we cant really be certan about of the sightings even the taxi driver could be mistaken imean i dont think he knew ruth

the thing that goes against Ruth leaving of her own free will is she doesn't take anything with not her walkman or tapes not a change of clothes or even a coat.

that doesn't strike me as someone who's planning run away it doesn't even strike me as someone whos planning to stay out the night thats strikes me as someone who is planning to return home

i mean he parents are at work, her sister is at school, she has all day to pack a bag but doesn't

The thing is that a coat is a pretty stand-out item - so dependent on what sort of coat she had, she may not have wanted to have taken it if then people would've remembered her on that night (remember she was trying to pull off the idea of a suicide). IMO she had help getting away, so a friend may have had a coat for her late on that evening.

she wasnt carrying anything in the taxi if she didn't go home that night how could she be carrying a suitcase the next day

Because she may have left it with a friend. Over time she could've removed items of clothing from her wardrobe and then stashed them with a friend - interestingly it's remarked quite often that she wasn't much of dresser and didn't really care about fashion. It would mean that potentially there wasn't anything stand-out in her wardrobe that perhaps anyone would've noticed missing.

I see this case has been going on for a while... Is there any evidence aside from the timeline?

Not really. Some things, like the footage of the girl in the shop, have just vanished from on-line. It'll be interesting to see as the case reaches its 30 year anniversary next month if the press pick it up again and more details come out, the family make any statements or, and this would be the best, that we hear from Ruth herself (I'm still very much of the opinion that she stared a new life)

The one piece of evidence we do have is that the police do not have a scooby. This is not a criticism but they do not conduct a case review using a Superintendent if they know what happened.
