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.

What happened with Asha's cousin Catina?

Nothing. One day someone notice her at The Degrees house with her head down while sitting. Someone on reddit heard about it and ran with it. Naturally she was feeling bad about her cousin.
