Maybe I'm just aware of things but if I knew someone was missing and I saw a backpack at 12am and checked it out the next morning I would have thought it was odd not just someone leaving it.
He didn't know she was missing.

I think my greater point was missed in that, just a random backpack outside would be noticed and reported especially if it was 5 days after she was missing and the whole city knew she was missing. The entire point in bringing up terrorism was that EVEN if people didn't know she was missing you would think they would be vigilant enough to realize the backpack was out of place. My statement was merely a reason why I believe that the backpack was left after the fact not something dumped and not found for 5 days. When I search for lost dogs I not only walk the area but I also drive every road in the area so even search and rescue and people wanting to help would have driven down this street.
It wasn't 5 days for the backpack. The amber alert was late Friday and on 10 PM news. The backpack was spotted very early Sunday morning/Late Saturday night.
In the last thread someone said the backpack was found several days after Jessica disappeared. She vanished on Friday and the backpack was reported to police on Sunday, having been placed there between 6:45 PM and 12am to 1am (Saturday evening/night).
Disappeared 10/5. Backpack placed 10/6 and reported to LE on 10/7.
MOO
Nothing personal but the man that found the backpack must have been pretty unaware. The backpack was found less than a mile from her house correct? I'm sure the news on the morning of the 6th lead with the Amber Alert. Going that full day having no clue is being cut off from the world. Not in anyway saying he's involved just completely unaware. I live close enough to a school that in my comings and goings if something major was going on i'd notice.

Hard to tell.. is it also a cross?
It was actually several miles away, in a completely different neighborhood. Also, other than the news/television/internet, there isn't an easy way for people to be aware of Amber Alerts. Also, he discovered the backpack days after Jessica went missing. If my recollection is correct, he emailed his community listserv thinking it was dropped on his property by some neighborhood kid.
Thanks, gliving for highlighting that. The remains were INSIDE the bag, not scattered by animals.
I'm sure he didn't know she was missing I just don't get how someone can be that unaware.

Good. So the search paper had done a 5 mile perimeter and the bag was found the night of the second full search paper just out of the search.
Obviously this isn't about the person who found the bag but, from Sat AM till he left at 6:30 he didn't turn on the TV or radio once? He didn't notice the helicopters in the area. He didn't listen to the radio in the car when he left at 6:30 to go whereever he was going that didn't bring him back till late that night.

Jessica Ridgeway case: Neighbor noticed backpack on Superior street night before
SUPERIOR -- A Superior resident who helped discover what turned out to be missing 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway's backpack said he and his wife first noticed the bag sitting on the sidewalk next to their home just after midnight Saturday -- more than 12 hours before it came to the attention of authorities.
The man, who wished to remain anonymous due to the ongoing nature of the investigation, said he could see the backpack wasn't his family's, and, given the hour of night, decided not to deal with it until morning.
