1.5 hours later, approx 4:30 AM, JR--a sorta neighbor but not a friend and possibly hostile to CR--reports the last known sighting of LS, at a corner near his place.

Couple of different directions it can go at this point but both rely on JR being the go to guy in this situation, whether for LS alone due to JW or whether JR's is and has been CR's connect and thus JR/friends beating CR and JR being banned from Smallwoods.
My understanding, from what I've read elsewhere, is that JR is a mutual friend of JW and CR, although LS met CR only a few days before she disappeared. It was
JW's friends who confronted and punched CR in the lobby of Smallwood in the early AM hours of 6/3. Apparently, the altercation had to do with
CR being banned from Smallwood.
Whoever is responsible for LS's disappearance, I think JR is the key either way since he has connections to both JW & friends and CR. He was reportedly the last to see LS, but his timeline does not correlate with that of surveillance cameras and other witnesses. IMO, JR is either directly responsible for LS's disappearance, or indirectly responsible in that he is covering for the person(s) responsible, or covering up some illicit activity that contributed to LS's disappearance, whether she was the victim of an accidental death or an abduction.
