Exactly. He is carrying her in view of houses on both sides of the street, then ACROSS the street to his house, where he is then in possible view of other neighbors.
I cannot get this clear in my head....he has allegedly kidnapped her from her room, possibly raped her in her room with no one hearing a sound. He then makes it through the house undetected, and out the door, then through a gate. Is she dead at this time? I would think the walking down the stairs, then outside to the cold air, would have awakened her (unless she is already deceased at this point).
Others have stated that he most likely remained until 0930 before leaving for the desert as he "didn't want to attract attention"...but what about the possible attention he was attracting waltzing through the neighborhood with his victim????
But how could he have known that the girl would not have been discovered missing until 0900? How could he not have thought that maybe the parents would have noticed earlier (3:30, 4, 5, 6, 7), and called the cops then, who would have started searching neighborhood houses earlier while he was still there, his victim in the RV for cops to find? Criminals (not that I know) usually want to get away from a scene, not hang around and risk detection.
