And why would she have food delivered to her house at the same time she's at the 7-11? MOO

I was looking for it too. Perhaps her male friend was holding it?

I thought it was very likely that she fell in the river. Now I'm not so sure. The photo was about 10:30pm and what time did her BF get off work?

It is pretty odd. Is it possible that she and BF got in an argument on the phone after she ordered the food, so she left? Just thinking out loud.

Following along.
so now we know that the last person to see her, that we know of, is the homeless dude fresh out of jail, seen at the store, buying liquor with her.

I was thinking roommate being last to see her, but apparently, it is this guy from jail.

We do not know what kind of boots were found ??

She did not plan on being gone too long if she ordered food to be delivered, unless food was for BF after he gets home from work and not for her.

Praying they find her soon.

I think he arrived at her place/home at 12am according to MSM.

Im thinking she had an episode and wanted to bail. Usually when people leave their cell phones its because they dont want to be reached. Leave your cell phone and walk a block to drop something off then come back..... ok, sure.
Leave your cell phone after ordering food( cant track when its coming ), and go to the store to purchase alcohol.....? Im not saying its impossible or doesnt happen, but at that hour, ordering food, its raining, I am starting to believe she had some kind of manic episode and the food order was some kind of nice gesture and she walked away from her life for the night. Maybe not with intentions to be gone forever but foul play followed.
I mean, a woman with a homeless man and alcohol late at night.....what could go wrong?

i believe she purposely planned to be gone for a bit, but things went sour:(

I'm on the complete opposite of this thought ( not arguing), I'm also getting that hinky crap questioning more yet it seems to easy to buy the " fell into the water" story. IDK. I'm not happy that LE hasn't spent enough time searching that water either.

Not only not enough time searching the water, but they have only searched a relatively short distance downstream of the bridge. The river was raging that night after a heavy rainfall and it's likely CM could have been swept a long way downstream. Some areas South of Napa are more remote and a body might not be discovered for some time. MOO

If all that of these alleged sightings or even one of them are true from after she was recorded at the 7-11 I would completely agree there is more to the story and it was voluntary.

But to me it seems more plausible that she was running up to grab some alcohol which “should” have not taken long. It’s quite possible she had already been drinking/was intoxicated and maybe just left her phone.

What stands out is the original sighting saying she was last seen around the trail at 9. Who saw her? And the trail is rather long so where on the trail? She lives off the street where the trail starts/ends so was she seen “on” the trail or right at the access spot which she would have walked past on the way to the 7-11?

they look more like a dressy boot vs a rain boot. IMO

Edit: read comments/rumors? who knows. IMO
I agree. They look like ankle boots with maybe a block heel? Hard to tell through that screen but they don't look like rain boots. It also looks like maybe she has her wallet in her left hand. I wonder how much cash she had on her and who may have seen it? MOO

If the boots found by the river are the boots she's wearing in the 7-11 picture I can understand taking them off. Looks like walking on a wet surface would be really slick in those boots. MOO

my issue is that: 1. you dont order food, then set your phone down and leave home.
2. He said she called him at 10:15 pm asking him if he wanted any other food or whatever, and mentions going to the store. She didn’t care about ordering more food but rather setting the excuse of why she didnt answer her phone because maybe it was going dead and she made a quick trip to the store. The food had to be ordered already at 10:15 if it arrived at 10:30. So she slipped in the store so the focus wasn’t on that and the fact she was going to the store with another man at 10:30 at night and NOT taking her phone. No man would be ok with that if they cared. 3. The picture in the video shows her laughing as she is opening the door. Common behavior on weekend nights at any gas station next to or around bars or clubs. People laughing or smiling and talking with a friend or whatever as they walk in. The point being, she was feeling good about herself. Furthermore the point I am getting at, is she is a grown woman, knows her bf wouldnt like the idea of her going to the store with another man, especially a homeless man to buy him alcohol at 10:30 at night WITHOUT her phone especially. But, she is in a manic state, feeling good about herself, and she is grown and she is going to be generous all she wants. So, she makes the call at 10:15 so that she can go to the store and do all that and maybe have a beer maybe not, but she has an excuse as to why she left her phone. No woman in her right mind, in her late 30’s, dying her hair orange and going to the store in the rain at 10:30 at night to buy alcohol for a homeless man without her phone.

My stance is she is having a bipolar or manic state, feeling good, didnt want to fight or argue about her wanting to help others, and this ended up leading to her being extremely vulnerable, which lead to her now being missing. Not saying she deserved it, not at all. Just saying that poor decisions, likely due to mental health of some sort, lead to a series of actions that put her in an incredibly unsafe situation. And here we are.

Cases where drugs are involved are notoriously hard to solve due to many of the same behaviors. Poor decision making and putting yourself in a bad situation around people you dont or barely know.

Well I am not saying she planned to be gone for days or longer, but rather for an hour or two and not wanting her bf to know she was with another man buying him alcohol or walking with him.
All the sightings though, I agree, if it really is here on that Thursday then she had more of a mental health issue than I suspect.
I thought her roommate talked to her at 9pm. Where did you see she was seen at a trail at 9pm? My theory is she talked to the roommate, then went down to find the homeless lady, ran into the homeless man, went back home to grab her wallet, make the call to her bf to set up the excuse for bot answering her phone if he were to call, keeping from him that she was hanging out with a homeless man. Then she leaves, leaves her phone, plans to be gone till around when he is getting home at midnight. Homeless guy or someone else are involved in her demise.
My theory^.

Copied from a comment upthread:

"According to Sgt. Pete Piersig, McCarthy was observed at about 10:34 p.m. on a security video at a nearby 7-Eleven store, with a homeless man who had recently been released from jail. She was seen in the video purchasing alcohol, a detail Piersig said was consistent with what her boyfriend Wright believed she was doing, Piersig said in an email about the encounter."

Would seem to counter your argument that she was trying to deceive her boyfriend. MOO

Noting:

Napa police detective Brandt Keown said the department isn’t considering foul play at this point, given the information they have, and that the homeless man has been cooperative and forthcoming in interviews with police.

Wright and several of McCarthy’s friends said McCarthy is a very friendly person who could strike up a conversation with anyone. Wright added McCarthy is an “amazing social butterfly and one of the bubbliest people I know,” and that they have a great relationship.

“She’d talk to anybody; she didn’t really have much of a filter for dangerous people, potentially at least,” Wright said.

Not liking this story about this homeless man. Met on bridge, go to store and buy alcohol ( I'm sure she bought), drink under bridge. Run out. He goes to get more ( with what $?). That story takes a turn for me. They have to do a better search of that water. IMO

Exactly! I dont trust the newly released from prison homeless man at all. In that article it says Wright says its not abnormal for her to leave her phone behind. In my opinion she is the type to get too wrapped up in her emotions and run with it. She is feeling good and generous, want to celebrate with the homeless man, and didnt want to be bothered to explain herself. In the 7-11 footage you can see she is smiling or laughing real big, which is her normal character apparently. So she wants to be the kind person she is and ot judge the homeless man, and to me, after a drink or two, the homeless man turned on her. Or, another homeless person or person passing by.
