I don't know that he was even robbed before leaving Wilmington for the last time. Perhaps he imagined it when he couldn't find his briefcase and his mind struggled to piece together an explanation of what was going on.
Not to mention the news report today about the new cabbie coming forward and saying he picked him up on the 29th!
The date of that is odd, especially.
Much of these things are known by the police. We can only speculate.
Maybe it wasn’t his car, but something in the car. If he had papers from his lawyer on the 13th, he may have put them in the trunk or glove box to pick up later so he wouldn’t be carrying them around while he traveled. We don’t know if he didn’t find his car on the evening of the 29th or morning of the 30th.
Why did he go to the SBA? He wasn’t planning on starting a business, but across the street?
