I think the stripper's story doesn't add up either, but here's one little technical detail that may be important.

In the 911 call she says "it's me and my black girlfriend, and the guy -- there's like a white guy by the Duke wall". I assume she's talking about the wall that surrounds Duke's East Campus. N. Buchanan Blvd. runs north-south along the eastern boundary of Duke's East Campus which is the boundary closest to Durham. The "Duke wall" runs along the western side of Buchanan Blvd.

The address in question, 610 N. Buchanan St., is on the opposite side of the street, that is to say the eastern side of the street. It is on the northeast corner of an intersection where Dacian Ave. makes a "T" intersection with Buchanan Blvd. Actually, there's a traffic entry onto campus at that point so if you're westbound on Dacian Ave. you can go straight, crossing N. Buchannan Blvd., and enter campus. So there's a break in the "Duke wall" at that location. (If you didn't get that, then look it up on maps.google.com and it'll become clear.)

So, if the guy she says is yelling at her is "by the Duke wall", then he's not at 610 N. Buchanan Blvd., but somewhere on the western side of Buchanan Blvd. If the party goers scattered, then this is one location to which they could have fled, i.e. they fled across N. Buchanan Blvd. and back onto campus. So by the time she called, the party could have mostly been broken up.

I don't know how this modifies the time line but it's worth thinking about.

"Kim" says in the call she's parked out in front of the house "right now". Yet, LE appears two minutes later and no one seems to be there. If the caller was there as she said, she'd have known the party had already broken up.

Thanks for explaining that.

I guess this saintly carjacker/stripper has figured out that she can make quicker cash by suing Duke than by renting herself out for dances and favors for the next twenty years. What a conniver!

Thoughtful post....... you sound like you'd make a good detective.

Now .......... open up Ambrose Evans-Pritchard's "The Secret Life of Bill Clinton" and read pages 167 through 170. Then tell me why William Kennedy III and Craig Livingstone had to leave the Fairfax County Hospital in only one car, after they arrived in two different cars.

Hmmm ........ maybe they displaced one of their sets of keys in someone's pants?
