I am throwing no shade on the driver or Lyft who are said to have been fully cooperative with Lyft.
I just want to say I know for a fact there are apps that can throw the GPS or play with it in Lyft, Uber, for food delivery drivers, etc. Often a driver needs to be near the mall, the bars, etc. to get the most traffic or fare options because fares are offered to those in the vicinity. Yet they want to be home for instance, not sitting in their car alone hoping for fares. They use this app that can be found quite easily to mess with it and show they are, for instance, at the mall, when they are really home.
If you ever have a ride scheduled that you watch driving along on the little map/your phone screen and you are waiting for them, but it seems to take awhile to start out on the drive to begin with, then seems to hang, the little car on the screen seems to get stuck for seconds here, then seconds there, etc. then a minute there, then the app hangs... Yep.
When all is said and done if you try to figure out why it took 1/2 hour for the driver to get there in an at most 5 minute trip, now you know why. Again, I know this is a fact, not because I have used it but I know of it through someone else. I also have had it happen and we knew that was what the driver did. He should have been in total sight per the map (was not) and it took him 10 minutes to come the last half block a few houses down--he was not there is why, he was a few miles away yet playing catch up.
In other words, time can be fudged with this app that messes with the company GPS etc. I guess. It allows the driver's location to show otherwise.
I am not saying that happened here, but that there are such ways of throwing things off. I am sure though they have checked this and are likely aware of such things--like if his next fare was ten minutes away, did he get to the next fare in about ten minutes after KL's payment was processed? At that time of night, I doubt heavy traffic would be an issue.
I personally do not think it is the ride/driver if she is the one who actually had this destination entered and was not going home. I think it is more likely something due to where she was going and who she was meeting, seeing or what she was doing there.
Jmo. Longer than I intended. Sorry. I also think since it was said the driver and Lyft were cooperative, the car was probably volunteered to be searched and checked--just a guess though.
