Another question about her running out of gas. I knew I had read it somewhere and just was able to find this info from her sister about her activities the day before her disappearance:
“Cindy Taylor spoke to Deborah on Saturday, Jan. 9, two days before she disappeared. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, she said. She was told after her sister’s disappearance that Deborah had been doing regular activities such as housework, grocery shopping, paying bills, and
even put gas in her car the day before.”

I kept thinking about this when I read she ran out of gas. I didn’t realize until now that Meacham, OR, where her car was found is only about 180 miles, or 2.5 hrs, from where she left - Star, ID.
This isn’t an exact number, as it doesn’t account for specific locations of her home or the mile marker (284) where her car was found, but based on what we know I do wonder: A) if she had a relatively full tank of gas, what had she been up to all day to end up only about 180 miles from home with no gas left (2012 Toyota RAV4 fuel tank capacity should give her about 320-350 miles worth of gas); and B) where had she been all day, if she left at 9am and didn’t run out of gas until 5pm? Or possibly- how long had she been sitting on the side of the highway?
Not sure any of it means anything, but I wonder if Oregon DOT interstate cctv has shown her entering or exiting I-84 at any point along the way and, if so, it’d be interesting to note the time stamps on those sightings so as to know if she maybe stopped in any towns or rest stops along the way? And if so, did she have any contact w anyone?
