Sorry, I don't post much on this thread, but after reading the developments today, my thought is that the term "journal" might be a regional term for Gamble. My husband is Aussie and I just asked him what he calls his binder for work that details his appointments and he said "my journal". If this is the case, this may not have been a journal or diary in the sense we are used to, but more an appointment book of sorts. I'm leaning toward EJ writing down info before leaving-say while she was on the phone or speaking with someone- with directions and information on how she will identify the couple that will be meeting with her. Gamble may be relating the story not from a writing EJ made after the exhange, but rather his interpretation of how that meeting went from notes EJ took. KWIM? I also think that because Gamble uses the term "someone she trusted" I think the notes had a name on it-maybe a name that was used thru-out her writing that implied some type of feeling of trust for the person. Probably only a first name and that's why they don't have all the missing pieces of the puzzle yet. I also think that this record could have been found in the landfill search...totally speculating here.
I sincerely hope they are on a hot trail and getting closer to Gabriel. Shine your light little boy-they are looking for you and no one's giving up until you are found!!!
This is very helpful. So it may not be a diary, but just a notebook, in which she wrote down the directions to the park. That makes a lot more sense to me than keeping a diary.
