We all know the story of James Owen as the only witness to say he saw a 2nd vehicle parked parallel to David's Rambler that night on Lake Herman Road, but was Owen trying to tell the police something by way of a hint when he told police they may like to speak with a Mr Prentiss (We'll call Mr. P) that resides at the apartments at the end of Springs Road and who, Owen said, drives past the crime scene on his way to work the graveyard shift? Let's look at what Owen said:
James Owen told police in his witness statement that he saw two vehicles, the one, David's rambler, he could tell you the color, the make & the model. The second vehicle, that of the probable offenders, He states he could not tell color, make, model, anything at all other than it was a vehicle.
Owen seems to realize that if he sticks to his first claim, that the 2 vehicle was parked 2 or 3 ft to the right of the rambler, that he surely must be able to discern some detail at least because if you can see the rambler and make out it's color and the offenders car is right next to it, surely you can see this car's color too. So Owen 'amend's' his 2 to 4 ft gap between vehicles and in his second statement he tells us the 2nd unidentified vehicle was now parked a whole 10 ft away to the right.
What could this all mean? Well, here's another 'what if' coming.
What if Owen does see a vehicle parked parallel to the Rambler and recognizes it as a Co-Workers, that being, Mr P's vehicle? Why would this make sense? Well when He's being questioned by police he seems to drop a hint by telling them that they may wish to speak with his colleague who works the night shift and drives that way to work. Well that's an odd thing to say when you stop and think about it because I would imagine there are many employees of Humble Oil who drove to work via that route. Why name this specific employee? Was he all but tryin to tell police that's who car was parked there?
The response of both the police, and this co-worker, are equally suspicious. Police all but tell James that they cannot be bothered to follow up on a tip given them by Himself, and request that James act on their behalf and question the co-worker for them. James seems to agree to question the co-worker on their behalf and Mr P, the Co-Worker, tells James that He did not drive to work via Lake Herman Road on that night. Distancing himself from the scene and the road itself?
The first interview Owen gives he states that Officers "may want to check with a Mr Prentiss, who lives at the apartments on the end of Springs Road, as he may have driven by the location last, as He also works the graveyard shift." Is he saying that Mr P was the last person to be at the location of the crime scene? How could he know who the last person was to drive by the scene before the attack? He'd have to know the time of the incident, and the first vehicle and person to drive by post-crime.
Either that or James knows the Co-Worker drove by last before the murders because he is the killer and was at the scene but out of sight and saw his co-worker's vehicle go by.
