Do you have a link for this press conference, Kemo? The public information officer's name is Captain Joe Qualters, btw.The Presser with Capt Joe Palters, Public Info officer, had some interesting information as well as a lot of tantalizing refusals to disclose information. There was on piece of information that appears to be particularly interesting. Apparently there is a video record of LS and "an acquaintance" (I’m betting its JR) in the alleyway after 3:00 AM this is interesting because it means that after she returned with CR to his Apt (after the altercation at the Smallwood) she was out again. She apparently left the apt building with someone after she returned with CR. The altercation took place around 2:40 and it is only a 5 minute walk to CR's apt. This alley is also where the keys were found. Someone asked about finding "Lauren's keys" and the Captain said "keys were found in the alley" but was not specific that they were hers
LS's boyfriend JW was brought up. The Capt. did not want to talk about his whereabouts that night. Sounds like that is still “an issue”.
The Capt descried the "vehicle checkpoint" that was set up this morning. Apparently 135 cars were stopped. We don't know the exact time period the checkpoint ran, but it suggests that there was a certain amount of traffic on College the night it happened. Since the walk from JR's apt to the Smallwood would take less than five minutes, there would limited time for an abduction (by either a stranger or a "know person") and there would be a good chance that someone driving by would have seen something.
The fact that the video in the alley caught LS after 3:00 but no later, it suggests she never walked that route again and any activity that took place in the alley would be recorded. If something had happened in JR/CR's apt building, it would seem the alley would be the most likely way LS would have been removed from the building. The alternative would be a relatively well traveled road.
A question I found myself wondering is "What is the relationship between JR and JW?" Did they know each other? were they friends, rivals ?
ETA: I think you're referring to Lt. Parker. I thought you meant there was a separate interview with Qualters.
