I'd been out of touch for a while, but man, all the new information is so confusing.
I do want to know what happened to the party that was supposed to have been at AL house. I know AL is a liar, but there's always some small truth within a lie, right? In his statement to the news, he'd said that they were at his house and IR or whomever was the one who texted AD.
Maybe while in the car after AL picked AD up, AL asked AD who her mom thought she was with and AD said IR, which is how his name got dragged into it.
It seemed to me like he was really having a party at his house. The neighbor had said he'd seen people there, including AD, and they'd sent their kids to stay with someone else. So why do that unless you're having a party or something?
My scenerio:
There's a party or supposed to be one. AL goes to pick her up for the party and takes her to his house. It only takes 3 minutes, so they could have gotten there around 11:10. But there's not really a party happening. I'd like to know more about her texts in this between 11 and 11:20 because it sounds like someone might have been asking her how she'd get a ride somewhere else. Maybe she'd been texting and her friends did want her to go to some other party and she said she'd go, but she didn't know how she'd get a ride there. Maybe she asked AL to take her and he got a little peeved and that's why she told the person she doesn't know how she'll get there.
That's of course total speculation until we can know what those texts were about.
But I see her getting tired or annoyed that there was no party going on at his house. Maybe a couple dudes could have been there partying with EB, which was why she didn't give a damn about what AL was doing. She proabably could have "thought" he changed clothes, because she was drunk or something.
Then I see AL taking AD from his house to the autozone, while she's texting away, and he get's pissed and makes her shut the phone off at 1140 to pay him some attention.
Then I see him going to Love's with her dead or taped up in the car. EB could have texted that she was sick because she'd drank too much while with his couple guy friends, maybe.
I doubt he went into Love's with blood on his shirt. The clerk would ahve remembered that. But I never believed there was a bloody shirt. I don't believe it because we haven't heard about blood evidence in the car. There's no way AL could have cleaned up that much blood if he left semen in the car. If she was burned alive as some people think, then where would the large blood stain come from?
I also really doubt she was alive when he went to Love's, because I'm not convinced that he planned to kill her all along. I DO want to know why he had duck tape, though. Duck tape is hard to rip and he didn't have a weapon, so I wonder if he had scissors to cut it? Or a knife? Seems like it'd be hard to keep AD under control while ripping duck tape.
Maybe he duck taped her after it was over, because she was crying about how she was going to tell on him. Maybe at first, he thought he could get her to keep quiet. But when it was apparent that she wouldn't, he ducked taped and decided to kill her?
Anyways, I think burning the body was a compulsive act, not planned, or he would have had the gas already. at least a gas can.
Maybe I'm way off base, but I can't let go of him talking about the party and the neighbor verifying there was a party.
I don't know. there's just too much lying going on, too many inconsistencies for me to really pull together anything but what's in my imagination.
