Yes, I wrote that he said this, because you said:
I thought Steve said that he looked down the road when he realized Bobby's truck was gone and that was when he saw TH turning left at the corner.
He didn't say that. It's a very minute distinction, but an important one with all the times being so close together.
Steven didn't associate bobby with her leaving AT ALL, which is why I do not get why Jodi would say he said Bobby saw her last. SA has never associated Bobby's whereabouts with TH. Not even that he saw her leave and then saw that bobby's truck was gone. It's always been that he walked in the house, put down the book, went outside and they both were gone. He never says he saw these two things at once. it's always been on two different trips outside.
And it's hard to believe that SA watched TH drive for two minutes to see her turn left before going in the house. That might be why it's written somewhere, maybe in the Relief, that he went inside, she was in her car, bobby left, she left, and SA came outside. he saw her making a left. He went by bobby and bobby was gone. I read that somewhere. I just can't say it was the Relief for certain. But wherever I read that, they were explaining that SA didn't see Bobby driving because he'd already turned right on 147 before SA came back out of the house.
SA is very consistent with this story. The only thing I think changes is his mom bringing him the mail. But I don't know how many times he says that or when it stops being a part of his recollections.
It's a shame that his family was trying to sue him for some money. I understand that they lost business, and I'm guessing his parents were not involved in this. But it would explain Scott's attitude and Barb's change. It would explain Barb suddenly talking about those jeans. I would love to see her February interview. Can't find it.
But I am guessing barb didn't think she was railroading her son in the process of trying to railroad SA over the money.
What stuck out to me is when Chuck, I believe it was, said he the little girl cousin loved Steven. He said he thought she adored him too much or something like that, and he wouldn't let her go over by Steven. Then, next thing you know, she is writing on her statement how much she wants Steven to rot in hell. That's suspicious.
Additionally suspicious is how scott told a coworker that one of Barb's kid had blood on his clothes and those clothes somehow got in Scott's laundry! What the heck is that about? I haven't studied that too hard yet. Just ran across it while searching CASO keywords.
