"running on the Katy Trail" Surprised they didn't try to ambush her on the walking trail instead of gunning her down in her parking lot.

Cameras...sigh...why can't they work and give clear, precise video? So many of these cases would be solved so much easier!! How many times do we look at grainy video!:doh:

If either one had gunshot residue on their hands, it would probably have been gone by the time an arrest was made. Would have been good to check the steering wheel for residue transfer, if that is such a thing.

I was thinking about clothing, where it can last longer. It is surprising how many people in these situations don't get rid of what they were wearing and hide/leave it in their homes only to be found by LE later. And yes, the steering wheel and interior of the jeep as well.

So apparently the ex is still free at this point. I hope Ricky is in hiding. I do continue to wonder if he and Kendra were aware of how angry she was and if they had taken out (useless) restraining orders.

[Bravo]

I think this is exactly right because all they were wanting the public's help with was locating the Jeep. Mission accomplished.

:welcome6:

If that's a female in the passenger seat where's her body?

In the back, with the 2 guys (one with the hat, the other wearing a hoodie/fleece helmet/balaclava)!

A very disturbing thought, but it has crossed my mind, that the Jeep could be owned by the boyfriend, who lent it to his ex-girlfriend (quite unaware of what she was planning).

 

[Cardinal47]

I donno. Looking at recent pictures of CC and comparing them to old ones on her FB. I see a decline. Drugs? Couple of hopped up gals?

CC was about ten years younger than the other key players.

Was some of the gifts drugs?

A local news station inadvertently showed the un-redacted arrest affidavit and revealed the Jeep owner's name.

A few times I've see the warrant without the names blurred out and it's not RP's Cherokee. From what I gather the jeep's owner is a close friend of the ex. (modsnip)

This is a little odd:

"The ex-girlfriend also could not be reached. Her job is unclear, but she posted in the past offering free teeth-cleaning services to her friends. State records show the woman is not a licensed dentist or dental hygienist."

Maybe she is licensed under a different name??

You have to do those free cleanings to get your license.
But I did think she was referred to as already being licensed.
Hmmm coffee..

So perhaps she was in the process of getting her license when she offered those free cleanings. Are there state exams to pass as well? If so, I wonder when the last exams were offered?

BBM, SBM...I read the above article and others like it. I don't understand why the ex-GF cannot be named (by media in general, not here on WS). The BF is not under arrest and his whole life history is out there, name, education, etc... I don't get it, someone clue me in...TIA now, more coffee....:coffeews:

(modsnip) Kendra was my friend. I hope that she gets justice. She was the nicest girl you could ever meet.

The thing I don't understand is this from the below link: "Cortes told police that Paniagua’s ex-girlfriend plotted the robbery and agreed to pay Cortes $500 once she returned with Hatcher’s driver’s license."

http://www.dallasnews.com/news/crim...it-for-answers-in-dentists-uptown-slaying.ece

So....what we are supposed to believe is that CC was going to be paid (was paid?) $500 for bringing the ex KH's driver's license. Where does the "male shooter" fit into this? What was he going to be paid for doing the job? Why wouldn't he bring the ex the driver's license himself and get paid?

This is why I'm not so sure about there ever even being a male involved. Surely LE would have his name by now.

Welcome to Websleuths, Gha. I'm sorry for your loss.

Welcome to WS, Gha! My most sincere sympathies on the loss of your friend. [emoji813]beat:

Crystal Cortes is a licensed dental assistant.

Crystal Cortes is a licensed dental assistant.

We're talking about the ex, not Crystal.

There is no law that says ex-GF can't be named. Press just decided not to name her. Presumably afraid of lawsuits if she doesn't end up getting arrested and charged.
