Highway 49: Victor Creel and the Car Crash
So, I was combing back through the Indianapolis Gazette article about the Creel murders, and I noticed something:
“Auto Blunder To Blame For Outage
Jordan Manson Peck, 23, was driving his Chevy late last night on Highway 49, when he claims the ‘steering cut out,’ causing him to lose control of the vehicle and slam into a power line, which subsequently disrupted electricity service to over 1000 members of Hawkins.
Peck was arrested under suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol and is being held on a $750 dollar bail.
The power outage comes amidst (blank) outages caused by-“
The power pole east of Hawkins was cut in two by a (blank) (blank) by Jordan Manson Peck (blank), Friday night. The power lines had to be cut (blank) before the lines could be repaired, and power to Crab Orchard and rural Marion area were halted for several hours. Peck was not seriously injured.”
“The bodies were discovered early Sunday morning after Creel was found wandering aimlessly along the side of Highway 49, South of Hawkins.”
That car crash happened on the same highway where Victor was found wandering. However, the car crash/power outage occurred “last night,” according to the Gazette, which, would have been Wednesday, March 25th, as the newspaper was published on Thursday, March 26th.
Victor, however, was found wandering along the side of the road Sunday morning, on Sunday, March 22nd.
But also, why does that one section say “Friday night” regarding the car crash? So, we have two different dates for the car crash- we have “last night” and “Friday night,” and the date on the paper is Thursday, March 26th.
“Friday night,” and “last night”, likely arent the same day and instead “last night,” being the 25th (creel murders date) in henry timeline) whereas “friday night,” could have been Friday the 20th (with the creel murders happening on the 21st/the paper ACTUALLY being published the 22nd).
But this gets even weirder, because if we ignore the “friday night,” part and focus on the “last night”, part, and assume that the date on the paper (Thursday march 26th) is correct, then “last night” would have been Wednesday, March 25th- which is the night of the Creel murders in Henry’s timeline/in the Dear Billy script.
The Indianapolis Gazette (the paper that mentions Edward) says that Jordan’s crash/the power outage happened on both
This Indianapolis Gazette article was published on Thursday March 26th, 1959.
Which would make “last night” Wednesday, March 25th, 1959 (the date of the Creel murders in the Henry timeline/Dear Billy script), and which would make “Friday night,” Friday, March 20th, 1959.
What if we combine “last night” with “Friday night”, in the sense of “l night,” being the same as “last night,”? Well, if we set the publication date of the paper aside, that would make “last night,” Friday March 20th, making the publication date of the paper Saturday March 21st (the date of the Creel murders according to the Gazette/in the Edward timeline). Which doesn’t work because the Indianapolis Gazette claims that the bodies were found Sunday morning, meaning that the Gazette couldn’t have been published on Saturday, March 21st. But it COULD have been published on the 22nd, which would track with “friday night,” and the march 26th publication date on the the indianapolis gazette being wrong.
There’s just something very strange about the Weekly Watcher and the Indianapolis Gazette both supposedly being published on the same day (March 26th 1959):
And yet, the Weekly Watcher (which mentions Henry), is published and talking about Victor’s trial only one day after the murders occurred in Henry’s timeline, which doesn’t make sense, because Victor didn’t go to trial overnight.
Dear Billy script- Henry exists, murders happened on the 25th
Weekly watcher- Henry exists, was published on the 26th.
So, there’s no way that the Weekly Watcher and Dear Billy are the same timeline, because Victor’s trial didn’t happen in the span of a single night.
It’s also interesting that Jordan was deemed under the influence of drugs on the highway- and then we also have Victor, who was likely drugged by the lab.
And the section that specifically mentions Highway 49 for Jordan is also the section that mentions “last night,” which if the paper was published on the 26th (the day after the murders in Henrys timeline) would mean that Jordan was on the highway on the night of the 25th (the night the murders happened in the Dear Billy timeline)
Long story short: what the fuck is going on here? Why does it say that Jordan’s accident both happened “last night,” and “friday night,” when “last night” would have been a wednesday, not a friday?
“Last night,” from the 26th (the day this paper was supposedly published) is the night of the Creel murders in Henry’s timeline/the 25th.
Whereas “friday night,” would only really work if this paper was actually published on Sunday, March 22nd, as that was the morning after the Creel murders, and Friday night had just happened.
It’s so weird. Something’s going on here.
