Okay, again, I'm a little behind on the posts, but here are a few thoughts based on some of the most recent ones I've read:
1) Airports & Parking
I don't think anyone else has brought this up yet, but I know there's been some discussion of what the out-of-town students do with their cars when they leave for the summer and/or vacation. I know from experience of driving to the Indy airport at Christmas time (during winter break) that a lot of the students from the East Coast take a limousine service to the airport and leave their cars on campus, at their apartments, etc. I'm not sure if many of them do the same thing in the summer or not.
I don't necessarily think LS is in someone's car parked in Bloomington, but I just wanted to say this to show that students DO sometimes leave their cars when they go home for extended periods of time. I guess it's a possibility she could've crawled into one of those as someone suggested, but I really doubt it. At this point though, who knows. She's still missing and needs to be found.
2) Length of time at MB/CR's apartment
I don't recall ever reading anything in MSM about the length of time she stayed at their place. This is why some have speculated that she left their place after CR was in bed (so roughly 3 a.m.-ish), went outside but instead of going to JR's, she ran into the "mystery man", hence that sighting at 3:38 a.m., then perhaps ended up back at JR's by 4:00 a.m. and that's when the 4:15 call was made (assuming you believe she actually made that call). If she didn't want to go home when mystery man said "Can I take you home", she could've had the mystery man carry her back to the 5 North Townhomes so she could continue to party.
3) Trash service in Bloomington
Someone said earlier that they don't believe there is only one trash pickup in Bloomington. Most residences have their trash collected by the City of Bloomington, which assigns every property with a "trash day", and assuming the 5 North Townhomes are on this schedule, they would be on the Tuesday-A schedule for trash pickup. This is different than what I've heard, though.
I recall someone saying the 5 North trash is collected on Fridays. If that's the case, they do have a private company picking up their trash, as the previous person suggested. If this is the case, there would likely be different landfills. I have no clue where all the landfills are. I read on the City of Bloomington's website that all trash from Bloomington is taken to Pimento, IN about 55 miles away from B'ton:

So...the trash/landfill discussion definitely raises some questions. Which landfills did they search? Is the trash from 5 North taken to the same landfill as the rest of the Bloomington waste, or a different one?
4) ZO/AB being at Smallwood
I still don't buy into them being there just because of LS. Smallwood is literally right down the street from ZO & AB's place, and it is a hot spot for partying. I'm sure they have plenty of friends who live there that they might've been hanging out with. Also, some have speculated that ZO might have been jealous because he had a crush on LS. ZO has a girlfriend, and if anyone has seen her pics on Facebook, I'm sure we can all agree that she is very attractive. I just don't see him being all hung-up on LS when he already has a gf. Just my opinion, of course.
5) Fights at the Indy 500
How do we know that CR, LS, HT and their group were hanging out with ZO/AB and their group at the Indy 500? Has anyone on this board ever been to the 500? It's
MADNESS. There are
hundreds of thousands of people there and sometimes its difficult just to find the friends you came to the race with because of the massive amounts of people there. Speedway capacity is somewhere around 400,000. I have never read anything that said the two groups were together at the 500. Does anyone have any credible info on this? I'm very curious where all of that info came from. I have never seen anything that links ZO/AB with the whole CR/JR/LS/HT group aside from ZO punching CR.
Whew, sorry for the long post! That's all I have for now...
