I just can't remember exactly what it was about those shoes and the explanation officially given, but by it self should have been a reason to question further before writing it off as accidental. At least investigate it!
Me too--I just know and have never forgotten they didn't make sense. And even though I was not on the old site as long as the rest of you, we discussed it at length either here or there. No way, no how did it add up, at least not for me.
Not all speculation is more believable than police or death determination, even in a botched case or messed up case but I think in this one, other theories make far more sense than theirs, even IF I don't remember what theirs was, I remember it did not add up with the facts or pictures like this.
Just going with the white shoes, this looks like someone or a group put him into this rolled up mat--or they dared him or someone got him to go in head first. They then threw the white shoes in behind him or placed them just as likely and not too near the end, they don't want him found nor the shoes.
Without going too far into the black shoes, something happened and there is blood. The mat was the way to get rid of him/hide him. He/they realize two pairs of his shoes are there and no one will believe he left the building of his own accord shoeless. Throwing the white shoes in leaves only one pair so not only he, but his shoes are missing. He could have left, been taken, etc., just went missing... Or--I don't recall enough about the black ones so either they were hurriedly dealt with or it was not realized they were there or something on that order.
This screams a cover up by perps. Not a well thought out one but with an investigation like this (further cover up?) I guess it worked. Problem is he was found and two pairs of shoes were... So then the story becomes, it has to, any possible way they can explain that and shove it under the rug--or in this case under the mat so to speak.
I can't remember all but I am going to look again at some point at the info in this case so what I just put as a scenario might not totally fit but I know that to me, someone else was involved and probably a few someones. That much I know I thought and came to that conclusion over a thorough knowledge of or look at the case at that time.
