For example, they drove through Brantford. Some people find that strange. OK, let's go with it. What's strange? Where does this lead?

Are we supposed to think that they drove through Brantford because a suspect lives/works/went to high school there?
I just don't get it.
Early on, before the threads split up I outlined a possible reason why they didn't go north on Copetown road and Hwy 8 to Cambridge. If you are familiar with the area you know that Hwy 8 tends to be frequented by LE quite heavily.
Then there's the other theories that have been put forward:
1) They swapped vehicles or loaded the truck onto the trailer in Brantford
2) They went to Brantford to ditch the phone to make it look like the truck was taken to the Six Nations Reserve. (which is south of Brantford, while the Roseville farm is north)
3) They knew someone in Brantford or dropped someone off there.
^--- all of the above theories have some extra steps of complexity that just really don't jibe
Perhaps Occam's Razor should be applied here -- the simplest answer is that not everyone takes the most efficient or shortest route to get somewhere, they go the routes they are comfortable or familiar with. What looks to us like the most logical route on an overhead map or to the routing algorithms in a GPS might have no relation at all to someone's internal mapping. To them it might actually seem like a better route when in reality it isn't.
