I think Sydney's routine hurt her in that this guy likely knew her routine too. I think this this was a random he saw her and just decided to do something. I think he knew her routine because he's seen her before running the same route. It was predictable, which unfortunately can be harmful for women if someone has bad intentions.Pretty sure that other women in his life dyed their hair blond too. JMO
They moved so fast on this case and I think it really lead to them finding her and solving it. Had he had more time he would have gotten rid of her body, probably moved her out of the area and she may have never been found. Praise the Lord that her family, the community and LE jumped on it right away!
What do you think actually happened that day? Do we know if LE impounded his vehicle?
But, likely the fact she had a routine that was known probably helped with a quick response because when her boyfriend came home from work or called her and she wasn't home or didn't answer, car was home, phone was gone and he knows her routine is the run.. then it was an immediate reason for concern. He didn't wait around wondering if she did x,y, or z. I also wonder if her being out there alone and running like that if she had a safety plan like calling someone when she returned home to say hey, I'm back. Maybe she didn't do that.
I am curious if she dropped her phone or if he put it where it was found to make it seem like someone took her? Maybe hoping they would quit looking so close to home and assume she was abducted.
