I have a few points of discussion - forgive me if these have already been covered. I tried to catch up on everything
-was the statement from Luis corroberated by other workers? I'm surprised no other neighbors have mentioned this. Although they could have, but it was not released and this interview with Luis and the media was impromptu (not sure about that...just thinking out loud).
-they may be intimidated to come forward with information if they are not legal citizens.
-I wonder if this man in black got a ride to his bus stop or walked since I read there are no VTA stops near there. So where exactly was he standing most days? Santa Teresa and Monterey is a bit of a distance to a VTA to walk, but it is always possible.
-A thought I have: since it was was winter, was she getting a ride to the bus stop until the weather got better in spring? If so, who took her. Going off of my previous post about her current bus driver only driving her for the past 6 weeks since her disappearance. She mentioned on her Twitter once that she was cold and she wished the bus would get there. But it is still cold in spring.
-If this man in black was a neighbor, I think it would be easier to track him down. His description is rather unique. Perhaps the police know who it is and therefore they do not need a sketch. They won't mention anything about him until he becomes a person of interest or suspect - probably would wait until he is a suspect (if he is).
-I would love to know if Sierra frequented any convenience stores in the area. There hasn't been anything mentioned about her habits in the neighborhood. I have a difficult time believing that a teenager would not stop either before or after school at a convenience store to pick up candy or energy drinks (or something along those lines) even on the weekends. She mentioned on her Twitter that she found $30 in her pocket not that long ago. So she seems to have spending money.
-As a teenager (when I was a teenager), my friends and I always walked places to buy things or go places (restaurants, convenience stores, messing around, movies, etc. ). Since she was the only child at the bus stop, it seems like she wouldn't have any friends her age in the area that we know of. Although, there is another high school near Santa Teresa, so it is possible she did have high school friends in the area who went to another school...just thinking...
-if she had an older friend in the area, it doesn't seem likely she would mention it.
would love any thoughts
Thanks for sharing all of the great information.
I apologize for my grammer in my posts - one of the letters on my keyboard decided to not work recently and I'm having to cut and paste every 'w'. It's distracting
