Not if there was someone else driving the vehicle and TMH was elsewhere (e.g. in the school until 8:45). People might still remember the white truck, and evidently they do. Maybe TMH figured the vehicle wouldn't be associated with her and that was her mistake.
Hmmm, Tyler said he saw the truck. He knew it was Terri’s. It’s not clear if he saw it outside the gym or at what time. If so, that would put it in the parking lot and not on the street.
That small of school, the kids know everybody’s vehicles. Our school is much larger and believe me, the kids see and know everything. There’s always half a dozen, usually those labeled as troublemakers, who are especially all knowing. Probably because they tend to get “lost” two steps out their classroom and end up wandering (exploring) around the school until the principal hollers at them. That’s who LE should have interviewed first thing. I would believe them over parents or teachers any day.
