I just spoke on the phone with Sargent Pooley of the Tempe Police Department. He is in charge of Adrienne's case and he was very very receptive to my call and provided me with some additional information that has not been reported in the news sources.
He is one of the nicest people I have ever spoken with and I can assure you after speaking with him that they are not planning on letting this case go cold anytime in the near future. They are doing everything they can and following every possible lead in an attempt to find Adrienne. I am so thankful to know we have such capable and caring LE in our area!
Sargent Pooley shared the timeline and information that he 'could' with me. He gave me permission to quote him:
He said that Adrienne and her boyfriend were at the apartment party on Friday night and that there were approximately 40 to 50 people there. He said that Adrienne and her boyfriend began to argue because she "didn't feel he was showing her enough attention". According to the boyfriend, Sargent Pooley told me that the boyfriend suggested they leave the party and go to his place in Scottsdale to continue the discussion. At his place they continued to argue and she left stating she was going to walk home.
He didn't want her to walk to he followed her and asked her to get into his car so he could take her home. She did but when they reached 5th and Mill (or that vicinity) she got out of his car. The boyfriend was very concerned about Adrienne and called her roommate to pick her up or "meet her halfway". The roommate did this. According to Sargent Pooley, this was somewhere around 2:30am.
After Adrienne got back to the party, which Sargent Pooley said broke up around 3:00am, she wanted to go back to her boyfriend's house and packed a large bag. She told her roommates she was leaving and they heard her go out the door, which makes a noise and get into her car, which was parked right by the door. They are certain she left right away after going out the door.
This was, according to all counts, around 3:30am.
911 call at 3:44am. Sargent Pooley added to the 911 call, saying that the caller reported that a car had been tailgating her and driving erratically before hitting the median and that she wanted to help the person in the car but they sped off before she could lend assistance.
Sargent Pooley also told me they have searched the car and from all indications, including the seat position, etc. that they feel certain Adrienne was driving the car alone.
He did verify that she went back to her apartment and that no one saw her. She did change clothes and she left behind her large bag and her wallet with all of her identification.
He told me that the last time anyone saw Adrienne was at approximately 3:30am when she told her roommates she was leaving to go back to her boyfriend's house, before the accident.
Sargent Pooley confirmed to me that her cell phone has NOT been found.
We also spoke about the possible connection to the Annovedwin Begay body that was found the same day. He did say they had considered a connection but did not feel that Gerrick Begay, whose body was found in Town Lake only two weeks before, was related to Annovedwin. He didn't tell me conclusively that they felt there was any connection to the two cases but I definitely got the feeling he did not think so or they had ruled it out.
He did tell me that they have checked out the possibility of her going to Mexico and wondered what led me to believe that she might have gone down there, as well.
He asked me to keep up posting on social media and keeping the interest up to keep the case alive. He confirmed that the FBI is assisting them in their investigation.
He said they are considering every possibility that they can and found it very strange that she left behind her little dog that she loved very much without asking anyone to take care of it.
I have to tell you....I could tell from his voice how deeply saddened he is by this case and just how much he wants to find Adrienne.
He told me he would update the website as soon as possible and is grateful for everyone's help.
If I can think of anything else Sargent Pooley told me I will update this post.

Update: (I just remembered a couple of things Sargent Pooley told me.)
I asked him if there were any suspects and he said "No, we don't have suspects, but suspects and persons of interest are two different things." He then went on to tell me that there were some things he could not share with me, which of course I understood, and as I recall, this was after I had inquired if they had been able to interview all the party guests. He did say that they had spoken with most of them.
The other thing he told me is that one of the reasons they searched the lake so soon was they feared she might have fallen into the lake on the way to her boyfriend's place.
I asked him about suicide and he told me it was one of the things they had considered.
He also confirmed the last call being to the cab driver at 5:06am.
Another thing....when he told me that she did go back to the apartment and change her clothes following the accident, I asked him "Did anyone see her?" And he said "No, this is where things get fuzzy." He either used the word 'fuzzy' or 'confusing'. But he repeated that no one said they saw her when she went back to change clothes.
That's all I can recall. Hope this information can help WS's to put this together better and maybe come up with something new!
