So where is grandma? What can she tell us about this situation.

Stern’s 1994, silver, four-door Olds 88 was found, by itself, on the crest of the Route 35 bridge in Belmar late Friday night, not long after she was last seen at home.
Investigators said the car was functional and the keys were inside. Neptune police towed it and advsed Neptune City police to conduct a welfare check at the home of the family member who is the registered owner.
Officers found the door unlocked and no one inside, and later learned that no one in Stern’s family knew where she had gone.
Was it stated anywhere that SS was seen "leaving" her residence at 11:45?

So the NamUs case report says that her clothing and accessories are unknown, unless they have not updated that information.. perhaps no one was staying in the house with her at the time? I have not seen any descriptions of what she may have been wearing in any of the articles or MP posters of her. I assume information about her clothing would have been released very quickly if it was known, because that would be important in identifying her. Maybe her family was not home? But then it begs the question of who saw her leaving at 11:45 PM? And why has that person not described the clothes she was wearing at that time?
Exactly, how can the witness say she saw her leaving, but not know what she was wearing. If she had left the house by herself, why leave the door unlocked?

Hmm... well it was mentioned previously that it's possible she had been abducted before she arrived at the bridge (perhaps at her house). What if.. she was not in the car if the PERP switched cars and somehow moved Sarah from hers to the "escape car". That would explain why Sarah's car was abandoned. It's not like the PERP would have dumped her and walked away on foot.I am a voulnteer firefighter from one of the surrounding towns around belmar. This is what i know and think. The RT 35 bridge is one of the worst places to abdict someone. Its on an extremely busy road, at the southbound base of the bridge there is usually ( 99.9% of the time ) a Neptune PD cop running traffic because the off ramp lesding onto RT35 is a huge speed trap for them. Likely anyone heading onto the bridge would have been noticed. Additionally at the opposite end of the brigde in Belmar, the Belmar PD runs traffic / radar 99.9% of the time with a clear view of over 70% of the bridge due to the architecture of the bridge. I find that the spot where her car was found was in good view of where Belmar PD parks an officer to run radar for traffic coming off the bridge. I believe that whoever did take her knew of these circumstances and planned this whole situation down to a T. With both neptune and belmar being sleepy NJ beach towns, the average response time for a 911 call is under 2 minute for a police response, with the surrounding areas being heavily patrolled by overstaffed police departments lookimg for any reason to pull someone over. Rt35 has one cop every few miles or so, making me believe that this person had a planned escape route through the lesser patrolled neighborhoods, most likely in Wall NJ towards the Garden State Parkway. If anyone else has an idea Id love to hear it.
