This map just made me think that someone either knew mom was in the car in the parking lot, or someone intentionally parked along that back road there in order to make watching kids easier. I won't go so far as to say this was planned (who knows?), but clearly, someone was aware that mom was likely in the car at the other side from the direction they took Dulce. I can't help but feel like someone was parked there, waiting, just to watch the kids then this opportunity presented itself - two small kids, one only 3yrs old... this poor kid was easy pickings for someone.
I've read her ice cream and spoon haven't been found either, so that implies (to me anyhow) that she went with someone probably willingly enough. Led away, lured away with the promise of who knows what!
I feel for her little brother! I can't imagine how he's going to feel as he grows up, knowing he was right there beside her when she was taken (whether or not she comes home).
Has the brothers water ice/ice cream container and spoon been found?
Possibly. The fact it was found on the ground supports that portion of the timeline. I really would love to know where Dulce's is. On the ground away from the park would support on foot. Not finding it supports vehicle. Another curious point is that you would assume at some point she would have become very vocal about the abduction which further supports the vehicle as no abductor want's to be seen carrying a screaming and kicking child, OR that she knew or felt comfortable with the abductor. Cause and effect.It was on the ground, so maybe he was pushed away when his sister was taken?
That's one of the reasons that I wonder if this was a routine - to take the children for ice cream, then to the playground, to always park in the same place, and to remain in the car while the children were alone 50 yards away and obscured by trees and the basketball court. It this is true, then it is quite possible someone noticed the pattern and made a decision to park behind the red/white building and wait for the opportunity to abduct a young girl.
The university uses land in the southern counties for research and agricultural studies. But, I see you already found that these are not campuses.No school campuses, per se, but other departments, both in Bridgeton:
Rutgers Food Innovation Center
Quick Info (Rutgers NJAES)

Actually Bridgeton's school colors are maroon and white. I can see black getting mixed in with that.I know, my only connection when I saw Rutgers is Red and Black, same colors as what the perp was wearing.
Somewhere online, I read that the kids usually had their dog with them, but didn't on this occasion b/c mom was aware that some people found the dog scary. That made me wonder if someone had previously spoken to mom at that park about the dog being around the kids? Had the dog ever been unfriendly towards anyone in particular at the park before? I'd be thinking about that if I were LE or involved in this case, because dogs just know. And if a dog knew something on a prior visit, or suspected something or someone of being up to no good? I'd be inclined to follow that up!
Also in one instance didn't she say she called her brother,to bring the dog,and look for Dulce,before they called police. Then in another report it says police were called right away????? I'm so confused.Here is something.
Mother of missing 5-year-old renews appeal for public help: ‘She’s just an innocent girl'
"Alavez Perez has said she drove to the park with her 8-year-old sister, 3-year-old son, and Dulce after buying ice cream. She said she stayed in the car with her sister to talk about homework while Dulce and her brother went to the playground, 30 yards away.
She originally said the boy returned crying and pointing to some buildings near the playground.
But on Monday, Alavez Perez said that when her sister said she could not see the younger children, they went to check on them and found the little boy crying. His ice cream was on the ground and he was pointing at buildings at the playground, she said."
No mention of how long it took her to notice Dulce was missing.
This playground is down behind the high school and it occurred on a school day, a Monday.
I wonder how many high school students cut down past the playground and the basketball courts and cut through the wooded part of the park and cross into the residential area where she lived on their way home from school.
I wonder if LE has looked at the male high school students as school is let out to see if any walk that way and match the description.
I still think she was taken through the woods down to Jeddy's Pond.
