Answering myself (that's a variation of talking to one's self. lol).
As my post said above, the trooper said he "left the keys in there and it's
all locked up". Then we only see him trying the locked passenger side. We don't see him try the driver's side. My guess is that he couldn't because that side appears to be right up against the barbwire fence from the pic of the vid I pasted below. So it's a guess on my part that is why we didn't see him try the driver's door, and why he said "it's all locked up". I doubt he'd guess about something like that and instead stated fact.
If that's really the case, then he either had to exit out the back and maybe he did kick out the back window, or exited from the passenger side and then locked the door before closing. That likely could have been habit engrained him him so it would be automatic, nothing thought about. As close as the car is to the barbwire I'd think that wouldn't have been an easy way out. And IF he did go that way, he'd likely have more than 1 small spot of blood on his shorts as he'd need to make his way along the side of the car to get out in the open. Also, there's never been any mention of tears on any of his clothing. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about that! I'd think the barbs would have made a few rips here and there, both to his skin and the clothes, yet the small blood smear tells me otherwise. IMHO
While I don't know if this is true for ALL barbed wire... (it's not something a city girl runs across. lol)... this source says 4-5" apart, with 3-5 strands or wire horizontally. It's MOO that he'd get stuck by more than 1 barb if he went that way.
Barbed wire consists of two or more strands of smooth, galvanized wire twisted together with two or four sharp barbs spaced every 4 to 5 inches. Standard barbed wire fences usually have three to five strands of barbed wire stretched between posts.

So. My guess is the reason the trooper said it was all locked up, and the reason Kent found the driver's door unlocked, is because the tow guy likely has a jimmy (or whatever) to deal with situations such as this and to get inside the car to make his job easier. And he didn't bother locking it back up once he got it on his truck and to his yard which is why Kent found it unlocked. That doesn't necessarily mean Jason left it unlocked.
