"Her car, a 1997 Lincoln Town Car with a damaged front end, has been seen since her disappearance. The driver of the vehicle has not been identified."
This kind of makes it sound like LE never took possession of her car after her sister chased the unidentified guy driving it?
As I understand it, her Aunt (Mom's sister) was out driving and spotted the car being driven by an unknown man. She followed him and when he realized he was being followed, he pulled into an apartment complex and took off running. She called the police and when they got there, the guy was long gone. It has been stated that Zoe's jacket was in the trunk and her phone charger was on the floor in the back. This information is just what LE gave after giving the car a once over. AFAIK, there hasn't been anything released as to what they found (or didn't find) after processing the car in search of forensic evidence, such as the fingerprints of the unknown male who was seen driving it.
I do not think I have read anything as to whether or not the Aunt was able to get a good look at the man's face. It sounds like she did not see him clear enough and all that we know is he was wearing a hoodie.
This case is receiving very little attention from the media and that is probably due to the very limited information that has been released. The media does not like to report the same few details over and over again. They need something new and I would think there are a few things LE could probably release such as
why they feel her past might have put her in danger. I would also like to know the exact reason for Zoe to be going to an alternative high school? A kid would need to have some sort of reason to be enrolled in this type of school. It can be a last resort for some kids in order for them to graduate and who might have been expelled from public school. My husband went to an alternative high school for his last 2 years of school and this was because he had disciplinary issues such as skipping school, mainly because he had a single working mother who worked nights and he stayed up late and then could not get up in time to make it to school the next day. It was not because he was rebellious or bad, but he lacked the self discipline as well as parental discipline in order to change his sleeping habits and get up to make the bus! Teen pregnancy and teen parenthood are also reasons why a kid might need this type of school, but there are many other issues that can apply. If it is behavioral issues such as my husband's was, the child would be placed only after every avenue had been exhausted within a regular public school. My husband had been kicked out of 3 regular public high schools and was placed into the alternative school knowing it was his last chance at finishing and earning his diploma. It worked for him and because the amount of students is much lower than public school, the kids are able to get more one on one attention from the teachers and counselors.
It seems to me that if Zoe is enrolled in this type of school but is not pregnant nor does she have a baby, then there was obviously some sort of behavioral issue that a public school could no longer handle. LE has probably looked into this and this is why they have stated her past might have come into play and put her in harm's way. But her Mother acting as if her daughter has never been in any trouble and so she doesn't understand what LE is talking about, is troubling to me?
Her daughter is in the school for a reason, so what is that reason? Maybe a few more details that look further into this aspect might give this case some life and help to find Zoe! :candle: I am sure when your loved one is missing, you do not want to see them portrayed in a bad light so you might suppress some unflattering information about their character. This is probably not the best route to take though when asking for help in finding the person. If she hung out with a bad crowd at one time, those people need to be rounded up and questioned. The smallest bit of information could turn into something big on a missing person investigation. People who might know something, no matter how trivial you might think it is, need to please contact LE right away. All avenues should be looked into and no stone left unturned, no matter how uncomfortable it might be. Zoe needs to be found!
