Wow what a real cluster of tragedies. At this point, one could imagine almost anything having happened.
Her friends say that she was trusting with strangers online and it does seem odd, in June, for cadaver dogs to have missed a body and then volunteers to find it just a couple days later. I have less faith in hounds than a lot of sleuths but that still seems like there's a real possibility of it having been recently moved.
On the other hand, 5am is an odd time to be meeting up with someone and it's odd that she didn't have the bag that she always carried with her. Reactivating a deactivated Facebook seems like something someone might do to post a suicide note but I haven't seen any indication of any posts offering clues or insights into her actions.
I was going to offer that, when I used ride sharing apps, Lyft was noticeably shadier than Uber and I wouldn't have counted on good identification or tracking of a Lyft but I just referenced a 2020 article and it sounds like these days safety is a top priority for them all. Presumably law enforcement knows exactly where she was dropped off at but it might have been a public space without archived cameras.
Hopefully there's a lot more evidence than we the public have because from the story so far it's very difficult to speculate if this is foul play or a very wrought girl both psychologically and physically running out of strength.
edit:
Some of the circumstances of this case continued to nag at me so I went back and took a look for myself at her Facebook. It looks like she had a mildy palsy that I believe she was self conscious about in the real world but she was able to take flattering selfies and get a lot of support from random people online (she had over 4k Facebook friends).
She was very active on there in April and then reportedly deactivated it right after. This is starting to be a bit speculative but that's the sort of thing that might happen when a person gets into an "online relationship" and their partner in it is jealous of that attention.
If reports are accurate that it was reactivated five days after she went missing I can see that having been encouraging but now that she's been found deceased it becomes troubling.
I also watched this news report for myself
Savannah Schneider still missing and the tone is quite concerning. I really just watched it for confirmation of her having "lost her father, mother and stepfather in the last two years" (quoted accurately from childhood friends interview) but the whole piece is concerning.
Her neighbor that it seems was sort of looking out for her says she broke their regular routine because she was "waiting for someone" and the way she describes what she saw in her security camera footage does not seem like a Lyft. The reporting on it being a Lyft says that info comes from friends' social media so it may not actually be accurate. The time also seems weird, did she usually go to walk her dog with Savannah before 5am?
Then the childhood friends comments were also concerning. I'd taken the trust in strangers online to mean mostly kept online and the Facebook tended to support that conclusion but the friends had a much more concerned time as if they were assuming she'd gone off with someone from online. Also all the interviews were conducted anonymously. Were they afraid of the type of people Savannah associated with?
I'm beginning to be concerned that there may have been a lot of suffering.
