Don't know exactly what I may have misread or misunderstood. As I noted earlier, and as I noted when I first mentioned that (apparent non-)fact, "HF was out of town" was what I had understood to be the consensus knowledge (and I noted at multiple places that my thoughts about HF's silence were based on his whereabouts "if I understand correctly"). But I don't know where I got that (apparent mis-)perception, and was not intending to offer anything new or different to the discussion. If I was mistaken in my understanding (and it appears I was), my apologies to all.
So back to the topic with better info ...
Assuming that HF was NOT out of town, then it's beyond odd that he wouldn't have noticed. I have to believe LE had lots of pointed questions on how she could be missing from Sat morn to Tue eve without him wondering and raising any alarm. And then, he only began to wonder when CM's boss contacted him as emergency contact? That explains why they took forensics on HF's phone, to be able to ascertain who he was in contact with. The DNA puts her in EA's trunk, EA was hiding his actions and erasing his phone data while HF was not, and the phone forensics on HF's phone apparently ruled out some sort of something where HF and EA were in contact and possibly planned something nefarious. But he's an incredibly low-caliber bf, it seems like, to not even be concerned by her absence.
At some point in the beginning, the info was that Hunter had been in Dallas that night but then later it was said he was home asleep. I don't think LE has ever said anything about his whereabouts but a VI did so the sleeping story was most often thought to be correct.
Sadder yet, it wasn't even HF that was listed as C's emergency contact. It was a female friend, who then contacted her parents, who THEN contacted Hunter and asked where she was. There appears to be at least 5 people who knew Christina was missing before he did.
I think it was a perfect storm of events that led to no one noticing. HF was a selfish jerk; my guess is that he was thinking "fine, if she doesn't answer I'm not chasing her". He did try calling her from what VI's said, but clearly wasn't too distressed that he didn't reach her.
Her Mom knew she had plans with friends and was working part of the weekend, so she didn't expect to hear from her. Other friends may have texted but assumed she was busy when she didn't answer. I forget to reply to texts sometimes.
So at nearly 4 am Sat, she's last seen, on camera. 20 more hours pass on Saturday...then all Sunday and all Monday. I don't know what time the boss called her parents - 2 pm is in my mind but I'm not sure. They start trying to locate her and around 11 pm is when the report was filed.
Unfortunately I don't think reporting it sooner would have changed much, if anything. What do you all think? I think EA assumed HF would notice she didn't make it home and start looking for her early Saturday so I think he got rid of as much evidence as possible before 10:15 when he's seen getting gas.
