I am wondering what type of area is on the other side of Interstate 5, by looking at the map it looks like there are some locations there that are wooded. and also an area that has a oval track of some sorts, what is that? the park that you all mention, is it a large park that is heavly wooded? that location should be searched. if she was picked up by a car, the person would not want to spend much time driving around but instead would be either going to a nearby home, or a location which would be void of other people, especially on the type of day it was then. fbi and media has been quite so maybe they have some good leads and just don't want the info to leak out. the fact that the stepdads lie detector test came back inconclusive is really odd, if he had nothing at all to do with this, then why those types of results? why did his story change from walking her to school to just watching her, how many other times did he walk or watch her go to school? as much as this little girl was out in the neighborhood someone would have seen her that morning and would have told her there was no school. something is very odd indeed with the yard cart and garbage can, if something happened to her at her home overnight then the stepdad would have had the cover of darkness to dispose of her, throwing her in a dumpster would be one possibility, but that runs a risk of being discovered, what type of apartment did they live in? was it connected to other units or were these separate units together? the boat thing, has it been verified as to who owned it? and has the neighbors yard been looked into and even underneath his home or even in the attic space? did the stepdad have connections to the nearby country club?
