This case is getting more complicated, it seems.
1. I’m curious to know why IY was driven to Auburn, then dropped off there without a ride home - how was he planning to get back to Montgomery? Was he planning to steal a car?
2. Is it possible that there is still more to this story, and AB was willingly driving IY at first?* That is, as her mother suggested, there is a link between IY and AB, specifically they know someone in common, and he played on this connection to win her trust temporarily?
* I mention this in response to the new evidence that IY was seen exiting then entering the passenger side of AB’s car.
3. If AB was not driving during this second sighting, where was she? Incapacitated and an accomplice was driving? Had IY dropped her off to someone? (At the Clarion?)
Thoughts?
I've not completely caught up on the thread, but possibility # 2 does strike me, particularly because of the last video I saw of Aniah's Mom -- she was so earnest in saying (paraphrasing here) that she felt she had all those safety talks with Aniah, but saying she felt rather guilty, like she could have driven the point home more/said more to Aniah (no doubt she did all she could; but like all us parents, we always feel like you should say or do more to protect our children out in the real world). She was so emphatic about parents really hitting this hard with their own children...it really gave me the impression that Aniah may have been too kind and did extend some help (or maybe just friendliness that opened her up) that night. So as I read along this thread (depending on what else you guys discover), I'm wondering if she did offer a ride to a second location...or go herself to a second location, to "help" with something. Sometimes, especially with young people with great hearts, they'll extend in ways you may think they won't -- especially if it was a "quick" help and she was generally comfortable in the surrounding area (like busy or lit environment all on the way). OR if something was said about a common friend, which made her lower her guard. Anyway, just some quick thoughts.
