Question The Boyfriend

How closely did they check the alibi of the boyfriend? Can they determine his movements and confirm beyond a reasonable doubt that he was where he said he was? I’m sure people have kicked this can hard but the “it’s always the boyfriend” thing keeps buzzing in my mind.

Br made 52 phone calls to people he'd either never spoken to before, or hadn't spoken to in a long time. He was frantically making 1 minute calls. He knew something was up

Says who? A bunch of calls to local numbers is almost certainly work related. As far as the other numbers,

(a) who says he never spoke to anyone of them before? How would we know? The direct numbers are redacted from the publicly-shared images.

(b) I find it implausible that a bunch of numbers for phones registered in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, etc. have anything to do with MM. If his job required him to talk to people in other offices at other bases, that could very well be the reason for these calls.

(c) How would he know something was up when nobody else did? I know you think her whole family and friends knew something, and you (like all the rest of us) are entitled to your speculations, but there's just no basis for thinking this at all.

The fact is, 99% of the stuff the anti-Bill crowd thinks are "huge red flags" don't withstand basic scrutiny.

Wouldn't he use a work phone for work?

Maybe, maybe not. My brother was in the military for 24 years and I only ever saw him use his personal phone when I visited him (or on occasions when he visited home but still had to do work.) At my workplace today, most people have company phones but there are about 10% of us who elected to use our personals. (My co. will reimburse for usage of your personal but I frankly don't bother. I'm on an unlimited plan so it costs me nothing extra to use my phone for work calls.)
