I'm sorry I'm still not following. Yes her cell phone "pinged" at 2:25
At the cell towers near mountain barn....but in a town that doesn't even have cable cell towers are spread out too, so it's possible that tower was just the nearest to her even if she had been home at her moms just through those woods.
I am confused also as to what you mean by a cut through from ball hill to Worcester road? Ball hill runs into Worcester road.
Apologies for being confusing, ThinkHard. The clearing that runs between the two roads with the electric lines. It's just across Ball Hill Road from Cobb Lake. Right here from on Street view
There's a lot about this crime that makes me feel where she was found was staged to look like a random act of violence and a crime of opportunity.
Given the police log reports of a car around 115 and another at 3...I do wonder if she was picked up by a vehicle (maybe willingly) and something happened and then the perp tried to cover it up and point the investigation in a different direction.
also ps I'm not trying to doubt you just wanted to understand your train of thought. Also just FYI I am local so some of the things I might say aren't in any attempt to "argue" with your perspective...just rather to give local insight that hopefully would be helpful in hashing out theories/possibilities.
I very much and truly appreciate your patience and that you respond at all. Being local makes you an absolutely fabulous source for any kind of feedback, thank you.
