I tried to look at the maps posted here and I saw the arena area layouts (thanks for those BTW) but I cant figure out where the purse was found in relation to the arena;
Also do we know which lot they parked in?
What side it the main entrance on?
Is there more that one entrance? And is it (or are they) "entrance" only? (like with those one-way turnstiles?)
Where are the exits?
And is there a performer-only entrance?
I wonder if they've looked into the staff of Metallica, the roadies etc And also does the arena employ local folks to act as security or do they have "real" cops? And if so, do they stay the whole time or just thru the pre-show seating of the throngs? Does Metallica (or even the warmup bands) have their own security, like bodyguards? (I have no idea - just asking.)
Could a roadie or security person or even a vendor or some such person have lured her with a promise of a backstage meet and greet? Could someone have posed as a roadie or security and promised her a backstage pass? "Follow me.. to the back.." or something?
Im still stumped as to why she left the arena in the first place; and could it be something as simple as wandering out the wrong door?
But wouldnt the friend on the phone ASKED why she went outside? (I would)
Did they text or actually talk?
John Paul Jones Arena provides multiple entrances on the front side of the Arena. They are entrances and exits for most events.

The exits are clearly marked and I think it would be difficult to not realize that you are going outside.
There are separate entrances for the performers in the rear of the building near the largest parking lot.
I thought about the idea of someone promising to get her in the back way, too. Especially since her purse was located back behind the building.
Hope this helps a little. We have been to lots of events in the arena so let me know if I am not being clear and I'll try to clear things up.
