Has anyone else found it odd how Stacey's car ended up at that motel parking lot? I can't help but wonder why it was left just blocks away from her workplace instead of somewhere more discreet or further away. It's almost like someone wanted it to be found, but why? The fact that her purse was left inside makes it even more puzzling. With the credit card usage that followed, I can't help but think there might have been more people involved than just Larry Wade. It’s baffling how surveillance footage didn’t give any definitive answers. Anyone have any theories about how her car got there or why?
I've been thinking a lot about the fact that Stacey's car was found at a motel so close to her work. It's always puzzled me why it ended up there of all places. There must be a reason, right? Was it a rushed decision by the perpetrator, or could it have been staged to look like something it wasn't? Motels are pretty transient spots, so maybe it was chosen intentionally for that reason. And then, there’s her purse left inside the car—did whoever did this just not care about taking it, or was it left on purpose as some kind of distraction? Just feels like this part of the case still has some unanswered questions. Would love to hear if anyone else has thoughts on this angle.
Has anyone else looked into the timeline discrepancies in Stacey Balas' case? I know Larry Wade confessed, but it's always puzzled me how her credit card was being used multiple times after her disappearance. Was it ever confirmed that it was him using it, or could someone else have been involved? Maybe there's a possibility of a second party using her card without knowing her fate or perhaps an accomplice? I'm curious if there were any other leads that weren't thoroughly investigated back then. Anyone got thoughts or additional info on this?
