I wonder if more information will be released soon. News reports say she was found in Lincoln Creek near Jackson Shoals. I can't find Lincoln Creek on any maps and the two larger creeks that run closest to the speedway have different names.
There are a couple of smaller unnamed creeks showing up in
the area which are highlighted by the oval above.
There's a bridge and a road that crosses the main creek in that area as well. I'm very interested in learning more about the exact location where her body was found; and even more so, the cause of death.
Statements the last person she was seen with don't really add up to me. He says they argued because he didn't want to go to the race and she did and that they had been thrown out of the bar, yet the bar owner of the bar they were supposedly thrown out of says they were happy, spoke openly about going to the race together and were holding hands when they left together around 1:45 a.m.
Although an argument could have come about shortly after leaving if maybe she wanted to hang out at the track beginning at 2:30 a.m. and he didn't want to go until 2:00 p.m. when the race started. Maybe that's what was meant when it was reported he didn't want to go to the race - - he didn't want to go so early?
Still - if she wanted out, demanded to get out and he stopped and let her out, I wouldn't say "I dropped her off" . . . but rather, "I let her out." However, the wording used could have been miscommunicated via media.
But what bothers me here . . . there's no mention of where to pick her up after the race. Two hours after the race is won she was reported missing. How would anyone know she was missing that soon after the race if she had actually attended it? She could have gotten a ride, called a friend, or she could have been hanging out nearby waiting on the crowds to thin out. Just wondering why her husband would think none of these were the case so soon after the end of the race.
