I agree

There's a stark contrast between the life he lived and the life she lived prior to joining him.
Obviously it was a better option socially and economically at minimum if not mentally and emotionally as well at least for a short time for her to leave somewhat willingly.
If coercion was involved, financial, mental or emotional then clearly there was still abuse, just in a different economic bracket which made it worth it.
IMOO

I was a runaway from age 13 on, terrible family life. But I never got chopped up, poor girl.

I haven't been following this case closely - is it verified that she was dismembered? I recall hearing something in the beginning about that, but then also heard that it may have simply been decomposition. I'm sure it wouldn't take long in the LA heat for a body to no longer be in one piece.

"Mutilated inside a bag" is what is being reported here.

However, we have yet to see an actual ME report with this phrase or LE say that.

Ah wow mutilated makes me think more physically manipulated unnaturally into a bag as opposed to chopped up?

But again even the bag reports vary and not many styles of bag fit in a Tesla frunk. Maybe a gym bag style?

Mutilated vs dismembered vs cut up are different things to ME... and TMZ (idk if they are a source but honestly they absolutely have first hand contact with the family and this case) Harvey Levin has said dismembered but then said "possibly not dismembered " and then said dismembered again so.... it's a puzzle.

As for the frunk/front trunk, the Model X frunk has a lot more space than the Y.

<modsnip> ... pimple patches, by whatever name, have been around since the 17th-century:

We had a video up from YouTube that showed a woman climbing into one with ease.
It was the shape restrictions of the bag that would be the issue as opposed to volume I think?

MOO

What's up with all the Tesla's.

Teslas are just really common cars here.

I just came back from visiting California in the Silicon Valley - every other car was a Tesla... that is the first thing that "shocked" me - ALL those Teslas!!

So - no arrest yet??

No arrest and people are beginning to wonder where he is, even....

As for the number of Tesla, yeah, i akso assumed they are common everywhere now... I did hear a podcast where both Kathy Griffin and Jenny Garth returned their Teslas because they didn't want to be Associated with his Brand. LOL.

 

[PatLaurel]

nah at that age I had someone give me a gold ring and say we were engaged and other kids were boyfriend/girlfriend or 'going steady' and we took ourselves seriously - it really didn't reflect anything about our cultural and socioeconomic status IMO

Did you run away from home? That was the context of my post. How exposure to various dysfunctional adult dynamics can shape a child's behaviour.

This is a timeline I've found to be helpful, following only local news and NOT TT and NOT random musings. Was the body mutilated or dismembered? I can't find any primary sources on this.

On my Oregon visits I ride in my sisters, they’re everywhere!

Edit to add: most all have magnets or stickers of anti musk sentiment

Seriously, the pimple patches are a nothing burger. I live in the UK and everybody I know has / does wear them, including myself. <modsnip: off topic>

Oh.. I think you don't realise that post is about the bruises on his face not the stickers. It was just a Segway.
The guy suspected of possibly being involved with a crime has bruises on his face in those pictures IMOO

Ayr they could be a way to distract from bruising. It would line up if he had face bruising on the 10th August. The tour started on the 5th. If it happened right before the tour, it would explain why he had a very limited window to handle the body.

Though he does have a shadow in that first picture, so it could also just be an artifact of stage light and the contrast being messed with in the stage photos.

It's likely the window was between 6&8 August in my opinion, when he bleached his hair too. JMOO

Thanks. One of them does look like a bruise of some sort.
