Has anyone else looked into the timeline of events on the day April Ann Cooper went missing? There's something that's been bugging me about the day she disappeared. April was with her mom at the thrift store, and then Billy Bannister reportedly offered to babysit her.
Does anyone know more about the interaction he had with April's mom when he picked her up? I'm curious about how well they actually knew him and if there was any hesitation about leaving April with him, given his past. Was there any mention of him acting strangely at the thrift store that day or anything else that seemed off about him before April left for the arcade? Bannister's behavior at the wedding the next day was definitely alarming, but I wonder if there were any red flags prior to April’s disappearance that might have been dismissed back then.
Would love to hear what others think about this or if anyone has come across any additional information that hasn't been widely discussed.
Hey everyone, I've been diving back into the case of April Ann Cooper and something keeps nagging at me about Bannister's behavior after her disappearance. Attending a family wedding the day after April went missing, and in dirt-covered clothes no less, is just bizarre to me. It’s like he didn’t even try to hide the fact that something was off, almost like he wanted people to notice him. I can't help but wonder if this was calculated or just reckless behavior. Do you think he was trying to throw off suspicion by showing up in such a state, or was he really that careless? Would love to hear your thoughts on this aspect.
