Possible. Personally, I don't think Robbie is lying.
The part of his story which doesn't make sense to me is what happens after he concludes Barbara has been taken.
"Statistics show that a truthful statement will have a before, during, and after part. It has been
shown that before ≈ 25% after ≈ 25%, and the during segment ≈ 50% of the total words used. In a deceptive statement the distribution will deviate significantly from this formula."
I sense lies of omission, rather than outright lying about the series of events. More, i sense premeditation in having the dog dropped off, the time and place, being in that area, desolate road in obscene heat... If she
was abducted, maybe she is alive. I sense quite a bit of narrative building and trying to sell that narrative. I sense premeditated alibis. He has probably told the story a thousand times by now. In his head, at least. Maybe some financial instability and certainly a fear of being unable to keep up appearances. An insecurity. I don't know, but someone mentioned plastic surgery. Robbie has mentioned being worried, losing sleep, and done a good deal of building a defence for himself. Love notes, that road, that beer, that bikini. He didn't hire a lawyer for a week, that is true. He was never a suspect or person of interest to police in the first place, so he probably lawyered up in preparation to sue websleuths or something, right? He is, indeed, the only person who has claimed to be a suspect, so far. He was the first person to refer to the trailer as a crime scene, as far as I've heard.
Which leads into something else I am detecting. Something subtle. The actions and reactions of the police investigating this case... Based on what they
aren't presently investigating I think it is safe to say there is something major being looked into. They're already deep into a major piece of the puzzle. Why don't they need the public's help? why don't they need the neighbour's surveillance cam? Why don't they reach out to... on and on, if you follow.
I get the feeling they have their teeth on something chunky.
a friend sent me a video of the officer who first answered the call to Chris Watt's house. I really do wonder if the sb county police wear body cams... Would be very useful to see Robbie's body language in those few hours with the police, IMHO.
