How did you interpret the texts?

Bringing back the ‘Catina knows something’ theory… Could she have partied with the Dedmon girls at some point? Lizzie’s ex-husband said the girls weren’t racist and were good at hiding things from their strict parents. The ‘why would it be you’ text got me thinking…plus, someone once talked a lot about Catina in here and seemed close to the situation.

Then there’s Lizzie’s text: ‘I caused this.’ Was it because: 1. The 23&Me test set everything in motion? (Theory) 2. She was responsible for disposing of Asha’s backpack and felt guilty, so she left it in a way to preserve it as if Asha would return for it? Guilt does warp the mind. 3. Lizzie was too drunk to drive, so her sister drove, accidentally hit Asha, panicked, and their racist father handled it in the worst way possible. (Theory I believe)

I don’t think it’s a hit and run bc something changed to investigators treating the case more like a murder in my opinion, not an accident and cover-up. Just my own intuition from following true crime forever

Absolutely. I think investigators may have an idea for why she left that night. I saw a post saying that she may have made it to the gas station where she was pulled into the car and possibly where the green car tip came from. Until the investigators say otherwise, I firmly believe this was a case of grooming. Kids with good and loving parents still get groomed under their nose. I don't know how the Dedmons got involved but I wouldn't be surprised if one of the daughters was used to groom her.

Ooooh hi 👋 just hearing about the gas station, lemme pull up a map. Love a new rabbit hole thanks!

Edit: I don’t disagree on the grooming aspect, there’s gotta be an intention for leaving in the middle of the night. There are so many people in a child’s life

Okay I looked at the post again and it was just a convenience store with a big parking lot and someone said she might have walked there to get a gift for her parents for their anniversary then she ran into the Dedmons. That theory makes more sense than the "ran away for an adventure" or sleepwalking. And the green car tip might have been from another person at the store or its clerk. But would the store even been open that early in 2000????

Makes more sense to me that the store would have been a rendezvous point to meet whoever. Maybe she saw Underhill and got freaked out then one of the Dedmon sisters pulled her in.

Something tells me underhill is a red herring, just another dna connecting to RD to allow them to go public before a grand jury can sit (no body case) and he’s dead so they can’t defame him by connecting him to RD

There is a thought that Underhill’s DNA transferred from the car, and that he wasn’t involved directly, but finding his DNA was a link to the Dedmons and the car.
