Has anyone read how the speckle-faced murderer knew where the on-location news team would be? Either he followed them from the station in Roanoke to Smith Mountain Lake or someone inside let him know the time and place of the interview.
I think letting him know goes too far.
I’m going to go with follow. It is not hard. If you’re looking for a news van, you can see it miles away.
They’re still trying to figure it out. They’re thinking, since Alison did early morning interviews, that all he had to do was watch & see where she was, then go to that location.
Something I think is a possibility .... he had rented a car. The folks at the station knew who he was and that he was ‘trouble’ & if he’d been caught hanging around the station, it would have been concerning. In a car they didn’t recognize, he could have staked out the station & followed the news crew to the location. I saw one report that the car had been rented almost a month prior - maybe he was stalking this early morning crew until finally there was a location he liked for the ‘hit’. He needed a location where he could film without other people being around and alerting the crew and/or interrupting his plan. Often, when crews are filming, people stop and watch. There was no one immediately around at this location & it worked out perfectly for what he intended. Just a thought.
And afterwards he was headed in the direction of Washington DC
Either he followed them from the station in Roanoke to Smith Mountain Lake or someone inside let him know the time and place of the interview.
Now, there's food for thought...
They had done a live shot from the same place an hour earlier.
