The whole camera thing is odd to me too.
One theory:
Maybe there is footage of her getting into someone's vehicle without a struggle of some sort. So there's no actual evidence of an abduction or other crime, but they know who she left with based on the videos from that garage.
If that's the case, maybe LE said the cameras were broken as a tactic in hopes that the perpetrator would let their guard down, and maybe lead them to the proof that they need.
If I were the person that did this and I was told there was no footage of me leaving with or attacking CM in that garage, I'd probably start to think I might just get away with it. It would at the very least ease the tension they undoubtedly felt after committing such an act.
Another thing...
If her keys really were missing, the above scenario would seem to make sense if EA actually offered to drive her home. She could have accepted the offer and then sent that last txt to her boyfriend to leave the door unlocked.
And since it is alleged CM and her boyfriend were arguing, maybe she thought showing up with EA would incite him in some way.
They walk to his car, get in and drive away.
Even if LE can verify the exact time he arrived home that evening, he had at least 3 days to dispose of any evidence of a crime. What were his movements in the days following CM's disappearance?
This is all just one theory, obviously. This case is driving me crazy!!
I so hope she is found soon.
As of approximately October 9th, all cameras are reported to have been working all along. How weird is that? Earlier the impression was that only one camera was working leaving two that were broken. The three cameras are the ones capable of capturing Christina and her car and EA and his car, logically. Why would LE or we care about other cameras? Then, later the cameras capturing "cars going in and out" were referred to but the three original cameras must pertain to the area of the potential crime scene.
The mystery is, for what reasons did the camera status change? Potential lawsuits directed at Legacy Shops or LE telling a fib to begin with? I hope all cameras were working. If they were though, LE would be able to see Christina walking beyond their margins, engaged in a struggle, standing somewhere, something? No?
The video of EA and CM walking doesn't seem too vague to me. Can't any of the cameras in the garage capture images of people entering their cars, backing out, driving forward, etc.? How can Christina disappear between the walkway and somewhere further inside the garage? This, I ask, if all cameras were working as LE is claiming now?
