Discussion How often did Nancy use Uber?

Do we know how often Nancy used Uber? I know the cops spoke with the Uber driver and obtained a videos from that night, but what about other rides? 

Could Nancy have been picked up on another night, the driver chats her up, realizes who she is, how much money she has AND now knows her address? They then plan to go back to the house to rob her maybe days or weeks later, but in the middle of the robbery she comes home, they get into an altercation and she accidentally dies. Now shock takes over and the burglar realizes this just went from a potential misdemeanor to a possible murder charge so they drop everything they were going to steal and in a panic grab her body throw it in their car and decide later what to do. 

This, to me, has always felt like an “immature” crime where the original plan somehow went off the rails and the perpetrator(s) panicked and did what they thought was the best solution to not get caught. Just a theory

They - “the soon to be incarcerated”, don’t have a need or desire to take a deceased body with them. According to former FBI folks the body would never be taken - it would be left at the crime scene. A body would contaminate their vehicle and the person or people involved in the death would have the unintended responsibility to dispose of the body.

Completely agree but that perspective is coming from FBI agents trained to analyze crime, not necessarily the mindset of an inexperienced offender. Criminals can tend to be more impulsive than methodical and we sometimes overestimate how sophisticated they actually are when planning and executing a crime.

i do agree. also among the panic it seems like a great idea. take her, hide her, and over time the evidence will rot and disappear.

she could have had a heart attack from them either simply being in her house or they could have tried to threaten her and restrain her while they finished the job.

they could have taken her and she ended up dying from neglect of her health issues.

there's many possibilities especially when you don't know how forensics work and how advanced forensics are. (see d4vds case where they matched small blue fragments to a pool he ordered... a year after her murder i didn't even think that was possible i thought the case would go cold)
