Oh my EASTCOASTERINCO You are absolutely correct.There was a second "impersonation" and an arrest. Hmmm, "catch and release scenario"? And then watch to see what he does, where he goes, etc. The problem I have with that is it was so soon after Y's abduction.
Not related. This was a situation of a guy being drunk downtown trying to get into a bar, arguing with the bouncer, and using the "...but I'm a cop" line.
For those of you interested in the area Yingying would have most likely been doing field work while at the University, I took another drive today to capture the area on a weekday. In her picture out in the field, she may look isolated, but the University owned lands are not really isolated. They are on the edge of town and many people use those back roads as a quick way to travel from Savoy to Urbana. Also as you'll be able to see, many researchers/students are out in their test plots together.
Also, at the end of the video you'll see a brief view of Orchard Downs where she was living.For those of you interested in the area Yingying would have most likely been doing field work while at the University, I took another drive today to capture the area on a weekday.

This seems really odd. I think they've found the suspect and car. Billboards are expensive and they've used alot of resources on this case. I know as soon as they have their man in sight, the car pointed out. They'll take down the billboards. Just seems like a stupid thing to happen. Oops the contract ran out. ..Oh well. Cannot believe the company the contract is under were not hounding the sh** out of them for a renewal, that's just good business. I think it was more like it's fine take it down we are investigating our man. Or it did end and they just stayed silent. I think we will hear something soon. I pray! Anybody know where the impound lot is, maybe it's there in view? Satisfy the curious.. Jk Lol
There were other cars... So not remote. [emoji23]
Just saw your PS

I agree that it's possible it could be stolen or someone stole a plate But, it still had to be registered in someone's name. The FBI is using what, 87 field offices? They've found the owners and questioned them in regards to where their car was during the June time frame AND if tht loaned it out. Most owners will quickly give that info bc they didn't have anything to do with the kidnapping. And, anybody in the hot seat would probably say I was at work we have footage too, or I was at school etc. OR "hey look, I let my buddy borrow that car I wasn't with the car his name is_____!" The POI/Suspect may avoid LE, or, the owner, if involved, would possibly avoid LE or get all twisted up when questioned. Also, a recent sale: would probably say "I sold that car in May. Here is the paperwork he signed his name right here". Or "he emailed me, called me" etc. Heres the phone number, email address. If he used a fake name to buy it OR never registered it in his own name LE can get him through those electronic footprints . If an owner is a family member trying to protect a boyfriend, son, father, cousin etc. ( who may have borrowed the car) a simple check with neighbors/friends would, most likely, challenge their statements to LE about it never being loaned out/borrowed. Pretty sure this owner wouldn't even know that LE has that family member in their sights. Most owners will cooperate and bend over backwards to help. Also, LE ran the owners names and researched past crimes they may have committed, it could've been that easy to find the suspect, if not, they branched out looking at other owners, MOO.I am still trying to catch up, and I apologize if this has already been brought up:
From early on, I've felt the perp's vehicle had a stolen plate(s) at the time of Yingying's abduction, and I also think that the Astra does not belong to the perp, but rather it was also stolen. LE has had 2.5 weeks to look into the current owners of Astras, recent/current sale listings and past sales. It just seems to me if the Astra actually belonged to the perp himself, family member or a friend, they would have identified the person and interviewed (or at least try to) him by this point. And that may be what they are doing as we speak, and they just haven't released any info.
I also think if the perp dumped the vehicle at a random location, it would have been found by now, with LE releasing that information to the public. The legitimate owner would have been notified and interviewed. They may also be doing this right now, while keeping that information close to the vest.
So if the Astra was stolen, as well as the plate(s), where could the perp have hidden the vehicle?
One possibility I thought of is an old barn or a large tool shed that's currently not in use. If the perp is local, he would have relatively easy access to such structures, as the UIUC campus is located in a rural area. Say if the perp inherited or purchased a farm with a barn or a rural property with a detached garage or a pole-barn-type structure on it, he could hide the car in there at least for a while. These types of properties would allow the perp to engage in criminal behavior (keeping someone hostage or worse ...) without neighbors thinking anything of it.
My late grandma, who lived in a 100-year-old farmhouse on a 280-acre property in southwest Indiana had an old barn, old shed and a rental property on it. The barn sat empty after my grandad passed away in '76. The rental property sat empty after a pair of sisters moved out to move into a nursing home in the late 80's; my grandma couldn't keep up with the maintenance it required, and it didn't make economic sense to hire someone to fix it up. In the shed, she kept all kinds of stuff she just couldn't let go of for sentimental reasons, including a Ford from sometime in the 50's that my uncle worked on when he was in high school in the 60's. Since there was nothing she really needed in there, she would go inside the shed maybe every couple of years, just to check on it for leaks in the roof, etc. Her closest neighbor lived at least two miles away.
A property like that would be perfect for hiding something for a long, long time, until the perp slips up, or re-offends and gets caught.
