  1. …took a picture of her murdered driver, sent it to her boyfriend, then called 911.

    …he got there BEFORE the cops did, so she MUST of known where she was to tell HIM where she was.

    Also suggests she’s either lying about the timeline or the police response was REALLY slow.

    And why the picture? Souvenir?

    …there’s more going on than is being said. But she’s been taken to the penitentiary against her will instead of Juarez, so there’s that.

    …but how nice that they tell us what color the GUN was. They only started doing that when they stopped telling us what color the MURDERER was…
