SA's actions opportunist rather than pre-planned - which IMO fits better with his personality and IQ.
I'll willingly accept that he may have been obsessing over Teresa or at the very least had a bit of a 'thing' for her - there's enough out there to suggest that he had a history of that sort of behaviour and I see no reason to doubt the 'towel' story.
However, the idea that he'd planned all of this out or would be stupid enough to attack somebody on his own property when plenty of people knew that she'd be there has never sat right with me.
An unexpected return would give him the opportunity to act on impulse and perhaps even foster the belief that she'd checked in to say she'd left the junkyard and nobody knew she had gone back.
> The lack of blood evidence in the garage becomes less of an issue for me if he'd perhaps lured her in there under the pretext of working on her car.
I'm convinced that a clean up occurred in the garage, but what if the clean up was to cover evidence that a car had recently been worked on in there and not to get rid of blood at all?
(This version of events kind of leads me to him lulling her into a false sense of security while he worked on the car and then restraining her or coercing her back into the car with the killing itself occurring somewhere other than on his immediate property - perhaps elsewhere on the junkyard???)
I'm completely convinced of his guilt. I too feel that he thought he was untouchable when he committed this murder. He was meeting all these powerful people and having a bill named after him. Some say that's why he wouldn't do this because he had so much going for him. I on the other hand feel it's just who he is. He knew he would be able to claim they framed him, only it didn't work. There is nothing normal about dousing a cat in gas and throwing it on a fire. That IMO is a show of true colors and just plain sick.
While I can not nail down exactly what happened, I can say the totality of evidence is beyond a reasonable doubt. Is it beyond all doubt? Absolutely not. What I've noticed while reading opinions on this case is that people try and single out each piece of evidence and explain it away. That is wrong IMO, in every case excuses and reasons can be made for single pieces of evidence. What does the whole picture look like though? That's what matters.
It's much more reasonable for me to conclude that AC was checking his info on her car when he called about the plate than to say he stumbled on a vehicle of a girl that had been missing 3 days, hours after she was reported missing and before anyone else. That a perfect situation to frame SA landed in his lap. The same explanation is also more reasonable IMO than her ex or brother having ACs number and calling him personally about finding the car, rather than the guys actually working THs missing person report.
The bones in the burn pile is what does it completely for me. I believe he pulled a couple of the larger bones out of the pile and left the fragments that weren't clearly identifiable as bones. Why else would someone else have gathered all the tiny fragments enough that there was a piece of every bone in her skeleton from the neck down (teeth and jean rivets included) and left or placed the larger ones elsewhere? A long bone and collarbone were in the burn barrel and the pelvic bone was at the quarry. I mean it's clear that it wasn't obvious bones were in the pit, it went unnoticed for days during searches. Even looking at pictures, most people would never know those fragments were bones. Not to mention her personal belongings were burned in his burn barrel.
The bleach used in that garage is a huge one too. Its hard to believe looking at the pictures that bleach had ever been used to clean anything in that filthy garage, besides that night.
There is just an over whelming amount of coincidences that had to occur during this time frame to prove SAs innocence.
He just happened to have a bonfire burning tires the night TH went missing and her body was burned.
He just happened to spill something on the floor of his garage that needed to be cleaned with bleach.
He just happened to get a large cut capable of bleeding a lot on his hand.
He just happened to be unlucky enough to be framed by the police and the real killer?
Those are a few of my thoughts.
Cops had many " coincidences " as well.OK, there ya go!! I wondered about the bones in diff places. That thought didn't even cross my mind.
The bonfire was a point for me, too. Didn't he deny or not mention it at first? I wouldn't forget a big 'ol honkin fire I had in my back yard.
The bleach! I chuckle at the Clorox commercial when it says it's used to clean crime scenes. Or, when Blanche Devereaux on the Golden Girls says "we need more "blee-ock"" (two syllables). BUT, you're right about why use it to clean a garage.
Cops had many " coincidences " as well.
Too many.

Hmmm..no offense, me either..and I'm not old😉No offense, but, I'm not at all into the back and forth of posts or tag teaming and being frustrated with having to justify my position and my own evaluation of the evidence as on the other SA is innocent threads. The same evidence, presented in a court of law, which led a jury, of his peers, to find SA guilty. I'm not one of the planted evidence and cops railroaded this person theorists.
Life is frustrating enough. I'm old and I'm tired. No, I am not going to go back and reread every inch of this case. I'm not going to pick apart each and every word or whatever else there appears to be picked apart. That's kinda why I chose to post here. This thread is an "agree with the evidence/guilt of SA" thread. When I'm gonna discuss evidence, I'll go back and get supporting facts. When I'm gonna express my opinion or theory, I'll express it, without the frustration of continuously defending it.
Yes, I'm a boring wuss and want a discussion that's argument free, with people who don't tell me to "go back and reacquaint myself" with all the case documents so I can pick apart every little wrong word or phrase.
I posted one comment on the Zellner Tweets thread and chose not to continue because, basically, (my words, not those told to me) it was an agree with Zellner, no "what ifs", don't insult her, this is a "defense" type of thread. I accept that and totally understand and respect the fact that people, who believe contrary to myself and LE, are fighting, for what they believe, is an innocent man sitting in prison for a crime, they feel, he did not commit. Good for all of you. That's what the system is based on. Keep on keepin' on!
