Nothing different in any of these, just including for completeness.

She may have been seen at a club AFTER her disappearance?? I wonder about that...who was the person that supposedly saw Omayra? Was it a close friend who could be counted upon to reasonably identify her, or just a casual acquaintance? Did anyone else besides that person think they saw her there? And if so, did they try to approach her?

As for the last confirmed sighting of Omayra being in her home, who was it that confirmed that? Did the (presumably) family member report anything unusual, either in her behavior or speech?
