I would like to get your opinions on the motel sighting. If our witness is credible, it means FCA was at least there from Thursday the 28th thru Sunday the 31st.
Why are there no pictures at the motel? Is it a factual story? Were they trying to do her a favor and not expose her home base? It would have been very easy to sit in a parked car there and take photos/film.
Let me give a new theory and try it on for size:
1. Someone with knowledge of FCA staying at the motel decides to get photos taken and sell them. We don't yet know who this person is. For starters, let's use Cheney Mason. Let's just picture him bitter over getting little money out of this, he's retiring so the promotion doesn't do him much good, and he decides to secretly get his rightful share. However, he doesn't feel right about exposing where she lives, so those photos are omitted from the sale. Note in this theory, CM has gone rogue and is doing this on his own. Baez isn't aware of this. Let's say CM decides this after an argument on July 27th with Baez.
2. CM picks up his cell phone, calls his loyal PI firm, and tells them to quietly stake the place out and obtain footage. Three private investigators are sent to Columbus, and the photos/videos are taken over the next 3 days - the 29th, 30th and 31st. On the 29th she is wearing the black shirt, on the 30th she is wearing the white shirt, and on the 31st she is wearing the grey shirt.
3. By this time, Casey has been in town for 10 days. She has partied, met men, gotten laid, made new friends and now has a boyfriend. She is feeling bold in her travels. She just got out of jail and has a new lease on life. She just got away with murder, and she feels invincible. She absorbs the attention like a sponge.
4. On the 29th, we see Casey in the black shirt approaching her boyfriend's house on Glenmawr. It's only a 3 mile walk from the motel, and it's nothing to Casey after being in a jail cell for so long. She silences her phone as she approaches, and the film cuts. We then also see her leaving the house with the cell phone put away in her jeans.
5. On the 30th, we see Casey in the white shirt approaching her boyfriend's house with a Starbucks, but she spots one of the private investigators as she is approaching the turn, and so reverses course. She crosses the street and heads back the other way. She spots that private investigator up the street as well, and their cover is blown. She is onto them.
6. On the 31st, she checks out of the motel for fear of being followed. They see her going to the shopping mall, and film her at Old Navy. She sees them there too and escapes.
7. Casey checks into a new motel. She managed to avoid being followed in that journey and her whereabouts are currently unknown to the private investigators. The information on the new motel is kept strictly confidential and Baez does not risk telling anyone.
8. CM gets the photos/videos and tries to have them edited to not revealing her location (but fails to realize that websleuths will crack it anyway.) He then has them sold to splashnews by a family member.
9. Casey, despite the scare of being followed and now exposed to the world as living in Columbus, has made new friends and lovers which she doesn't want to leave behind. She is feeling a cocky, f them mentality, and says to hell with it, she's staying in Columbus!
And here we are.
Just a theory.
