It’s a very good question. Good point.
I do note that the interview with her mom indicated that mom believes whatever happened “happened right here.” as she stood in front of her apartment.
In any event, we know she was at her apartment because crucial belongings were left behind. So either at her car or inside or near her apartment. So my question is if this is a stranger abduction, how did no one in that complex see her being abducted or approached or hear a scream? How is it that the police have released nothing asking the public “Have you seen this car captured on surveillance near..” Nothing captured on camera showing someone with her? Because we now know there is camera surveillance in the complex.
Also, ETA: He’s a strong guy and a mover. I think a man like him could remove a 150 pound woman in a container of some sort.
It could also have been planned or it could have been a crime of convenience by a stranger or acquaintance or neighbor.
1) She goes visiting within the complex. Just a short one (no diaper bag, etc.) and is waylaid or something happens at the friend's.
2) She goes out to meet someone for whatever reason and is waylaid with force or a request for immediate help, it'll only take a few minutes - given no time to think - just go.
3) She goes out to get the mail - only needs the baby, the keys and the phone (I always take mine) for that. Can't explain the purse in the car, though.
I believe she left the apartment of her own free will, but not necessarily that she ran away.
Someone could have called her to come and meet them (manager's office?) and it was a crime of convenience to take her and the baby.
Someone could have called, texted or knocked on her door with an excuse to lure her into their apartment and the crime went from there.
Someone could have asked for her help to lure her out and away.
If SC had killed her, he could easily have waited until dark when it would have made more sense to move them out under cover of darkness. Broad daylight too many chances to be seen.
That
irresponsible comment in that 'news article' about "police stating that there had been domestic calls to their apartment". NOT TRUE that police stated, hinted or otherwise implied that. He said wouldn't he address it (rightly so) because it was an ongoing investigation. If there had been police called to the apartment, it could have been for any number of reasons including female on male violence. We don't know until we know and it was a bad move for them to word the article that way.
