I will just say, if Nick is the perp, there is truth to every lie....that is tried and true. So he very well may have taken her and headed towards her apt. I keep going over in my head his wording....can not remember it Verbatim, but along the lines of let me out here. I don't know, just the way it was worded, I believe she said that. I also think she may have acted spooked, I think that a lot he said was true, but just don't think he is telling full story.
Also, he seems very honest and down to earth. Most sex offenders are. Unless they are a sexually violent predator that does not involve the grooming process, they have seeming innocent and charming down to a science. I honestly sometimes think they believe their own lies, making them even better liars.
