I don't wear a badge, but I have keys and access cards. I would never forget where they are. I wouldn't be searching under a car seat for job access cards. I would know that I forgot it, and then think about the last time I used it. In Cheryl's case, it was Friday, and unless she was getting undressed in her car, the badge was not in the car. Right?
If someone attacked Cheryl with a knife and she grabbed the blade, it would be called "defensive wounds". Cheryl's injuries are self-inflicted.
Perhaps someone hit her in her car and it caused blood spatter, but given that she was likely moved to a second vehicle, there should also be profuse bleeding (head injury) that dripped on the pavement outside the car. Also, a severe head injury causing blood spatter would also leave blood on the windshield, right?
Knowing very, very well one of those transient people who is a drug addict and lives in the Seattle area; I would have to say that the guy I know would sell a knife or trade it for cigarettes at the first opportunity he had. Heroin addicts I've known keep NOTHING of value because if it has value then it can be turned into more heroin. I DO think the knife/CD grabbing it causing cuts on her fingers is definitely a possibility, though.
I have stared at the pictures of her car after it was towed for so long, zooming in and out, moving around - and I just can't see anything on the passenger side window or windshield that looks like there was a struggle. Some think that there is a crack near the passenger side mirror, but I believe it's just a shadow. I would think that if a violent act occurred in the passenger seat that there would be blood or some other type of smudges/smears on either of those windows, but again, I see nothing that would qualify in the pictures. (I wish I could have seen the car in person, because the pictures aren't 100% perfect.)
.....or ride the bus up and down the corridor to stay warm and land on that stop for a few hours. I think service quits approximately 1-5 am
This is a very good point and I know that many homeless people do this downtown where there are (or used to be) free zones of the city where the buses went, just to stay warm, cool, or dry, but does the MLT route have a free-ride zone? If the corridor you meant was the route from Seattle-MLT, then that wouldn't be free. The transit system here really isn't cheap and even though it was cool and cloudy, it wasn't bad enough to spend $$$ on a bus ticket. IMO
You keep saying her car was found at 8 am. I have seen multiple sources saying it was later that afternoon by Mr. Deboer - I guess I should cross those sources off my accurate list [emoji20]
I do know about 8 am what was witnessed...empty car space..but reports for the vehicle being 'found' are showing later that afternoon by Mr Deboer.
Someone else feel free to correct me as perhaps my sources are inaccurate [emoji20]

I have to agree that we can safely assume that her car didn't move after the person who parked behind her car that morning at 8am saw it. I believe that's why we've been rolling with the "it was never moved after she pulled over to text" idea, ever since Stryker introduced that new information to us. That would mean she was transported by someone else.
And her being hit by a car just doesn't sit well with me. I don't think she ever get out of the car. Why would she, since she pulled over exclusively to text that she'd forgotten her badge. She knew she forgot it, she didn't think she dropped it under a seat or something. It was the last place to turn back before getting to the Park-n-Ride traffic mess (commuter traffic is INSANE at that time of day and would have held her up even longer.)
I also believe that CD planned on driving home, grabbing the badge, and then parking AT the actual transit center since it would only be 10 minutes or so and she was already running late to meet up with her friend, so why would she go home, grab the badge, hurry to get to the transit center, only to park where it would take her longer to actually get there by parking so much further away across from the park? Makes zero sense to me.
To me, I feel that everything was 100% normal until she pulled in and parked in order to text that friend. That is the point at which I'm focusing on as to "what went wrong right there?" How did a crime happen at THAT point?
Also, could someone please tell me what BBM right before a person posts means? Thank you!
