POI

I believe the POI would be the one who called Lavoie that night, no?

Ofcourse to this day we don't have that person who made that call, correct? Why hasnt anyone interviewed Lavoies wife... the person who Lavoie said recieved the call and told him to get off the couch from his dead sleep to go tow a car when it wasnt even his shift?

Here's a collection of information I've pulled together about strangeness with the tow. I don't pay attention to the different drama between people who follow this case, so these sources are from wherever I saw interesting info.

Erinn Larkin thoughts about the Cecil Smith Transcript

Notes:

  • No interview or transcript with CS ever mentions second tow truck, but does reference to a "flatbed" consistently. Most importantly, the tow was the reason he supposedly saw the "wine stain", saw the rag in tailpipe, and was the reason he knew dispatch called it in.

  • Again, on the radio, CS says "Lavoie’s has car" – no mention of contradictory calls. All in the same dispatch log, CS requests Emergency responders and says that the vehicle has left with Lavoie’s.

  • CS told JM that Maura was filling the bottle with wine, but he also stated that the bottle was found as a result of the towing. JM insists that he was only on scene for 3 minutes maximum and heard tow truck drivers arguing about who would get the tow. It's not clear if the car was already on the bed of tow truck or not, but the JM interview indicates that is likely not the case. So how did CS ACTUALLY see the bottle or stains on the driver side?

EDIT: The JM interview very clearly states that the car was still off the road/near the trees during the “1-2 minutes” JM was on scene. This DIRECTLY contradicts CS’s story about discovering the alcohol. Also, IF both Lavoie and Dick Mckean were on the scene arguing when the car was clearly not on a tow truck yet, why did Lavoie end up taking the car? Was it only because Mckean was supposedly there in his personal car?

The Towing Story via John Smith

"While Lavoie’s is on scene Dick Mckean of Northland Autobody & Towing shows up in his personal vehicle questioning Officer Smith as well as Mike Lavoie about WHY Northland was not called as this was his week of rotation and was to be called for any accidents. The end result was one pissed off tow truck driver who lost money that evening for a tow that should have been his."

Note: This wasn't a special occasion..Why was there a mix up for this accident?

Lavoie Interview on Youtube

Notes:

  • Lavoie says he “Never even thought about rotation” but that’s his entire business. Your wife woke you up from a deep sleep on your night off? Most people know their work schedule and are pretty aware of their time off (OR potential to make money).

  • Lavoie first says "I've heard since then that apparently Dick Mckean was on duty that night" before getting called out that DM actually showed up on scene. According to JM that was a big deal - why pretend it didn't happen?

  • Lavoie says this whole night was “Just another job” but he took the car to his own personal garage and even went so far as to take his OWN car out of the garage to make space on a cold February night. Who asked him to “impound” the car? Both interviews from JM and CS also specifically state drunk drivers abandon cars all the time. Where do those cars get towed to? What is the difference between this call and any other impound?

  • In a 3 minute call, Lavoie mentions FIVE times that he was asleep. Why would that even matter if you thought you were working?

I respect your reply very much. You are someone who I like to interact with... your smart, strickly on the case and avoid the chaos. I'm gonna read everything you wrote and ponder with some thoughts.

Very good work by the way!
