I agree. I was actually thinking about this the other day and it just really doesn't make sense.
I think that GA made up the story about going in the car trunk on the 24th. He gave way too much information.
the same this about seeing them leave on the 16th. Too much info. Too much detail.
Before anyone gets their panties in a wad, I know he is ex-LE, so was my husband and men, as a general rule, dont' notice much. It is just not in their makeup. How many times do you get a new hairstyle or a new dress or new glasses or whatever and have to point out what is new? They just don't see everyday stuff.
If that day there was something big that happened around the time they were leaving, he might, MIGHT have noticed what they were wearing but any normal day.....no way. If he was watching his favorite show, he probably never even looked up, just waved and said bye.
If he had gone in the trunk and found the gas can then, why did he not call the police and withdraw the report? He didn't forget to call. He didn't get busy and it slipped his mind. He didn't get those cans back till much later.
Where he got them is what I am not sure about right now. There weren't in the car when picked up from the tow yard because the tow yard guy didn't notice them.
I do believe that Cindy may have called Casey and told her about the gas cans and the police report and told her "Girl, I know you got the gas cans and you better get them back here before you Dad finds out it was you." but I don't think that Casey then showed up while her Dad was at home to put them back. That would have been truly stupid. She should have been able to tell if he was there or not.
Did CA's tires ever get rotated? Did he find the chock he was looking for? Why would she have even had a chock in her car anyway? I don't carry ours around with me.
