Something that caught my attention - if you look at the first video from the 6 p.m. broadcast, the truck is backed directly underneath the camper. In the second broadcast, if I am right in what I'm seeing, the truck is now facing the camper and possibly a little more towards the left. I uploaded both photos for reference. If that's true, then obviously the truck was moved at some point between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.
SBM for focus - if the truck was moved between 6 and 10, then that could support CL's story that he went to the reserve to look for BL for several hours on the evening of the 13th.
BL going hiking on the 13th does make more sense in the timeline.
The U.S. Sun reports that CL and RL originally told police they "only grew concerned between 24 to 48 hours after their son failed to return from the hike. They claim they drove up to the 25,000-acre park, spotted Laundrie's car, and drove it home after allegedly finding a note on the windshield left by police asking for it to be removed from the area."
Now, this timeline would make perfect sense EXCEPT now they've added in that CL also went to look for BL on the evening of the 13th. (Source:
WVTM 13)
A couple of questions to think over:
1) If they weren't concerned until 24-48 hours later, why would CL go to the park to search for BL the night of the 13th?
2) If you were so concerned about your son, why would you wait until the 17th to report it?
3) When relaying events to LE, did CL just forget that he actually went to look for BL twice?
I'm not criticizing CL for going to look for BL on the evening of the 13th, I would have done the same. I'm questioning the information they've relayed to this point.
If one were to be leaning more towards CL and RL assisting BL in leaving, it would be reasonable to wonder if CL picked up BL from the park the evening of the 13th, at a time when the park was closed to the public, and took him to another location.
Also, in digging around, I discovered the park hours are 6:00 a.m. to sunset. (Source:
Park Info.) It's a 10 minute drive for the Laundrie home to Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park (where the Mustang was located.) Assuming BL was at the park waiting for the gates to open, we can say we have a broad window of 5:45ish a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (based on my previous post about the weather), but I think that can probably be narrowed down even more. It would be nice to know what time SB allegedly spoke to BL on the 13th.
I wish we had someone to enhance the actual video so we can have definite evidence that the truck was moved sometime the evening of the 13th (or at least turned around I guess!)
