EA originally claimed he damaged his car earlier in the week, prior to the 29th. He said he was working on the tire and the jack or something like that fell and he hurt his arm as a result. He also told friends he was so angry when it happened that he then punched the car with his bare hand. The police showed photos of the dent to collision specialists who said the damage could not have come from a punch. I've always wondered about the dent. Some people who know him and didn't think he could kill someone even speculated if he got in his car- his pride and joy- and wanting to show off or just drunk, backed out too quickly and hit CM with his car, freaked out and then put her in the trunk. But, I think it later came out the dent was on the side and not on the back fender so that doesn't work. Another theory involved that she got in his car willingly for some reason, they left together, exited at Custer, went a little ways until he pulled over either to meet someone else for drugs or just to then make his move on her and then things went wrong. All this speculation is from people who knew them and we're having a hard time putting it all together with the guy they knew.
