Yes, these 2017 videos are considerably more interesting now that I've been there and know what I'm looking at. I strongly recommend freeze framing this video at 11:19 and again at 11:30. It is the same helicopter search video of February 14th, merely with the freeze sections removed. The video opens up larger if the title atop is clicked toward direct YouTube view. That also removes some graphic interference below:
That viewpoint is from the back of the bridge. At 11:19 you can see the bridge at left. The bodies location is basically perpendicular from the end of the bridge. So toward the bottom left of the screen at 11:19 but perhaps 15% inward and upward.
You can see what Bridge Guy is dealing with there. He is already on the east (right) side of Deer Creek. He is within the forest and can ascend toward the cemetery, not too far away. That is the manicured area at lower right on the screen. County Road 300 is right there, which he can take in either direction. If he goes left it is toward the drop off point and eventually reaches State Road 25 near top of the screen for an easy 60 mph getaway either east or west.
I would say parking near the cemetery is the single most logical plan for him. I'm not sure we have a report of a vehicle in that area. But again, given how low the population is and how few people are in a given spot at a given time, I'm not sure a lack of sighting means much of anything.
Preferred theory is that he parked near State Road 25 and the abandoned building. But from 11:19 freeze frame you can see that is way up yonder, and basically just off the screen to the top right. Barely this side of the highway and around the corner.
That's quite the hike, whether he remains with the forest partially or traipses in the open alongside County Road 300.
Lots of video in that section is good, including close ups of the cemetery.
Now fast forward to 11:30 freeze frame. The bodies are across the creek at right, almost exactly center screen (left to right) and maybe 40% upwards from bottom of screen. That open field at lower left center alongside the creek is the private home immediately beyond the bridge, the Sanders residence. I took photos from behind the bridge demonstrating that Abby and Libby could have bolted into the open lawn. I estimated 150 yards to the house itself. I think that looks close to accurate. This view provides best evidence that the home is tucked alongside the edge of the property just above the creek. That's why the Reddit poster who has visited the Sanders home several times insists that Bridge Guy took enormous risks, since the bodies location was visible from the back of the home.
Note the activity at lower left, all the cars. That is likely another private home, with search party members and/or law enforcement vehicles parked and already prioritizing the end of the bridge area.
That view at 11:30 demonstrates that Bridge Guy had many options, but east toward the cemetery was most likely, followed IMO by west and through the corridor under the bridge. He can remain in tree cover for quite a while if he loops west and back under the bridge. If he goes south (toward camera) he's got plenty of residences to deal with, and north is back toward the trail intersection itself.
