Don't kill me for putting forward a different thought. I know it seems obvious that the ex was involved in this. But there is this little niggling in my brain about this, and it keeps getting bigger, every time I read a new article. Please bear with me, as I am just writing my thoughts, and they may not be in order of date or whatever.
Here is the BF... who, reportedly had been going out with SW for 2 years. SW had moved in with him quickly. Then she suddenly up and left, reportedly without notice, and took her kids and went to live with her ex.
The 2 were separated for maybe 3 months.. May - August?
SW's employer says he met both the BF plus another of SW's apparent love interests in August.
In other articles, it said that the *reason* that SW and her BF had split up was *because* she had gone to live with her ex.
Different people have expressed that they thought SW had a new love interest, that she wanted to marry him. A 'new' love interest - would that be someone she'd been with for two years? I don't think so??
It is said in an article that her BF has spoken with all of SW's clients... how on earth would he know who her clients were and how to contact them?? Usually in such a service providing business, clients are confidential information!
The BF tells that he and SW had plans to get married. But yet there seems to be nobody to corroborate that... other than there seem to be people who do say she had a 'new' love who she wanted to marry.
We hear about a Turkish type of younger man.. from more than one source - SW's father I believe, and someone else.... but then her BF says no, that was the BF of SW's friend, and he was merely fixing her house. But yet we don't hear from SW's friend that this is the case.
SW gets a new job offer, which she was reportedly excited about, just before she went missing. I can't remember whereabouts the job was located.
The BF lives a distance away from where SW has been living with her ex.. did I read 90 minutes away??
And reportedly, (according to the BF in the most recent article I believe, which was posted just above)..... when SW had left him back in the summer, she had done so, so that her kids would be closer to her ex, and have more involvement, etc.
But yet... the two were to become married..... but where would they live? He says they had not discussed this yet??? I would think that would be a major issue. Does the BF also own his own flat? If so, would he even consider moving to where SW lived? Obviously SW must have had intention to remain living in that home, since it has been reported that she received a mortgage to buy out her ex.
A little early, when I first started following this case - I read that her BF was 'wealthy'.
Now the BF (same article as posted above, mentioned earlier in my post) tells us that SW was wearing her mother's engagement ring, until they could afford the one they really wanted.

Okay, so my point in all of this is................ is there any proof that the BF was in fact SW's BF??
Her BF was the one who was first to notice/realize/be concerned about her not responding to her phone, and subsequently brought it to the attention of SW's older sons, and etc. .. going thru a list I suppose, until finally telling the ex, at which time, the ex reportedly informed police... but, again in a more recent article, it says police were not contacted for a couple of days??

Police, in order to get the contents of text messages and such from the BF's phone, he would have had to have been willing to surrender it to police, and they would have made a copy.. they'd be able to see everything, even probably those that had been deleted. They'd be able to verify any details the BF told about. I doubt if police would have been able to get a warrant to seize it, because there is no reason for a judge to issue a warrant. I'm not sure what the BF does for a living, but would he have been willing to give up his phone so it could be copied?
--
Have any of SW's friends ever mentioned to police or media... anything at all to indicate that yes, they were aware that SW was madly in love with her beau of two years, whom she'd got back together with after moving out?
Her father said he wasn't aware they'd gotten back together... so he must have been aware of it in the first place, long ago... so if SW told HIM that she had a new love interest, why would she call it 'new', when he was fully aware for the past 2 years, about the BF?
But then it is also said that the father hadn't spoken to her for months... but maybe when they did speak, it was around the same time..... Sorry, maybe it was the uncle I'm thinking about.
--
Anyway, after all of these little niggles.. my mind started to wander.. to wonder if it wasn't possible that the BF came unexpectedly to pick SW up after talking to her on the phone... and just said.. something like.. let's do something wild.. just come as you are, don't even bring your purse, and we'll just go take a drive or something.. and she only brought her phone.

Where this all falls apart, is when we know the cameras were 'turned off that night'.. but... how do we know they hadn't been turned off for perhaps several nights, or a week or a month or several months? It has never been said about how long the cameras had been turned off.

Just random wild thoughts..
