According to early reports, the civic park was searched by police 'again' on Tuesday, because her phone had pinged the area, and that afternoon it was found. Police tape up at Valley Gardens C.C. amid search for Thelma KrullDoesn'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."

To me, it's more surprising that her cellphone wasn't immediately noticed by a member of the public. I'd walk past a pair of glasses, but not a cellphone.
To me, that means they were quite hidden from both the public on the walking path, and the people who had already searched the area, maybe at the base of a tree (that's where the memorial was placed).
After finding her things, forensic examiners also found evidence she had suffered a 'medical event' at that same location. I would guess they found blood.
If the items were planted, it seems to me the perp would put them somewhere other than where the incident occurred, since knowing the location allowed police to examine all the CCTV footage.
