My apologies if this has already been mentioned upthread or downthread. I acknowledge that MSM reports indicate the rideshare driver has been cooperating and that LE reportedly have cleared the rideshare driver. Could it be that statement is strategic or that LE too quickly cleared the rideshare driver?
Along the Occam’s Razor line
@Tealgrove mentioned , do we for sure know there ever was another driver/car at the park, especially if s/he never came forward, no surveillance has yet tmk been revealed of said dropoff of car? Has the rideshare driver been polygraphed?
What I’m wondering, given the late (or early) hour and relatively uncrowded time/location of the ride, the fact that a very attractive, young woman was traveling alone and may have seemed or been upset or vulnerable or distracted or exhausted given her grandma’s death and the travel, KL’s phone battery could have been dead which then provided a great opportunity for something bad to happen.
Could the rideshare driver have pretended to stop because of car trouble, shift change, family emergency, or just quickly subdued her somewhere and stuffed her body in the trunk with her luggage and powered down her phone. The driver might not have had any other customers that night with luggage or if anyone had luggage, the driver could have apologized that his trunk lock was broken or some other excuse.
The rideshare driver could have continued to take customers for several hours, stashed or dumped KL somewhere else in between or at the end of his or her rideshare shift, then later comeforward appearing cooperative, have long since had the car detailed and KL and her things are either alive and captive hidden somewhere or no longer alive and concealed or disposed of in someway somewhere.
