Current search of a home in relation to this case.

State Police searching property in connection to missing St Johnsville woman

The man at the property was arrested for gun possession unrelated to her disappearance. Since I was able to find him in public records, I can state he is NOT a minor so for him to have illegal guns he would be a felon. Criminal Arrest records confirmed that (sale of controlled substances). Not naming him as he's not formally a POI.

I wonder what the distance is between the Stewart's and her home. I also wonder how she was spotted heading home, whether from a co-worker, passerby, or surveillance.

Hope LE is able to pull some footage along that route to provide some answers.

There seem to be quite a few businesses along Rte. 5 heading East, including a US Post Office. Being a government building, you'd think there'd be at least one camera there pointing out to the street.

There is even a Citizens Bank nearby.

From my understanding stewarts is about 3 blocks from her home. So hopefully the bank can glean some information because I honestly don’t think there are multiple options as far as cameras go.

The 21-year-old was walking the three blocks home at the end of her shift at Stewart’s when she went missing.

I hope so too. After checking out the street view on Google Maps, I agree that it certainly seems to be limited, as far as camera options go.

A little under 500 feet east of the Stewart's Shop is an NBT bank, which appears to have a camera on the outside facing the street (rte 5).

Of course, we don't know for sure if she maintained that route after last seen heading east. But I just hope there is some other surveillance along that route (in addition to what might have recorded from Stewart's Shop cams, where she worked) that can hopefully bring a clearer picture to her whereabouts soon after she left the shop to head home.
