WWhere are you getting your specific descriptions from?
I'm just throwing this theory out here. I wonder if the man - the one in the police sketch - took her back to a rental unit where two other males where present. First male possibly on average height or a bit on the shorter side, light brownish hair with a bit of a receding hairline, clear complexion, a bit of a pot belly. A bit of a dimwit. Possibly cauasian and knew the man in the sketch. Second male - on the shorter side, light brown hair, no balding. Caucasian. Both violent, the the second one more so. It was possibly the second male that resulted in this woman's demise.
No where in particular. Here is what I think about the native guy in question, the guy in the sketch, and this just speculation. Probably had at the time a drug addiction problem and got into a dispute/altercation with the victim because of this. She may have said something to him and he reacted violently. He probably didn't do well in school and has some kind of learning difficulty or impediment. He likely changed residences shortly afterwards. He may have gone to the property around Grey to possibly borrow a vehicle. The person in question, who I believe is a caucasian male and whose residence he went to, may have been a dealer /a supplier.Where are you getting your specific descriptions from?
I am wondering if Thelma Krull had any arguments with a male individual regarding money - possibly within a couple months prior to her disappearance - and if it pertained to the loan of money, the borrowing of money, helping someone financially - none of which she may have wanted to do and as such, an argument ensued.
RSBMWhat surprises me is that the park is so wide open, yet it seems that she crossed the park without anyone seeing anything that caused concern
Then how did her phone and glasses end up at the Valley Gardens side of the park? I was assuming that she lost her glasses and phone during a struggle, which suggests that she was at Valley Gardens when she was attacked/abducted.
Yes, it would be good to know why her phone pinged in that area. If she'd received a call, police would know what number called her. Or she may have tried to make a call for help, if she had time. It could also have just been an ordinary ping because she was moving and the phone updated her location, or notified her of a new email, etc.I am slowly moving over to the idea that at around 8 AM or around that time, she used her cell phone - either by calling a number to someone or answering a call from someone - and that person was one of those two caucasian individuals in the park who were seen hanging around at approximately 8. E.g. "I'm here at the school.Where are you waiting?" OR "Hey..We're here near the parking lot." Winnipeg police probably have a good idea of who they are. What are the odds that, on the same day as her grandson's birthday, perhaps someone asked to meet up with her to hand over a gift for the kid. And I am just thinking out loud here.
Yes, this is why I'm taking the time to get clear on the actual location, the early media reports were vague about these details, possibly because police didn't say.
Most media coverage that I can find now, refers to them being found in the area, or near, or on the grounds of the Community Centre. Missing Winnipeg hiker's daughter believes mom is still alive | CBC News
This article from last year is quite specific "It happened shortly after she arrived at Civic Park, behind Kildonan-East Collegiate, around 8 a.m. on July 11, 2015, police said. Several pieces of evidence, including Krull's glasses and cellphone, were found." This is the high school, near the football field and arena.

I also found an article about the memorial her family placed "near Kildonan-East Collegiate". Thelma Krull memorial found vandalized | CBC News
In the video you can see Thelma's daughter retrieving the vandalized memorial from what to me looks like the tennis court fence that borders the park. At that location there are a few trees that could be the one her memorial rests against. I'm attaching images from gmaps.
There are a couple of parking places on either side of the tennis courts, where she could have been bundled into a car. It's about 2 blocks directly from where she was allegedly sighted with the indigenous man.

It's also a significant clue, just that her cellphone was left behind. Whoever took her didn't want to steal it and wasn't concerned about any text messages that would be found on it. That alone seems an indication of a random abduction, where perhaps the abductor knew that cellphone pings could trace where she was taken to.
I'm not sure there's anything suspicious about the couple, I gathered police are hoping they may have seen the suspect, or a car. Presumably, the were picked up on a CCTV camera as heading or passing through the area around the right time. I think CCTV cameras were possibly also used to pinpoint the time when Thelma was attacked, rather than, necessarily, a cellphone call.
Doesn't anyone think it's *odd* that her glasses were not discovered until a few days after she went missing, even though there were searches being conducted from the time she was reported missing, and if the glasses had been there at the time, they would have been found?
"Days later her glasses and cell phone were found at Civic Park."

"Tuesday, Thelma’s glasses were found at the Valley Gardens Community Centre, but since then the trail has gone cold."
