It was thought that as she was denied being rented a scooter and she was barefooted, and had a run-in with the police, that she may have been drunk or on drugs.
But if the police state she left the area safely then either she couldn't have been drunk or on drugs if she was driving......or wasn't she driving? Was she on foot? Or was someone driving her?
I wish the police statement that she left the area safely indicated whether it was by foot or by car, and also what part of 'the area' of Myrtle Beach was she seen leaving? The beach? A car park? A road towards the highway?
The comment about a "run in with police" was posted in one news story, and removed before the end of the day. I don't think we can rely on that as fact.
Her mother said that Sheridan drove 8-9 hours to visit her father, but we know that she did not visit her father.
She tried to rent a scooter/moped, and was denied due to footwear. She facetimed with her mom at 1 PM, near the beach, to say that she was driving home.
Her mother asked her to stay overnight in Myrtle beach.
Her father drove around looking for her during the afternoon. The mother reported her missing just before midnight on Sept 19.
We don't know when she left Florida, but I'm guessing it was Sept 18, as she was trying to rent a scooter at 1 PM on Sept 19. Hopefully she had not pulled an all nighter.
Where did she stay overnight on Sept 18? Did she sleep in her car?
If she did not go to Myrtle Beach to visit her father, why was she there?
I'm curious whether she used any online dating apps, and whether that is related to her visit to Myrtle Beach. Perhaps she had a plan to rent a moped/scooter to meet someone, and that's why she was upset (she called her mom about it) that she could not rent the scooter. That could also lead to a Plan B meetup at the fire tower.
