Edit: I started this yesterday and just now got back to finishing it up, sort of. Big development about the bag. Is this merely coincidental that a mere few days after Gardner is arrested LE locates a bag which could potentiall be linked to Amber? Maybe there is a possibility Gardner is giving them some info??
I re-read Amber's entry on Charley Project today. The two most mysterious things about her disappearence (for me) are the teenager and the phone. I know these points have been examined and re-examined here.
The teenager she was seen walking with - there is a pretty detailed description of him right down to what he was wearing. If he was a fellow classmate then why would he not come forward to police or school officials and say he is the one who was seen with her that morning? Amber is described as pretty shy and quiet. Did she have any guy friends she hung out with? Would it be normal for Amber to be walking and talking with a male classmate or was she too shy to walk and chat with a male school acquaintence especially at 6 feet tall was likely a couple grades ahead of her?
Now that I have seen Gardner is it possible from a distance he could be confused as a teenager? Especially if he was wearing a hat.....
