BBMImpressive work on this timeline. Minor differences between yours and the timeline info I had available, but any you look at it, by "Captain" George's own comments to the dispatcher, the boy walked from the clubhouse all the way to the 90 degree turn in the "back sidewalk" and started running at 02:06:65 into the call.
How do we know it's the 90 degree turn in the back sidewalk?
(1) Because that's the most direct route home for TM
(2) Because it's the ONLY place he could be running southwards towards the "back gate" and meet these qualifiers put out by the "Captain's" father:
Once you understand that the boy clearly walked 422 feet from point A to point B in 126 seconds, it's simple arithmetic to realize he did not dawdle, tarry, or "case the houses out" as the "Captain" was trying to tell the dispatcher.
He was very simply a boy trying to take candy home to his brother and was willing to walk in the rain to do it.
Let's not jump to conclusions. It was just said that he was only out of the house because he begged his dad to let him go to the store. Not quite the story we heard from the beginning.
