True but I don’t understand why he would walk that distance to get the the Whitney Ranch area. But who knows.
TBH we don’t even know if for sure Steven was even with phone though, if he was , I heard the Whitney Ranch area was dodgy so if someone did something to Steven obviously they were dodgy , so the area makes sense if someone else had the phone.
I mean it really depends on how everything played out, I think Steven was taken that area by car but then after that you could insert any story
Speculation-Like one of my theories, LL sent SK to sca to meet with one of his friends or associates because of the prescription pill business to do a job to make up for the rent, they then drove to the Whitney ranch, Stephanie street, Russell Road, I95, (those areas where phone pinged) there’s dodgy apartments, near Whitney ranch IIRC or maybe they were near Stephanie st , after doing some ‘jobs’ doing the prescription pill business maybe SK could have been taken to those dodgy apartments to be beaten up or murdered because of the rent he owed to LL and SK knowing about the prescription pill business
But this is just my speculation based on what we’ve learned in these threads put together with some of the facts. Things could have happened slightly different,
Or you could insert a different story
Speculation-Another thought I had was GW talked of feeling guilty and someone asked him about Wendover, Vegas and Wendover are gambling places , maybe GW had gambling debt and asked SK to go pay a payment on behalf of him because of being worried about not having full payment, SK is told to go to meeting in sca and not having full payment the people GW owed took it out on SK beating him up or killing him in those dodgy apartments in Whitney ranch. Phone ditched off Russell Road.
Or insert different story from webrocket
Speculation-Meeting up with big daddy warbucks, going up to Whitney Ranch area, lots of restaurants- they go to lunch, target -SK picks up some new clothing, toiletries whatever he needs , hotels- also in this area ,they stay a couple of days , Steven ditches his phone off Russell Road,off they go.
Or another story
Speculation- SK tells GW of his money situation and being depressed and worried about having no money and owing rent. SK asks GW for help if knows someone who can give SK a job, GW has a friend or someone he knows who can help SK , GW has a friend pick up SK from sca because it’s a safe area to leave car and SKs parents would find it quick . SK picks up new clothing or toiletries from target , SK and GWs friend stay a couple of days in Whitney Ranch area then take off for SK new life in some other place. Hence GW feeling guilty that SK won’t see his family again.
You really could put any story in there.
These are just speculation
