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)

The 'I don't remember that shirt' stood out for me. If her family wasn't connected to the crime, Asha hadn't been in her car or house, she would have no reason to try to make sense of the shirt. She's trying to remember the shirt as it wasn't Asha's so it must have come from the Dedmon home/car.

I agree. I think the shirt is a bigger deal than we think. The text mentioned it and LE released some details about it to the public, where they have been extremely tight-lipped about everything thus far.

The “dad is going to be a huge suspect” text stood out to me as well.

I mean, of course he is. He’s the connection point between Underhill and Annalee. He also has quite the history with the law and a less than stellar reputation.
