Asking for anyone that might have seen her vehicle during the crucial time period. Auburn police have spotted it around 12:30 am 10-24 in south college street and 95 (I think he said) .
From the page:
The Auburn Police Division, as part of the ongoing joint investigation with the Montgomery Police Department, is releasing a snippet of a video capturing Aniah Haley Blanchard making a purchase at a convenience store located on South College Street, on Wednesday, Oct. 23, just prior to her vehicle being observed traveling south bound on South College Street.
Assisting with the investigation are the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Marshal Service, the Department of Homeland Security, the Lee County District Attorney’s Office, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department, Alabama Law Enforcement Agency, Alabama Fusion Center and the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences.
This part
from this article is odd to me: (BBM)
The video footage of her at a gas station in the early-morning hours does not match up with the Aniah they have always known. “Something just doesn’t sound right, and we can’t put our hands on it,’’ Yashiba Blanchard said. “Out of all four of our kids, she’s the first one in bed and the first one to get up. She is not out at 12 a.m. or 1 a.m.”
I wonder if they think she was being forced into taking money out for someone else at the ATM? Do we know the amount of money she withdrew?
Ok, that video is interesting to me.
1. Is she wearing what they described? It does look like she has boots on but they aren’t what I call duck boots. Maybe I don’t know what they meant.
What she has on looks like a tunic to me. I can see a slit on the side I believe. Is this what they thought she was wearing or wore to funeral?
She looks like her card is visible and almost looks like she has papers in her hand abs phone in the other. I’m confused by all the stuff in her hands. No purse?
2. So they called this making a purchase just before she was seen on I 85. They said that the sighting on college and I 85 was 12:30. Debit card purchase was 11:20 (I thought) so is this after that? Where was she from 11:20 to 12:30?
Too many missing pieces to know!
The family almost sounds like they wouldn’t expect her to go out. I just bet they don’t know all that they think they do about her. Did she really meet a guy and when? If the Snapchat to friend happened and phone disabled by 11:56 yet this was just before 12:30 spotting, was it after 11:56?
I can’t tell you how many chargers my kids have bought from gas stations because they forgot theirs or it broke... that’s not the issue here I don’t think. She would’ve bought one I think. (Well now I’m wondering how much money she had) We know dad Walt Venmo’d her money for “food” at 9:30. Maybe she didn’t have enough to buy a charger and charge phone? I doubt that but who knows. The cords are about $5 and can plug to usb.
Was phone disabled completely, or just life 360 tracker? Maybe she just didn’t want mom/dad to know where she was? And then something happened?
8:30 left Homewood with brother
9:21. Walt Venmo’s money
11:00 Drops brother Elijah off
11:20 Debit Card used location pinged by LE (in Auburn)
11:57 phone turned off (went dark)
12:30 car spotted on college and I 85
My biggest question - was communication with Roomie via text only. That could imply someone else sent it if so. The reporter in the story with mom on phone leads the question by saying she “talked to Roomie” but mom calls it Snapchat.
