I am been on this forum for some time and I have read every possible scenario regarding how Arias murdered Travis, why she did it, the 20 different background stories..Blah, Blah, Blah. What my opinion of the matter is she was a woman that had NO identity, she never matured after age 16-17 when she moved out & began living with Bobby. For that; her lack of maturity, I blame the parents 100%. It is a parents responsibility to make sure their child has the proper care they need whether that is mental or physical health care. AS well as the parents responsibility to discipline their children. Neither of which the parents of Arias did. They allowed her to do whatever she wanted and get away with it rather than to deal with her. For the parents it was easier to just let her go than to treat her, treating her would have taken work, time, expenses etc. I know how this is as our 16 yr. old was failing badly at school, it was our responsibility to get him help and we did and now he is making Honor Roll, star football player that is getting Division 1 offers from major colleges to play football. Had we let him go, he would have flunked out and had far worse problems.
As Arias got older, she remained isolated from her family, thus feeding the disease even more. the only way she could function was to be in relationships with men and assume the role of whatever kind of woman they liked or had previously been with. I agree, there is something up with Darryl, he is hiding something. He knows way more than what he is telling and I can't believe Martinez didn't call him out on the DVD player and the trade for the gas cans. He is definitely hiding something.
As far as Travis knowing Arias was coming to his house on the 4th, I don't believe he knew she was coming. I think she just showed up there and I haven't seen the text messages from the 4th to know whether he actually knew she was indeed coming or not, has anyone else seen them? Also, I think Arias came BACK into the bathroom..I think Travis went upstairs to shower and she was in the Den still on the computer. She then goes upstairs after he is in the shower with HIS camera, leaving the camera bag near the outside of the bedroom doors. She remained in the Den so she could go BACK out to the car to get the gun and the knife. Arias had PLAN A and PLAN B. PLAN A was to seduce Travis into taking her to Cancun, thus the purchases for sunscreen, the bikini wax, the nails being done etc. When Travis would NOT agree to take her, she resorted to PLAN B. Arias KNEW or thought she knew that Travis had found Mimi and was pursuing her, she didn't know though that MIMI wasn't interested in Travis at all, that is why in the interrogation Tapes she states this VERY point. I am just perplexed though as to why Travis din't fight harder for his life, I can only assume that he was indeed shot first and was in so much shock he couldn't fight back. The trajectory of the bullet, the course of events and the fact Arias kept saying in the interviews...'Travis was STILL alive" over and over, makes me think her initial shot didn't do the job as she had planned and that is why she had to resort to using the knife, thus the horrific scene and Arias's complete mash up of the crime scene. She was in a hurry to get out of there because she KNEW the roommates schedule and had to get out of dodge ASAP, resulting in the camera hastily being tossed in the washer and the mess of the crime scene. She didn't have time to clean up like she had planned. that is why she had the bottled in her trunk, she planned for that water to be there for clean up measures. I also think she had a spot preplanned to toss the gun and the knife. If this TRULY was a premeditated crime, then she thought out every step, including where she dumped the weapons. I am trying to figure out through places her and Travis went, or places she mentioned before anywhere near the Hoover Dam she could have dumped them. Anyone remember locations previously mentioned or visited?
Anyway, I have been wanting to get this off my chest and see what you all thought. Thanks for letting me vent!
lease: please forgive me.
