Thank you for the great accounting of what things look like. The google map is older and the canopies are a different color now. I deducted the canopy with the circle based on it NOT having a giant tree across from it, and because the you could see the canopy and entrance from a pretty good distance as it approached (from long parking lot?). Can you verify that I circled the correct canopy? Based on the video and your drive through, can you describe where he walked from, and what the big green thing is in the background behind him as he walks up?
I went to the NGrace site, and I can't find the video clip with 'the big green thing' - link please and then I'll reply. Coincidentally, I expect that I actually will be driving right by the apartment complex today!
I want to emphasize that the little rectangular parking area with the little 3 story apartment buildings and their entryways is just so very 'cozy' - - everything going on there would be readily seen and heard by anyone around. ... pretend you're in a 'normal' sized McDonalds - that parking area is like being in one end of the McDonalds and you can easily see the other end, but with there being little/small 3 story apartment buildings nestled in real 'tight', whoever was there could also easily hear anything going on, as well as easily seeing whatever was happening. This is why, since I myself went in the little parking lot rectangle, with my own eyes, there is but a one in a gwa-billion chance that there could have been a stranger abduction of this little boy --- PLUS, moments before the school van stops, Barway sees his dad and 'uncle' outside, close by, and from the apartment entryway video, it seems near 100 percent likely that someone Barway knew and trusted called to him from the little parking lot.
