Semantics

Please consider the difference between the following two statements:

"Joe came up to me while I was downtown."

and 

"Joe found me while I was downtown."

There's a clearly a difference between the two. The first one merely suggests an approach as in, "Joe approached me while I was downtown." "Joe came up to me while I was downtown" and  "Joe approached me downtown" are basically equivalent.  If I told you that "Joe came up to me while I was downtown" you'd infer the same thing as if I told you that, "Joe approached me while I was downtown."  Pedantry?  Yes.  But pedantry for the sake of clarification.  Here's some more.

The second statement carries a different meaning, obviously.  If I told you that, "Joe found me while I was downtown" then you'd be probably infer that Joe was looking for me and then Joe found me.  And you'd probably think that Joe was looking for me for a reason.  You'd not be able to infer the reason, but that there was a reason that Joe was looking for me would be a rational inference.

Now let's consider the two sentences reporting on a sequence of events.  Here's what I mean:

"Joe found me and he came up to me while I was downtown."

I can't reverse the order, however, without giving an odd statement like this:

"Joe came up to me and found me while I was downtown."

This may be the have been the case.  While looking for me, Joe may have been walking toward me without realizing it, but then he realized it was me and at that point he found me.  But then one would likely just tell someone, "Joe found me while I was downtown."  Either way, finding someone implies that one was looking for them.

Now, with this in mind I invite you to listen to Payne Lindsey's interview with Weston Sudduth in Episode 6 of the podcast (the one where Weston almost says he heard Bo outside by the fire, then catches himself.)  Again, with the differences between statements in mind, listen to the recorded phone conversation between Randy Turley and Weston in the next episode. Listen closely to how Weston describes his encounter with Bo up in Berkeley on the morning of the 16th.  

Sure.  I may be making too much of the differences between how Weston tells the story to Lindsey and how he tells it to Turley.  But, the thing is, when you take into account what others have said about Bo and Weston knowing each other (and you disregard the bullshit, Rashomon explanation Weston gives Lindsey in the last episode) you're led to think that Bo found Weston while he was up in Berkeley on August 16th.  And so Bo was looking for Weston, for one reason or another.  And I doubt that reason was that one drug-dealer was just giving another a friendly heads-up...
