I am pretty sure the coon hunt ended days before HB abduction, but there is nothing to believe it didn't add to the suspect pool.
I think it is IMPORTANT to note that HB didn't attend classes everyday (I believe Wednesday is the first day of the week she goes, it is hard to source some of the finer points of this case so maybe somebody else remembers a link), so that would be one of the days she would leave for school around 7:35~.
In regards to the timeline, it is the only one we have to work with, but I think there is a STRONG chance that the timeline is false in some way.
I couldn't find the link I was looking for yet, if it still exists it is probably on youtube somewhere, so maybe someone else remembers/can find the link (I think this was actually said on a news clip on day one, it is one of the very first media reports involving LE), but the sheriff stated that the first 911 call came in before 7:30 AM (he specifically said 7:27 or 7:29, that is quite specific for a rounded off time) and almost every article you will find online from the first day references the events unfolding around 7:30AM (even the first threads on this site).
If LE didn't get to the scene until after 8AM, then why is there talk about 7:30?????? According to the given timeline, at 7:30AM HB is in the middle of a flurry of calls regarding the mistaken identity of her boyfriend hunting on the other side of the county.
We have been told there were 4 calls to 911. I am trying to sleuth the timeline and in doing so means looking at people's actions, so don't think of this as bashing as much as staring into an abyss of confusion. KB claims to have made 2 of them, CB claims he was dialing 911 as he heard LE arriving at his home and there have been reports that the neighbor called KB or called 911 or both. The only thing I can tell from that is not one of these four 911 calls makes sense in the way it has been told.
KB calls and gets the wrong county, so she calls 911 again to another county. The original 911 dispatcher couldn't/wouldn't connect her to the proper line? (was one of these calls a directly to the sheriff office?) CB dials (talks to a person?) 911 as LE is arriving and it is assumed that KB calls 911 before CB tries, but if so then KB has already called 911 (1 or 2 times) and tells CB to then call 911. I can think of scenarios where this all could happen.
It is interesting to note the eyewitness reaction is the opposite of his mothers, who is being given info second hand and the other oddity is when KB is making calls to 911, what exactly was CB doing? KB couldn't have known HB had left towards the woods until CB had told her and we know CB talked to KB before and after that.
We also know that LE arrives within 10 minutes of HB heading to the woods, but the x factor in all of this is the neighbor and the fourth 911 call.
Who - son or mother?
When - was 911 called? Where - was the son and/or mother when the scream happen and when 911 was called.
How - was 911 called, cell or land line?
What - sequence of events led to either the son hearing a scream, telling his mother, calling 911 and then driving away, or the mother being told about a scream, calling KB, calling 911 and then going over to the home (how many of you would decide that after hearing screams that eventually warranted a call to 911 would then go over to your neighbor's house in the middle of a possible abduction with an unknown assailant? That is very gutsy for an older woman).
Why - was 911 called by the neighbor in the first place?
I think a few of us wonder where that fourth 911 call comes from. If KB and the neighbor called 911 before CB did (it has never been confirmed he talked to 911, only dialed), then what in the world was happening at that house??? How the neighbor and that fourth call fit together is about as convoluted as the rest of the story is.
If the neighbor first called 911 about the screams, then LE took a very long time to get there. If the neighbor called 911 in response to talking with KB, then it had to happen AFTER CB witnessed HB walking away and BEFORE going to the home as CB is dialing 911 (meaning that KB communicated with both the neighbor and CB and the neighbor called 911 before CB did).
The dragging comments were probably not the only part of the story that was drastically revised and at this point, would anyone here be surprised to find out parts of this story are completely fabricated? I know I wouldn't be.
