00:00:00
Like the feeling everyone says they get is that it's like he knew what route she
00:00:04
took home. And if he knew there were only a couple of options of how that could have happened.
00:00:11
One, Anita misremembered and she actually did tell him or let it slip and he had more to go off of.
00:00:19
Or two, and the theory that police seem to be hinting at, Rick followed Bonnie that night.
00:00:28
And it wasn't just the fact that he knew her route home that made them think that.
00:00:33
It's actually something John ends up telling them later on. I get why investigators are suspicious. Yes, we
00:00:40
know from John that Bonnie took 62nd Street home and that's the last place he saw her as they waved goodbye. But how
00:00:46
would Rick know that? I mean, he's saying he's checking all the routes, right? >> Sure, but then he doesn't? Like 62nd
00:00:56
Street is the one that he calls out specifically to investigators. And later in the interview he explains, "Well, you
00:01:02
know, like she was most familiar with this route because of like X, Y, and Z reasons." Which all the reasons were
00:01:07
valid. And in 1997, this is a time before Google Maps, so like I kind of get that gut instinct off the back. But
00:01:13
you've been down 62nd Street. Turns into Broad Ripple Avenue, which has like this
00:01:17
strip of restaurants, bars, where like all the college kids go. At least where the college kids used to go. I don't
00:01:22
know what's cool anymore. But it's like very busy on the weekend. >> So he says his reason for not checking
00:01:28
for 65, which is one of our major highways, is that like, "Oh, well, if there was an accident, then [music]
00:01:33
police would have seen that." But like if that's your reasoning, I'm pretty sure the same can be said for that area.
00:01:40
>> 62nd, yeah. And like sure, that busy road doesn't stretch all the way to her house. Like check the whole route, fine,
00:01:46
whatever. But check more. Yeah. So why doesn't he?
