I appreciate your calm posting style. Big friendly wave to you.
(color added by me)
Sorry, but I consider rumors that are not,in some way, supported by
actual fact to be unsatifactory for use as a base for building a theory.
(That is my opinion & not a directive for how others must be.)
For example:
Hypothetic case:
If some person named Bill goes missing after a night of drinking
with friends and LE finds his body and cause of death is found to be
gunshot wound and if one of the 2 last people known to be in his
company before he went missing has been arrested a few times for
getting drunk & threatening people with a gun then, if no facts ruled it
out, I might theorize that person might have been responsible for Bill's
death and should be looked at carefully.
But if Bill goes missing and his body is has not been found I will not
go on a rumor that his neighbor Nancy shot him because he played his
music too loud and then make up an entire theory based on supposed
friction with his neighbor Nancy with speculation of a love triangle
thrown in to boot. For me there has to be an actual basis in fact.
Of course not all people are me. Everyone has their own way of
looking at things.
In this real case about Lauren:
If her boyfriend had a past history
(mentioned in MSM or verifiable by court documents) of becoming
threatening and violent when someone broke up with him then I could
see that fact as being reason to theorize he needs to be looked at
strongly in Lauren's disapearance.
Or if those with Lauren the night she was last seen had been busted
by LE for partying with illegal drugs before I might see that as basis
for theorizing that those drugs might have been present again, perhaps,
but without any such factual history I would not pour out a theory
of heavy drug use & OD as cause of death.
In fact without something to indicate death I hate to begin theorizing
the missing person is even dead. That is because I have read so many
cases here on Websleuths, over the years, where it looked like foul play
but in fact was not foul play at all and often the missing person was not
dead, much to almost everyone's surprise.
I wanted to take a moment to commend you for remaining open
to other possible case outcomes.
It seems they have already been looking in those 'more sense' areas.
However even if it might sound unlikely for someone to leave a car
with a body behind at an airport I posted links to show it has
happened and infact already has happened this spring/summer
if I correctly recall my last websearch on the subject.
I waited until other lines of searching seemed to have failed before
mentioning the airport possibility.
In the beginning an airport was not the most likely place to look
but after all the searches on the local grounds and out in the county
rural areas failed to produce results it seemed time to begin to look
in secondary places that are of the type where bodies have been
known to have been found in other cases.
I can't remember a case of a body turning up in a walmart,
as you mentioned, but I have read of bodies turning up
at airport parking areas so I posted.
Of course self storage areas have also been known to house a body
but it is easier to get the airport parking area looked at than to get
private storage opened up all across the area.
There are probably other likely areas to look & I hope people come up
with the right place.
