Wait, didn't you also later add that you saw two guys speed away in a blue car, and then you later sat down at a bar (Maybe even Kilroy's?) next to two guys that you recognized from Gatto's blog (implying it was ZO and friend) and that they were on the phone with a "Jay"?
(I'm too lazy to search for this post, but I'm pretty sure that was the gist of it. ) So, how does this part of your story fit in?
Don't take my skepticism personally, I think sometimes we have little pieces of information and it can be easy to read stories into them that are suggested by others. We all do this, and it's because we want to find Lauren. But some of theories seem pretty far fetched, IMO. For example, all I see with the Bill Warner theory is that he made a list of missing blonde girls. Are there suspects and evidence in the other cases? Is there any evidence pointing to the idea that it is a trucker or sex-traffic ring, or whatever, beyond just the idea that it could be?
I get that you, and others, have the same criticism about theories concerning the POI. But the difference is that they were actually named Persons of Interest by LE. They are the last to be seen with Lauren, and their stories don't add up.
I'm sorry Abbey. I have only posted the short version online. The government has the long version. The little blue car was not added later in a recollection. It was always there. Did I ever mention that we had a camera?
A dark skinned man came charging after a blonde haired woman who was with me in August of 2011. It happened in the alley near 10th and College Village where Lauren dropped her keys and was last seen on video.
The man suddenly stopped when he saw the blonde was not alone. A car comes rushing to meet him and they speed towards Smallwood. But this is not the end of the story. They turn around and came back again. The blonde jumps behind a pole at 10th and College Village and snapped their picture. Two guys are in the car. One in front, the other by himself in the back seat. No one was on the passenger side of that car.
We showed that photo to a commander of the US Navy Seals. He is a guy who has plenty of experience with abductions in the Middle Eastern Wars.
He explained how this might have been the real thing. One guy sits in the front to drive the car. The other in the back to control the girl. That's how you do an abduction.
We still have the photo and it is time and date stamped. It's not a fake.
I have not posted it here because the people are visible in the car.
Now as far as me doing some drinking at Sports, I was thirsty. You can't be too surprised that Lauren's friends would also be there as the place is in the shadow of Smallwood. The person who sat right next to me was not ZO and in fact was not a guy.
The last public statement from the police says no one has been cleared. So, I don't know who took Lauren. But, I agree with Rob Spierer. It was someone connected to that night and that area.
