Was dozing off, thinking about this case, and suddenly remembered something----something that might be relevant considering some of the new info we have coming out---
During the vigil, while everyone walked around the outside of the store, to see if that was a possible route, I walked in the front door, the same way I thought that MG might have done, at the same time , 2 weeks earlier.
I showed the poster to a few employees, and one man, nodded and said ''''O h Yeah, ...."
I asked if he remembered her and he nodded and said that when he first saw the poster on the window, he recognized her as someone who comes into the store sometimes. [ I thought that was incorrect so began to discount his story at that point---but now I may have been too quick to do so?]
He told me that the last time he remembered her, she was with another 'girl' around the same age as her. And he remembered them because they were laughing and 'smelled like marijuana', and he pointed to the large restroom sign, and said he thought they were smoking back there.
At first I discounted everything he said. But then I went back to the rest room area---and it is huge area, tucked away, back in the warehouse area, and pretty remote. And there were a few kind of unsavory people hanging back there when I was there. One guy seemed to have just used it as his washroom, as he had towels and a shaver in hand.
The employee was a stock worker or a janitor I believe. He had a big ring of keys and work gloves clipped to his waist. He was in his 50's and we had a bit of a language barrier.
I ran out and told Misty and her husband came in and spoke with the employee too. But when he said she was with another girl, and they smoked pot in the store, and she was a regular customer, we both discounted his version of events.
HOWEVER, maybe he was on the right track????
