The Sutro Baths area is fairly dangerous due to the rough terrain--especially where noted by signs--like Paulette mentioned. It seems to me that if she did slip and fall into the water--that either someone would have seen the fall or she would have left some evidence behind. We know that she was carrying her backpack (probably full) with camera, books and other items. I really hope that the area was scoured for clues. I also hope divers looked around for anything she was carrying.
Too bad there is no way to solicit photos from tourists that were there that day.
I suppose the FBI must not believe she was lost at sea--or they wouldn't have re-classified the missing person case as a criminal abduction.
I also agree with Paulette about the hyper-vigilant thing. SF is not really a city to let down your guard, I can't imagine that Kristen would have talked to strangers. The complete lack of witnesses or evidence seems to increase the odds that her abduction was planned. Unless of course, there were some incredibly lucky criminals invovled.
Does anyone know anything about her roommates?? I keep going back to the blonde woman being in some way conntected to them...[/QUOTE]
I don't think she could be classified a drowning unless someone witnessed her being swept out to sea.
Why would the blonde woman be connected to the roommates?
Kristen has a 10 degree Gemini Sun, the same as my daughter. They also share a Taurus Mars. I know a little about Kristen because I know my daughter, Kristen was a risk taker. She flew out to Oakland on her 18th birthday, moved to a shared apt. she found on-line & got a job. She went to at least one concert in Mountainview & spent the night at Tristan"s house (BART probably wasn't running after the concert). Tristan has never been found.
At 17 my daughter went to the WTO in Seattle, flew to Martha's Vineyard & worked on a farm at 18, drove cross country all by herself at 19, narrowly avoided being raped on the ferry from Calais to Dover, thought nothing of leaving her dad in London & making her way to Paris...etc. These are things that Geminis do. They don't consider their behavior risky.
I've always thought she either fell or a rogue wave swept her out to sea or she took a ride. The sniffer dogs found her scent at the bus stop. That proves to me the last know place Kristen was, was Land's end. The bus ride from Land's End to a BART station is about an hour,. Would she take a ride from someone she met at Land's End?
Whatever the roommates told police is private, I don't think we'll ever be privy to that info. The info on her case is very sparse. I hate to think about her case - it's so frustrating!! Haunts me for days...
