The red car witness spoke to police on June 30th the same day Erin's car was found then hours later in the early morning of July 1st the approvals came. I wonder if the red car witness was the reason they were able to get those after 10pm? Or, was finding her car reason enough?
I have an awful feeling that the 2 witnesses (the Beasleys) statements didn't become a part of the investigation until yesterday. It seems the investigation was unaware of this critical information. It's baffling, that their statement wasn't followed up on, IMHO, but that's how it appears.
