The issue of the rental car could suggest that Lehmann was anticipating driving with Chalem to TN. What we don't know is whether or not he was expected back at home that evening, or if they understood him to be away on business a couple of days.

Note that the murders took place on the evening of Tuesday, October 26. The trip to Tennessee was planned for the next day. According to Message 11788521, Lehmann's 15th wedding anniversary was supposed to have been on Thursday. Also, if you want to argue that business takes precedent and the business in Tennessee was important, note that there was a suitcase in the open trunk. Normally one packs and loads the car the day they leave, not the night before. Thus, I doubt Lehmann was scheduled to go on that trip.

Re: Was it unusual for Jesse Scarola, 13, to be in Staten Island on a Monday night with his father?

[Note: press reports refer to him as Jeffrey. Apparently his name was Jesse, Jr.]

Jesse Jr. lived with his mother Kimberly "full time". When she still lived in Brooklyn last year, she had him attend school in Colts Neck because she wanted him to be educated in a good school system in NJ. Since his father Jesse Scarola lived in Middletown, NJ (proximate to Colts neck and Staten Island where Kim had relatives) she had him start school in September in NJ. He would be taken to school by his father in the morning (picked up in Staten Island, Brooklyn or NJ, depending on where Kim would be). Then, Kim would pick him up after school at 1pm.

It was important to close on the Colt's Neck house before the school year ended, so that her son would be eligible to attend school there. Kim was apparently not what you call a doting mother. She spent her time impulsively flying between NY and FL, and her summers were in the house in the Hamptons. Her son stayed with her when possible, but Kim was close to her ex-husband because he took Jesse all the times that she was "busy". Thus, that explains why her son was with his father the night of the murders.
