Below is a working timeline for Rachael's disappearance. The information below includes a source for the information in parenthesis. If two or more sources reported the same information, I only listed one source to save space. So if a piece of information only has on source listed, it doesn't necessarily mean that it was the only source that reported said information. I doubt that I was able to include all information reported, so please let me know if I have left something out. The sub bullets (in this case the bullets with no fill) contain information that either deviates, contradicts, or further explains the bullet above it. The blue writing here and at the end of the post are my comments and not part of the timeline.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need clarification about the timeline.

-There have been questions raised on this thread about the reports of Rachael being SEEN in Wells on the night she went missing. From going over the available information, it seems to me that this source is the neighbor on Hernandez road that reported seeing Rachael's car arrive at her family camp around 9:15 PM (from the Albany Times Union article referenced above).

-There is also much confusion on this thread about the reports of how the family camp was found. From the above articles, it seems that the information reported about the doors being open, engine out of gas, and belongings in the car come from interviews and social media posts from family and friends of Rachael Mattice. I do believe that these reports are true (or somewhat true), but I don't think that LE wanted these reports to become public. This is best exemplified by the Channel 13 vigil video in which it is reveled that LE said details about how the campsite was left, immediately peaked their interest, but these details haven’t been made officially public. The use of the word officially implies to me that LE knows that these details are public, but that they were never supposed to have been made public.
