I know I am in the minority but I completely believed A called the cab and was that desperate to continue the fight and/or make up. Also probably upset by the wreck, maybe wanted to blame the BF for making her so upset that she crashed, or get him to comfort her. I also believe, at this point, that she ran into a predator, known to her or otherwise, but not necessarily anything to do with the party. JMO
Partly because of where and how she was found, but even before that, I felt that at 5am, at least partially distracted and alone on a street a young woman is going to attract the attention of those who look for exactly this type of victim. Also because of the seeming lack of evidence of raised voices, an argument, etc. could point to a weapon and her being quietly forced into a vehicle in an instant, by a "pro" who was ready to go.
Sorry to double quote you, but I agree that this is definitely quite a high possibility in this case. Think Jill Meagher, walking home after a night out with friends, abducted, raped and killed by someone who just happened to stumble across her. Or Mickey Schunik, who was riding her bike home and abducted right off the street. While statistically the perp is most likely someone the victim knew, there are cases that show the high possibility of a random perp being involved. In this case, Adrienne was walking to the AMPM on her own, in the early morning - she would have been very vulnerable and very open to someone to just take her right off the street. All they would need is a vehicle. In the Jill Meagher case, she was abducted off the street and then found in a second location - just as Adrienne was found in a location where she couldn't have gotten to unless transported by someone.
I've got to believe that LE secured a warrant for Adrienne's phone records soon after her missing person's report was taken. If the phone was in her father's name, all they would have needed was his written permission. LE confirmed that her phone went dead, silent, whatever, soon after 5:00 am. All the pings off the towers placed her phone in the general area of her apt. Without witnesses, no one knows "who" was using her phone. For all we know, those repeated calls to the BF's phone were an attempt to find it because he had misplaced it? 11 or 32, that many calls and no left messages? Was his voice mail full? The only time I've ever done that is when my BF looses his phone somewhere in the house, which is pretty common. If it's under his discarded clothes, or the freezer (yes, it has happened) it takes several calls from the land line to pin down where the ringtone is coming from. At one point, he's even gone so far as to put his ear up to one of the dog's stomachs. :facepalm:
I do agree to a point, but I think the amount of calls makes it a little less likely that it was BF trying to find her phone.
I remember reading that the guy's observations were unfounded. A young woman in light colored shorts nearby the microwave that police couldn't collaborate. I didn't note the timeframe though. LE has to put limits to how far back or ahead they check I suppose. I mean they have to go by what the witness claims within reason or they'd be checking video forever.
IIRC, the sighting of a girl in light colored shorts near the microwave was on a different day, which is why it was so confusing when it came out. It was only in the second (?) interview with this guy that he recalled seeing her, but it wasn't on the morning Adrienne disappeared.
Was dog poop a regular thing around there? I thought they were aware she had left without mentioning or asking for help with her dog. What's up with that? Who is or was in charge of the cats? Party mess is one thing but the messes the animals made is another story.
From personal experience, I can see it being a situation where everyone is partying and a little too drunk to really care whether the animals are making a mess in the apartment. When I was this age, friends of mine would seem to 'forget' that the animals were inside, and worry about cleaning up the mess after they were done having fun. Too much effort when you're in the middle of a party. I've also had friends who were not very good at cleaning up after their pets. I would walk into their house and it would literally smell like poo/piss and there would be little accidents just laying all over the house.
Not saying that either of those situations are definitely applicable to this situation, but just giving reason why the apartment may have been in the state of mess LE found it in.
Editing to add: OH! and what about that car with screaming coming from the trunk? That was really really crazy IMO! Timing and everything....
<snipped by me>
I can't remember reading this, could someone please point me in the right direction? TIA.
I've been wondering this same thing since day one. When your 19 and wreck your car and have close friends you don't leave that part out. I just feel like maybe she never went home after the wreck or if she did it was alot later the the time we were all told. She could have gone back and everyone was sleeping and no one ever saw or heard her. This has never set right with me at all.
I think it's possible she may have been a bit embarrassed to tell everyone what had just happened. She may have already thought she was being a bit of a 'downer' or a 'burden' because she was upset that night, maybe she didn't want to bring up the accident because she was worried about how her friends might react? She may have even been worried that they would tell her to just leave things for the night, and meet up with her BF later once everything had calmed down. I think that in the state of mind she seemed to be in that night, she didn't want to deal with people trying to stop her from getting to where she wanted to be.
Sorry for your loss PH. I was wondering where you were. Glad to see you back.
Thank you, Seajay. I'm happy to be back, although, I was hoping to come back to news of an arrest.
Obviously, all JMO, IMO, etc... :moo:
