I've been following from the start and posting now and then but I just took a few days to just read the forum. I couldn't find anything worth adding that wasn't mentioned. I'm going to post a few thoughts as speculation based on what's known.
As time passes, this is beginning to look like the perfect crime. No witness, no body, no digital trail, vehicle at home perfectly parked, etc. which to me means, it must have been somebody with intimate knowledge of her daily happenings. I base my theory starting with what we know, we know for certain that DS vehicle was at her apartment complex in her very specific parking spot, after work (how it got there is a whole other study). People with such intimate knowledge of her routine would likely be (no particular order) 1. Her friend. 2. Mountain man. 3. FG. 4. Apartment complex renter. If it's not a random crime, based on what we know from sleuthing, I don't see any other possibilities as currently known.
We know she ASKED to leave work early based on MSM reports. While not indicated, to me, this signals an urgent and or unexpected event of some type. What triggered her request to leave early? I don't think it was to simply call it a day but rather event driven. This also helps me exclude a random act. So, what's the event driving her request to leave early? This may explain the reason for a request of her demeanor leaving work from her mom
My internal search for what type of event would drive this request based on what we know came up with the following (no particular order) Drug, Relationship, and Friend driven events :
Drug related event driver: Did she leave to "get a bag" as originally reported? Was her hook-up on a specific time schedule and she had to leave work early to guarantee she would have a small party favor? Was her hook-up FG or an acquaintance? Was she just picking up a bag from somewhere in the complex and a renter took advantage? All plausible imo.
Relationship event driver: Surprisingly, I haven't seen much discussion on the topic. From what I can tell based on pictures and tags, and comments, she was pretty clearly in some type of relationship with Mountain Man. Mountain Man seems like the most likely to travel across state lines. I'll go with plausible. I don't see FG fitting into the relationship scenario he didn't seem to be her "type". But, DS does seem to be FG's "type". Is this enough to trigger whatever has happened? Want most, what you can not have? Plausible imo
Friend driven event: Here's the thing with this scenario, anyway you draw it up, DS meets with her friend. Was it to discuss a critical development in the infant case? Was the friend experiencing an emotionally dangerous situation? Any way you dice it, the friend has to be on the radar under a friend driven event. I have noticed that DS has a friend whom frequently posts during times which she would be asleep under different circumstances. I also noticed a friend of DS on the FDS page post an emotional video, pleading for her safe return. I looked close and I found it strange there wasn't a tear in her eye after such an emotional plea. Maybe she's just out of tears, whom I to guess? But, a friend driven event puts her friend on the radar.
So, there you have it. That's all I have to contribute until we have some developments that's going to be it from me. It's either FG/acquaintance, her friend, mountain man, or apartment complex renter. Dang, we already knew this........:scared:
