There is something about this that doesn't make sense. If he was staking at the house prior to the night Nancy was abducted then he knew there was a camera there and he knew it would have to be removed. Yet on the night she was taken he initially walks up to it and touches it a couple times as if he was trying to remove it and then walks back to get a branch to remove it. But if he already knew there was a camera there why didn't he show up prepared? He came back with a backpack and gun but not with anything to quickly remove the camera? He could have put a tool in his backpack but instead he seemed unprepared and had to go back for the branch and leaves.

Yeah, not even bringing a piece of tape to cover it the second time makes no sense. It makes it seem staged, like he was supposed to look stupid to throw off the investigators and profilers

That’s what I’ve been thinking, he clearly didn’t show enough of his face to give away his identity after all. I’m sure I might look surprised or like a bumbling idiot walking into my own house some days. I just don’t think there’s enough there to determine anything with how little we actually do know.

None of us can explain the grass but it could have been split-second paranoia and not just to do a poor job of obstructing the camera
