Good morning everyone! Been awhile...
Ok, so I went to Disney for 2 weeks - just got back Wednesday. My son did a tour of UCF so I utilized some spare time in driving a path Dale could take if he's really the perp. I taped it twice but my wonderful husband deleted the vids - he confused them with ones I took of him after 15 hours driving. Anyway, I tried the Beeline, then going the Hoffner route, then another going Nela. Each time I left the corner of Dale's complex & drove straight past the house on Rose Blvd. Each time I travelled the same path back to compare times. I found that Nela was less travelled but took around 20 minutes, however going the Hoffner path I remember driving it in 14 minutes. I truly believe that if I knew the route from driving it over & over then I might have been able to do it in 12 minutes. That's a maybe but a definite maybe lol. If Dale is the true perp, I honestly think Michelle would have been dumped separate from her phone as well as her Hummer. If Dale's the perp, I truly think she was dumped in water close to those paths used between the condo on Goldenrod & the house on Rose. Could she be near the middle of a lake, in it's deepest part, and maybe weighted down with cinder blocks or something? Has a sonar boat been utilized yet? Rope could end up floating, likewise those plastic ties cops use, so could something metal like chains have been used for weight?
If Dale's the perp, instinct tells me she's close - not far away. Idk, could be wrong but I think he'd need more time than he had if he dumped her miles & miles away.
Going back to her phone being tossed over the Nela railing - I stated it appeared like an "eff u" to cops bc a police station is right past it. Well now that I've driven that path, I'm adamant that the action of throwing her cell right there was an "in your face" to local cops.
=> Editing to add that the drive time listed above cannot be done while driving the normal speed limit. If just one car goes slow in front of you, then it throws the time off. If proper stops aren't achieved, then again the lesser time is thrown off. Iow, traffic including school buses, county transit, tourists would have to be avoided, lights & stop signs would have to be in the driver's favor, no construction - otherwise the drive time is closer to 25 minutes even though the miles aren't a lot. Speed bumps, traffic patterns, signs & lights would have to be considered.
