Fellow sleuther from Finland joining the team
I've been reading mostly, but now that I'm getting more and more intrigued by this case, I've got to post my own theories.
KY thinks he is perfect, but I can see he made at least two mistakes that we can see.
The first mistake was on friday morning. I read KY showed up at work with scratch marks on his face. Why the heck did he do that? Intoxicated, not being able to think straight. He thought he should act normal to avoid suspicion, like nothing ever happened. Just go to work. Well, that was not smart. The boss sent him home. OMG, that must have been so embarrassing for KY, call that a shocker for a narcissist.
After that KY felt pressure and needed to think harder. He might have gone to grandpa's or somewhere else to plan and sober up a little. KY thinks that obviously the people at work have seen too much for him to be able to wear his nice guy outfit anymore. He realizes he needs to choose a strategy to save his *advertiser censored*. He decides to cover all tracks - and to keep his mouth shut.
KY thinks:
"I need to get rid of all the evidence. Cleaning day it is. Damn, I hate cleaning."
"Bollocks, I have evidence scratched to my face. I must hide until it heals. Vitamin E?"
"Is the body hidden well, should I move it? Now let's see, where should I move it."
"Do I look adorable? Should I get a new tat?"
That day, KY spent all day thinking and doing those things. Driving to places and making sure. He probably had a map or a memo for keeping up with his arrends.
Later he finds out JR has been reported missing. His phone is beeping constantly. "Damn, already?" He just got back from securing the body. The car is hidden, but messy. KY still has to torch it. "I can't do it yet - the fire dept would arrive too soon", he thinks, feeling a little pressure and decides to stay low and wait for dark.
"After I torch the car, I need a lift. Who can I call?", KY wonders. He would prefer a friend that does not know too much about him, but someone that has helped him before. It is very important that KY does get that lift, so he heavily manipulates the friend to help him out. When the time is right, he unveils JR's car for the last time, packs a jerry can in the trunk and heads to Blue River Rd.
According to news footage, the car was found burning with big flames at 2 am, which tells me the fire was started around 1:15-1:30 am and was spotted quite soon after it was started. KY made the second mistake right here: he got too close to the flames and got his face burned.
KY was probably hiding in the woods or walking back to his place when fire dept arrived. Whatever residence that was, it was close by. KY then popped a few pills and had a couple of beers after a rough day at work, and eventually his friend picked him up. The friend probably had no idea what KY had been doing all day. I think the friend might have suspected something and told the LE where KY is hiding or simply LE asked the friend about it, since KY was caught sleeping, probably thinking LE would not get to him that soon.
I'm quite sure KY made more mistakes, especially during the early friday hours. I think he might have been extra sloppy in that timeframe since he was drunk. Some of those mistakes may still be left uncovered. Let's find those mistakes!
