from the sfgate you linked:
“She, apparently accidentally, left her phone and identification in the restaurant; both were later picked up by friends.”

Odd to have left her phone and ID behind, when for the majority of young people, they are never without their phones. jmo.
Have they done an autopsy/toxicology? Of course, this may turnout to be something entirely different, but reading about this case brought to my memory a case of a college student in CO who jumped from a balcony and died. He had eaten a marijuana edible in cookie form. He was supposed to eat only 1/6 of the cookie, but he ate the whole thing, and had a psychotic reaction. (

I don’t know how a breezeway looks like, but if he sat her on it to kiss, for example, and they both were not totally sober, it could have been enough for her to fall. Then the traumas would have been on her back and the back of the head. Close to the brainstem.
I wonder if it is exactly what has happened. But that would explain the guy’s reasoning behind his disappearance (drunk? With drugs in the system? Maybe provided something for her as well?). And, of course, one immediately gets sober…and cowardly.
Another thing, if she graduated a year ago, her ID must have been fake. If he was below 21, he probably had the same reasoning. He could have been a student or, sadly, a known dealer on the campus.
The local police might have known him and didn’t want a scandal. The walkways could have been unsafe for starts. If she was a minor and served in a nearby bar, another scandal. Too common.
My condolences to the family. What is interesting, she is local, from WA, and for sure, all the schools are rather known. Yet this story didn’t make waves locally till now. It tells me that the parents did everything right. They quietly hired a lawyer and a PI and as I hope, will bring the case to the deserved end. Too sad, and what a horrible thing, to lose one’s only child.
Somehow this case reminds me of that of Ribe and Konanki. A young woman, a big, but cowardly man, and an establishment, be it a resort or a university, mostly concerned about own reputation.
