I live about 15 miles south of Seattle. I am one year younger than Cheryl. I wear a badge at work and have to use it to move around at work.
We lived through Ted Bundy and the Green River killer who killed women around here for sport.
I've carpooled a lot - like Cheryl. I was driving to work at 7:05am last Monday. It was not dark, in fact I think someone on my personal FB page posted a pic that day of the beautiful colors in the sunrise that morning. While it may not have been raining that day - we are very used to rain here. Year round.
Here are the things that stand out to me:
1) I don't change carpool practices for the weather. I _always_ stay in my locked car until I see my carpool buddy. And so does every woman I know.
2) I would always opt for parking in a lighted area if possible, and based on reports it sounds as though there was plenty of parking available.
3) Her mother kept repeating that Cheryl is very smart. She had expressed concern about the safety. A smart person concerned about safety would not park farther away than necessary and cause an unnecessary walk through a wooded area.
4) I am sorry I don't recall the source but recall that she had been carpooling with someone for years. That person is being silent. I am guessing that is either by request of LE or overwhelmed with grief?
5) Her mother said "if she's alive..." In answer to a question at a pc earlier in the week. It seemed she "knew" then.
6) a car has a trunk. A jeep does not.
7) heavy rain was forecast this week and anyone with a weather app would have known that... She was left somewhere that she would be found but maybe not right away.
8) I am wondering about a love triangle.
I haven't been on in a long time and hope I haven't broken any rules. These are just my opinions.
Is the point that she was last seen at the transit centre? Is that the carpark where she would normally park her car?
You make great points here. MLT is normally quite safe and maybe a woman could be lulled into a false sense of security. But Cheryl was a grown woman who had expressed concern about the park. I am sure she would have taken the types of precautions you suggest.
Ted Bundy took some risks in grabbing women when there were witnesses nearby, but they tended to be young and perhaps naive, and he was a personable guy with some clever stories when luring. Cheryl most likely would have been wary of someone approaching her with some Bundy-esque ruse (since the community learned about caution from him, sadly, and she was old enough to remember him) - plus, she had things to do. She would have to have been overpowered in some way, I think - and there was too great a chance for witnesses.
AND if LE was leaning toward a stranger abduction, they would be warning the community. They have said the opposite.
Ridgeway was a whole different deal, of course. Operating in the shadows.

When one person is abducted and murdered, is it normal to warn the public to be wary of a potential serial killer even before the death has been ruled a homicide? The husband is obviously being looked at as that's normal in all situations where a wife vanishes and is found in a culvert, but when the husband is ruled out, is a there a public warning regarding a mad person on the loose?
Everything I've read and have been told the last few days indicated that her husband was the last person to see her before she headed off to work. That is the reason so many have doubted his story. This completely contradicts that information and actually places her at the scene where her car was located that day.

If LE thinks an attack was random, yes, you will see news reports warning the public to be cautious.
Is the point that she was last seen at the transit centre - the Park and Ride in your map? Is that the carpark where she would normally park her car?
I am not sure we can take this video at face value. It was posted by a user whose alias was created days ago. It cites no sources and can really not be deemed to be MSM.
And if she really had been seen at the P&R, LE would be publicizing that fact to jog memories and help pinpoint time and place of the crime.

I would love to be wrong, too, and yet I don't want there to be a random attacker out there. I lived though the summer of Ted Bundy in Seattle and maybe you did, too - I think you are local? The stress on the community was brutal. I do hate to think what else Cheryl's family might be looking at, though. Very sad. They were apparently high school sweethearts.
Her car was found on an adjoining street to the park and ride, where commuters park when there is an overflow of vehicles.
The street is marked and the general area where her car was found is marked. I have no idea the exact location her car was parked, but it was somewhere close to the library, which is apparently a popular place to leave vehicles when the normal lot is full.
Which is exactly what they did today during their brief press conference.
