It was 1985 so no cellphones (as we would recognize them today). Answering machines were available but Beverly and her husband may not have had one yet. My parents didn't get one till like the early 90s.

My point is if Beverly realized her mixup after she got to the Miami airport, and her husband wasn't home, there was no way for her to tell him. Even if she called other family members, they would have no way of reaching him either.

So maybe she figured she'd just get a cab from LaGuardia. Is it possible she hailed the wrong one and the driver abducted and harmed her? Sunset here in New York in December is around 4:30pm, increasing the chances for this not to have been witnessed.
