Ah good morning everyone.
(modsnip)
Balboa mom. WELCOME! I love seeing people join and post on Maricela's thread. Everyone here is so valuable and we can never have enough brains
My theory on the side door is that it basically was an escape route. If someone came in the main door, she had a quick exit. Why she ran onto Lindley and not Jon's, I have no idea. Maybe she was not thinking, scared, panicked.
About the church. I am about 50/50 on that. Half thinking that she went in there to hide. Basically thinking of the church as a safe place...an innocent who thinks no bad guy would dare come into the House of God to kill/abduct her. The other half thinking she went in there to pray/confess/beg God....she either knew she was about to use or disappear. Not quite sure.
I am almost certain there was something, tho, in that dumpster. IMO it is vital to get in there and find what it is. I truly hope the police will investigate although imo they are dismissing that dog much the same as they would dismiss a psychic. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me like a good tip they are not following up on
