Something I've been thinking about for a while, but haven't mentioned: Derby Avenue (the road LE requested footage of for miles, and the road the donation bins are located on) runs parallel to a river. There is a trail along the river as well. It's apparently a popular trail, although I don't know what the foot traffic looks like specifically in each section at any given time of day.
I've been worried since the beginning that VM may have been dropped into the river, but there was nothing to push me more towards that happening other than the convenience of the location and the fact that it would have been less "violent" than other options. The donation bins are obviously also right across from the river, but there was nothing tying VM to the river.
The car seat being found near BJ's, however, ties VM to the area (assuming it IS her car seat that was found). Just a thought I've had for a while that I hope is wrong. I attached a satellite view of the area.
