I have no problem with you disagreeing.
First off:
If the perp comes out at Peachtree and goes left they have to drive by a convenience store that's open 24 hrs and has security cameras.
If the perp comes out at Peachtree and goes right, they would have to go by another convenience store with security cameras, plus a busy intersection with a Dunkin Donuts (with security cameras).
But the main reason I posted this is because I live in that area, and have been all over Forestbrook, Peachtree, Socastee, and Waccamaw for the last 25 years.
Forestbrook is an extremely busy route, especially when you consider the small bars open late over off 707, and the lack of roadblock history on Forestbrook Rd....lots of traffic heading the "back way" into MB from bar-goers late at night.
And that's not even getting into the Hunters Ridge development that has over 1500 homes in it. There is significant traffic over that way, no matter what time of day or night it is.
31 dumps off near 501, which is busy 24/7. You have several Bingo parlors over there open all hours of the night on certain nights.
The only desolate area would be 31 dumping off onto 544. That area is fairly desolate pretty much all the time.
