It's too bad she wasn't actually talking on the phone with her friend instead of texting, the mystery about what transpired next might be greatly clarified.
I suspect her head being down texting while her door was propped open is probably the tiny window of opportunity this guy needed to get the jump on her. She may have also gotten out of her car earlier while attempting to search for the badge under the seat, wedged down in the console, or hidden under items on the passenger side. Most likely she was accosted while her attention was focused elsewhere.
This sounds almost like a deliberate kidnapping.........but for what possible reason ?
Only two possible scenarios are now available to us, and the cops already know the answer.
A) Was she assaulted in her car and then moved in her own vehicle ?
B) Was she assaulted in her car and then transferred into another vehicle ?
The cops may very well have an eye witness to what happened in that parking zone, but much like everything else so far, they refuse to comment on it or confirm it. The information that came to light during the late evening hours was due to information contained in the search warrant, not because Pickard offered it up.
I can't understand the possible reasoning behind not divulging that her husband left for work prior to her, arrived at work on time, video caught her car driving towards P & R, and hubby passed a polygraph early on. All of these people on social media (and in here) trying to implicate her husband in the disappearance, and yet the cops knew all along he had nothing to do with it. That suspicion could have been cleared up days ago, but they refused to do it.
Just keep in mind that cooperation ain't a two-way street with these guys.
I know! I agree. All these people, like me, having assumptions about who was involved.
When I found out the husband was cleared by polygraph, it made me feel horrible, sick to my stomach, because then I would have zeroed in on another thought process. My mind was stuck on certain things and my mind was pretty much made up. I feel terrible. First off, I feel sad that Cheryl is dead. I feel sad how Cheryl was found.
I also feel for the family, and believe me, if I would have known certain things I definitely would not have had that particular angle. I don't want to implicate an INNOCENT person. That made me feel horrible. But what was offered in MSM and by LE, and not offered as well, made me come up with some false conclusions.
I really wanted to know where you were last night, Steelman on the first thread, because I was willing to take my lumps of I told you so. And rightly so. Between what you have suggested and Otto has suggested in the thread, it made me realize how easily my mind can pick something and run away with it.
It does make me look differently at the Susan Jacobson case, as well, from Roseville, California, although her husband has not taken a lie detector test. I feel that polygraphs could help.
I know there are big debates about that, and I am not here to debate the polygraph issue, but when I read Cheryl's husband passed the poly, I was relieved, and embarrassed that I came to a specific conclusion.
I wish certain things would have been released by LE from the get-go.
It makes me feel reserved now, and questions my judgment when not all the facts are presented. But how were we to know certain things? Esp. if LE knows but doesn't release the info, then our minds can take us where it wants us to go, based on thoughts and not facts.
Again, I will state that I have learned so much from this case.
I learned also NOT to jump to conclusions and to have SEVERAL different scenarios specifically in mind, so that the innocent aren't judged in that way. It really made me feel bad. I made myself feel bad in the end because of the incorrect conclusions! I am so sorry Cheryl's family!
Prayers to her husband, son, parents, sister, niece, family and friends!
IMOO.
