I asked the manager on Jan. 3 AM. (I thought Ben lived closer to that corner but he lives north on Ocotillo-about 3 streets) But at that time I was only thinking of someone driving his car through the intersection. Might spin back over there but they have the original flyer that the friends dropped off on Jan.2 and she did not recognize him as a customer at all. Their cameras do cover the pumps but not out to the street. Same story at Jack in the Box on the SE corner. My mechanic/friend is on the SW corner and they have no video cameras at all.
Original post upthread.
If he is like most folks, he probably paid at the pump. I was just trying to think of ways we could determine where he might have gone when he left his house.
At the end of the day, I think his cell activity is the key to all this. He wouldn't have canceled on Dan unless he really was exhausted. Something prompted him to hop in the shower and rush out the door. The big question is what/who?
