But if he had the scratches on Thursday, and was washing mud off his truck, that leaves a very very small window depending on what time this neighbor saw him cleaning his vehicle. I hope she/he is mistaken and it was Friday. Thing would have had to escalate rapid rapid rapid, and then he got stuck, got unstuck and cleaned his truck with scratches. The timeline seems off on this for the mud or scratches to have come from the alleged kidnapping/abduction.
She agreed to talk to THV11, but requested that only her initials be used to identify her. When she woke up from a nap Thursday afternoon, she says she had a missed call from him.
"He was trying to get a hold of me Thursday afternoon to help get him out of a mud hole that he got stuck in," said G.C.
She says he told her what he was calling about when she saw him later that day washing mud off of his vehicle in his driveway.
"He was not smiling," said G.C. "He had scratches on his face."
She also noticed his shaved head. She says when she saw Lewis Thursday morning he had hair.

There was talk yesterday afternoon about the tim eline not making sense in regards to him calling his neighbor about the stuck truck, her talking to him about the text, him washing the truck down, etc........
What was confusing was that Bev supposedly left at 5:30 and it gets dark at 7:00, so how could all of this have happened per the neighbors statement ?
I got my little peabrain to working on it last night after I logged off and was watching the game. This probably isn't what anybody wants to hear, but I think it is a likely scenario.
1) AL was seen earlier in the day....WITH hair and possible goatee.
2) AL called his neighbor to come help him get his truck unstuck.
3) His neighbor was napping and missed the call.
STOP----the events above happened BEFORE he met with Beverly that afternoon---he was preparing the site where he was going to take her. Wherever the site is, he got stuck either going back and forth to it, or he got stuck at the site itself. He wasn't worried about someone coming to help him, because at that point nothing had happened yet.
4) AL managed to somehow get his pickup unstuck........(did someone help him, if so, where was it stuck ?)
5) AL meets Beverly at the Home for sale--------his truck would have still had mud on it, he would have been seen by neighbors close to the foreclosure
location, and he would still have hair.
6) Later that afternoon---neighbor saw him washing off truck, not smiling, and had scratches on his face. He had shaved his head bald and was clean
shaven. This would have occurred sometime between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.----just prior to dark-thirty.
7) Later that night, towards midnight, AL gets on her phone and sends texts to the husband either to just be plain mean and torture him, or because he
views it as a way to delay a missing persons report being filed. Who really knows what his reasoning might have been ?
When reviewing the neighbors comments per the linked article above, this scenario and the timeline above do actually make sense. I think the most encouraging part is that "the site" must have been fairly close to both the foreclosed home and his residence.
The time frame between when he met Beverly, and when he was seen back at home cleaning his truck is very short---
30 min. to an hour max., most likely before dark, since his neighbor referred to it as "later that afternoon". She
didn't say, "later that night", giving the impression it was after dark.
Now, where is this "site" ?? Somewhere between that foreclosure and his residence on whatever main road would tie them together.
Is it an old barn? An old abandon farmhouse ? Did he dig a hole in the soft ground ? Could she be down in an old cellar ?
Wherever it is, it is muddy getting there and muddy getting back out, thus it would be a dirt road or a driveway not heavily traveled.
I think it is an area he is familiar with. He would view it as a very good hiding place due to the remoteness. It must be fairly accessible though, or he wouldn't have asked people to come and try to pull him out of the mud, in other words, he thought other vehicles could both find him and get to his truck with no problem.
