I've said this before, but there are still some hasty assumptions. I know they said that the phone was pinged to be in the field on Sunday. At LE's press conference it was asked "Im not sure if it was cleared up, if the phone was found before or after the truck was reported." He declined to comment.

A news article said posted after they found the phone, said "
The Sutter County Sheriff's Office spokesman said that it's possible Alycia Yeoman got her own truck stuck in the mud and left on foot with her phone." http://www.krcrtv.com/news/local/butte/missing-gridley-womans-truck-found-in-sutter-county-orchard/431289762
As for why she was on the levee? It IS possible she was meeting someone. There are people who live at the "river bottom"

The first interview with LE said that people get stuck in the orchard "all the time" because they were trying to access the river when the park was closed. I don't have the link readily available, but I posted the interview in the first thread.
There are two key things that we KNOW police have the answer to, however have not released. The footprints- where we they heading? The phone- when was it found?
I'd be interested in seeing any direct quotes from LE that may have expanded on these thoughts.
