I'm not trying to drive you all crazy but also don't want to influence what you might see vs what I think I see. It's not a person. What I see is immediately to the left of the stone pillar.
Good morning. I know a lot of us are completely bleary eyed from scrutinizing photos, but something has been bothering me for awhile and I haven't seen it mentioned. First pic below is Abby on the bridge, no editing done by me except for the yellow box, lower left corner. Second pic is same photo with brightness/contrast tweak. Third is a zoomed in section of that corner with brightness/contrast tweak. Staring makes it worse, just take a glance. Do you see anything there?
Possibly a figure crouching behind the pillar appearing to be wearing something navy blue? I think this is a viable clue as to BG's whereabouts before he catches up with the girls. I haven't taken much stock in finding people or cars, etc., in every picture. But honestly, I do see this one and, if it were me, I might be tempted to call LE. Chances are their experts would have scrutinized every pixel of every picture for clues but, you never know. If this were to turn out to be BG then there might be evidence of his being there at that spot that could help to identify him.
Hi, you posted my answer before my edit. I added the following:

I do not see what you are looking at but I definitely see something blue between the pillars that I think are worthy of further investigation.IMO

Dang, I have to leave for a few hours. Look forward to returning with ya'll having figured this out!
Keeping in mind the metal posts (JMO based on the size of the bridge ties) are a few inches wide and the cement post is at most one foot square, where can a human hide there? Not being snarky I just don't think I understand where a grown man can be crouching behind something of that size.. ?

What is the typical size of mainline railroad ties?
Standard Ties = 7 x 9 x 8.5 or 9 long (mostly 8.5 --- some 7x8 and 6x8 also in use)
Bridge Ties = AREMA Standard is no smaller than 10' long by 8" wide.

What I think I see is a bicycle leaning against the left corner of the pillar. Handlebars are touching the corner of the pillar. Sun hitting the back wheel rim. Bicycle is facing us. JMO
Last season's dead weeds and brush; along with some stone or rubble, possibly from the pillar itself.
