During interrogation with Flores, CMJA lied about knowing about Lisa amongst many other things. While Deanna was still living in AZ, and Travis was away, he would ask her to feed Naps. Deanna came in to find CMJA in Travis' office on the computer and baking cookies. All without permission to enter the home. Awkward. Anytime Travis would communicate with a new female, CMJA would immediately friend her on MySpace. As we all know, CMJA invaded Travis' privacy constantly, hacking into all his accounts, following him, texting from his phone etc.
Gus Searcy is discussed. During the trial, when asked if he had an attorney available and he replied not at that hour, he put a black eye on PPL. PPL advertises that one has access to an attorney 24/7... When Travis' tires were slashed, CMJA claimed to be in Vegas with Gus... While CMJA was with Gus, she texted Travis constantly without replies and testified that someone had erased Travis' replies. There were none. CMJA was not on Gus' team, yet had a lot of communication with him...
Before January 2008, Travis had asked CMJA to move back to CA. After this date, he was begging her to move back. His business was suffering and she was interfering with his relationship with Lisa. They broke up again. Travis was extremely depressed after this.
The Hughes and Travis earned an all expense paid trip to Cancun. Travis informed the Hughes he was going to take CMJA and the Hughes weren't happy. A couple of months before the trip, Travis contacted the trip coordinator to see if he could remove CMJA from the plane ticket. Fortunately, the tickets had not been issued, so Travis was free to invite whomever he wanted. The Hughes were "ecstatic".
At the end of March 2008, Sky invited Travis to their home for an extended period of time as they were worried about him. He told them that CMJA was moving back to CA. He knew he had messed up badly with Lisa and was "morbidly sad". He tried to think of ways to get her back, but to no avail. He then met Mimi, who was very smart, well educated and came from a very successfuland talented family. Travis felt he had to impress her and them, mainly due to his lack of college education.
He asked Mimi to go rock climbing, which he had never done. The day before the date, He watched how to rock climb on You Tube, then went to the gym and climbed up and down the rock wall until he was confident he could do it. The day of his date, he called Sky in a panic because he was so sore he could barely move or lift his arms. Sky suggested he postpone the date, but he wanted to go.
Apparently, Mimi scaled the rock wall with ease while Travis was in so much pain he could barely do it. He regaled the Hughes with a blow by blow description that had them in tears from laughing so hard. He was too embarrassed to tell Mimi the story behind his failure at rock climbing. He really wanted to impress Mimi and make his life right by confessing to the LDS church about his sexcapades which might cost him that relationship.
He had to go before the disciplinary council this time as he had already confessed to his Bishop once before. Mimi Hall's father sat on that disciplinary council along with others. Although confidential, Travis felt that once the council and Mimi's dad heard his confession, he would not want his daughter to date him. His privileges to attend the Mormon Temple were revoked and Travis was working really hard to get his life back on track.
Travis decided to invite Mimi on the trip to Cancun as a friend, but was very unsure on how to ask her. He debated over and over with the Hughes on how to proceed to avoid rejection. The Hughes offered him a way to pay them back the money he owed them by his sharing a room with Sky's brother and having Mimi share a room with the Hughes' babysitter. Mimi initially declined, but was convinced it was just as a friend so she eventually accepted.
Sky imagined that being uninvited to Cancun was a huge blow to CMJA. Sky continued to worry about Travis and kept inviting him to her home. Travis insisted he was fine, but was still kinda sad about ruining things with Lisa although He was ecstatic that CMJA was gone. This was basically around the time when Sky, Regan and Taylor all got similar texts from him "wanting to blow his head off".
