It will be interesting if they post toll photos or data because from where HB&SC's apartment is, the quickest route to Houston is straight out 71 to Bastrop, where you pick up 290. That is tolled. You DO have an option to skirt the toll and spend an extra 20 minutes sitting at a series of annoying lights, then hop back on to get to where you pick up 290. There are TxDOT cameras everywhere on that route though even if you skirt the toll. The other, "I make poor choices" route involves taking 35 north to 290 East which is a nightmare and would lengthen their trip, but also put them in more close proximity to a LOT of cars inches away from them, as would have their short trip down Wm. Cannon. She could have taken Wm. Cannon east in a sneaky secret back way to the airport and been a lot less visible, then picked up 71. The point is, either TxDOT or that toll booth on 71 has a photo of her or multiples.
No, he said a friend who lived in the complex.
Exactly - which might explain the body in the trunk. What "mother" of a three week old has time to shower, much less deal with that?
Yes - this is bizarre to me as a person who is sometimes forced to do this drive. And 2.5 hours is the Cinderella version - no wrecks, done between 10 and 3 inside of either rush hour. The drive is often more not-Cinderella-y. It would appear VERY odd to me if a friend had someone doing this, outside of the factors I mentioned before - a woman with no one else in her life or who for whatever reason wasn't capable or comfortable with going to routine appointments by herself - risky pregnancy, no car, etc. But HB had already had a child - she knew the ropes. Again, I've never encountered that happening and I know 2 people with NINE children, and a lot of people I've seen go through maternity. It's weird.
