TBH,,,, I don't think she lost her keys at all. I think she was frustrated with getting no response and tried to get his attention and then said never mind. Like with the "good rock" text, IMO an attempt to get his attention from EA looking to score a buy.
Maybe in fact she hoped to go with EA thinking that he (of all people) just might get in touch with HF.
It's so hard to say, really. I know that some people on here probably want to punch their computer every time they see a post about the keys, but for those of us who have been here since Day 1 (or 4, I guess we should say) the keys have been speculated on in a bunch of different ways, and for a lot of reasons.
I've looked but can't find the interview where Jonni talked about the keys. It may have been the WS radio show??? Does anyone recall?
Anyway, in that interview, she stated that Christina had lost her keys and then found them again and that "people who were there that night" were playing tricks on her and hiding her keys from her. This led a few of us to question who and why. Now I know that Jonni may have been misinformed and obviously she was going on hearsay, but since she said it, let's go with it.
Were her friends hiding her keys to be funny/annoying?
Were they trying to force her to stay overnight? It was stated that she was going to stay, then changed her mind and want to get home due to the issues she was having with HF. If she "lost" her keys, would she have to stay over in Plano, and then they would "turn up" the next day when the friends felt things had cooled down?
Did EA hide her keys thinking that her could offer her a lift either all the way to Ft. Worth or at least to her dad's house in Allen?
Yes, I know the whole point is to find Christina but if this whole missing key episode happened, maybe it had something to do with how/why she left the garage with EA. Was she forced or did she go willingly? On the walk, in the last moments that we do not see on CCTV, did she check her bag and find her keys missing? Were they actually in EA's pocket? Did he offer to drive her to her dad's? on the way did he suggest they pull off and do a hit or two of something? There was some time between when he left the garage and then doubled back. Did they pull off to party and then he got handsy? Did she realize he had taken her keys and then get pissed off and grab the wheel while he was still driving? Did she somehow get hurt and he freaked out, threw her in the trunk, and then thought he could dump her back at The Shops? Did he get another call on the phone (which he later wiped clean) and did Christina then say, "Never mind about taking me to my dad's just bring me to so-and-so since they just called you and I'll find my keys tomorrow." and EA got pissed because he was hoping to get lucky.
