It seems after killing, disposing, & burying evidence AW loitered around the area for hours, before marching on. Maybe he felt it too risky to walk in the dark, afraid LE might stop to see what he was up to. Especially since he was intoxicated.
Maybe he smoked some pot or had another beer.
It’d be interesting to know if the homeowner where LWas recovered was away for the weekend.
The water on his pants must be from weeds or he walked thru a puddle or took his pants down to use the bathroom (yuk) cuz he sure didn’t wash his hands. Guess he forgot he could have used the restroom at the gas station.
