I'm really not convinced that the information provided by the man in the photo is completely accurate. It makes no sense that she went to be with one person but leaves the photo out of another.

There is also the vagueness despite giving very personal details about Becca. And the mention of the friend Jack, which is also vague and not followed up. And the drop off with a rucksack when she had a suitcase.

That's not to say I think the man in the photo had anything to do with her death. But I do wonder if he was at the motel but is afraid to say so in case people assume he was involved. The fact that she had heroin in her system could also mean that he wants to create distance whilst also trying to give info that could help identify her. I just think it's a bit more complicated.

He's telling the truth.

I said this early on but law enforcement has all the info they need from him. We just need tips on Becca. I got called a liar when I first spoke out on Polaroid Guy being identified - the reason being is I didn't provide any proof. But if anyone thought that I would be divulging a private email conversation with my name, then they are sadly mistaken.

I can't answer about Jack though. You should ask the podcast host about him.

PG WASN'T at the motel. She had that picture of the two of them together because they were still friends. He dropped her off at LAX so she could fly out to Albuquerque to be with Eduardo. Last time he ever saw her. He has no idea what happened in ABQ.

One more thing: as it turns out, it appears that she had actually consumed cocaine and not heroin. He's not hiding the fact that she was a user of illicit substances - he acknowledged that she used cocaine and marijuana and that the scale was used for measuring packages of cocaine.

To be honest, I spent much of the period during the podcast confused about the fact that lots of things were being classed as "new" info when I thought it was mostly already known.

I agree that you shouldn't have to reveal your personal information. Like mist things when it comes to trying to identify does, information has to be accepted on a trust basis. Hardly any info we accept can "proven" beyond reasonable doubt.

No one thing or person will have pushed her over the edge that led to her taking her life. I always hope that people remember that and don't start blaming people they don't know about a situation they have very little information about. We have no idea what led to her ending her life.

I am confused about the cocaine/heroine mix up though. I thought the medical examiner had found heroine in her system but is it that it's got mixed up over the (many) years?

Just finished listening to the podcast and wow- highly recommend (especially that last episode).
One of the first thoughts I had was that if she was indeed a foster child who aged out (as Maxine the podcaster suggested), maybe she passed through Maclaren Hall in ElMonte CA. For those who are not familiar with it, it was a hell-on-earth center where LA County dumped its unwanted children for decades up until 2003 when the lawsuits and allegations of abuse finally shut it down. There are Facebook groups for the survivors. Has anyone circulated her picture and story amongst any of these groups?
