I just watched this case on Disappeared, and I pretty much have to echo what margarita25 said above. Whatever happened Tabitha, it was probably over that same day unfortunately.
As for the eyewitness accounts: is it possible the first witness may have been red-green colorblind? If the car was actually green, when the first witness mistakenly saw red, then it matches the second eyewitness account, which linked the green car to a Hispanic male, 18 years old at the time, known to Tabitha. The two "allegedly would smoke cigarettes" together, according to the detective. If the Hispanic male's skin was more tan in complexion, then the first witness could've easily confused him for a Black male.
I realize this Hispanic male passed a lie detector test, but polygraphs are not 100% accurate. That's why they're usually not admissible in a court of law. I'm disturbed by the comments he was reported to have made, things like "Now they're gonna come looking for me," and "It wasn't supposed to happen this way," or something to that effect.
If Tabitha and this male were already sneaking around to smoke cigarettes together, then what else could they have been doing?
Here's a scenario I envision:
Tabitha is walking to the bus stop looking at her report card when the Hispanic male drives by in his green car. He's cutting school and invites her in so they can smoke together. Tabitha figures why not—but she can't cut school. They can hang for a bit if he promises to drive her to school later. She can always say she missed her bus. After all, she just got good grades, and she's "never late," as her mom says, so she'd be readily believed because they know she works hard and is punctual.
He agrees so she gets into his car—willingly, just as the eyewitness seemed to describe—and the two go off to smoke together when the male makes a pass at her. Tabitha is understandably upset, says she's going to tell, and one thing leads to another. Maybe that's why "it wasn't supposed to be that way."
If this wasn't a random abduction, then this is about the only sense I can make out of this case.
