I searched the sub and didn’t find much on this theory, but I’ll still caveat if with .. I’m sure someone has thought of it, and it may have already been discussed. Unlike some criminals, I don’t think I have a ton of original thought 😂.

Anyway…
IMO, police didn’t issue a BOLO to the public until 12/7/22 because the Door Dash vehicle was possibly a “vehicle of interest” prior to that date. Like the Elantra, the DD vehicle was likely captured on surveillance. It may have even been “Suspect Vehicle 2” at one point.

Of course, this ignores the possibility that BK was the driver, as I don’t think that is the case..

Why?

—A warrant was sent to Bank of America in November 2022, and was returned on 12/6/2022.

—A warrant was sent to Door Dash on 12/6/2022 at 3:14pm 3:35pm, and was returned the next day.

—On the same day the Door Dash warrant was returned (12/7/22), Moscow PD issued a Press Release stating that they were looking for a the White Hyundai Elantra identified by the FBI car expert. Not sure what time it was issued, but Brian Entin tweeted about it at 3:01pm on 12/7/22.

I assume that the Bank of America warrant returns (or possibly the warrant returns from another bank) triggered the police to issue a warrant to Door Dash. Once they had the Door Dash information, they were able to identify the driver that delivered to King Rd that night, interview them, and eliminate them as a suspect. Then, they were down to one vehicle — Suspect Vehicle 1.

Also, IMO, the TAT for the Door Dash warrant seems pretty quick compared to some of the others, but I have no idea what DD’s typical TAT is, so that doesn’t mean much without that information. It’s just something I noted — perhaps they asked them to expedite it.

What do you think??
