I love y’all but I don’t understand how these threads continue to have questions and confusion about items that are readily available in the public record. The search warrant has detailed information about not just the brand and model number but the serial number of the hard drive. And we’re...

I live a little further out, but I don’t find Uber or Lyft to always be available. Especially late at night on a weeknight. When they are available, it takes anywhere from 15-30 minutes for them to show up unless I get really lucky. Foothill Ranch is probably a bit better than that, but I...

Just for everyone’s reference, this is the official OCSD blotter, which lets you filter by area. I consider this more reliable than searching twitter, even though the twitter feeds pull their data from here: http://ws.ocsd.org/blotter/BlotterSearch.aspx

"Patrol check" is pretty generic. Typically it means someone called and asked the police to go check the area out. E.g. because they saw something that didn't look right, or they are on vacation and want their home checked on. I don't think we can read anything into that call classification. It...

Weird thing is, if you look at his dad's public FB photos, he has a photo of the family with the FB "Celebrate Pride" filter on it. That doesn't seem like the actions of a family who would be angry that their son is gay (though you may be on to something with the father being more accepting than...

Every post I found about this topic on FB seems to be operating on the same level of information and guesswork we are. E.g. "I heard it was a girl" (where did you hear that?). "The girl who dropped him off..." (where did that information come from? The person who posted that seems to have no...

I don't know who runs that, but I assume they're just pulling from the official blotter. http://ws.ocsd.org/blotter/BlotterSearch.aspx

I did, but I don't think I'm allowed to post it here? Sorry, I'm new and not clear on all of the rules...

It's different police. The toll road is CHP, the town streets are OCSD. I think the police presence around south OC is pretty visible, but I don't actually live in Foothill Ranch (I just go there to shop sometimes), so Anxiousmom might have a better feel for that.

Agreed. My daily commute covers that stretch of toll road. It's just dirt and sagebrush along the sides, very few trees or anything. If someone was near the side of the road, they'd almost surely be seen by now.

I agree this seems odd. But there are plausible explanations. For example, I have a terrible sense of direction. Even if I've been to a place many times, I almost always want to plug it in to GPS to make sure I don't take a wrong turn. Especially at night, in suburbs with curving roads and...

I'm pretty new to following this kind of thing real-time (as you can see, I somehow created an account here years ago, but this is the first thread I've actively participated in). So I'm not sure if this is just par for the course with this kind of thing, or if it's unusual. But it seems to me...

BTW, one other thought on this. If the idea really were to find a public place for an innocent exchange, there are multiple huge, well-lit shopping centers literally a block away from that park. I find it really hard to believe that anyone would choose that park vs. the Ralphs or Target area if...

There was speculation earlier in this thread that the phone didn't have service, but none of the MSM reports have said that, and several have said things that imply the opposite (e.g. that it was working for a while, and then shut off). I have no information that's not in the media reports, but...

FWIW, this is a pretty quiet suburban area. Like I said before, I don't know their exact neighborhood, but I know the area. I shop at the shopping centers around the park regularly, but I live in a different subdivision than they do. At 11PM, I would expect that park to be the exact opposite of...

How about the fact that he sent a text from it after leaving the house. How do you propose that he sent a text from a phone with no service? "Is not receiving" does not mean "can not ever receive." Yes, words matter.

It's not hard to find the address, and I know the general area (though not their exact neighborhood). According to Google Maps, it's 1-1.2 miles depending on the route. And about a 400 foot elevation change. Google estimates between 27 and 31 minutes to get there, and 30 to 34 minutes to get...

People have said a few times in this thread that the park was a 5 minute walk from his house. This is incorrect. It would be 25-30 minutes to walk that, and the walk back from the park is up hill. Not that hard to do (especially if he didn't have any other way home), but I think asking why he...
