If the dogs both tracked her to Eerie St, and it looks like a relatively major thoroughfare, is it possible that someone picked her up? If there was no evidence on her phone of any plan to meetup with someone, than maybe someone stopped and offered her a ride? If she was anxious to get away from the house and maybe delay her return, she could've been more willing at that point to get into a stranger's car.

“She was determined to find out what happened to her brother, Perry”
So sad. Made me think twice if this could have been some piece of her disappearance.. moo
 
I can't stop questioning what was going on that she needed to "Clear her head." Was it her brother's murder? Was it something else?

No new info on the finding parris page, except it appears her grandmother passed away recently.

Details of Disappearance
Hopson was last seen in Massillon, Ohio on Christmas Day, 2019. She lived with her mother in Columbus, Ohio and was visiting family in Massillon, where she grew up, for the holiday. During a family gathering at her grandparents' home on Shriver Avenue southeast, she appeared anxious and was pacing back and forth. Just after 2:30 p.m., she left to go for a walk in the neighborhood to clear her head. She may have planned to walk to a Shriver Park, which was nearby on Third Street. She left all her belongings behind, including her car, wallet, credit cards and cellular phone, and has never been heard from again.

In 2017, Hopson's brother was critically injured in a car accident when another driver caused a head-on collision and then fled the scene. Hopson's brother remained on life support for months until his death in 2018, at the age of 23. He was her only sibling. The other driver was never identified, and Hopson had been trying to find out who he was. It's unclear whether her brother's death is related to her disappearance.

According to her family, Hopson wasn't involved with drugs, didn't suffer from mental illness, and her family said she had no reason to walk out of her life. She is a graduate of Washington High School and Cleveland State University and worked in an administrative position for an insurance company at the time she went missing. She had previously worked as an event planner. According to Hopson's cousin, she was dating a man who had been trying to alienate her from her loved ones, but it's unclear whether this man was involved in her case.

The circumstances of Hopson's disappearance are unclear and her case remains unsolved.
 
“she was dating a man who had been trying to alienate her from her loved ones, but it's unclear whether this man was involved in her case.”
Uh-oh.
Why leave her cell phone? Hopefully they were able to retrieve some helpful data regarding conversations with said boyfriend..

I've heard her friend who was in the ID Still a Mystery episode passed away and so did Parris' mom?! Her mom was the one pushing the case too... :'(
 
From the little bit I’ve read here, it sounds to me like she was having a panic attack or some other sort of anxiety onset when she stepped outside.
Whether that was related to her brother’s car accident or any other issues going on, I definitely got the impression that she was experiencing an overwhelming emotional response to anxiety. MOO
