Praying Zoe is found safe! If "mom" was in a restaurant at 7:30ish, where was Zoe??
 
I wonder where the mother may originally be from? She got off RT 30 to go to that restaurant but there are other places, McDonalds, handy markets etc she could have stopped at. Why go there? IMO

Editing: @Jethro4WS just answered my question. LOL. Thank you I should have hit refresh first.
 
A better picture of Zoe.

"Just because her mother is involved does not mean she is in less danger. Zoe needs the eyes and ears of every adult to bring her to safety.”

I wondered the same thing. I'm going to guess it wasn't much. MOO
Me either, the mother (GM) works at a restaurant, seeing as she said she didn't know anything about this means she didn't bring $ with her. Means tip $. The restaurant was closing the next day for a roof fix however the bar was still going to be open according to their site.
