I've been wondering about this too. I think that while the initial SBCSO's Nixle summary mentions 20 miles, as soon as 3 days after Barbara disappeared, the Nixle updates start to refer to the Kelbaker Road/Hidden Hills location 6.3 miles north of I-40 where RT apparently said BT disappeared and where they set up their command post to search.bbm

Frustrating. Was it "20 miles" or "6.3 miles" north of I-40?
Does that mean LE believes that whatever happened to BT occurred 14 miles farther north of where RT says she 'disappeared around a corner'?
RT's lawyer is working on a way to get information?
Get information from whom?
Is that an ...admission by proxy?
So I wonder whether the initial mention of 20 miles north of I-40 was just an error, or whether might reflect something else. Maybe RT's location when he called them? I have no idea. (I've also tried to figure out whether the Kelbaker Road/Hidden Hills location is 20 miles from some other location they might've used as a reference point, but have come up blank.) MOO.
