McCabe–O'Keefe Texts — Arrival/Direction Messages (Jan 29 AM)
McCabe–O'Keefe texts from the arrival window: his 12:14 a.m. request for directions and her messages from 12:27 through 12:45, including 'pull behind me.'
About
The stipulated messages place O'Keefe's 'Where to?' at 12:14:27 AM on January 29, 2022, followed by McCabe's 'here!?' at 12:27:33, 'pull behind me' at 12:31:47, 'hello' at 12:40:31, 'where are u' at 12:42:09, and 'hello' at 12:45:53. McCabe testified that it was dark and snowing but that she could see the SUV in front of her from the storm door, with the lawn between them and the vehicle toward the flag pole. She said she focused on the SUV rather than the ground or all surroundings, did not look for a body, and was looking into the back seat rather than at the lawn when leaving. Jackson's cross-examination advanced the stronger inference that this view raised a question about whether she could have seen O'Keefe's body later found on the lawn.
