Slightly Less Perplexed

Finally, a little clarification perhaps to one of the many perplexing aspects of this case:

One of those perplexing bits are the phone calls back-and-forth in the early morning of the crime. Two texts from Faith's phone go to BME, who had a past relationship with KR, essentially urging him to come over because KR (who supposedly left The Thrill sick) needs him (if she felt sick, seems odd that she departs the apt. in an hour instead of staying home and simply going to bed!)
Then we have 4 short calls from KR back to BME (at least that's long been my interpretation, but perhaps it is someone else)… is she confirming that he's coming over? telling him NOT to come over?? arguing??? or what…? Then KR leaves, picked up by JM, referred to in some reports, as a current boyfriend. [One emailer to me proposed that perhaps BME indeed came over that morning, only to arrive to see KR leaving with another man, possibly sending BME into a rage? I've never seen any clear indication that BME did venture back out after seeing Faith and KR at The Thrill that morning -- and am more comfortable now discounting this scenario, given what follows below.] BME is another individual who was interrogated early on, his car and apt. searched -- what his answers were to various questions, I have no idea, but he didn't seem much pursued by law enforcement later on. However, a couple of dots have finally connected for me:

Press reports mentioned a text from BME back to Faith's phone at 4:16pm asking, "Who is this?" (following FDH's 2 texts to him) -- that made no sense to me, since Faith's texts to him were a full 12+ hours earlier, and by 4:16pm Faith's death had been long-reported. SO, I simply assumed the time was a misprint, intended to be 4:16AM, which would make more sense, and I've reported it that way ever since. NO NO! It now seems clear the reports were right, and BME texted in late afternoon (keep in mind, people don't always receive texts right when they are sent). But here's the key clarification:

In his 2-yr.-anniversary tribute note on Instagram to Faith (referenced earlier: http://instagram.com/p/sp7Jcvu49F/ ) BME writes (talking about the day of the crime, 2 yrs. earlier), "I remember right at that moment when out of nowhere a text came from you saying to be there for your best friend. I was scared then but I know that message came from an angel." -- AH HAH!, apparently BME didn't receive Faith's early morning texts until late afternoon, by which time he already knew she was dead (and 'an angel'), and then, confused by receiving those texts at that time, typed back, "Who is this?" -- that inquiry, which originally seemed cryptic, now makes sense.
[I realize there are other more nefarious interpretations one could place on the whole Instagram note, but I'll opt for the simplest explanation. Having said that, it is odd that BME refers to KR as "your friend," almost as if disowning his entire prior relationship with KR.]

Anyway, what all this implies for me is that BME did not head over to KR's apt. that morning, because he didn't even receive Faith's texts/requests in time.

One perplexing element down... 1001 more to resolve... including, of course, WHO DID head over to the Hawthorne apt.?
