Yep. This is not “we broke up and I dropped her off in the next town”. This is now a recovery operation. |
Every rich kid with a trust fund is taught to never talk to the police. It’s just self-preservation to go through your lawyer… |
...because he knows that there is no urgency to the finding his girlfriend since he knows she is dead. |
Well, yeah. No body, no one around but them in a van, and 12 states as a jurisdiction he has a 50/50 chance of walking. |
And every other innocent person in the world would say, here’s what happened, here’s my phone, and here’s the location I last saw her, I’m extremely worried that someone I care about has gone missing. |
because there are a lot of things that could have happened to her after they parted ways. If they don't find a murder weapon and he stays quiet, it'll be hard to get him. |
Exactly. They were supposedly heading to Yellowstone at the end of August, and then her family didn't hear from her again. And all of a sudden their "van life" trip is cut short because he shows up all the way back in FL with the van, but without her, and it was her mother who reported her missing, not him. |
Ha. Remember when that police officer took a hiker on a date, abandoned her and then reported her missing four hours later? His job is literally to serve and protect, he didn’t kill the chick and even he had the same instinct for self-preservation. |
Your counterpoint is the cop who abandoned a first date on a hike which caused her death? |
I mean, I don't have a hard time believing this dude killed her because "it's always the husband." But, also, if they did simply break up and he doesn't know what happened to her, that's not weird either. So many things could have happened to her after they separated. It's not that weird that he showed up in FL on h is own and didn't contact her family. |
Yes. He obviously didn’t do everything he could to preserve life and that’s his job. I would not expect this aimless bum living in a van with a 22-year-old to have better morales. |
Wait — how is that NOT weird? They left together, they come back together. At the very least he could have texted her family - hey Becca and I are parting ways but I’d appreciate you coming to check on her in Utah since the van is mine and I have to get on the road. He totally killed her. |
She was clearly in regular contact with her family, particularly her mother. Let's entertain the break up theory: breaking up with your fiance is a big deal, and would be even more devastating while out in the middle of nowhere, far away from your family. It makes sense that she would contact her mother about something like that; I'm talking a phone call. It looks like that did not happen. I bet her mother was trying to contact her for those two weeks, including contacting the fiance. Something as big as ending an engagement would be made known before seemingly unceremoniously showing up back in FL without your fiancee. |

80% chance he walks. It sounds like he has a bit of money to be able to afford an attorney. He likely already destroyed and disposed of his and her phones a long time ago, so cops wont have that evidence to use. He will claim that she decided to break up with him during the trip and she decided to hitchhike. The van was owned by him, IIRC.
The van will have her DNA all over it, but likely nothing that indicates a crime. He most likely killed her outside the van. The police will retrace his route by looking at his transactions (he probably didn't pay for gas in cash on a cross country drive) and the mobile phone tower pings. Whenever he shut off the phones, that's likely when she died. |
If he was selling the "we broke up" story, he would cooperate with the police. Because they best way to clear his name would be to find her, correct? Unless he killed her. Then not finding her helps him. Which is why he's not cooperating. |
