I went over the case again tonight, paying particular attention to the location where the credit card was located and where WH says her phone pinged on Tidewater Drive. There was also a search conducted near there at 8440 Tidewater drive on March 13 but I am unaware if anything was found.
My start point was 8331 Halprin drive (close enough without giving away the actual location) and the end point was Wine and Cake Hobbies Inc. which is one of the closest businesses to where the search was conducted.
I was given three possible routes using the direction tool in Google Earth.
The first was South on Halprin with a right onto Little Creek Drive and then a left onto Tidewater Drive. This route was 3.9 miles and is estimated at 9 minutes. ****
The second route was South on Halprin, right onto Little Creek Drive, a left onto Chesapeake, a right on Joyner, a left onto Sewers and finally a right onto Tidewater Drive. 3.9 miles and 10 minutes Also this route goes right by Americas Best Value Inn.
The third route starts out going South on Halprin, continuing onto Johnstons Rd, left on Chesapeake, right onto Joyner, left onto Sewells, right onto Widgeon Rd and finally a right onto Tidewater Drive. bypasses America's Best Value Inn.
Just putting this out there in case any locals want to drive these routes and see if they see anything out of the ordinary. I believe any of the three would be the most direct routes between the two points mentioned in the beginning of my post.
**** I think its also interesting to note that the most direct route to 4000 Battlefield Blvd is along the first route I posted.
