[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who doesn't think he planned to kill her? Like - it's easy enough to imagine a scenario where they're alone in the van, he pushes for sex, she says no/get off me, and it spirals from there.

I still can't get a grip on his age but he looks at least late 20s and she just turned 22.[/quote]

I agree. It’s extremely unlikely he planned it, even a real dummy would understand that he would be the obvious suspect.  If he’s THAT dumb, however, he probably made a mistake somewhere along the way that will undo him.  Based on the facts as stated in this thread, I’d put the highest probability on accidental death for which he’s concerned that he has legal exposure:  drug overdose, allowing her to wander off in an intoxicated state, messing around in some reckless way, leaving her by the side of the road in a spat and not knowing what the hell happened, etc. Second place is crime of passion, also quite possible.  Or maybe it’s a Gone Girl scenario where she bailed on him and he’s scared.  Dark horse possibility: intentional publicity stunt. [/quote]

RE dumb mistake, time and conflicting LEOs are on the murderer's side. If you don't notice the victim is gone in the first 24 hours, its less likely to be resolved. See Suzanne Morphew and Jennifer Dulos.

As for the search for her, the U.S. is pretty good about doing search parties for a missing person in a single area of a state. But this jurisdiction is literally a beeline across the whole of the United States. Starting in a desert in southern Utah (which would be hard to search because of arid conditions for the volunteers) all the way down to the swamps of Florida.

It's not always the case of no body, no case. But no body, no crime scene, and 12 jurisdictions? He's pretty much guaranteed to walk until they find her 5-10 years from now.[/quote]
