Yes, thank you very much, now I found the Doe Network info, and the map was pre-printed with tourist spots, as noted. And, they mention:
It mentions that jewelry is unknown, FWIW. And I don't wear a watch either - LOL - too "cumbersome"
From the Unocal (which is next door to the Hampton Inn, where a clerk remembered her), a cab can take either Crown Valley Parkway to reach the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel (it is not Laguna Beach where the Ritz Carlton is located) or can head south on Interstate 5, and take a round-about way back up North to Laguna Niguel, from Dana Point.
I've attached two maps, one showing the shorter path, taking Crown Valley (9.8 miles), and the second, showing what the cab driver chose, which is 13.2 miles or 3 miles farther. She would have made it to the Ritz Carlton on $18 if the cab driver had taken Crown Valley. Not that this necessarily changes the outcome. The cab driver picked her up at Unocal gas station at 4:15 in the morning. She was estimated to have been at the bottom of the cliff at 5:00 AM.
And one more thing: The cab driver dropped her off in front of the Chart House Restaurant near Cove Rd and Scenic Drive - nothing else was there. This location is just 1.8 miles from the Ritz Carlton, her intended destination, per the cab driver.
So he leaves her in pitch darkness in front of a closed restaurant, at 4:30 in the morning, alone. Only 1.8 miles from where she wanted to be. Because he took the freeway instead of Crown Valley. Something here just feels so very wrong! She looks young, she had on turquoise colored shoes, a tan dress, a maroon colored purse/large wallet with open end and zippered side. Altogether a nice "optimistic" combination. Of course, I can't explain the underwear. A pretty young thing, wanting to get to a "high end" hotel, or a high-rise hotel... Long, strawberry blonde hair, wavy, extending halfway down her back.
I hope you will indulge my scenario here: Perhaps she really did want "high end" hotel as the Hampton Inn was a very modest place, visible from the freeway for family travelers heading up from San Diego. And maybe she had cash, credit card, ID, jewelry, and was taking a nice trip through Southern California.
She was a pretty girl, and perhaps at that time of morning, someone took her jewelry and cash, wallet and id, and told her to climb over the fence. In the darkness, on those cliffs, it is extremely easy to lose footing and fall. Or to be pushed. I know, this is a very dark turn, but so is suicide.
My dark thoughts arise because of the path the cab driver chose. She would have made it to the Ritz. Instead, just 1.8 miles short of her destination, she climbs over a fence and immediately ends it all. Something isn't right.... IMO, MOO... :moo:
BBMHer handwritten notes on some pages with directions to that Unocal where cabbie picked her up and other notes as if someone gave her directions. She used the restroom at Unocal.
