I can’t agree with you on this, ps149. Anyone can write pulp fiction that exploits a news story. That doesn’t make it credible documentation. Brewer may well have a “drifter” friend – but that doesn’t make him the person there that night. In fact the ad hoc book only seems to add more fiction to an already highly fabricated story told by the SCPD. Despite the two 911 calls (Coletti and Brennan) of a girl running scared and screaming for help, when SCPD arrived at Oak Beach that morning they didn’t bother to secure the front gate surveillance tapes. Shannan ran directly past the cameras (40°38'26.19"N 73°16'40.28"W – Bingmaps street view). There was a reason this incident was disregarded in May 2010. I spent years doing PR for a major company – so I know how media relations works. If that third person at Brewer’s was not important and he truly was a nobody “drifter”, his name would not have been so guardedly kept out of the press. His presence at the scene of what became a major news story is just as crucial as Brewer’s or Pak’s. As far as I know, 3rd guy’s name has never been disclosed and his presence that morning at Brewer's has barely been acknowledged – and what has been acknowledged was discounted for us. That’s significant to me.
I think it’s possible whoever was at Brewer’s got dressed, got in his vehicle to go home, took a right onto Anchor Way, and when he got to the intersection of Anchor and Hatch he realized the girl who got hysterical at Brewer’s was now in Brennan’s driveway. I think he knew what had made her hysterical at Brewer's and that's why he pulled her into his car. That intersection (40°38'20.36"N 73°16'37.47"W) is where Shannan’s jacket was found.
