Or, she could have met someone from the west side at Snoqualmie Pass, say someone from Tacoma... MOO
The theories that she went to CB of her own accord, and things proceeded at CB gives a very small window to accomplish many of the rumors, drop her car off at PC, and roll in for a haircut at 6pm. Wouldn't anyone have noticed her car at CB? All this would be taking place during daylight hours as, according to NOAA sunrise/sunset for Lat/Long of Wenatchee, sunset would have been 5:16 pm on Feb. 9th. It just doesn't make sense.
What follows is a contrived
THEORY:
I believe MC removed her debit card from her purse when she purchased coffee and placed the card in her coat pocket afterward and drove to either the boat dock or someplace nearby for some quiet coffee time. Her cell phone also was in her pocket.
MC then went to Target to meet her BF just after their texting; the 'hey' msg from the BF was a, "hey, where are you I'm waiting for you" tag, and MC's was a "hey I'm on my way" reply.
Once at Target MC started into the store then saw someone (some other 'bf' or more likely a bf-wanna-be) there she did not want to encounter. She left the store but the person she wanted to avoid caught up with her and convinced her to talk over some things because MC had told him previously that she no longer wanted to see him.
MC felt uncomfortable talking in the Target lot so they agreed to talk somewhere else. They left her vehicle at the lot and she and the killer drove in his vehicle, with no particular destination in mind. MC placed her keys in her coat pocket.
The killer drove across the Stevens St. bridge and headed south. During the drive the killer pulled over after a few miles and they settled in the car and talked.
At some point the killer made a move on MC but she refused and they struggled. During the confrontation MC screamed and the killer grabbed her throat to quiet her. Her fighting back and refusing his continued advancing enraged the killer to become more forceful at which time he banged her head against the vehicle door pillar or window ledge. The blow was quite significant and caused MC to pass out from concussion.
The killer then in a panic state started driving again and continued south. While they approached the Crescent Bar property, MC began to stir. The killer pulled in to the CB property driveway but did not pull up close to the house because he was not aware it was there or was not aware it was vacant. He stopped on the curve in the driveway.
MC awakened but the impact caused a concussion and she did not clearly remember what happened at that point but realized she was in some sort of danger after the killer began talking to her again. That refreshed her memory as to what occurred.
MC escaped the vehicle and began to run away but she was still dizzy from the concussion and unable to move quickly. The killer exited the vehicle and began chasing her. In her confusion, MC ran down-slope on the property with the killer immediately behind. They ended up near the duck blind and they struggled.
The struggle was brief as the killer overpowered MC and strangled her. Being unsure of whether MC was alive or dead the killer pulled the knife he always carried and stabbed MC in the throat to ensure she could no longer scream and to cause her death.
The killer took MC's phone, debit card and keys from her coat pocket to make it look like a robbery. He turned off the phone because it either rang or he was aware of cell phone locating.
The killer tried to use the stream water to wash off the splattered blood from the stabbing but the sky became busy with helicopters that were being used in the search for the missing snowmobiler.
The killer wanted to hide quickly and ran towards his vehicle but realized he might transfer blood to his vehicle. He looked around and noticed the house was empty and broke in to the house to wash up.
He returned to his vehicle and drove back to Wenatchee. He knew he was seen at Target but he believed no one saw him there with MC. To be sure, he wanted to make it appear as if MC was never there that day. He exited his vehicle and entered MC's vehicle and drove it in the opposite direction from where he killed MC.
The killer abandoned MC's car up Pitcher Canyon Road and walked back to Wenatchee and returned to his vehicle.
Remember: that is a
THEORY ... 'moo' applies!
