Keep in mind, though, that was referring to "Kathy." We don't know for sure if she was, in fact, WCJD.
Good point.
I am doubting that she intended to visit Ellis unit prison. The victim appeared to not only lack knowledge of its general location, but also general knowledge of how to visit some one there. There are many explanations for the apparent inconsistency ( learning disability, non disabled person prone to do things on impulse, left home in a hurry etc.).
Despite these possibilities, had she been in contact with the person she intended to visit, I think he would have ensured that she had very good information on visiting as many prisoners like visits, especially from young ladies.
Likewise, had she had contact with even friends or family, she would probably would have known in general terms that prisons have visitation days and procedures. She lacked basic knowledge, not a mere unawareness of say, the "
no fish net pantyhose rule".
I wonder if Ellis unit was not her intended destination. Was there perhaps a rural night club near Ellis unit that she was too young to get into, thus told a lie about her destination to avoid unwanted questions? Or, was she visiting a local that lived near the prison and did not want to reveal information about him?
In the end, we will never know. I do, however, think that if she were going to Ellis, the conversation would have been:
"I am visiting Ellis tomorrow morning. Do you know where I can spend the night?"
