I'm sure hoping these pictures take; I planned the one I'm calling the Large photo on the left and the smaller photo on the right. The Large photo is a copy of one on previous recent posts.
I've been working on this post for a little while now, and coincidentally, it seems that Matthew just posted a few mins ago, and what he's saying is what I also agree with; I just tried to really spell it out, from the perspective of someone who has not been to the actual area.
This is kind of a two purpose post: I'm asking if my perspective on the N/S/E/W of the area as seen in photos is correct; then I'm trying to make a point about whether any vehicle was seen up DR's driveway. I hope it makes sense, and I hope the pictures work.
Hi, looking for clarification, verification, possibly agreement.
The Large picture is showing North (top) and South (bottom); correct(?).
DR's place/driveway to the right is East. Smaller driveway like spot across street to left is West.
The Wetterling house is South of DR's toward (beyond) bottom of picture and Tom Thumb's is North, toward (beyond) top of picture
Coming home from Tom Thumb's, Jacob, Trevor and Aaron were traveling south toward Wetterling's and when they were stopped, DR's driveway was on their left and just up the road a bit, and the small drive like spot across the street is to their right, and they were stopped just before this; and this is where they laid down their bikes, and this is where they laid face down in the grass/ditch, and this is where Aaron and Trevor ran somewhat South/West, toward the Wetterling's and away from DR's place. This is my understanding; is this all correct/accurate so far?
Actually, if you look at the Large picture; where it says 16th Ave SE, if you think of the "A" in Ave as a pointer, pointing to the left, then I'm thinking that it would be pointing kind or right at the spot, where the boys and their bikes laid down.
With perspective; the smaller picture is a little better graphic. The kids were stopped before they reached DR's drive way and they ended up laying down and laying their bikes down across the street from DR's in the smaller drive and to the north of that drive. This is where the crime scene photos show the bikes. This location, I would say is the primary crime scene; DR's driveway didn't become a part of the crime scene, until Jacob was taken, across the street, and 40 yards up DR's driveway. This spot where the kids sere stopped and they and the bikes were laid down is across the street from and before they reached DR's driveway. Also, they were confronted by a masked gunman, in the dark. I personally say that it's way, way more likely than not, that they weren't looking up DR's driveway and any glance in that direction, would more likely Not spot a vehicle parked 40 yards up, in the dark (especially a dark colored vehicle). And, frankly, they really didn't have the vantage point for that. Personally, I don't think that because Trevor and Aaron reported that they did not see any vehicle, that it can be concluded that there was no vehicle in DR's driveway. Also, there's also a possibility of another accomplice who was driving, who could have been more than 40 yrds up the drive at the time of the actual abduction, then, came forward after the other boys had run away. I personally think that there is Nothing from LE that can give us anything specific/conclusive about tire tracks on the driveway.
