Horrible news. Rest in peace Valerie.

According to Google maps - his registered sex offender address was within 5 minutes of Thomas Street Tavern (1.9 miles). Wonder what reason he had to move from NY to NC. And, of course, he moves to a college town...
Good catch!
Here's a map:

Boy did he pick the wrong girl!
A police chiefs daughter........I was hoping that she was alive, so sad.
I agree with your speculation about the planning. The proximity of the Tavern and him having a unit at the storage facility seems more than coincidental, imo. And that makes me more than curious just how Valerie knew him, and after seeing the rap sheet and mug shot, why she'd even be leaving the tavern with him. Now that her body has been found and after he is arrested, I hope her friends can shed more light on what may have happened. MOOIn terms of a timeline....
She goes missing from parking lot near Thomas Street Tavern at about 1:30 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
He checks out of Econolodge on Friday.
Econolodge, his house and Mini storage facility are searched Saturday night and she is found.
The bar manager said that they had video and they turned over purchase receipts from Tuesday night to police.
I wonder if he paid for his drinks with a credit card (like an idiot) and from that they started the process of tracking his credit card purchases at the motel and the rental of the mini storage facility.
Although the car he was in was stolen, they could probably get the license tag from surveilllance video at the bar, motel or mini-storage facility.
So, it seems likely that she was killed before Friday because that's when he left the hotel. I think she was taken straight from Thomas Street Tavern to the Mini Storage facility. I don't think he would risk taking her to the motel.
The area of the mini-storage facility is a low-rent, run-down, small business type of area where there many businesses have gone under. There used to be a Sonny's restaurant and a Babytown store on Monoe Road in that area, but both closed.
I would like to know when he rented the mini-storage facility. This is beginning to look like he was stalking her waiting for the perfect opportunity to grab her. I think he had this all planned. This was not just random.
I also think that he was likely parked vey close to where her car was so that when he grabbed her, he could get her in his vehicle very quickly.
I would also like to know if he was registered as a student at CPCC
Was Valerie planning to meet him at the bar? Or did she meet him while waiting for someone else?
Or did he just seem like a 'nice guy' who offered to walk her to her car when she was leaving?
Makes me sick and so sad.
RIP Valerie. And prayers for your heartbroken family.
This makes the most sense to me also. However I'd still like to know when her friends left and why she didn't leave with them. If only she had..... MOOHer friends said that she had been talking to him at the bar, but that they didn't know him.
So, that makes me think that he was stalking her, chatted with her in the bar, then walked out at the same time that she did and offered to make sure she made it to her car safely.
