Hmm, from looking at this map(click on the map bit to scroll in and then use the street view to see the little park that's kitty corner across the street, can't see parking, just a basketball court), I can't see anything close by where she could have parked a big U-haul truck, unless she was talking about that big open area with a waterhole on the other side of S Meridian Rd. http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/11428-E-Queensborough-Ave-Mesa-AZ-85212/55275691_zpid/
Thanks... I searched for a nearby community pool, but the closest I could find was 1.2 miles away. A short drive but a very long walk, given the circumstances.
Her car had to be fairly close by. One more clue about that..the condition of the car upon return. Not just all 4 floor mats missing, but blood stains on the front passenger seat and a larger stain on the rear seat.
She left with knife (s) and gun and her bloody clothes, at the very least. She cleaned herself off well enough not to leave blood on the driver's seat, so the blood must have come from her weapons/clothes, and the fact blood was left behind suggests whatever had blood on it wasn't securely wrapped up.
How far would she have been willing/able to walk in broad daylight with bloodied bundles, especially on that street of immaculately kept houses?
