Söring weiß das glaube ich selber nicht so genau, welche Geschichte er erzählen will.
Bei seiner Aussage vor Gericht klingt das tatsächlich so, als ob Elizabeth plante an diesem Samstag nach Charlottesville zu fahren, und als ob es demzufolge abgesprochen war, für den ganzen Abend Alibis zu erstellen. Der Privat-Ermittler in der Doku zumindest versucht diesen Jim mit folgender Begründung zu erreichen: "Jens Soering testified that Elizabeth was going to meet Jim that night. I think that was part of her alibi" (Der letzte Satz macht aber auch keinen Sinn, oder?)
Erst in seinem Buch scheint Söring das zu präzisieren mit den "zwei Stunden" und der geplanten Übergabe am nächsten Tag, und erzählt es so, dass die Alibis eher zufällig nach und nach entstanden.
Möglicherweise weil seine Geschichte vor Gericht etwas widersprüchlich ist: Erst sagt er, dass geplant war, dass sie sich nach dem ersten Kinobesuch im Hotel treffen. Dann erzählt er, dass er nach dem Kinobesuch an der Hotel-Rezeption den Scheck als Alibi einlöste - offenbar war ihm da schon klar, dass sie doch noch nicht kommen wird - und dann sagt er, dass er - wie abgesprochen - später nochmals ins Kino ging.
Hier die Stellen aus seiner Befragung durch seinen Anwalt, wie sie in der 3-teiligen Version der aktuellen Doku wiedergegeben werden. (Ich hab die entscheidenden Aussagen hervorgehoben.)
Double Murder in Bedford Virginia Part 2 ab Min 10:00.
(Gestraffte Version in "Killing for Love" ab 49:00)
Ausschnitte aus der Befragung Sörings durch seinen Verteidiger:Q: Your name is Jens Soering?
- Yes
Q: Prior to today have you had any opportunity to testify under oath about the events of that day?
- No, I haven't
Q. I like to call your attention to that day. Did you go to the home of Derek and Nancy Haysom and kill Mr and Mrs Haysom?
- No
Q: On march the 30th 1985 were you in Washington D.C.?
- Yes on a Saturday
Q: Who were you with?
-[most?] part of the day: Elizabeth Haysom
Q: Do you recall were you went and what you did?
- She had basically gotten into debts with a person both of us knew called Jim Farmer she been buying drugs from at UVa and
she told me that Jim Farmer had asked her to pick up a package from somebody he knew in Washington and drive it back down to Charlottesville.[...]
Jim Farmer's parents also live in Lynchburg and she told me that the families knew each other socially. Her parents were very worried about Elizabeth using drugs because she used a lot of drugs in the past.
[...]
At that point she said the only way I can help her would be for me to [???] as an alibi.
[...]
Q: Did she ask you to do anything specific?
- Well -
she asked me, what [lacht etwas]
you may have heard already - uhm - to go and buy two tickets to a film and then meet [her?] at the hotel afterwards.[...]
Q: After you agreed to do this, did she drive off?
- Well we got into the car, she just drove me down to the theater that was playing "Witness"
Q: How many tickets?
-
I bought two tickets as [??] planQ: And approximately what time in the afternoon was this?
- About five o'clock
Q:
After the film was over what did you do?-
Caught a taxi back to the hotel, I cashed a check at the front desk [of] the hotel using the credit card as a guaranty, they write the number on the back and that guaranties that the check will be payed.Q:
Did you sign for it?-
Yes I did. That was the [point?] Q: Did you do anything else when you got to the Marriott?
- I went up to the room, watched TV, waited. [??] around nine o'clock that I ordered room service: shrimp cocktail one of those and two drinks non-alcoholic
Q: Did you stay in the room?
- For a while yes, but not very long, because
in case she didn't come back I should then continue with this alibi production-business. Go to another movie and meet her back at the hotel.[...]
Q: When you got back to the hotel, was she there?
- No she wasn't. It was around two o'clock I guess. She came to the room, knocked, stormed past me into the room.
She started basically repeating the same things over an over again: "I've killed my parents, I've killed my parents", you know, "It wasn't me it was the drugs that made me do it. You've gotta help me, if you don't help they kill me"
[...]
I had to protect her. I could not turn her in.
Q: Were you in love with her at that time?
- Well of course. And - [lacht] - I loved the girl. And I almost saw her as a sort of third victim of this tragedy that apparently had happend
[...]
We basically expected the police to arrive within the next few hours.
[...]
And we thought we have to make a decision now, come up with a plan, how I would have done it and what for me to tell the police to make the whole story believable, a script of what had happened that day
Q: Give the jury an example of how the conversation [took place?].
- For example: what happened at the house, what was her mother doing, what did you do next, what did you talk about.
[....]
Auffallendster Unterschied der Versionen: Das Einlösen des Schecks stellt er vor Gericht als Teil des Plans dar - er habe absichtlich unterschrieben, "That was the point".
In der Buchversion gibt er einen anderen Grund an (um den Eindruck des Absichtlichen zu zerstreuen?): Elizabeth habe das ganze Geld mitgenommen, deswegen musste er den Scheck einlösen:
When I arrived by taxi back at the hotel at about 7:30 p.m. I cashed a personal check at the front desk. After I had paid for the room with my father's VISA card the previous evening Elizabeth had put the entire refund into her wallet. In the rush to meet her drug dealer she had driven off with all the money, leaving me with only a few dollars in cash. On the back of my check the hotel cashier noted details from my driver's license, took an imprint of the VISA card, asked me to sign again, and initialed and dated the whole thing.

Mein Fazit: Söring kann sich nicht entscheiden, welche Geschichte er erzählen will. Die "Dealer als Komplize"-Theorie jedoch entsteht letztlich nur im Kopf des Betrachters. Das gilt auch für Personen aus dem "Team Söring", die Söring offensichtlich in diesem Glauben lässt ("Jens Soering testified that Elizabeth was going to meet Jim that night").
