A reader on FB pointed me to this video of Travis Forbes (thanks, DN).  He was last seen with Kenia Monge, 19, after he claims that he picked her up on the side of the road at 2:30 a.m. because she was crying and drunk.  His story is absolutely fishy when you listen to him tell it. It makes no sense whatsoever. If he was a good samaritan who wanted to help a young, vulnerable girl, he wouldn’t drop her off to smoke with some dude and then just leave.  That makes no sense. It’s a complete contradiction.

Travis gives us some incredible hot spots that are almost hard to watch, because what they reveal, is painful.

When we first hear Travis, we can’t see him, but we hear him say with a snicker, “I just want this girl to be found.”  He continues, “I want her to be found because I hope she is okay …safe.”

Travis says as he notably shrugs his shoulders, “When I was dropping Eddie off is when we, ah, met the missing girl…er…um… what’s her name..Kenia, yeah.”  Notice the change in the direction of his statement.  He changes course notably.  Was he going to say something he shouldn’t?

He continues, “There was this guy, he was smoking, she asked him for his cigarettes. They sat down, smoked his cigarettes, and, um…all of the sudden I was no longer important. I…I mean I was just one stranger, and then off with another stranger.”  When he talks, notice all the shoulder shrugging?  Worse, he is fighting hard to keep a smile off his face.  Why on earth would he feel like smiling?  Sadly, this is not the worst of his clues.

Do you notice how his story lacks details, like we were driving and she said she wanted to stop for cigarettes, but she didn’t have money, or something to that effect. All of his details are missing!

Watch when the reporter says, “Did you kidnap her?”  He says no.  The reporter continues, “Did you sexually assault her?”  He says, “I did not.” 

When the reporter says did you murder her, Travis gives off some indicative body language.  He says, “I did not” without moving his eyes off of her.  His eyes are locked (hot spot).  But worse, his head shake of “no” blends into a mix of a shake and nod, which is highly suggestive of conflict from the subconscious mind to the conscious mind.   And this battle between the minds continues on, if you watch. He repeats the word, “No” then shakes his head no, but then all of the sudden it changes to a head nod (indicative of a yes) (I personally think he is thinking here and that is what we see — his thoughts), and then he goes back to a no as he thinks that, too, to cover himself. This shows the conflict with him, which in my opinion, doesn’t support honesty.  It’s actually very revealing.

Travis continues, “No, and you know, having that on you, having that energy on you….is….is very stressful.”

The news story cuts again to Travis, “If I had known she was going to go missing, I wouldn’t have left.  I’ve…..Man……..  I’m sorry that I’ve….. that I was indifferent…that I didn’t think anything…I didn’t think anything…I didn’t think she was…was…was… going to disappear.  I could have…I could have walked with them. I could have been more, like  no, you know, I’m going to take you home…and you know, and you know, I…I could have intervened more, you know, and not just said, ‘okay’ and gone home, you know?”

He is displaying guilt here.  Why would he be guilty if he was trying to be a good Samaritan? 

It’s even more chilling when Travis says, “You know, everyone has their own choices, you know, and she chose…to walk off with this guy, and (shoulder shrug, smile), I can’t ….I can’t blame myself for that.”

If you want my opinion, Travis is holding back what he knows to the be the truth, and if we look at what his body language is conveying, it looks very bleak for Kenia, sadly.
