I don't think she would if she had a choice do you?

Yes, or stepdad had a tracking device on his car without his knowledge. A lot of times, if a car is financed, a tracking device is installed on it in the event the person doesn't make payments. I could have my cases mixed up, but I thought that is how they found Carleesha Freeland Gaither, no?
If that is the case, they know exactly where the car went. I sure hope so. I don't feel that she left on her own accord. I think LE is being too strategic and tight lipped for this to be a runaway case.
Also, when LE said "and this has happened before", I don't believe they are referring to Katelin; I think they are referring to people in general.

She saw her baby nephew, I understand it to be the reason for her trip. What the heck happened to her though?

Perhaps the EZ pass camera's recorded his plate number as he drove along?
Plus his phone pinged the towers along the way.

I don't think it is really so odd...I think one's perspective on this depends on where they live at or how they travel. When I stay with friends/family in Chicago, DC, Atlanta, etc that have mass transit infrastructure- I always get them to drop me off at the closest mass transit stop to their home, so I can easily get on and off at the airport. Less hassle for me and the driver...traffic gets much more dense near most airports in cities and it's hardly worth being dropped off at departure. Same when I fly in...I take mass transit to the nearest stop towards where they live. I don't expect them to take me the extra distance into the city nor do I get the feeling those driving me feel it is really "worth it." JMO
I think her leaving on her on will can be cancelled out except for one stretch of the imagination: a friend/acquaintance picked her up from the Town Center and they dumped luggage later. I think that is highly unlikely because of how far away the luggage was dropped from last known location AND how close it was back towards her home; if you were running away or planning to disappear, you wouldn't backtrack towards home.
That luggage was ditched by someone else. Someone who likely knew the roads of that area and, for loose purposes, had reason to be back in that area (location of their home, work, etc). The chances of a random kidnapping resulting in the ditching of the luggage so close to the victim's home an hour in any direction from her last known location is slim to none.
While the stepfather seems a likely target, it is interesting how LE is quick to say he isn't a suspect or even a POI. Seen that before with another outcome, though. His vehicle being seen at the Town Center is pretty convincing, especially if it shows the opposite car door opened. Even if it doesn't, that would be great stretches on the effort of a suspect/perp to play that scene out hoping cameras didn't catch the whole thing.
I think we get answers soon in the form of video and hard evidence (i.e. if vehicle is crime scene, testimony mistake, messages, phone triangulation) that makes someone crack or leads LE to the right place.

I've been thinking the same thing......
Not sure if this has been posted yet, do you think it's a mistake by the new station in regards to the car they are looking for in this case? They say there is no relation to the Heather Ciccone case but they are describing her car in the search for Katelin.

Definitely a mix up between the two cases. Heather's car is the one described in that link.

They are still monitoring the forum, but I'll definitely pass it along to them. I'm only 3hrs from where she went missing, so my daughters and I plan on cruising up and helping out if they ask for volunteers to search 😊

I sure hope they allow searchers soon. I wonder if they've thought about search dogs?

I know they say the two girls cases are not related, just seems too weird that Heather had a female stalker and Katelin is female.

They know who Heather's stalker is and it wasn't Katelin.
