Is the POI wearing gloves in the picture?

I don’t see gloves, I think I could see his hands pretty well? My eyes aren’t that great, though

Can someone please tell me the address of the Chevron? I know it’s in here but I can’t find it

nvm, found it!

 

[LotsaLatte]

Yes from the videos perspective the check out is to the right of the doors

Thank you! I thought it probably was.

I Called it when I first saw the video!!! The guy behind her and how I noticed his body language, how he stopped and stood there!! I got a hinky feeling right away.

If you look at the video of Aniah you can see a yellow “caution” sign near the door. The pic of the POI shows the same sign. It appears he’s leaving the store. Does anyone think this is the same person seen in the video of Aniah?

Guys in their teens and 20s, it's mostly an African American thing, drive with the seats pulled low and back. It's a way to be cool and also a way to kind of hide from the popo or rival gang bangers, I'm sure that's where it originated, but it's become kind of the norm for young black guys in urban areas.

Yep, I’m increasingly convinced that’s the guy by the door in the video of her. It does look like he’s leaving, which makes me think he waited in the parking lot and either spoke with her or just followed her. After that it’s a total guess, but I still have trouble figuring out where something happens between the gas station and home, and how she gets hurt in her own car. And those Snapchat messages still really bother me. So many questions.

Edited to say it seems some do this is the same guy. Does he appear to be wearing some sort of man bag fanny pack?

Could you see anything more than below the knee to the feet?

 

[tabitha111]

My guess is the DNA evidence was a dead end, therefore the photo release. MOO

No, but as a woman who pays attention to this kind of thing...the very first time I viewed the video, I focused on the guy behind her, the way he stopped, his body language at that moment was off..he was watching her. I posted that on here that day it came out, I hope the clerk remembered something helpful. MO O

The perp apparently does not have anything in the DNA databank or they didn’t find any. I’d probably think they found some though.

I have been following since Thread 1 and I remember you pointing this out. It was my first thought when I saw they released an article with pictures of POI.

What does police having people pulled over have to do with this case? Police have people pulled over all around the world right now.

Increased calls to LE due to sightings of similar vehicles, moo, as well as intense LE focus searching for the vehicle and POI.

We’ve seen this in previous cases where they pull over all similar vehicles.

Not sure how much you know about Auburn, but, there's not a whole lot of activity like that on the norm here, especially on that road at that time of day. It wasn't a speed trap. Maybe it had nothing to do with Aniah, but, that silver sedan that was pulled over sure could have been a town car.

I have zero doubt every similar vehicle in the area is being pulled over, moo. This would be SP with any BOLO, and actually the main purpose, for people to call in sightings of similar vehicles, as well as LE look for matching vehicles.

@sillybilly @Tricia since Aniah's friend Summer's twitter account has been shown in the media (a tweet of hers was in the news regarding Aniah) are we allowed to discuss this particular account? I know the basic rules are if they aren't a POI then you can't use their social media but what if it's someone close to the victim whose account has been shown in the news? Are we only supposed to discuss the specific tweet shown or can we discuss other tweets as well? I don't know if anyone else is curious about this same thing or not but I just thought would be a good clarification to have!

Thanks for asking WillenFan, and sorry this took so long to get back to you. Members may only discuss the social media tweets that are in MSM. So no sleuthing of the friend's original social media.

Thank you! And no problem on the wait time in response. I know and understand you guys are busy bees with other threads.

Hoodie he is wearing is similar to this. You can see the Vans logo in his photo. Vans is a shoe brand.

I keep checking local news thinking any minute that we’ll hear LE has located the POI. SM land is alive and well with rumors of who the POI might be, but I pray it isn’t long before he’s actually identified and questioned.
