I just saw this thread and watched/listened to AC's dad's interview on youTube.
It broke my heart to listen to him yet on the flip side I was cheering him on for being so Pro-active and using SM, etc to get word out.
I probably am in the minority, but I think her phone/cards was found in a place she normally puts them when working the station.
I also think, by her exiting thru the back door, and leaving her phone there, that she perhaps was just running out real quick to speak or see someone for a minute who was parked out back. Then she would come back inside, finish up work, get phone and leave in group thru front door as normal procedure.
With that being said, I am curious if she was punched out for the night when she exited thru back door.
If she was, then she was done working for night
If she wasn't, then to me, shows it was just meant to be a quick chat out back but something nefarious happened, IMO
Praying for Alexis and her family that they find her safe and find her soon.
