[FONT=&] If the shopkeepers were planning, along with this ride-offering friend, to do harm to Jenny, they (the shopkeepers) would not have mentioned the friend and the ride offer to investigators.
If the shopkeepers are innocent, and their friend picked Jenny up, the shopkeepers would have reported this (just like they reported the ride offer, they would have reported a pickup). But that is not what was reported.
If the ride-offering friend got Jenny out of the corona truck after it had already picked Jenny up, the innocent shopkeepers would have had to tell the friend that Jenny had been picked up by the corona truck (having arrived after the corona truck, the friend would not have known this otherwise). If they had told the friend about the corona truck, they would have reported telling the friend about the truck to investigators. But, this is not what the shopkeepers reported (as far as we know).
For me, the most likely scenario remains that of the shopkeepers and their friend being innocent, and that the corona driver picked up Jenny, as reported.
