I was wondering a similar scenario. I think it makes a lot of sense. I think she was killed at the orchard too. I wonder if she went to the party to meet up with some former students. But they were all really wasted and may have been talking about how cute the former teacher was. There may have been more than one person at the party with a "crush" on their former teacher., Tara Then she comes to the party just to drop by and have some much needed fun. But by this time, her former students were all riled up and wasted. Someone could have spiked her drink and then someone (or some people) could have tried to sexually assaulted her. And God knows what happened after that.The date many years after the murder (?) with Bo where the woman said Bo tied her to pecan tree seemed really spooky too. I also remember one of the early episodes where someone said Tara called them and was sobbing. I thought the phone call was that night but I may have been wrong. . Don't k now the if these time frames all fit. You all are following the details much better than I am. But as I am casually listening to all this - it just is a scenario that seems to fit to me.
Yes to both scenarios. And definitely must include the sexual assault aspect by Bo or why would he go to ALL the trouble of destroying her body? She had to have evidence on her that implicated Bo. He seems like a fairly lazy dude so to go through all the risk and trouble of burning Tara's body I believe he must have been highly motivated to do so. Therefore I suspect that his bodily fluids were on her. Which fits with his subsequent charges.
Go back and listen to episode 1, when Payne spoke to his grandmother about her conversation with Melba... he was told she was going to visit a former student before going to the BBQ.
there are to many inconsistenc's in this case it would be easier to explain it if it happened somewhere other than here home ( the dog for me is a big problem ) but until ryan tells the truth we will most likely never know. you cant make a case fit a scenario just because it makes more sense. thats how inecent people get wrongly convicted
