Now you have got me thinking.. I wonder if something kind of came together for LE at this point.. and it is the coming together that is becoming a clue.. ie, say there is a police report somewhere, tucked away from a month ago, wherein the fellow AP handed in someone's ID, a report filled out (I think that is *always* done), and the guy maybe said he didn't know her, just found it and handing it in. They (LE) end up giving it back to her. She tells someone about it, possibly her mom...
Then.. as LE are examining all of her technology, her pics, private FB msgs hopefully, texts, etc.. (wasn't it fairly recently when the mom reported that the records had come back from 'Bell'?).. they see something related to AP, even after AP may have told them he didn't know the person. I wonder if that pic was in her files, wherever she keeps them (hidden on FB maybe?), and a link became apparent, when one wasn't supposed to exist (according to AP's little report about finding the ID)..
Then they may have asked mom or someone if they knew anything about it.. and possibly heard more to the story, like.. they were out together a month ago when this happened (the missing ID), and maybe something weird happened that she also told her mom about. Just theorizing here..
Or.... after finding him in 2 places (handing in the missing ID and also perhaps on JRN's photo files), they saw CCTV of him in the area that night, or even at the Water Grill that night that she went missing? Then LE might be wondering why he didn't mention in the first place, etc, that he 'knew' her? Kind of eery to think that he would have had access to her home address, name, etc., and who knows what else, if he had found her ID.

maybe the pic was lifted off her phone and there is no accompanying name with it?
