I think this new evidence, if conclusive, rules out the notion that she wandered off and had gotten lost somewhere. 13 miles is an awfully long way to "wander off" to.
I was born and raised in Southern Michigan. It wouldn't take that long to get from Newport to Flat Rock, and you could do it basically undetected via back-roads.
I saw on the Help Find Chelsea Bruck facebook page a post about 2 individuals charged with giving false information in Chelsea's case. Does anyone know anything about this? I couldn't find the link to the news article online.
I don't think that's Chelsea. The girl in that photo has short hair and Chelsea had a long, dark wig. It's possible it could be tucked back so it looks shorter, but in my opinion, it looks like a completely different person.

I would post a link to the man from the sketch's account, but I am new, and I am still unclear as to what what is acceptable to post and what is not where identity is concerned.
So I created a temporary "MeetMe" account to see what I could dig up. It definitely appears to be a hook up site similar to tinder and the like. I will post my findings as soon as I figure out how to search for people.
Edit: CB does not appear to have an account on MeetMe. Or rather, she is not...
This is my first post on Websleuths, so I apologize if the information I share has already been covered. I thought I knew the identity of the gentleman in the police sketch, so I submitted my tip with crimestoppers online. Additionally, I decided to google search the young man's name to see what...
