I am a Fairfield resident, and I live within a few blocks of Katelyn's townhouse. I have never met Katelyn or John, but have taken up a keen interest in the story. It hits too close to home, literally.
My wife and I attended the prayer vigil last Friday and we came away saddened, and also very suspicious of John Carter.
Four people that knew Katelyn spoke. A co-worker, her father, John Carter, and then a classmate/close friend. The one that didn't seem right was Carter. The other three had visible tears streaming, and tremor in their voices. They were shaken. Carter was different. He sounded very rehearsed. Calculated. I saw not one visible tear, though he repeatedly stuck his fingers up behind his glasses as if he were wiping tears. My wife said "he is a bad actor", and I agree 100% with her. He was acting.
I hope the police/investigators are playing some head games in the media, and that Carter is in their crosshairs. Too much is being given as fact, facts that come solely from Carter's testimony. He says she was last seen at her townhouse and he says there was no argument and he says he could never hurt her and so on. What if he is lying about everything?
Here is my theory:
Katelyn is blossoming as a young adult. She is a success at work and in school, and her career is about to take off. This has made Carter insecure in general as his personal future doesn't seem as bright. Somehow she set him off. Maybe she didn't want to move or tried to call off the engagement, etc.
He goes off. He can't imagine life without her. They've been together for 6 years, he knows nothing else, and he has big plans to move with her (take her away perhaps?) to Colorado. All of these plans are threatened by something that she did or said and he completely loses it.
I think he killed her at a location, not her townhouse or either of their cars, and then dumped her/hid her somewhere not very close to the townhouse, and then planned the coverup. He drops off his phone at home (he is aware of the ping system) to put himself at his home, goes to her townhouse and collects items that could alert police as evidence that something had been rotten in Denmark. Written notes/journals, etc. He texts himself the picture (anyone with access to the phone could have done as much) to put her in the townhouse around midnight (when he was at home) and then turns off her phone and dumps it, puts the dog in the bedroom so there is some sign that something went wrong there.
Then he goes to burn up the collected items/potential evidence, cementing the alibi that he was not at the townhouse. He continues to text her the next day because he knows if he hadn't it would be later questioned. He rehearses the 911 call over and over and then calls and tries to deflect interest by mentioned the church festival.
He is active in the search as he is very comfortable with people searching the area around the townhouse. He knows she isn't there. He openly tells of burning documents as he knows it is suspicious especially if he doesn't come forward with it. He thinks he is very smart, actually is he smart by most definitions IMO.
He has an ego for sure, but unfortunately he is a "bad actor" and I predict he ends up playing the role of murderer before too long.
