Going back a couple pages, I do think that she is no longer with us, as much as I hate to say that.
At first I thought this was an accidental, crime of passion sort of thing, based on theories and speculation, but the fact that there is so little evidence makes me think this was intentional and premeditated. No cameras at MetLife, no cameras at IG, car placed back in her spot, and zero witness sightings of her in that 24 hour span (that we are made aware of). Hard to believe that whoever did this got lucky with all of those things and is living their life as if nothing happened.
I do think that the SG or whoever did this had help, help that didn't realize exactly what they were involving them self in. maybe the friend was aware that he had a relationship outside of his marriage and was trying to help him cover an affair, or maybe he told the friend he was drunk and needed a ride. Whatever the excuse was, it's not like you'd automatically think your friend committed a horrible crime. I've picked up friends at 4 in the morning no questions asked.
My question would be, if you have heard rumors that your friend was involved in a disappearance of a woman the same night you assisted with a ride or had even had communication with them within that timeframe, why wouldn't you immediately come forward to LE to cover your own *advertiser censored*?
Like most here, I believe LE knows WAY more then we can even speculate. They could've put his picture out to the public, and maybe a lot of people would've come forward to sightings, character witnesses, past violent experiences, etc. They must know enough about him that they are not in need of public assistance.
Interesting thoughts. I also was in the "no way there was more than one person involved," camp, though instead of a crime of passion (an affair gone wrong), I felt it was a stalking situation, maybe one that escalated way faster and more violently than the SG intended -- for example, he got her into his car and to his house and was crazy enough to think she would cooperate, or just didn't think things through, and then he committed or tried to commit a rape and then she fought back and violence ensued.
My mind is opening to another scenario in which he might have had help. This isn't original, others have said it, but it's just something I've more recently been open to thinking about -- and that is that after he got her to the house (voluntarily or involuntarily), someone from SG's wife's family interrupted, saw him there with a woman, totally freaked out thinking that it would be so harmful to the SG's sick wife, there was a fight between the family member and the SG, and DS was harmed, not necessarily even on purpose, maybe not even as the intended target.
I say this because someone I loved had cancer, the person's partner had an affair, and I can imagine what the scene would have looked like had I actually walked in on anything. It would have been extremely ugly. Notch up my reaction, throw in testosterone, and it could be one heck of a physical confrontation.
With two people thrown into the situation, the cleanup becomes faster, the hiding of Danielle becomes easier, getting her car back to her apartment is now trivial. It would fit the idea that her parents said that there was an opportunity for her to be out of state. It would fit the idea of LE looking into the SG's in-laws vacation spots.
IDK, I waiver back and forth now.
I do believe that if a friend inadvertently helped him move the car, LE probably knows that already and it just hasn't been announced.
