We are not panicking but we are concerned. In regards to how she would have attempted to have made that walk home. She would have continued going south on the road she was on. She would never have gone south east, as that would take her way out of her destination. The area beyond where she was last seen is not what I would call well lit and I have had some trouble seeing stuff around there at night time.
It was a very cold night, Speculation, is that this was someone who may have offered her a ride after seeing her, and maybe she took it, being so cold out, realizing how far it was really to walk.
No one thinks at this point, that this might have been someone known to her and until any information comes out to tell us otherwise, most of us around me , feel this was not a person known to her.
My heart goes out to this young lady's family and friends as this is a horrific outcome.
Thank you for the welcome. I have perused this site on many occasions, especially during the Tori Stafford Case which was another case that really broke our hearts and
was only a few hours from here.
