Takes me 10 minutes to leisurely smoke a cigarette so it's possible she chain smoked two. I wonder if someone approached and bummed one from her.
This is what the timeline looks like right now. This looks like there is a lot more to the story. Sarah thinks her sister was running/hiding from someone that night
Approximately 01/09/17: Maricela tells her sister she has a secret but she won't elaborate. She cries and hugs her sister. She slept next to her for the next few days.
01/12/17: Approximately 3:30 PM and 5:00 PM in Venice Beach, Maricela makes two deliveries for Postmates, leaving her sister in the car. She is in and out quickly and no change in mood.
01/12/17: Approximately 6:50 PM. Maricela and her sister enter Goodwill in Reseda to browse.
07:20 PM: Maricela tells her sister she needs a cigarette and will be right back.
07:22 PM: Maricela leaves GW and is captured on camera walking toward her car/99 Cent Store
Approximately 7:45 PM: Sarah goes outside and does not see Maricela. She waits by the car thinking she will be right back.
Approximately 8:00 PM: Sarah becomes more worried because it is dark and raining and the car is locked. She goes into the 99 Cent Store and into Payless but no one has seen Maricela. She asks to use the phone in Payless because her phone is dead and was turned away.
Approximately 8:15 PM: Sarah goes into the chapel of Catherine of Siena Catholic Church. The two women in there tell her they saw Maricela approximately 25 - 30 minutes prior. She "stormed out" looking upset or worried. They ask Sarah if Maricela was sick.
Approximately 8:25 PM: Sarah sees two men outside the stores. They are "sketchy" and give her a bad vibe. One of them asks for the time and wants to know if her phone is dead.
Approximately 8:30 PM: Sarah goes into 7-11 and inquires about Maricela but no one has seen her. She waits there until 8:45 PM when her ride arrives.
We have some great mods, for sure
Maricela left the church looking scared/upset/worried.
It is unknown who, if anyone, was in the parking lot.
Where did you see the video?I've been watching the video of her leaving the GW. I can't tell but does it look like she looks to her right as she is going left right after the other people pass???Just wondering if she saw something or someone then? IMO
Has anyone other than her sister spoken with the nuns or individuals at the church who saw her?I'm asking for help with a map. I think it is pretty much right there but not in direct eyesight. The opinion of the family (again, take with a grain of salt) is that someone accosted her in the parking lot. She ran in there to hide/get away instead of going back into GW and risking her little sister. It was the closest safe place to where she was.
So LAPD has Maricela listed as voluntary missing because she was not seen on camera being abducted and no blood or other signs of a struggle. That's so sad to me. I really don't think she is gone willingly and the media is not interested

This happened in Sherman Oaks, not far away. The article says that victim may have known the suspects, but just wondering if there can be any connections
