funny, I thought it was the fellow who walked with Emma on Douglas St down to the Empress who called 911.It sounds like the night auditor and the fellow made separate calls to police.The big mystery still remains how did her credit card get out to Langford library? There is a bank right next door to the library.The card was found right outside the library so you would think the person who dropped it would have been seen on the bank surv. cameras if they exist. Her mother mentions her walking became manical so its possible she walked out that rail line from the inner harbor (johnson street bridge).Perhaps of note also is her only family member on the Island lived north of Naniamo.They were very close and in fact that is who Emma stayed with here in Nelson several years ago.Was she attempting to reach this family member and walked the rail line to avoid detection? I think she left the Island shortly afterwards.
