You have to factor in her terror though. Its important to keep in mind that we have the benefit of hindsight and objectivity. We are thinking logically and rationally about an event that likely took place in seconds.
You are right, I would think, after all this time. I hope they find out.
The coward probably came up from behind with a rock/blunt object and stuck her. Mollie wouldnt have known he was there or even hear him coming as she would have had her earphones in.
That whole fight or flight thing.
If she was beaten to death it would likely show at autopsy. Strangulation can still be determined in some cases (thyroid bone broken). Asphyxiation would be unlikely to be determined.
Or...maybe he was drunk and passed out; and when he came back around realized what he had done. I am not making excuses for his when I'm angry, I black out story, because I think it is BS...but passed out because your drunk...possible. Jmo
They didnt provide a good timeline on this. Ive wondered the same. I understood them to have had the tape for awhile but didnt research it til more recently.
I wondered this too. Did the homeowner watch their own surveillance before turning it over to LE?
We can't assume MT, running at the side of a road, would have been listening to music so loudly she would not have heard a car either in front of her or behind her. People in general know to be aware of cars when walking, biking, jogging, so often have music at low volume. I know I do. Very low.
But his blackout story was an attempt to minimize. If he was drunk, he’d have said that, because in his mind, it minimizes things even further. The fact that he didn’t say he was drunk or high (as far as we know) means that he probably wasn’t, in my mind anyways.
