We have very limited information that is mainly in the form of second hand eyewitness testimony. Let’s say PH did make it to the bar/venue depending on how you look at ones plans for the night (see a band or have a drink) you don’t have to drink to be at said establishment. She maybe knows the two guys she’s talking to from school or maybe even another workplace (this could explain why the coworker doesn’t know them) she steps outside to chat maybe leaves with them. She thinks she is being taken to her car ends up somewhere else, party etc.
What this doesn’t explain is all the time before this moment or anytime after or why they weren’t seen on surveillance cameras.
Just trying to think of another angle where she doesn’t leave with strangers but could end up with strangers later.
ALL MOO
On Saturday- 12/21, PH was reported missing to BPD by her dad and brother after receiving word from a co-worker on Saturday morning that PH left the bar Friday night with 2 men and later sent a warning text that she may be in danger and to pick up if she phoned. That was allegedly the last communication ever by PH.
Her dad went on TV hours later and stated that his daughter went to the bar with a group from work to socialize and listen to live music. Essentially, I think that's when reality reporting of PH missing came to a halt.
An adult has a right to disappear and not remain in contact but I think we can rule that out here. There was also no evidence of foul play or crime committed and for two weeks this was not treated as a criminal investigation. It's still not deemed a criminal investigation (although PH could not bury herself).
PH is dead and nothing adds up. I don't think it would have interfered with the integrity of the missing person investigation (or criminal) if the time PH arrived at the venue and whether she had planned to stay over in Birmingham Friday night (not return to Trussville/parents) were added to the incomplete timeline and made public.
Seems to me that tiny bit of minimal information could have easily been independently confirmed. If PH arrived at 8 pm and ordered Dixie Biscuits -- I think somebody would have remembered. I think it's the noncommital about anything that acknowledges PH existed on Friday night that I find so disheartening.
I want somebody to tell me she danced a full set without a break, or she had two helpings of voodoo shrimp stew Friday night. I need some evidence she was happy, angry, or sad in her last hours at the Tin Roof bar before she ended up wrapped up and stuffed in a hole in some yard.
Sorry, this just fires me up.
Prayers and comfort for her family and friends.
