I'm glad you included "(unlikely)" after your phone comments. Nowadays, cell phones are an appendage, not a convenience...I feel absolutely awful when a) I've forgotten my phone or b) am without it for a few hours because it broke and I need to buy a new one. It's a very sad thing...feels like I've losjt my best friend.
I'm well-past 25...and believe-it-or-not, am not nearly as attached to my phone as the younger generation is...have you seen how fast they can text?? That is the way they communicate...rarely dial a number and actually speak...just text, text, text... Lol
I find it very interesting that her cell phone was left behind, no way it was deliberate! Forgotten? Maybe. It makes one think she just popped out for a few minutes....and hasn't gone far. (Just for the record...my cell phone is with me in the bathroom, the laundry room, the backyard and in my vehicle). I doubt she left it...I would forget the wallet before the cell phone...unless someone took it from her. Perhaps it was being monitored by JB...perhaps it was purposely put there to lead LE to believe that she would be right back? That phone would've been dead by the time she was declared missing. Wonder who was trying to get in touch with her over those five days? I would assume many of her friends tried to text her... friends for sure. If she realized she had forgotten it, all she had to do is go back home, use the keys she took to run in and scoop the phone and its charger. She was after all, expecting to hear about by he audition she just had! That phone was either there because someone took it from her as she was "leaving", and if so, I'm sure jB would have carried it with himself to work the next day in case she called. One day without her phone, he would certainly know she would be back for it when he was at work....wonder if she tried and couldn't find it...I wonder if she called it herselfu to see who may have it. Regardless, the fact it was left, or taken and left sitting there for five days is strange...why wait so long that it took family to discover her missed meetings caught them? He, before anyone would know this was not normal for her and should have alerted her family to her disappearance. IMO that phone was left where it was left to lend credibility to the idea that she would be rightback to which alludes to that appearance that she would be right back. I wonder if he answered any of what im sure would be a fair amount there! Im pretty sure he would be quite concerned after the first day, and should have been using it to contact her friends to alert them that she hasn't returned for it! My goodness! I'm sure it was the hub of her friend connections, family connections and work contacts. Very, very important to her not something purposelybleft behind without attempts to get it
I also wonder if she were afraid of someone and she ran out in what looks like a hurry. Working for the federal govt at 830 am does not mean he is shiney. Does he have or need to vouch for His actual whereabouts that night,? Has he proven that HE did not go out after her?
No one has reported seeing her that night, just JB himself did.
IMO the cell phone is key to this case
