This confuses me (surprise!), he had just come from the cleaners the 2nd time on 2/4, in his SUV...the 1st 2 receipts are there but the 3rd isn't??

Unless they took those 2 receipts the morning they talked to him..prior to him going to the cleaners the 2nd time...and without a warrant.??

No I think one from 1/26 was there and the 2nd from 2/4 was there (in the SUV). The one(s) from the morning would have been in the MH and I'm not sure they found those.

Rheo, Are you the one that posted that Barb Easton owns some property up at Big Bear? We know that Bill Libby has a cabin at Big Bear.

If true, that would be very revealing.

Maybe DVD didn't go to Big Bear on Friday, because he knew that Barb would not be up there.

DW concealed the first trip to the drycleaners from the police. The affidavit reveals that it was not until 2/6 that he finally told about taking in the bedding.

Under cross-exam by Boyce, Torgersen states that when shown the 2/4 receipt Mills brought out the black pants, t-shirt and sweater. This tells me that that receipt corresponds to trip #2. He got a search warrant after confirming that was the establishment he was looking for. He had information at this time that the bedding was there from DW's statement earlier that same day so was able in the affidavit to state he was looking for bedding. Upon returning 2/7 with warrant he picked up all items brought in on 2/4, which were the bedding and green jacket from trip #1 and the black clothing from trip #2.

The items brought in on 1/26 were no longer at the establishment. In fact, I am not aware the 1/26 visit was introduced into evidence at all. The only reference I've heard is in Feldman's close, so it is irrelevant, except that it was a clue leading the detectives to which drycleaners DW frequented.
