First, I am SO glad the landfill search is finally starting.
Jupiter said that a poster on another site said the fight with ZO was because LS was talking loudly at Kilroy's Sports about everything she had taken that night.
Someone must have texted ZO from the bar. Perhaps someone texted him to let him know that CR and LS were headed to SW. Or he was already there. He was angry about the bar talk and was planning to confront CR and LS.
I looked up the origin of "a friend of JW's" punched CR because CR was being inappropriate. MSM reported that "a witness" said that. Most likely, the "witness" was a friend of ZO trying to mislead LE and others about the true reason for the punch.
So why would ZO be upset that LS is saying what she took? Is he afraid that someone will ask LS or CR who supplied those items?
I have looked on Facebook and cannot find any connection between CR, JW, JR, DR, LS, and MB to ZO, BB and AB. So perhaps the connection is a business one.
On the morning after, I agree with phantomthought that HT probably thought LS was with CR. That explains the early MSM reports that CR was the last person with LS.
It also partially explains why HT was so upset with CR (we just met him, we don't really know him) and why she was so supportive of JW (we've known him for a long time, he is a good guy, he loves LS).
Also, if HT knew the reason for the SW fight, she would have known that LS had been talking about what she had taken that night. She was most likely upset with CR for perhaps encouraging LS or just being with her doing all that stuff. (And it could explain HT's statement: "LS liked to party, she just went too far this time.")
My guess is that HT and others knew about the altercation, and possibly the true reason for it, early on. She would also, most likely, have known that LS left SW with CR.
And, that belief, that CR was the last person with LS or the fact that she listed what she had taken that night, could explain the tiff at 5 North when JW allegedly confronted CR shortly after LS disappeared. JW, by that time, most likely knew about the fight at SW and the reason for it.
I think as soon as JW called HT asking about LS and wanting her keys HT was thinking LS was with CR and she was on the phone trying to get a hold of her and she called JR before she ever gave the keys to JW.
So, perhaps, HT did call JR or DR to see if they knew how to reach CR. (Since HT had just met CR and seems to not like him, she probably did not have his number in her phone.)
My question is, when did HT talk to JR? It seems that MSM reports for the first couple of days said CR was the last known person with LS.
It seems to me that HT must have talked to either CR or MB before she talked to JR and one of them said that LS went to JR's. The reason I say this is that no one wants to be the last person to see a missing person.
If HT talked to JR first, why wouldn't he have just said, I didn't see her after she was with CR.
Now the question becomes, does JR know what happened to LS?
