I wonder if Abigail liked geocaching. If she frequently walked home alone, sometimes through the woods instead of staying on Eagle's Way or taking the bus home, then it's possible that's something she could have done while walking home. I don't know if it's at all relevant, but here's a map of some geocaches around North Conway and Kennett High School.:

I wonder if anyone knew about her talking to an "older boy" and intercepted her before she could meet up. If I was meeting a guy I would probably tell a friend out of excitement. Maybe word got around to someone who didn't approve.

I don't want to go any further but you could read between the lines.

What a cool concept - everyone loves a treasure hunt! I'm surprised there are four geocaches on Eagle's Way alone. This game potentially brings all sorts of people into the picture. I wonder if kids in Conway did this or if it is mainly an adult game.

I think they have a lot of information they are not sharing about why Abby was walking that day.

Why would a girl walk down that way 2 miles when she could ride the school bus with her boyfriend on it?

Nobody was at home so it made no difference if she arrived early or late..school bus vs walking.

I think the boyfriend and her friends know why Abby chose to walk that day. Well maybe not the boyfriend but her friends and her cell phone would give a lot of info.

I am not sure of this but can LE get records of calls and conversations on cell phones from the provider? If yes they have a ton of info.

The longer we wait...the more I fear for Abby.

Is there a good map somewhere here that I can take a look at to see the route she usually took when she walked home.

Also does anybody happen to know how often she chose to walk home? Was this unusual or was she a walker and enjoyed it?
 
There are lots of motels, camping areas, etc in that area. So many people passing through the area, especially for the long weekend. Like searching for a needle in a haystack. Perhaps asking businesses to search for her "phone" is also a way of asking them to search for anything else that might belong to Abby. For local news, WMUR is really the NH station. Fox tends to be "over the top" ...... MO, FWIW!

For those like me that had no idea what geocaching was..is

Geocaching
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world.

A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name. After signing the log, the cache must be placed back exactly where the person found it. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers (Tupperware or similar) or ammunition boxes can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little financial value, although sometimes they are sentimental. Geocaching shares many aspects with benchmarking, trigpointing, orienteering, treasure-hunting, letterboxing, and waymarking.

Police investigate suspicious incident outside Springfield school

SPRINGFIELD, Vt. -
Springfield police are investigating a report of a suspicious man at the Riverside Middle School.

In an email to parents -- school officials said -- Thursday afternoon a middle school student was sitting in front of the gym when she was approached by a man who tried to find out where she lived and her phone number. He then said he was going to her home.

Police say the student got scared and fled. The man allegedly tried to force his way into the locker room where she was hiding.

The suspect was dressed in black with short brown hair and scars on his face. Police say he was driving an older model brown or tan sedan.

NEWBURY — Vermont State Police troopers are investigating an incident in which they say someone followed and videotaped a school bus on its route in Newbury.

Police say that on Thursday afternoon a white van followed the bus as it traveled on the Route 5 corridor. Passengers took video of all the stops the bus made on its route.

The car was registered to a rental company.

Police say no crime was committed by anyone in the van, but police consider the incident suspicious.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the state police in Bradford.
 
715 miles from NH to VA. Weren't there a lot of young girls missing on some highway leading North out of VA?

I closely followed the Morgan Harrington abduction and murder and I remember it was called the Highway of Death.

Many young girls died or were abducted.

One young woman on her way to meet her mother for lunch.
A couple of women found murdered in their car.
A couple of teens found murdered.

Perhaps somebody more familiar with that area could speak to this.

To snatch somebody and not leave a clue makes me think this is one smart person that has experience in abducting and not getting caught.

Thanks for posting the definition of geocaching - I should have specified what I was talking about (for anyone who isn't familiar with it) when I asked the question! :)

Something is just off with all of this.

The parent and sister are pleading.

The boyfriends dad is asking.

The police are searching.

Bloggers are blogging.

But....something is off and I can't put my finger on it.

Perhaps it's the lack of urgency I am feeling.

I donno!

Awesome, thank you.
It just seems so odd that LE would rule out a connection so quickly.
It's certainly possible but it seems irresponsible of them to do so immediately, in my opinion. :twocents:

Agree. Hoping this isn't some "alphabet" freak. Will really be on edge if a girl next goes missing whose name begins with "B".

I don't think that is going to happen. I'm in the southern part of the state and I think my experience with school practices is typical.

Elementary schools monitor students very closely while they are in the school's custody, i.e. on school grounds during the school day. The main door has a buzz-in system for visitors. The other doors have either a badge swipper (not sure what you call those things) or keypad for staff members to access. Children on special errands like bringing attendance reports to the office are always in pairs.

If a parent wants to dismiss a child during the school day, the parent or adult they have designated in writing must be buzzed into the school, check in at the office, show identification if the staff doesn't recognize them, and sign the child out.

Students in grade school are led to their buses in bus lines or are brought to the designated parent pickup area. Parents fill out a dismissal plan at the beginning of the year. Any deviations, like I am picking up Susie at dismissal instead of having her take the bus, require notice to the office in advance.

Students must bring in notes in writing from both sets of parents if one student is going to another's after school. The staff escorts or monitors walkers or bike riders to the edge of school property.

Middle school has much less rigid policies. In middle school, visitors must still be buzzed in and students must be dismissed by an adult going in to the office and signing them out. But IDs of the adults are rarely checked unless the staff has reason to suspect something is "off."

Middle school students can enter and exit various doors during the start and end of the school day. Parents complete a dismissal form at the beginning of the year but it is just for informational purposes. Deviations don't require any notice. Any kid who wants to take a different bus to a friends's after school needs to bring a note in from his or her parent in order to obtain a bus pass. That's probably because of the bus company regulations. The friend's parent does not need to write a note.

School administrators and staff are outside when students are arriving and at dismissal to monitor behavior and facilitate traffic flow. No one checks who is going where.

Our high school is even looser. My kids go to a large, regional high school. Regional schools are fairly common in NH. But ours is unusual because there are many buildings spread over a huge campus. There isn't even one administrative/attendance office, there are at least two per grade and they are in different buildings around campus. Visitors are supposed to "check in" but it is not apparent where you are supposed to check in.

The size and layout of our high school is unusual but I think the policies are similar in other NH high schools. The high school does not monitor where students are going after school. They may have a policy of needing passes to take a different bus, but here at least bus drivers don't check for them.

With all the different places high school students could be going after school, it would be a logisitical nightmare for schools to check. They are responsible for students while they are on campus and during the school day or school-sponsored activities.

I know this is a very long post, but I thought it may help. While I certainly understand your sentiment, and perhaps it works that way elsewhere, I don't think it'll happen here. We're Yankees and we don't want everyone knowing our business. And this is the Life Free or Die state, which means NH is known for not wanting government oversight. Schools here are run separately from town government. SAUs (School Administrative Units) are a separate entity. In other states I've lived in, school districts are part of the town government.
