I am feeling like LE is really not getting anywhere and that these photos are kind of either a potential big break, or back to square one,
BBM: I don't think so. I think they are showing the store clerks pictures of people who were near Alexis in the Liberty station photos, hoping somebody saw one of them the same day Alexis went missing. I also think that any store would turn over their surveillance footage just on the off chance that some matching person shows up in it. JMO.

Respectfully disagree. I feel like they've honed in on one - maybe two - folks. If you read the article, the clerks at those respective places say they were showed pics of 'a man' and not 'men'. I feel like LE rushed to cover those clerks' admissions with the more broad 'we are checking folks (plural) we can't identify', as to not risk giving anyone a heads up.
Hope so.
Not being snarky but yesterday didn't you say your husband was the one who drove by and saw them?

But what's the connection between a country gas station and a specialty sex shop in a town 30 odd miles away? Or rather, how did the connection get made? And why'd they turn the focus from Lovingston to Charlottesville? Those are the 50,000 dollar questions.
I wonder why there hasn't been any sort of reward offered for information? Could it be because they aren't 100% sure she's not a runaway? Most of the cases like this I have read/heard about usually get at least $1000 from Crime Stoppers or the FBI pretty close to the beginning of the case

This is my first post here, but I've been following this thread for a few days now. I live just a few hours away from where all of this is happening and I'm slightly older than her, so this really stands out to me.
But I remember seeing a post on her vine about her hitting her car on her way to work? Maybe this potential damage is from the same incident. Just a thought.
My thought process went like this: The car was found in/near Charlottesville. Ultimate Bliss is only 2.3 miles away, pretty much on the same road as Carmike, along with a whole bunch of other businesses. They have no idea where she is, but know where the car was found. If she didn't park it there, whomever did should know where she is. If I were LE, I'd search there, along the whole strip, and the housing nearby, trying to find that person.But what's the connection between a country gas station and a specialty sex shop in a town 30 odd miles away?

Anyone up for a trip to Circle Krime? :innocent:
Let me see if I am reading this correctly...From the article... It says they said they did not see her in the stores:
FBI agents are showing pictures of a man to business owners in Charlottesville as part of the Alexis Murphy case.
Federal agents descended on the Ultimate Bliss adult shop and Quick Pik convenience store on Angus Road Saturday afternoon. Employees at both locations said agents showed them photographs of a man and questioned them about Murphy. Both say they did not see the 17-year-old.
Ultimate Bliss turned over surveillance video to investigators.
The FBI has confirmed agents are showing photos of people seen in close proximity to Murphy on other surveillance cameras and attempting to identify those people.

Ultimate Bliss is across the street from a Best Buy (where all local teens go), a very centralized location, and just a few yards behind a KFC. It's not hidden, by any means, and has been there for years. Plus, there's a bus stop right on the road where you can see the store as you wait for the bus. You also see it as you pull onto the highway, so everyone who's been through town and certainly everyone who frequents Charlottesville knows about it. The store is easy to see because it's slightly up on a hill. Now that I think if it, I guess the store could be a draw for teens looking for such "things," especially without a credit card or the ability to buy things online without parents snooping. I can't imagine what on earth LE has stumbled upon to take their focus there.
