It wasn't her credit card. It was her friends credit card who lived on a different floor. She then went downstairs where the police were.
"I then asked (name redacted) how she remembered the number, (name redacted) just stood quietly without speaking for a moment looking at the floor. After a few moments I asked her to give me the receipt that she had or whatever she used to remember the number. (Name redacted) then went to the desk in her room and retrieved a note card with the credit card number on it. (Name redacted) handed me the card, I looked it over and asked what the other numbers on the card were she stated that the(sp?) were friends phone numbers. I noted that written next to the credit card number on the note card was room (number redacted).
I then walked down the hallway of Kennedy Dorm to room (number redacted) and knocked on the door. I was greeted by the resident of the room (name redacted). I asked (name redacted) if she knew her neighbor (name redacted) down the hall she stated that she did not. I asked (name redacted) if she had noticed any unusual charges on her credit card statement. (Name redacted) stated that she had not had any. (Name redacted) then stated that her friend (name redacted) who lives in the same building had charges on her account. I asked her if she could call her friend for me”
Patrolman Pinkham received this index card from Maura, and on the index card was a credit card number with a dorm room number written next to it. He goes down the hall and knocks on the door of this dorm room.
He asks the occupant of the room if she has noticed any unusual charges. She says she has not, but her friend who also lived in Kennedy had charges on her account. Patrolman Pinkham asks her to call her friend and ask her to come down to the room.
This means the owner of the card Maura used that night is not the occupant of the dorm room that Patrolman Pinkham visited. The owner of the card notified her bank, who filed a claim for her, and then she went to the police station to file a report. The occupant of the dorm room had not noticed any unusual charges.
But this dorm room number was written by Maura on the notecard with the credit card number. If the occupant of this dorm room is not the owner of the credit card Maura is known to have used, why did Maura write this number on the index card? The occupant said she did not know Maura.
So why would she write the number of a stranger’s dorm room on an index card with somebody else’s credit card number on it? Doesn’t this make it more likely that the other numbers were credit card numbers and not phone numbers?
If the police didn’t think the other numbers were credit card numbers, why did Patrolman Pinkham knock on the door of the dorm room?
Police had already spoken to the owner of the card, and presumably knew her address. Patrolman Pinkham should know that the girl in the dorm room is not the owner of the card, but he still wants to talk to her. Why?
ETA The friend didn't just happen to be in the hall either, she was called on the phone, so this is still somewhat strange.
