Fuller timeline, context for May 2, 10, and 26.
April 22.
Travis blogs about how to have an amazing day. In this entry he mentions having to get his passport in order. He's going to Cancun. The killer reads his blog in her cramped bedroom at her grandparents' house, back in Yreka.
Her credit cards are maxed out, her car is due to be repossessed, tbe foreclosure on her house with Darryl has destroyed her credit for years to come, she owes thousands of dollars each to her grandparents, her parents, Darryl, and to Travis for the BWI she destroyed in a rage. She is unemployed.
April 23.
Travis buys a $1,500 professional camera, better than any she'd dreamed of being able to own herself though SHE was the photographer. Travis has often called upon her to take pics at PPL events. Now he doesn't have any need to AND he has a far superior camera.
April 26. The killer sends Travis a text with a link to check out..."paint your reality.com. ". She tells him- yes, this text is meant for you.
April 29.
The killer blogs about being amazing, and uses the same quote TA has already used in a blog entry ("our deepest fear isn't that we are inadequate.....")
Travis asks Mimi to go to Cancun and she says yes. Travis writes in his journal: "I'm happy."
April 29, 30. Travis is texting with multiple women at the same time, including CL and Maria. He's trying to convince CL to come spend the night. She's willing.
May 1. CL comes over to T's house. She arrives in the afternoon. They hook up.
May 1. At night. Texts between Travis and the killer. He says he's read her blog and teases her about plagiarizing from his blog. The killer is very not amused. She tries to draw him into sex talk, he declines.
May 2. Date the killer sent the 10 page rape fantasy to herself.
May 4. Killer blog. Says she stopped believing in the Law of Attraction 6 months earlier (but it still works anyway).
May 2-8. CL and Travis sent multiple messages to each other about having sex and enjoying each other. All of the texts disappear, are never received.
May 5. Travis posts the introduction to his book Raising You. He credits Katie Barnes for editing his work.
The killer texts Travis repeatedly, begging him to drop everything and come to Yreka that weekend. He says no.
(filling in mid-May later)
May 13. Travis writes in his journal that he has met some women online, says that online is not what he typically does, but that one woman in particular has "raised my eyebrows so much that it almost seems too good to be true." "She's so pretty its hard to swallow." He mentions they have "spoken."
He ends with..."its better to trust too much than too little. So the plot thickens on the blind race to the altar."
(Anyone else thinking.....paint your reality.com? The killer baiting him? Travis doesn't mention this mysterious woman again, BTW).
