This has gotten some talk on other threads, and I am also interested in what happened to the backpack, who she met on the bus, and where she may have gotten on and off.
If she DID board the bus with the backpack, but did not have it when she checked into the hostel in Miami, then that backpack (and possibly Gabriel) could be anywhere between San Antonio and Miami. I don't see LE searching every landfill between SA and Miami.
