I'm not sure when investigators notice it, like before or after Andy's body is found, I mean.

But reporting for KHOU 11 says that a golf club and golf balls from Andy's car had been like laid out in the field in like this line that was pointing to Cheryl's body, which to me is just like extremely weird.

And clearly like someone wanted them to be found.

Now, I think it's helpful at this point if we talk through the scene in terms of like likely series of events, because spoiler alert, answers are hard to come by in the coming years.

And there's not a ton of reporting on how it all would have unfolded.

The broad strokes are this.

The thinking is that there's some kind of blitz attack when the two are in the car and somehow they're then taken to the tree that Andy was tied to.

That's something that investigators are going to debate for years.

It could be either, I think.

Again, I think the thing that's clear is that it started with the attack on Andy in the car because of all the blood that's on the door.

Right.

Right.

Right.

Right.

One way or another, their hands get tied behind their back.

Remember, Andy doesn't have defensive wounds.

So either he's cooperating because, again, there's a threat to hurt Cheryl or him, or he's incapacitated and can't even fight back.

And then Cheryl either makes a run for it and they catch up to her or they walk her to a different area.

But when they get her over there, they cut off her clothes, assault her and kill her there where she was found.

According to reporting for KHLU 11, investigators tell Garland that they do think for some reason that she was killed first.
