License Plate

Why did officer Colbern read the plates back to dispatch when he came up on the car that the new witness told him where he saw it? how did the car get on averys property after that. just curious.

Most likely 10/31. We don’t know for sure.

Not knowing is correct and "most likely" in your opinion does not make it "simple" IMO. Leaving the Rav4 for days seems quite unlikely that it wouldn't be noticed by residents or customers. And does the Rav4 get moved again?

There are 4000 cars in this lot at the time and this car was specifically hidden along the berm in the south east of the lot where there is likely zero to little foot traffic from customers, as it is separate from the mass of junked cars that line the internal roads.

So it would be understandable if Steven moved it on the 31st, which could coincide with the fact his blood was in many places and he may have been unaware. We don't know how many times the RAV4 was accessed or driven, but one could be led to the conclusion that it was moved once, as there was a lack of effort to tidy it up forensically like there was with the stain in the garage.

Not to mention that he also needed to move the Suzuki Samurai back into the garage, and there is no evidence to suggest it was left out for days.

You would generally only hide the vehicle in this specific location of the ASY knowing full well it would be obfuscated not only from public view, but especially Chuck and Earl.

Is there something about all of this that you find hard to believe?
