And that's another reason this blows.
I was initially leaning toward the story version of > it was Morgan's car to JMU -- where they picked up the third party (Sarah?) and changed cars for the rest of the dirve to the arena in C'ville.
That would explain what LE said in that one (literally one?) presser the other day which was something to the effect of (paraphrased) "Morgan's car has nothing to do with the disappearance." He phrased it in an odd way; but I reacall thinking that the only way to construe that remark and have it make any sense, would be if the car were somewhere else away from the area where she was last supposed to have been seen.
His overly cryptic, imo, wording of her condition was unsettling. "She was able to move about freely and converse." WTH????
Another oddity for me was: "The friends are moving on with their lives." WHO SAYS THAT ON DAY 4???? It seemed so random and WEIRD. I'll assume the remark has a purpose about which we are unaware, which is fine - still odd tho.
I wish the friends were doing the news show circuit; But I cant blame them for not doing it, I wouldnt either. I"d be too devastated and unable to communicate anything coherent on TV. So I get that. But I'd love to HEAR their account of the evening.
We've also not been privy to the even seemingly innocuous things that are significant to me even if they're small tidbits in the grand scheme of things. (And if anyone knows please post it?) Maybe I missed it, but I've tried to read all the pages. I may have missed reading some links in their entirety tho.
Below are things I'd like to know; Things that seem like info that would be insignificant enough and OK to reveal. Iow I understand if LE wants to hold back, but some things seem OK to maybe share imo - if not now then later, such as:
(1) How did she have her hair that night?
Does she generally keep it down if she starts the evening with it down? Or is it her habit, generally to pin it up? Also mystery blond in ONE of the several youtubes, seemed to have a top-knot like thing... like a pony tail, but not really... on the top of her head with the rest of the hair down. I didn't say that well
(2) What style of purse did she carry that night?
Did she have a shoulder strap purse or the other kind that you have to grip your hand around?
(3) What style phone did she have?
There are models with the SIM card and those other kinds where the phone contents, info are tied in with the battery. (Did I say that right?)
The photos, texts, phoe numbers adn call log would be huge for LE - you'd think. But we're day 10 right? and we have heard very little which is disturbing; but LE has to do what LE has to do.
Is there evidence of a text regarding Morgan's pivotal statement to the friend when she wwas barred re-entry of, "I'll get a ride OR i'll meet you at the car later."[/b]
That is crucial. Also, for you techy nerds (nerd as a term of endearment of course) can deleted texts be recovered? What if the battery is gone? Just get another one right?
Additionally, what do you guys think about the noise level for talking and hearing on a cell phone in that situation? My point here is... if texting is an option (and we know it was right?) why would a person try to speak in that environment? If the friends are saying that Morgan's statement was SPOKEN, I tend to lean toward not believing that it was even said at all. (sorry) They could probably deduce if calls were placed, but not what was said.
I'd think the friends feel bad and probably want to provide her parents with some feelings of consolation and in the process make things seem less... what's the word...
(Im just not sure how much I'm believing) Sorry to sound harsh, but some people even very good longtime friends have been known to do unusual (and at times deceitful) deeds when certain things are on the line. Maybe later things will come out and it all will make sense and I'll have to eat my words. I hope so.
(4) Did she take a coat?
If so what color/kind? Did she take it IN to the arena or leave it in the car? The mom didn't describe her as taking one. That's kind of important imo.
(5) Was she wearing any large distinctive accessories?
Like those popular wrist band-like bracelets, etc. Which hand?
(6) What was sold at the arena?
Did THEY sell the wrist bands? And were there a gazillion types of souvenir tshirts sold or just a handful of choices?
(7) Does Morgan drink? And for the locals - or anyone who knows - do they sell alcohol at JPJ arena?
If so, what? beer wine? And are they generally picky about carding folks?
(8) Where were their seats?
I believe this was posted here, but I cant find it.
(9) Who went with her to the concert?
That seems simple enough, but i've read conflicting things such as > sarah, amy, morgan... I've read > sarah, amy, morgan and sarah's BF... I've heard > SIX of "the nine" went -- which is it? sheesh. It does make a difference for the dynamics of the evening imo.
(10) Have any photos of the friends (who went to the concert) been posted anywhere in public?
Im just curious to see who all went that night.
(11) Did the friend say whether she ASKED Morgan why the heck - what possessed her to go outside?
That seems crucial to me and so, so obvious (to me).. if a message were exchanged at all, that is. (Iow, if the friend is telling the truth about the message in the first place.)
(12) Where were they parked?
Is there a shuttle? Did they use it? Did they leave coats in the car and make a dash thru the cold?
(13) Has the brother said who Morgan may have known, if anyone, at UVa?
Whoever she knew she likely met thru the brother ?
(14) Were there any RVs there that night?
That seems pretty straight forward info to me, but IDK. And what's the policy for how long an RV can park there?
(15) Locals or anyone - are there dorms and apts right there? close? like walking close? or need-to-get-in-a-car close? ?
If she were barred re-entry, no coat, cold, dark, rainy, no one took her the car keys to wait it out in the car. (That still perplexes me) where could she have likely been tempted to go to escape the cold and the boredom? - or where could she have been invited to go (lured?) to get out of the cold and the boredom?
Is she the adventurous trusting type of personality who would likely go with a friendly looking stranger? Or is she the leery, cautious type? (If the latter, then someone would have to have forcibly removed her with a struggle? which can cause unwanted attn and risk for the perp depending on the area)
You know what I mean? Like I have this friend (and I agree) who says that they'd have to chloroform her or shoot her in the back as she's escaping b/c she is NOT going to any second location, by choice, for any reason, with anyone... period.
It's hard to envison her getting snatched RIGHT THERE from what people have described about the place - at least not w/o someone seeing something. That sort of suggests to me that she may have left willingly and didnt' feel threatened til it was too late; and at the second more ominous location, (vehicle > van, truck, RV, car) or dorm, apt?) it seems more likely in the second location that there'd be fewer or no one else around to hear/see her needing help. Additoinally, there are some ominous looking woods not far away too - (it looks like) - right?
Sorry for the gasbag post.
