My father always said, if you want to hide something, hide it in plain sight. And I think that’s what he was doing. I think he knew no one would see him at that time of day and outside that fence across the dirt pathway from SW. I think he knew no one had reported her missing yet, and he knew he could do this quickly without being noticed. And he was right, it was days later until they found her car. This guy had been planning this for awhile. He may have even known when the SW plant would be quiet as in an hour before a shift change. All IMO of course. But he felt very comfortable from the get go. Especially so brazenly standing in plain sight watching her that morning in her vehicle. It’s almost like he wanted her to see him. Or made sure she hadn’t seen him, and when there was no reaction therefore sure she hadn’t seen him, he circled twice to be sure, knowing what time the shuttle was coming, and then made his move. I think he left his truck there and had no choice but to come back to get it, using her car to do get back there. I’m rambling now. So much going on in my head. Wherever his truck was parked, he parked it in a lot where no one would think anything of it being there for any length of time. This was quite the elaborate plan and so far he’s pulled it off. With that kind of specific truck, how has it not been spotted by now???? IMO. God help her.So according to her brother in the Gray Hughes interview, her car pulled in the lot as the suspect was pacing that yellow line. Then when we see him stop and stare in that direction, her car was parked in the spot. So it definitely seems he was specifically waiting for her. I know most of us felt that way already, but for me, this solidifies it. Like he knew the approximate time she would arrive each morning and was just waiting for that to happen. IMO if this was someone just wanting to rob/kidnap anybody and no one in particular, there were already other cars in the lot, and the one with the headlights on most certainly had an individual in it, so why wait specifically for Naomi unless she was targeted.
I also tend to agree with Gray's theory that the kidnapper drove her somewhere else immediately from the Walmart lot (rather than just spending ~10 hours with her by Sherwin Williams), did whatever he did, left her somewhere else, and then returned for his vehicle. The only thing that makes me go "hmm" is that, why wouldn't he wait to get his vehicle/dump hers after dark so he had less chances of being caught/captured on a good quality video, etc? However, as someone else in this thread hypothesized, maybe he had somewhere he absolutely had to be by 4 or 5, so he had no choice but to go get his vehicle. He seems familiar with that whole area, so maybe he knew it wasn't well-traveled and wasn't that concerned with someone spotting him. And/or he was just brazen and figured even if his truck was captured on CCTV that it wouldn't end up being tied to this. Luckily, it was.
