I've been reading this forum for a few days and am now wondering if Katelin was in the habit of using pre-boarding options such as self-check in or printing boarding passes ? If so -did she take those steps for the return flight ? An odd question I know but if she usually took these actions, it may indicate her intention to fly or not.
If she didn't fly/travel often or is more of a "just show up" traveler then I guess this would not be relevant but it crossed my mind. I just flew Frontier last week and they sent numerous emails encouraging pre-flight steps including check-in and registering bags. These emails contained links to help with those processes from mobile devices. Even as a younger traveler, I tried to complete as much of the process prior to arriving to the airport so again I was thinking that if Katelin took action to do the same -her intent of flying that day may be more solid.
I am truly thinking that whatever happened to stop Katelin from flying - happened prior to being driven to the mall or airport otherwise wouldnt a camera at one of those two places capture her?
My original thought on the texts was that the second text could have been sent by someone reading through prior texts but was someone who didn't realize how far she was traveling. Not realizing the flight would be long, the person figured sending Amber a text would be a good way to delay the police getting involved immediately assuming it was a short flight.
But now.....I think the texts were sent in a panic to buy a day or so by someone who knew they would really need time to cover up and it was not thought through properly. I think something unexpected happened and everything afterwards was done while in panic mode .
Did I read correctly that cash was in the discarded bag?
