A trip somewhere, could generally have been talked about for that weekend, but any actual destination plans, or travel itinerary may have been strictly a "spur of the moment" thing. It's a possibility, anyway, IMO.
Did I miss something?
I don't recall the prosecution suggesting that she had been placed there later. They seem to be sticking with the 2/1-2 time period. In fact, wasn't it one of their witnesses who brought out the fact that the drag marks were such that their was no way to be construed as a body being dragged. The drag marks were more in line and size with an animal having pulled out insides then dropping them and dragging them.
You all, Don Knotts basically contradicted all of the other evdence, saying the body could have been discarded on Jan. 23rd - 25th or January 31st! Feldmanized! She wasn't even dead then.
Judge Mudd is going to come to a resolution of whatever issue is before them..no one wants to disclose it on the Rick Roberts show. It's a mystery...Do we love a mystery? Oh yeah.

Run TED BUNDY PORNOGRAPHY through a search engine and you will find lots of studys linking pornography and crime. Having said that I'm not sure that I don't agree with you. But here is an excerpt from an interview:

What we learned from Ted Bundy
In the last few hours prior to his widely-publicized execution for the murder of as many as 50 young women and girls from Utah, Washington, Idaho, Colorado and Florida, the serial killer asked Christian psychologist James Dobson to visit him at the Florida State Prison. Bundy had corresponded with Dr. Dobson - a former member of President Reagan's Commission on Pornography - for two years prior to their meeting. While anxious reporters waited outside, Bundy told Dobson about the influence of pornography on his behavior.
Bundy said he began casually reading soft-core pornography when he was 12 or 13 years old. His friends found pornographic books in the garbage cans in his neighborhood: "(F)rom time to time we would come across pornographic books of a harder nature ... a more graphic, explicit nature than we would encounter at the local grocery store," he told Dobson in the taped interview. "But slowly throughout the years reading pornography began to become a deadly habit.
"My experience with pornography ... is once you become addicted to it, (and I look at this as a kind of addiction like other kinds of addiction), I would keep looking for more potent, more explicit, more graphic kinds of material. Like an addiction, you keep craving something that is harder, something which gives you a greater sense of excitement. Until you reach a point where the pornography only goes so far, you reach that jumping off point where you begin to wonder if maybe actually doing it would give you that which is beyond just reading or looking at it."
Within a few years, those latent desires fueled by pornography were expressed through his first murder. Although Bundy said he did not blame pornography, he explained that pornographic materials shaped and molded his behavior. He also warned the nation that "the most damaging kinds of pornography ... are those that involve violence and sexual violence. Because the wedding of those two forces, as I know only too well, brings out the hatred that is just, just too terrible to describe."
Bundy said that pornography "snatched me out of my home 20, 30 years ago ... and pornography can reach out and snatch a kid out of any house today." His religious training and morality initially restrained him from acting out his fantasies, but he confessed that finally, "I couldn't hold back anymore."
Alcohol supposedly broke the restraints for him to commit his first murder. "What alcohol did in conjunction with exposure to pornography is (sic) alcohol reduced my inhibitions at the same time the fantasy life that was fueled by pornography eroded them further."

Never heard that before. Can you support it with evidence? Was it testified as so, in the courtroom?
In the preliminary hearing, Damon said he wanted to "test" the alarm chip to see if it could be neutralized, so he stuck a child's magnet on it and sure enough it caused the device not to work. It also had a second effect, i.e., the magnetization at the very least would have wiped the chip clean and at worst have completely screwed it up.
