Did you read that somewhere? I didn’t hear that’s why he abandoned his truck. If this is true it puts to rest the theory he burned it to throw the police off.
It has been reported that the axle is broken, but it is unclear if it was broken before or after removal. I don’t know if this shows more incompetence on the part of the LAPD or the news media. It is also reported this morning that the truck may have been stuck in the mud. This too shows incompetence on someone’s part, but is it the police or the reporters? One would think a police report of the scene before removal would have noted such things with certainty.
It was a news story for two days.
