I know she did speak with her cousin and told him she was in Tulare so I'm with you, I agree she knew where she was at. It was debated for awhile because of the first "ping" location in the beginning putting her somewhere else. But now that Ventura told them for sure, it goes back to original conversation. He sent her instructions on how to get back but I'm unsure of what those were, they have not been shared. So I'm hoping the family has a little more information on possibly which way she might have gone based on the cousins instructions. Fingers crossed!
