I am a local, and I put this together this morning from several news sources:
Investigators believe Smiley left Silverdale with her son around 5 p.m. (source 1)
About 6:45 p.m., she called her fiancé and asked him to bring her cell phone. But at that point, Simmons said, he was already en route to meet her in Castle Rock. Simmons had been at Cub Scout training that ended at [4:30] p.m., according to a Web site he has set up to help find Smiley and her son. (source 1)
Smiley stopped at the Handy Pantry on Division Street in west Olympia and made a purchase there around 7:50 p.m. (source 1)
9:08 p.m. Smiley and her son went to the Martin Way Diner. Mealy said a witness said Smiley purchased a corn dog, but did not take it with her after paying for it. (source 1) An employee there said Smiley bought a corn dog, then left without her purchase and then tripped and fell walking back to her van, but police said the fall was not serious. (source 3) (The specific time was reported in Source 4.)
Comment on TheOlympian.com website: “I work at the Martin way diner..your stepmom and Azriel were in about 9 pm Saturday. They ordered a corn dog and tater tots to go, and payed for them, but while I was cooking their dinner, I watched them get up and leave. I didn't think too much about it, but they never came back. My waitress asked me what should we do with their order, and I told her to just wait..they might come back..My waitress told me that the woman seemed drunk, but the kid told my waitress. "Mommy hit her head".
About 9:54 p.m., a store surveillance camera shows that Smiley stopped her car at the Gull Harbor Mercantile on Boston Harbor Road, but it was closed. (source 1). Surveillance video showed their van pulling into the parking lot of the Gulf Harbor Mercantile store shortly before 10 p.m. Smiley may have wanted to use the pay phone there, but it is out of order. The video does not show her or her son getting out of the vehicle. The van pulled out of the parking lot and headed the direction it came from. (source 3)
Smiley and her son were last seen by residents of a home on 46th Avenue about 10 p.m. Saturday. Her son apparently told one of the residents of the home on 46th Avenue that his mother had hurt her knee. Chief Criminal Deputy James Chamberlain said Monday that the residents of the home on 46th Avenue have told investigators that Smiley seemed out of sorts, but no more than would be normal for someone who was lost on an unfamiliar road. (source 1) "She seemed upset because she was lost," said Williams. Williams said Smiley used the phone to tell a relative they were lost and going to be late. He said the mother and son did not seem to be in trouble. If anything, said Williams, the boy seemed hungry. "We gave him a piece of pizza," said Williams. She was not injured but spoke of an accident, which investigators believe may have been a reference to falling down at the diner. (source 3)
NOTE: Gull Harbor Mercantile is NORTH of the Williams house. That means she got to the Mercantile, turned around and went back SOUTH toward the Williams house, turned left onto 46th and arrived at their house. Then when she left their house the again went NORTH on Boston Harbor Rd and passed the Mercantile a second time. I read in one story that she IS again on camera the second time, when she passed the Mercantile.
10:30 a.m. Sunday - local resident Jim Pribbenow was alerted by a neighbor to the gold 2005 Dodge Caravan on private beachfront property around 10:30 a.m. “The back hatch and the side door was open,” Pribbenow said. “The front end had gone in the mud and you could see where the wheels had spun in trying to back out.” Smiley’s wallet was inside but her purse was missing. (source 2)
Tides at the location where the car was found:
Low tide at 10:38 PM Sat. 1.7 feet
High tide at 6:08 AM Sun. 14 feet (difference of over 12 feet, which is typical for the area)
