I don't begrudge your thinking but it's so interesting how people think differently. To me, adding someone else into the scene makes the simplest sense. Because her alone, is very perplexing. Especially the photos earlier from that day. Why in the world would Travis have sex with her at this point? He despised her and knew she had slashed his tires (and his then-girlfriends tires) earlier that year (or in Dec). So Jodi is now displaying a new more frightening side to her behavior.
He might've engaged in phone sex IF......that phone call wasn't a set up (which most of us think it was...) but clearly the text messages demonstrate he knew she was a sociopath so why.....WHY would he be with her that June 4th unless perhaps, forced.
He doesn't look happy at all. Neither does she actually. Who leaves a bottle of KY on the bed when there's a night stand right there? Those photos look totally staged to me.
If you haven't, I implore you to watch the unedited interrogation tapes on YouTube. There are like 16 of them that just came out. About 30 minutes each.
She is hiding something. She knows she's caught (they have her damn photos from that day) but she is STILL holding something back.
The intruder story came out of her mouth with much detail. It's not like she had 3 years to fabricate it like she's doing now with the self-defense story, so there seems to be a modicum of truth to her original story.
The possibility of someone else there (to me and a bunch of others) is very probable. And remember, when they were closing in on her......(if she had accomplices) they could've easily made up alibis by then. This was a state-to-state investigation. Very hard to conduct with ease and in a timely manner.
If someone else was willing to be her accomplice, why would JA have to risk being there at all?
Detective Flores gave her the idea for the Ninja story, as others have pointed out. He asked if someone else was involved. He hinted it might be more than one person. All she did is construct a scenario she thought plausible that would fit into the known facts.
Relistening now to their sex tape. He is obviously being candid, talking about people he doesn't care for, talking about his plans. In fact, he starts his end of the conversation saying he's going to get "happy face and get normalized and we'll see where it takes us." If you don't think he was a willing and enthusiastic participant, I think you're overlooking how much he enjoyed sex with her.
He's the one who muses--unprodded--what pictures and angles he wants to get in their *advertiser censored* shoot. He tells her how gorgeous and wonderful and hot she is. At 26:15, he tells her, "
Start touching yourself." That was more than a month after he texted her not to contact him again. But then he texted her sweet nothings, such as being in a nightclub and realizing she was one of the prettiest women on the planet. And asking her to send him a naughty picture.
Yes, she surreptitiously taped him but nobody was twisting his arm to say the things he was saying on his own. As a young, red-blooded male. Obviously they had many *advertiser censored*-rated conversations in the past, which is why she knew she could get him on tape.
Don't forget, after she slashed his tires--twice--and that of the girl he was seeing, he STILL went on a trip with her in March, to two states. He talks on the sex tape how many times they have had sex for two and three hours--that their record was 3 1/2 hours. He tells her, "
You cannot say I don't work that booty." On that very tape he says he is going to come out and visit her, that "
You are at the top of the list." And that was a couple of weeks after telling her not to contact him again. And clearly after they resumed sexy communication.
Yes, the picture I am drawing you is that he liked sex! A lot! And planned to have more with her, despite knowing how obsessed she was with him. :great:
Which is why I'm convinced she did let him know she was coming, and that he welcomed her. And yes, had sex. Even if the horrible thing she'd done to him was, let's say, play the sex tape for a few Mormons--he did tell Mimi he wasn't 'worthy' but didn't tell her why--why wouldn't he have (1) accepted his role in the tête à tête since it takes two to tango--and (2) perhaps decided that since the damage to his reputation was already done, he may as well go ahead with his fantasy to do a photoshoot, and make a video, "like legitimate *advertiser censored*?"
As a woman, you can't be expected to know how guys think. But since the subject makes you uncomfortable, we can just agree to disagree.
I've watched most of the unedited police interrogation videos--actually one can see it all in just a couple of videos, it's not necessary to divide them up into 16 parts--and will watch the remaining bits tonight. But don't forget--both Detective Flores and Prosecutor Martinez have already made it abundantly clear that they believe without a shadow of a doubt that Travis and Jodi had a sexual encounter on June 4. Martinez said in his opening statement they were 'going at it,' 'they were sinning.' Like a black widow spider, she used sex to trap her prey. Black widow spiders are cannibals. So was Jodi.
Sex makes the world go 'round. If it weren't for males' sex drive, how many of us would even be here? :what:
