Poster Dave F has been posting really interesting insightful stuff. I believe he is the one who mentioned the possibility of an FBI traffic search. It doesn't specifically mention the Safeway parking lot, but it implies it, to me.
B was last seen at the Safeway on Highway 24 in Woodland Park, shopping for approximately one half hour. LE has said that PF is the last to see her, during roughly the next half hour. Using traffic flow from the November 2015 paper “Woodland Park Transportation Study”, one can estimate that 600 average vehicles passed the Safeway store in that hour, or which about 400 were driving straight thru town and 200 were locals. Chances are very great that someone in one of those 600 vehicles took the phone to Gooding, Idaho. PF is out, he has an alibi for the next three days. so scratch one local vehicle.
The FBI received a tip from the R’s in Twin Falls, Idaho that may or may not identify another of the vehicles. This one would be in the “passing straight thru town” category. They did what the FBI does. They filled out an interview form and filed a copy in Pocatello, then sent the form on to Salt Lake, where another copy was ripped off and filed. It then went to Denver, where another copy was filed, and then to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, who had requested forensic assistance from the FBI in the KB case. Then it finally went to the 5th District of Colorado Attorneys office. Upon examination, they might ask the FBI for clarification of something in the report, but will not likely use the FBI further. The most likely recipient of that call is the Twin Falls County Sheriff’s office.
Either through their own investigators or local LE, the Colorado prosecutors will inevitably follow this lead as far as it goes.
Two down, 598 to go. If you are keeping more precise statistics, that’s 399 passing thru, and 199 local.
