I've read through almost the entire 21 threads about MT. There are a few things that seem to be perpetuated through the postings that I question as I haven't seen press releases with these facts Forgive me if I've missed it, but I'm going to ask. I ask as a runner and someone with experiences with cases in NY, PA, and FL.
1. Was MT actually known to run with earbuds in?
2. Was she a member of RunnersWorld where running routes, times, and distances are posted?
3. Was she training for a specific running event as she was an "avid runner"?
4. What did her weekly running routine look like? Was it composed of a long run and shorter daily runs? What was her average running speed?
5. Was her FitBit linked to mapmyrun?
6. Was she known to stick to road running or maybe take a trail if one became available along the way?
7. If she was a "friend" on Facebook, we're her workout posts detailed?
8. Has Google been contacted to see if her boyfriends address was search for Maps locally? They have the ability to see this information and also the ESN of any cell phone in the area to cross reference.
She seems serious about her running as in someone who jogs in place at a red light, so I don't think she would stop in the middle of a workout to "chat". If it were me and someone had to talk or needed guidance, I would tell them to meet me at X in Xminutes when I'm done with my run...
No change of clothes, wouldn't need to go back to the BF house and if she did it might just be to grab a drink and walk outside to meet the person ...
It would be dark at this time so walking and talking and the POI takes her to where his car is and offers her a ride home since it's dark and she's a lone female... After a talk like that one would be comfortable taking a short ride in most cases...
Just my thoughts ..
