Who's telling the truth? | Crime Junkie AF | Forensic Files

what is Karen's memory I don't know because I will say again first we get this story and it might have been her
lawyer saying this was an accident she doesn't remember but we have people who were initially with her the two women in
the car saying something to the effect of of of her giving them a statement I don't even remember going to Brian's
like I last thing I remember was being at the waterfall like I don't remember last night then she has a story a memory
so oh and in the first story by the way she had didn't plan to go to Brian's even or I guess the second story when
she remembered that they were going to go there I don't know yeah it was like I was just going to drop him off and leave
anyway because I was having stomach issues right I'm going to drop them off I'm going to leave I'm having stomach
issues and then the second time around it's her story is and this is what she told Nightline was I didn't know if we
were invited I didn't actually again we don't know Brian Albert personally I didn't hear him invite me or invite John
so we're going there but I didn't want to just like walk into the house like of someone I don't know so understand yeah
get it so she said I told John like go in and make sure it's cool for us to be here so she said she's waiting in the
car and waiting in the car and he's not coming and not coming and so then she finally gets pissed and is like oh he
just ditched me and forgot that I'm sitting here waiting for him and so she leaves do I love that the story changed
absolutely not do I understand they're already having problems can you picture her leaving that voicemail when she
thinks he ditched her while she's waiting outside for him yeah those connections could totally be made and I
want to go back and look at the situation where it is John texting Jennifer mccab to coordinate the meeting
up at Brian Albert's house like after the bar I think some people on that face would go well wait a minute like if
Karen and John had these sort of issues about these things she's claiming in this voicemail like John texting you
know another woman even in Friendly like Hey we're all having a party come back to my house like you could see where
that might escalate right in a in a in a drunken state where it's like you went into this house you didn't come back you
were texting this other person like this other woman I think that like right to your point like that could all feed into
I'm going to make these nasty voicemails and then peace out and you're you're drunk we know you nothing is better with
alcohol yeah no and late at night so so she claims that she left that she was trying to text and call him she ends up
falling asleep on the couch and then it's 4:30 in the morning when she again wakes up realizes he's not there she
goes to get his niece to call Jennifer McCabe and then you know everything else is pretty much the same
