I looked at the map that was posted of the former marine's apartment building and all the surrounding business. That's a pretty busy area. There are not to many places I've been in CBus that don't have cameras in the parking lots.
The marshals and the Cbus police have both said that the former marine's report sounds creditable. Let's not forget they had air support and tons of cops out that night. I still don't think they do that unless they have reason to believe.
I guess what I am saying......I believe they have the car on video. If not from that apt...at least from the surrounding businesses. From news videos of the apt complex....that apt building is lit up like daylight. Plus they are saying they have video from Meijers.
Jami Kinton (the reporter from mansfieldnewsjournal) was talking to Laura, the former marine...but after the marine talked to the US marshalls...the marshalls have told all involved in the case not to talk to reporters anymore. That was reported on Jami Kintons' twitter feed by Jami herself.

Those who spotted Nate Summerfield are no longer allowed to talk to media.

How many of us on here would notice our licence plates switched? To be honest...I wouldn't. The big question....would NS take the time to switch the plates...or would he just steal them and not bother with switching? I think somebody would notice if they didn't have plates (esp since we have to have front and backs) but I'm not sure we would notice if he just switched them with his.
Also, he could have stolen the plates of an out-of-state car. Some state's require 2 plates, but some states only 1. Even if he took his 2 plates off his car and switched them with a one state...like Louisiana....how would we know? Say for example I see a car like his and it has a LA tag on it and some front end damage...I wouldn't know the difference. Also, say I was the LA car and I was staying in the motel overnight. I might not notice my tag was gone or switched with an Ohio tag until a cop pulled me over. Plus, you can add in the fact that some people travel with trailers or campers on the back...and may not notice their plates gone.
It's always been my opinion that he's on some dirt road somewhere in the middle of nowhere..dead with some long suicide note beside him singing about "woo is me" It's either that, or he has a really good place that he planned to go beforehand. Like a friend's empty cabin that he's heard about and knows nobody is there or he has somebody helping him.
Sorry for the long post. Just some thoughts I had this morning. I hope this comes to an end today.
