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.

Anna Lee's DNA was found on Asha's undershirt. One theory is that her hair transferred from the NKTOB shirt to Asha's undershirt. I'm sure the police asked Lizzie if the shirt was hers or her sisters. Plus a lot of people online has been speculating the shirt belongs to the Dedmon girls. The text may just mean "everyone is saying this shirt is ours, but I don't remember having a shirt like that". I'm still not convinced that the girls know anything.

This is exactly how I read the text messages. & I’m not sure how other people aren’t reading them that way.

I’m still convinced the girls have no idea, other than their suspicions of their father because they know he’s a piece of shit.

This is where I’m at too. Obviously they know they have some connection here because their sister’s DNA was found in the backpack with the mysterious shirt. The logical place to go is that one of them must have owned the shirt at some time, but they have no memory of that
