I actually saw this video yesterday (well, I listened to it while cooking) and noticed several obvious ‘untruths’ in the first 10 minutes. Then as it went on, the story was so preposterous, I realized it was fiction and wondered why it was created in the first place. I thought it unlikely she would meet anyone, especially a love interest, when she had 5 kids in the car and likely had a hangover and didn’t have time to shower - and needed to get kids to play practice. I actually laughed out loud when they talked about her husband and BIL laundering money for the mob through their drywall business.
You mentioned the footage from the gas station. In the documentary, they show her walk in, look briefly, say a couple of words to the clerk and leave. Is this just a partial clip? Is there a full clip somewhere depicting the entire visit where she is walking down an aisle and stopped to look at merchandise? My interpretation of the doc clip was, she walked in looking for liquor, saw it and realized they don’t sell it until after noon on Sundays (Sullivan county liquor law) and that was what the few words she exchanged with the clerk were about. My speculation of course.
Also IMO, as a super Mom with history of dental issues and 5 kids in tow, I would bet that OTC painkillers and a first aid kit were packed and on board.
