@crazyladi - There was a lot of information flooding that site during the evening/overnight period. I read pretty much all that came up.
Again, if my memory serves me correct, the BF's cousin was the last to see her, and did try more than once to stop her from walking home. This was stated by the cousin in a few posts that night. I believe the anger/upset was due to an argument with her boyfriend - at least that is what I remember being reported.
As for the picture and the disturbance in the snow, the girl that found them came across them sometime around midnight or after. She was with her fiancée. She did find a red lighter near the scene, and she wrapped it in some sort of cloth to preserve evidence. She was posting these pictures and updates from the scene itself. She tried a few times to contact the police, but only got an answering machine. She then stated she talked to someone at the police station and that they would sending someone out. Whether that happened during the early morning, or not until later when her body was discovered, I am not sure.
After this girl posted these pictures, quite a few folk stated they were going to go to the area and search the woods. At that point, many people said not to, that it was dangerous, and if it was indeed a crime scene, that it needed to be preserved. Although it is my opinion that NP was placed their after losing her life, it did make me wonder if folk had went and scoured that area in the early morning period - and my gut feeling was wrong - if perhaps she could have been saved. Who knows.
I will say this - it was quite chilling to see the pics firsthand and read things all as they were happening, and even more so after the fact, when it was reported that this was the general area that NP's body was discovered.
BTW - not once did that girl - I believe her name was A - state anything about psychic powers. Simply stated, she made mention that she wanted to help out in the search and decided to drive the roads.
Around the same time another searcher posted footprints that appeared to be from a woman. He followed them for a considerable distance (by the highway 40 overpass). Of course, most people at this point felt that NP had possibly gotten lost or disorientated, hurt, so it was more it terms of she was out in the cold somewhere and we need to find her.
Thanks for the warm welcome...looking forward to contributing.
Cheers,
Justin
