It's about a 1-hour 20-minute drive from Three Mile Rd Charleston to where Grace lived in Gallipolis Ferry and about another 20 minutes to the area her car was found.
Just want to clarify - she was last seen at her father's house on 3 Mile Rd in Mason County, WV. That's fairly close to the TNT and Gallipolis Ferry, where she lives. 3 Mile Rd in Charleston is in Kanawha County.
IMO, having cold/frozen groceries in her car indicates a couple of things from a logic standpoint:
- It's unlikely Grace was living in her car since she couldn't prepare frozen food
- With cold/frozen food in her car it's unlikely Grace had plans to meet anyone right after leaving the store
However, if there are possible MH issues involved, and we don't know that for certain, then logical decision making may not apply here.
Do we know how far this grocery store is from where her car was found? Was there a receipt in the bag(s) indicating the date/time she purchased these groceries?

The name of the grocery store hasn't been named. There are two worth noting that would be on a driving route to McClintic - Piggly Wiggly and Dollar General, both in Point Pleasant. I've marked both on my map as well as added the boundaries of Gallipolis Ferry.
Upthread there's a photo of the car - can a local possibly guess what store the bag is from? It looks like it says "SHOP" in big red letters. Could be a department store, I suppose; Piggly Wiggly uses red a lot, but I can't tell offhand if that's a bag they've used.
