Ford Field: Do you mean the football arena (it's in downtown Detroit) or something that you are seeing on your map searches? Something related to Ford Motor Co. in Dearborn?

There's a Ford Field Park in Dearborn:

See the green area on the map, appears to be a park like area.

When folks around here say Ford Field, they're usually referring to the (fairly new) home of the Detroit Lions in downtown Detroit.

"As workers were opening up Tuesday morning, they found the discount retailer in disarray and Orlando’s body with gunshot wounds."

Shot more than once. I wonder if he tried to stop the abduction / robbery.

I see a moustache also (whether or not this is painted on...)

The features appear to be male to me (hands, feet), but there's really no telling. It could be a female for all I know!

There were 2 female customers in the Family Dollar Store between approximately 7:25pm and 7:35pm prior to the incident taking place. Dearborn Police would like to speak to these customers and are urging them to contact the Dearborn Police Department as soon as possible at 313-943-2241.

Unless these two customers paid with cash all LE needs to do is check the debit/credit card info to identify these customers.

Brenna's twitter--not sure how to link it but its @mizzbrenna

Check out the one male follower--seems not the type to be let down easy, but I can't tell if he's talking about her or another girl.

Also a screen grab of her missing poster from her brother's twitter--sorry, I don't know how to link from twitter.

Thanks Hejlena. Here's the link:

On June 26, she said she was pulling doubles at work. So she was spending a lot of time there. Did the perp previously scope the place and see her working?

Says she was at the hookah bar on June 16th...

Also says she is just about to buy her first house.

Hope this guy lets her go alive!

Here's a link to another photo of her. Pretty girl.

Maybe they were browsing and didn't purchase anything.

I hope they find these two and get some answers. At least one of them had to be in the store at the same time and could identify gender, ethnicity ect....

Just throwing this out there. Sometimes people want to make it appear that robbery is the motive. Not saying this is the case, just mentioning it though. Also, sometimes there can be more than one motive.

I wonder who the guy is in the photos to the left of Brenna's Tweets?

"They don't think robbery was a motive. There was some type of an altercation out behind her store. She went out back to find out what was going on, and they believe that's when she was abducted. After the abduction, they went in, they killed the cashier," said Jamie Machus, her father.

"One guy in particular kept making threatening Facebook messages to her. This kid used to come in and harass her at the store, and she'd have to ask him to leave or whatever because he was stoned."

Hmmmmm....

[BetteDavisEyes]

Hmmmmm....

Did LE provide this information to Brenna's father, or is he speculating about what might have happened? Jessica Heeringa's mother and fiancé speculated about what might have transpired the night that she went missing, but I don't think that police actually gave them details about the crime.

 

[JoCoKSEyes]

Whether or not the store was actually locked up when the employees arrived in the morning seems like a major clue to me. If in fact the store was locked up, could an employee of the store (either current or former) have fallen victim to course of habit and locked the door on the way out?

Possibly a stash but I see a shadow any man this covered up supportive identified would not let his moustache be seen. I think agro American would be correct another thing that makes me think it's a female is the way she's raised the one hand in the air as she turned seem feline to me jmo
