Thanks, Jules71. Your input has been invaluable to me through out this case. I just remembered being left with the impression that he was saying there really was nothing unusual about the condition or placement of the bikes nor the condition or placement of the purse. He seemed to be saying the purse looked as if it had just been set down. He did say the purse was 10 feet east of the bikes and 2 feet from the fence. I remember that distinctly. I was wondering why some WSers were posting the purse was found 20 feet from the bikes and then I watched a video with JVM and she made that statement very early on. I think she was just mistaken. <snipped for space>
Thanks to both of you, MotherOcean and Jules71!
I've had the same questions about both the condition of the bikes and placement of the purse, and have been looking hard for that info. Apologies if it's already been posted, I'm catching up.
Were the bikes damaged? Not damaged? Laying across the path? Against the fence?
Was the purse seemingly dropped, set down neatly, thrown? My memory is telling me that early on the cell phone was near the purse but not in it. I might've misread something. 10' has become 20' over time and I've heard both highway side and lake side.
I'm so confused.
