I am very intrigued about TA's sister searching for the gun. Someone earlier mentioned Elephant Mountain Trail. I was doing some research about the general area when I remembered JA's story about buying a gun to go gold panning with a bunch of guys. I came across this picture.
The sign no longer exists as the place is almost abandoned now (only open 2 hours on Sat. mornings) but it got me to thinking. If JA left Mesa and followed Route 60 then Route 93 on her way towards Kingman, she would have passed by or near this place just south of Wickenburg, AZ. I don't know how long ago the sign disappeared but I do wonder if it was still there in 2008. Can someone from the area tell us if there is any kind of sign there now, and if not when did it disappear?

I do not for one minute believe that JA was in any kind of fog after she killed TA. I believe that she knows exactly where she threw the gun away as well as where she disposed of the other items. Pathological liars like JA usually have a small grain of truth in their stories. Given her stated reason for buying the 9mm gun (going gold panning) makes me wonder if she might have disposed of the gun used to kill TA somewhere near a gold mining or gold panning site such as the one I listed near Wickenburg, AZ because there seems to be a lot of undeveloped desert/land just north of that area going towards Kingman.
