This news report that says 'last seen leaving' (I wonder why nobody seems to have come across that article before now??) seems to match with her sister's understanding, because her sister said during the press conference (don't have the wording in front of me right now) that 'she left'. I wonder if this MSM got their information from the sister directly, while the others got theirs from LE? It does seem that it is a point which LE seem to be keeping quiet for some reason. I have no idea why.

Actually, perhaps I can take a wild guess. The power of 'suggestion' perhaps? If police said last seen somewhere else, I wonder if some peoples' 'false memory syndrome' might kick in, ie 'oh yes, I saw someone who looked like her at that location on that night'. So perhaps they (LE) are protecting the integrity of their case by simply stating 'last seen at her home', because then they will only hear otherwise from people who actually did see her in a different location, and it could never be said later during a trial, that LE put that idea in their heads? Although.. 'last seen at her home', and 'last seen leaving her home' are basically the same location anyway, so does that make sense?

Since her vehicle apparently had bad brakes, discovered only the night before SMB went missing, that would indicate that she likely didn't drive her car to Edmonton on that day, nor after she got home.

I sense this feeling of someone having dug a hole for her/himself somehow. It would have been so much simpler if she had simply never arrived home from Edmonton at all on the evening of Nov 26th.. except.. if someone was providing the transportation, one couldn't easily make that statement, could they? So then a certain person might become therefore by default, the last person to have seen her, when otherwise, it could have been someone in Edmonton being the last person.

Then from there it has to be figured out that if she arrived home, then where did she go, because her vehicle is still here at home and with bad brakes according to SMB. It was a 0degree C ish evening temp wise IIRC, so I wonder if SMB did much walking alone at 12:30 at night in that temp? Was it windy at all? And why would she have left her cellphone in that situation? If she had planned on disappearing, what did she pack to take with her on foot? Or was she just going to hope for the best, that she would find clothing along the way?

Unfortunately by the time she was finally reported missing 5 days later, were any video recordings from local area establishments still available to track her? I would love to know if her bank card was used after she was last seen, since family said they had put up posters in the area where she had last been known to spend money before disappearing. "The family has put up posters around Inglewood where her last financial transactions were made." (from http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/shannon-madill-missing-calgarian-sought-by-police-1.2862214 )

If a stranger/perp had stolen her wallet and bank cards/credit cards, and was bold enough to use them in the first place, why would they stop using them? They had 5 days to use them before the news of her being missing came out. I wonder when the final 'financial transaction' was made? I wonder how many transactions and when the first one was? Were police ever able to verify with the establishment that it was a person matching SMB's description who actually used the card? Don't cards nowadays require pin numbers, even credit cards? Would a stranger be able to determine her pin within few enough times to not get it locked out? Would her husband know her pin? My husband knows my pin. In fact, we both have the same pin for our cards. We even borrow each other's cards from time to time. I wonder if their financial arrangement was similar? I wonder who it was that called in tips saying she may have been seen in 'either of the locations of Vancouver or Toronto'? Why is it stated to be 'either', rather than 'both'? Is 'both' too unbelievable?

Unfortunately, when you click on the bio of the author of the article in question, you get this:

"Alyssa Julie
News Producer

Alyssa lived in both Toronto and Ottawa, before moving to Calgary to start her career in the broadcast industry.

She started at Global Calgary as a producer with the local morning show, before moving on to produce the Lethbridge evening weekend news. Her interest in online news production blossomed from the very beginning of her career at Global. She now plays a key role in managing the online presence of both Global Calgary and Global Lethbridge on weekends.

In her free time, you can find Alyssa reading, attending the theatre, or spending time with friends."

It doesn't sound like this person would have inside information, contact with the family, or any special privileges with LE. The lack of any other detail in the very short article suggests "reporter assumption", not fact.

FYI on facebook ---- there is a "deactivation" and a "delete" account option .... when i was looking for a new job, I deactivated my account for months --- upon reactivation I had all my same friends, old messages, ect ---- it just showed for those months that I had NO account. Now I had an old account I deleted (after only having a few months) and there is no way to reactivate or anything of the sorts --- you would have to start a new account completely from scratch.

Just another note, my 33 year old cousin died 3 years ago this may --- his mom still can't get his account deleted, FB will not cooperate, even with a death certificate.

Has FB indicated why they will not delete the account?

Thanks for the FB info, it does get confusing. I've never deleted or deactivated so this is all informative and good to know.

That's really awfully about your cousin and FB. I feel like there should be a Facebook exposé or news documentary (48 Hours/Dateline type show) highlighting FB and legal rights in relation to missing/deceased people. After hearing your story and recently JMB's case and the warrant, FB seems to have too much legal power. Scary...
