IIRC, MP had left Oak Beach before LE arrived.
I'm certainly not convinced that SG was in the marsh when LE first responded, and IMO, there are equally as many questions unanswered that have the potential to support the foul play theories as there are related to an unfortunate misadventure.
So MP left before LE arrived and was interviewed later? That makes him still a witness. And Coletti's statement places him near Coletti's house just minutes after Coletti saw SG hiding behind the boat and then running off. So, either, he was searching after that still for SG or he left Oak Beach. If he left Oak Beach, he had no time to find her and kill her. Which excludes MP.
JB was at the house when the police arrived. Nothing indicates, he was even searching for her. But if he was, he had about 20 minutes to find her, kill her (hide her body in his basement, spray some lime on her to prevent her from smelling), wash the clothes, he had on, dry them, put them on before the police arrived. And this, without knowing where SG was hiding in the first place, so technically unable to find her quickly in the first place. So that excludes JB. That leaves us with the drifter. He would have about the same time and same conditions to find and kill her, so by all means, without time warp, no way.
Okay, but you asked for it. So here comes my list of questions and I aks you to deliver for each of them an at least possible explanation, including all known facts. You can post your list as well and I will do my best to do the same (tomorrow probably, since I will go out next time).
1.) Why on Earth would someone who plans to kill a person, let the would-be victim talk 22 minutes to the police without interfering? Why would said wannabe-killer let his victim then escape if not because he would have postponed the whole operation? Because during this 9/11 for at least 18 minutes (this was the time, the original articles reported) NOBODY actually tried to kill her.
2.) How would someone in the time frame between the moment Coletti saw SG running off from that boat to the time, police arrived, be able to find her and clean himself from all traces of running through the marsh which would have pulled the officer's attention.
3.) Since she wore her pants when Coletti saw her, the pants only could have come off AFTER she went into the marsh. So you have to add the time a rape would take to the anyway too narrow time frame. How do you explain that?
4.) It is simply impossible to move skeletal remains to another site without moving the one or the other bone and without twisting the then pretty brittle tendons in a typical way. Also the ground under the body would show in the chemical analysis, nothing of human size decomposed there. The ME would have noticed such signs and they would have raised red flags. So how do you explain why nothing of this was in the reports to the media instead of that rather embarrassing but credible "undetermined COD"? And please, without a conspiracy theory that involves all LE and the ME's office because that is not what I would consider reasonable.
5.) SG's behavior was confused and paranoid. She wasn't during the 9/11 not only unable to give them an address (which would still be explainable), but also unable to give the name of the man who owned the house, unable to give any hint where she was in fact (that indicates, she didn't even know at this time, she was in Oak Beach, she was near the ocean, she was in a gated community). How do you explain that?
6.) After she "escaped" from the house, she ran pass some houses and ended up at Coletti's place. Coletti called the police. She, instead of going into the house, ran off again, first hiding behind the boat and when Pak and his SUV appeared, running off into the marsh. So, why did she hide behind the boat instead of going in? Was that in any way reasonable? Or was it paranoid panic?
7.) Mari Gilbert once told, her daughter hated water and swimming and so on. So SG wouldn't have gone even near the water in her normal mindset. Still, she flees into a marsh of which she had to assume, it would only lead her down to the water. So something made her unable to follow her normal behavioral patterns. If not drugs, or a symptom of her untreated bipolar disorder, or both at once, what is your explanation?
8.) If you look, where Coletti's place is, where her belongings were found and where her body was found, you can see, she wasn't able to hold a straight direction anymore. We know, daylight had set in. So she could see where she was going. What, if not utter confusion and paranoid panic could have caused her to run the way she ran?
I think, I will limit it to that. But feel free to make a longer list, that way we get this stuff off the table.
