GUILTY TX - Christina Morris, 23, Plano, 30 August 2014 - #19 *Arrest*

[zippixx]

At this point for EA, his life is certainly changed. He might just be better off in prison.. I don't think anybody would hire the guy & the friends he has will probably distance themselves.. I'm pretty sure this story has made national news.. If he gets away with this, he may need to change his identity or leave the country. Hopefully he will realize this & spill his guts.. I hope. If he has the slightest bit of compassion (which at this point I don't see) or conscience, maybe, just maybe he'll fess up... I'm just very concerned that finding Christina has LE baffled. JMO & I'm sorta thinking out loud (again)..

OK. Thanks for answering.

We've all seen cases where LE gets tunnel vision and doesn't look at other people's possible motive. I think that's what frisson is referring to? And I could see that if EA had told one white lie, maybe - but his go on and on. I have to say he was believable to me at first, I don't deny that. Then the little things started nagging at me - wouldn't he have heard her close her door, start her car, turn the lights on, something?? They were practically the only ones left in the garage. And I feel sure LE has more video than we know of and they do know what they are doing. They just have to prove it with DNA. I was surprised they didn't get enough when they first searched his car, but to take it and keep the mats and seat belt on the passenger side shows they do think she left there in his car, can't get around that. Love everyone's open-mindedness, though. Like a parachute, our minds work best when open!

I asked this last week and bashed for it. All I got was no way he would go through that much trouble. ......but its always possible! IMO

Of course it is......happens all the time. Maybe I'm putting too much faith in LE's evidence collecting net, but I imagine, hopefully, they are covering that very possibility.

I watched the uncut interview and I found him to be telling the truth about that aspect. That he didn't hurt Christina... or harm.. I cant recall the exact wording. If I did not have those interviews(and there are a couple more out there or I saw snippets of the same one) I would be confused as to who did what and I'd be inclined to say it looks really bad for EA.... without the interview. The interview changed that for me. Also, the other circumstances can indeed be deemed peculiar. (There's a list of them that I don't have right now, but you touched on some of them) those things don't convince me in that, yes, they're fishy and weird, but not absolute for me. I'm not convinced for sure how he got those injuries and I'm not even sure what the injuries were. I asked on another page if LE examined his body for scratches, - head, face, neck ,chest, etc and maybe I missed the answer if there was one. There's more that does not equal kidnapping or manslaughter or murder for me. For example, vacuuming is not weird to me. I can see how some would see it that way though. I'll stop there.

I don't think it's just one action that was weird it's all the actions combined with the lying.

Vacuuming.....squeeging your car...wiping only parts of it... Combined with fresh damage to your car in addition to being late for work (why is your car so important right now when you're late to work dude?) and the circumstance of course, you left a party and were last seen with a missing girl.

Just one of any of those may not of been weird but all combined. Super weird.

I totally agree EA seems to be the main POI.
Everything points to and at him.

I just have a few things nagging at me about all this is all.
and its sad I cant ask any questions about it.

You should be able to ask about it...just generalize somehow and don't name names, right?

All good points and I did figure you were male!
I don't see him confessing without a body (sorry friends and family of Christina)
Maybe his dad's real estate company will hire him....

IF he is guilty, and IF the motive was SA, and IF gets away with this, then it's all the less safe out there on the streets, bc guys who commit murders based on SA motives do it again. JMO

OMG. LIGHTBULB. LYNSIE'S case, I watched it again bc you guys were talking about it...remember the dumpsite??!!! One of his dad's company's jobsites!

(See, this is where it gets tricky with TOS).

So I'll just say this. LE, if you're reading, based on other cases and generally speaking, I hope you look into properties, buildings (residential or commercial), sheds, vacant/abandoned homes which might be associated occupationally with anyone in EA's immediate circle.

There.

Where's Catpatrol's cool map? :cat:

:lookingitup:

I had mentioned (strictly speculation / brainstorming based on stats / perp's state of mind from other cases) that Fairview, Princeton and McKinney (then Lucas IIRC) popped out to me on the map (based on the SRT/Custer RD NB last sighting).

Is there anything in EA's history to tie him to these areas where he might possibly be familiar and comfortable?
Anything that stands out to you locals about any of these areas?

Tia.

Well fairview is really just another name for Allen.
Mckinney has a ton of construction but I can't think of open spaces that wouldn't have anyone nearby he'd take her.
Princeton is more countryish and has more open areas but it's kind of a drive from plano.
Lucas I have never been to or heard of so I don't know.
I'd say the area LE is searching is likely as well as some spots off the tollway in Frisco. Lots of open space there. We don't know where he exited so it makes it tricky.

Yep......gotta go with the preponderance of evidence, even if circumstantial, until and if other evidence emerges.

Another thing about this area, I have seen ONE abandoned house here. It's a good thought. I just don't see many here!

Thank you.

And exactly, (about when/where he exited), we don't know. That's where the mindset of the perp as well as awareness spce comes in (comfortable with? familiar with?). If his motive was sexual, then IMO they usually do it right away / fast bc their sick hormones/adrenaline is rushing (can/will pull some stats for reference). Sometimes they go far away (Adrienne Salinas, 50sh miles out in the desert IIRC (motive/culprit unknown)...my guess here is a 20 minute drive based on stats, maybe more, maybe less. Could be toooootally wrong. I've been way off before, but also been pretty close (really close). Truth is, there just is no telling...what else are we supposed to do, though?

That's why we need to know about this guy's hobbies, past jobs, etc...Like I said, what he eats for breakfast (other than Whataburger :wink.

eta: and also what his allies and close associates eat for breakfast in case he might have had help. We just can't post about it here. It's sad that other people have to be dragged in, tragic for everyone involved. But she needs to be found, and often perps dispose on family property, etc. But that's LE's job, not ours (re: associates). JMO

I can't find the post now, but it was a few posts upthread about someone's mother who always sees the good in people and how it is laughable. I cant recall the whole post and not putting words in anyone's mouth, but it was something to that effect. Anyway, I tend to give the side-eye to many things so I wouldn't say that I believe everything I see. However, fwiw, the uncut interview did sway me in a strong way - to the extent that I am looking in other directions. I wish I had more to go on. Maybe the car evidence will come back or the phone pings, or IDK what; We don't have much new to hash and rehash. I'm new here but I already feel welcome and like one of the family. However, if I'm wrong - you guys are free to give me the slings and arrows and I will take it. ....Although I don't think I'm wrong or I wouldn't keep harping -- and btw apologies for the harping. I'm just so very frustrated. It's not EA (for me) so I'm delving and pondering. I wish we had some more info, but I already said that.

I would love for no one to have harmed Christina. Sadly I'm not sure that's the case. So Frisson if you don't think EA harmed her, what do you think happened to her? Or are you saying you don't have a theory other than EA didn't harm her?

I'll admit that when I saw the uncut interview I was thinking that if this was all I had to go on, I might believe him. All of the lies in the warrant, bite mark, limp, car damage, etc., outweigh any believability for me.

Also, the fact that it was near 4:00 am, I don't see her leaving the garage any other way but in his car. From there I'm a bit lost. Hoping for answers soon!

I asked upthread....do you think she left with EA?

 

[truetexan]

I do think the 4 days is crucial here. Things could have certainly been changed around and makes for more time to travel. Seems to me he would know that the searches would be near his home at some point. So why not go back and move her unless he either had help or placed her in a odd place first off. Maybe a dumpster, street gutter, under a bridge (guard rails here), construction site and places that. CM is small enough to push through a street gutter off the side of the road. These should be looked into probably with the dogs

There has to be a reason they're looking where they're looking..

I have been trying to focus on where to search for her. It just struck me that in the affidavit EA says he took legacy to central expressway and exited on Bethany. The toll records proved he traveled on the Sam Rayburn Tollway and passed the Custer Rd toll. It seems the PD search area was over near 75 (central expressway) and Bethany. I know they have stated they are not following any leads and just continuing where Texas Equisearch left off but I am curious why they go where he said he was even though they know he went a different route when leaving. Maybe he eventually wound up over there?

Also when I first found out he worked at the Sprint store in Wylie, I immediately thought of the road that runs directly behind that store. There are train tracks and what seems to be an abandoned storage unit. Some units look like they still have locks on them and some do not. Whenever I drive through there I just get an uneasy feeling like I cant wait to get to the main road.

Anyway my thought process was he had to be at work at 8am so maybe she was still in his vehicle until after he got off work that day and he drove back there. But then the search warrant affidavit came out and if he stopped at the Krogers before going to work and wiped his car clean plus when he was at work he was vacuuming his car then it seems logically if she was in his car he already dropped her off somewhere and was trying to get rid of any evidence. That and the fact he was 3 hours late to work gives plenty of unaccounted time.

BBM - Really? That's interesting. I'm wondering if he didn't turn where he was supposed to, Christina realizes he's taking her somewhere else, grabs the wheel and he slams into a concrete barrier. That would have caused right side damage if she pulled the steering wheel towards her. So if he was on the Sam Rayburn, where would he have had to turn off to get to her dad's house?
