brummster, for some reason I keep reading your user name as 'bumster'!
You and I are two peas in a pod. I agree with most of what you are saying.
We are thinking along the same lines, except that I promised myself two days ago to come up with a new scenario when I decided to believe LE's judgment that GR was only a suspect; however after 48 hrs I have still been unable to come up with one.
Although I gave the 'stranger' theory some thought, I've ruled it out, due to what TY said last night: ''We know what Jo would do, and how she would react in different situations. This, we believe, is our major contribution.'' To me that means that she would've taken precautions not to get into a car with a stranger, nor to open a door to one. The police have never used the word 'abduction' either.
Also what we know from last night's appeal is that ''something apparently insignificant could trigger the killer to kill again'' from which I glean that it was something
insignificant that caused the killer to strangle JY, thereby eliminating premeditation and planning. It was something that happened quickly, got out of control, and lead to murder. What 'pissed off' (pardon my vulgarity) the perp?
From today's news we learn that JY never ate the pizza. I think that's
the significant fact, not that it's gone missing. Not too
sure about its significance, but I'll keep pondering it.
Still I have questions:
If strangulation was caused by the sock as LE is telling us might be possible, then wouldn't there be ligature marks on the victim?
&
If the perp took the sock off JY's foot, there would've been a struggle and there's no evidence of that either, so I'm still wondering:how did the perp get it in his hands?
(CJ ain't gonna put someone's dirty sock in his hand. Not in a million years.)
