Something very strange suddenly began haunting me, moments ago. An overwhelming feeling ... that investigators need to focus not on only whom was traveling through McCleary the evening of LB's disappearance ... but on to where LB herself had traveled many days previous to the day of her disappearance. It was 'there and then' when the perp first decided to track LB.
LB posted, "lot of nightmares latley" [sic] and "something bad's gonna happen", ~ one month previous to her disappearance. Where had LB been during days previous to when she posted her eerie comment?
Beach?
Out of town store or strip mall?
I don't know .. but I feel it is somewhere outside of McCleary.
LB and a friend, and perhaps with some of the friend's family, as well.
Someone noticed her at that location. The someone discovered where LB lived.
LB obviously was uncomfortable about something, and it's apparent she did not exactly know why. A child's peripheral perception? What caused for LB to have nightmares ~ one month before she disappeared?
I think LE has to start not from where she was abducted but from where she was prior to that evening and more specifically, where she was previous to the day she posted her eerie comment ... 30-something days previous to June 26, 2009.
When was the cell phone purchased for LB? At which store? Did the phone have GPS? Who else knew that? Store clerk? Did the someone expect for LB to be home the evening of June 26, 2009, because GPS indicated her phone was where the someone 'expected' it to be ... in her house?
Was someone regularly peeping in the windows of the then-Baum residence? Did LB approach near home that evening and cross paths of that someone? A perp's 'perfect' opportunity?
Something about LB's cell phone. Not clues saved in or found on the phone, but something involving the cell phone. Store clerk, salesman ... the feeling is overwhelming.
