11 pm: BS starts truck
- 11:09 pm BS turns off cell phone
Monday 10/7/2024
12:33 am BS truck on camera at HEB (no cargo except white ice chest)
(I am going to assume that he went home after this and that’s when neighbor heard truck return home)
07:53= Truck on camera at Howard Early Childhood Center (with white trash bags x2, and ice chest)
* assume BS returns home and loads up truck with another trash bag (now 3), LRG trash can, blue tarp w/ concealed body.
09:12 BS truck on camera at Whataburger with trash bags x3, lrg trash can, blue tarp w/ body
09:53 BS at Home Depot bought: 2 bags quickcrete, Orange contruction bucket w/ lid, 32 ct trash bags, Clorox, and bug spray)
- BS asked random person where nearest dump site is in Boerne
10:07 BS truck caught on camera leaving Kendall County waste site (toss trash bags? Or just assessed and left?)
11:15 BS truck at Valero in Kendall County
- Bought gas and 1 Gal water x2
- White trash bags missing (Blue tarp w/ body and lrg trash can still present)
- Changed into cowboy boots
- Did he mix concrete here?
11:20 Surveillance camera catches truck heading from Boerne to Bandera (items still seen in truck) and truck data shows BS driving to Medina (BS shuts off phone), was there for 13 minutes, before heading back towards Kendall county.
* What is the exact location where BS stopped? Was it in a wooded area? Was it near the lake? Did he hide her body to later return to it to dispose of it?
13:41 BS truck on license plate reader (LPR) entering Boerne (NO LONGER HAS BLUE TARP)
15:27 LPR (location unknown)- perhaps at Kindergarten picking up daughter? But, not blue tarp
16:07 BS on camera at carwash cleaning driver’s side and rear passenger side w/ Clorox
- Forensics of truck noted BS blood and dried cement splatters in L rear passenger side and in back of truck
< BS unaccounted for between 10/7/24 16:07 and 10/8/24 16:35 (at least from what we know from the arrest affidavit) >
Tuesday 10/8/2024
- 9 am OPPD and BS phone interview re: missing SS
- Forensics indicate that BS wrote 2 notes on his phone
- Bandera sheriff “contacted” BS while he was standing next to an active fire on his property
- which later revealed evidence of a laptop and 3 phones
16:35 BS texted Cotter, “If you’re still in Bandera, can you haul *advertiser censored* and meet me at your house?”… “I don’t have much time…” (* Assumption: BS knew Cotter would be in Bandera that day, now communicating via regular phones since (assumption), BS and Cotter were communicating previously with burner phones that were burned earlier that day.)
Cotter: “I will be there in 40 mins.”
BS: OK, make sure and leave all that *advertiser censored* in the pump house, especially that gun”.
20:31 Cotter to BS, “Get over here, I won’t tell anyone.”
Wednesday 10/08/2024
12 am- ish: BS arrested.
Questions that I am left with:
- What were Cotter’s whereabouts between 10/7/24 11am and 10/8/24 2030?
- Did he help dispose of the body?
- Did BS permanently dispose of the body during the 13 mins in Medina or did he just hide it for either him or Cotter to dispose of it?
- Does BS or Cotter own a boat? Which would give them access later to dump body in the lake? OR a nearby well/sewer/water tank?
- Digging would require a shovel and there was no mention of a shovel being found.
- The orange bucket and lid has not been recovered
-If the body was temporarily placed in Medina, I would think that he would have had the body permanently disposed of (either by him or Cotter) by the time he burned the burner phones the morning of 10/8.
