I was thinking about the time that Yolanda was allegedly dropped off at the greenhouse where she worked. I'm about 150 miles west of the metropolitan Grand Rapids area, and at 5:30AM it is still dark here. Daylight is usually @6:15AM. Farther west, it's probably a little later, but it was most certainly dark at 5:30 when Yolanda was reportedly dropped off by her husband.
I can't seem to find hours of operation for Neal Mast & Sons. Since this is primarily a wholesale outlet, the hours might not be similar to a retail greenhouse. Can any locals provide information about shifts at the greenhouse and why Yolanda would have been dropped off for work so early? Would other employees have been there at that time? What kind of shifts do employees work?
Is the parking lot and greenhouse exterior well-lit at 5:30 in the morning? Were there cars in the parking lot? If there aren't surveillance cameras, did anyone besides Yolanda's husband see her being dropped off? If no other employees saw Ms. Reyes throughout the day, it's probably safe to say that she was never inside the building. I tend to think that Yolanda was never at the greenhouse that morning. :moo:
