I have to say that I was thinking the same thing @ why she would go down there

Besides, you can't live your life in fear of what may or may not happen.

"a neighbor (her home is on the Bayside and Queens Village border) sees her donning this unusual (to me) wardrobe."

It doesn't sound like Natasha leaving home in PJ's was the norm for her.

I hope we can gather more information to help find out what happened to Natasha Jugo. This just doesn't add up at all, imo.

Natasha Jugo, 31, was last seen leaving her home at about 4:30 a.m. Saturday, an NYPD police spokesman said. Huffington Post

Not 4pm.

Now 4:30am makes a bit more sense given her attire. Maybe she was heading out to meet someone and watch the sunrise? The comet PANSTARRS was passing over on the 17th but I'm not sure it would have been visible from LI at that hour. - 4:30am is a bit late for that though.

I saw something saying her car was found on Ocean Parkway then another saying a road near Gilgo Beach and yet another stating Ocean Walk.

My stupid question is how can you see footprints from any of those out to the beach? The only one that might be possible is if the car was on OP Eastbound lane. (south side - ocean side) With the other 2 it's kind of hard to see footprints on a paved roadway.

Has some sort of map been released? Footprints, belongings, car...etc.

MHO. She went to meet someone there. Possibly someone east of GB as this could have been a halfway point. I really wish someone could confirm car placement.

If you look at the initial article (http://www.newsday.com/long-island/n...qr=1&qr=1&qr=1), there's a picture of her car on the site. I don't know where exactly it is on the highway, but it's behind a big mound of construction dirt next to a grassy area that looks like it might be quite close to the shore.

Thank you. Newsday is blocked so I couldn't view that. Still can't make out if it's OP or a side road. Anyway - Parking behind that pile of dirt is a bit shady at 4:30/5am in my opinion.

*just re read it. Sounds like it was the OP. There are extensive mobile cameras mounted in that area since Sandy hit. Don't know if they are still there but they were a few months ago.

Was she working as an escort or a model? She appears very pretty in that pic.
If she was modeling, she could have received a call from a photographer that he had a sunrise shot. Obviously it would have been a sick ruse. There is a photographer in this mix of characters who included quite disturbing shots of dismembered women hidden in his videos. Someone posted the link here a while back. He is friends with the author of the OBdrifter book. Just puttin that out there.

Of all the newsreports I have read about the Natasha Jugo case, and I have read more or less every single one, only ONE single one have stated she left her home 4:30 AM insted of 4:30PM.
(today there may be more newsreports stating AM due to some other newspaper have copied the, what I suspect, incorrect/error AM info)

So IMO the correct day of time she left home was in the afternoon at 4:30 PM.

To be 100% sure maybe a local WS member could call the police and ask for the correct time and also the exact spot her car was found.

Just a thought. This current thread, afterall, is taking place in a private parking lot. Would it make sense, in the interest of possibly garnering more information, to start a public one?

Ocean Walk (where some of her possessions were found) is located in West Gilgo Beach. It is a residential area on the north side of OP. If her car was found in the eastbound lane of OP (south side of OP) then she had to cross OP to go north to Ocean Walk. (the bay side with no apparent sand) ?

Just a thought but think it's any possibility that she could of been abducted? Not sure if it was 430am or 430pm. But if it was 430am and if she had just ran to the store to get a few things maybe someone coursed there way into her car with her, made her drive there or something? Or in that matter drove anywhere did something to her...and then drove her car there and left it?

[PickleChris]

Another thing that is weird. They keep mentioning West Gilgo but Nassau County is in charge of the investigation?

The comments say there's construction on Ocean Parkway right now, and that's what the dirt is for. Yes, seeing the location of that car is the first thing that has made me think it might not be a straightforward suicide.

Definitely something to look into. I sort of gave up (because he isn't sluethable here) but he is certainly an interesting person (if not a POI) I am not able to look into his whereabouts until I get my internet right, but I encourage anyone who is interested to do so. On the down low!
