Absolutely Cyber Sleuth! When I read over the PCA I am not nit picking each specific detail, I'm looking at the big picture of what info LE was given from these witnesses. I think it's fair to mention when the girls encountered BG, they had no idea he was about to murder 2 girls and their recall of what he looked like or was wearing was going to be scrutinized by half of America. Same with witnesses that saw his car parked where it was. They had no idea it was going to be an important detail the needed to memorize the exact car.IMO I think it’s likely a witness could have incorrectly remembered the color of a car but remember where it was parked and that it was parked oddly.
I do not believe it has been disclosed exactly where along CR300 North that SC saw RA. Per the PCA she was traveling east and she saw him walking west away from MHB on the north side of the road.
So that can be anywhere west of MHB on CR300 North. I have no doubt LE know exactly where RA was spotted they just have not disclosed.

Gary Hughes has a very good video that does cover the timeline of all the witnesses on a map simultaneously. You may find it helpful in visualizing the timing of events.
I think about my day to day life and things I see. I walk, run, and hike a lot. If I encountered someone a tad creepy and I pass by and say hello and they don't respond or give me even more icky vibes, I don't tend to stare at them to memorize every detail I can. I hurry along and get out of there. If I was asked later I could for sure say I passed someone that gave me a bad feeling. I might recall they had a hat on or their expression.. seemed angry, no expression at all, no smile when I say hi, etc. I could say I saw them and how they made me feel, what time I saw them, etc. I would not want to be counted on to make a sketch for the world to scrutinize and I sure wouldn't want my description to be the end all be all of saying this was or wasn't the guy because I got the color of his pants wrong.
None of these people witnessed a crime and none of them were the victim of a crime. They had no idea they needed to tell LE later exactly what they saw in detail. I think their statements should be taken as such and seen for the big picture. He said he was there and he said he parked exactly where several people saw a car and they were able to describe it was backed in and it stood out to them. Some details might be off, but nobody said it was a mini van or a large truck. Based on what is said RA said he parked there and several people describe a car that is very similar to one he had then. Again, their recall was after the fact and not knowing they even needed to remember the color or the type of car. Same with his clothing. He told LE the direction he walked and what he was wearing. Several people saw a man similarly dressed as RA claimed he was and similar to what BG is seen wearing and they saw him at times that were consistent with his movements and what he said he did when he walked the trail. It shows that RA could be BG based on his own statements and what several people observed.
