I don' t understand what is so suspect about the heart to the bf, even if it was the last text she sent. It doesn't mean she was intending it to be the last and it doesn't mean it has extra significance. Think of all the possible "las messages" you could be reported as sending to someone if it were your last before going missing. I understand it's a theory and opinion ( that it holds significance), what I'm trying to figure out is the reasoning behind the theory (apart from those question whether or not she sent I, I understand some have doubts regarding that).
I am of the theory the if it's an accurate report and was her last text, there's no significance to it beyond tragically, being her last text. Trying to understand another POV of my fellow Sleuthers.
Thank you for any insight you can give.

"He said she was texting away on her phone as she was walking toward her home," the elder Campbell said.
At 2:52 p.m., as he was riding the bus home, Hernandez texted her boyfriend a heart, James Campbell said.
"That was the last he heard from her," James Campbell said.
So if she was texting away who was she texting? All her BF got was a heart?
I really think the heart could go either way....an in the moment heart of a smitten teenager who can't wait to see her bf and let him know she is thinking of him OR a girl about to leave and feeling a little guilty about it, leaving him a little something.
I am not saying she was kidnapped or ran away, I am really stumped by this whole thing but I just don't think the heart can give us a good clue of which way her thoughts were going. I just REALLY hope they find her soon!
That was also my thoughts on it, that it's not strange at all. In my opinion, it's not a relative piece to the puzzle of her missing, I've just been trying to figure out other points of view on the focus on it, usually I get other points of view without needing it explained LOL, this one has just baffled me.My 15 year old texts hearts to me, her grandmother, her little sister, her friends (she doesn't have a boyfriend). It's not that strange for a teenaged girl to be texting hearts from her phone.
The messenger would not be Abby, it would be the only person that has ever mentioned that heart, he has talked about it on MSM. We don't know anything about the heart from LE, we don't know what was written just before the heart, if there was a heart. She was seen texting, that's it!
I searched this a bit, and didn't get definite answers. How old a scent can a dog pick up and follow? Its been two weeks, what's the time limit on this? Does anyone know?
I thought I had read that from a verified SAR, as well... That dogs can pick up the "freshest" scent...I will ask one of our verified SAR to come check out this thread. (brb.. will get you the link to our SAR question and answer thread as well..)
from what I have learned over the years from our verified SAR is that tracking dogs can follow "freshest" scent (meaning, for example, even if she had walked the same route every day the dogs can actually pick up the freshest scent. Sarx explained it like this one time: say you have an old vase of flowers in your house but you then put out a new vase of fresh flowers: you will be able to smell the fresher flowers over the older flowers)
brb with the link to the q/a thread
(as for how long the scent can stick around: in the amber dubois case dogs were able to track to close by where her body was found almost a year after her abduction) I think it largely depends on weather, the type of dog, etc.
I thought I had read that from a verified SAR, as well... That dogs can pick up the "freshest" scent...
But the analogy of old flowers... And new flowers... Is a great way of understanding it... And new to me!
thanks! :seeya:
