I just got through rereading this thread and wanted to comment on a few things.. sorry, I got to the end of the thread so it will take too long to find the posts I would have wanted to quote, so I will have to paraphrase.
Some have mentioned skepticism about the way the media has changed their story about the call to 911 and the patrolman making contact with Amy that night. I tend to agree. The original reports, imo, were detailed enough that I'm not entirely convinced that there was a miscommunication.
The following article states:
Amy Ahonen, 38, disappeared on July 8. Her abandoned jeep was found on Highway 6 west of Golden, with her belongings still inside. Officials with the Colorado State Patrol said she called 911 asking for help with her vehicle that night.

This article goes so far as to say:
Fox 31 reports that the Colorado State Patrol made brief contact with Ahonen at around 10 p.m. Friday night after a driver saw her vehicle on the side of the highway.
Ahonen reportedly told the responding trooper that she didnt need any help, according to Colorado State Patrol spokesperson Eric Wynn.

I might be more accepting of a misunderstanding if it simply said she called 911 or that a trooper made contact with her, but if it were a miscommunication where did the other details (needed help with her car, driver that saw her vehicle and called police) come from? The only way I can think of that it makes sense if someone else called 911 from the same area and a trooper made contact with that person, then heard about Amy and assumed it was the same person he'd talked to when it actually wasn't.
Someone else asked about cameras and I noticed this article which states:
Investigators are also reviewing the traffic cameras at the corner of her condo complex to see if they can see Ahonen leaving in her Jeep and if she was alone or with someone.

But I never saw an update as to whether anything was found on the cameras.
I've also seen some posts stating that her hiking gear was left at home, but according to this article it was in the car:
Her car was found on the side of Highway 6 in Jefferson County, Colo., with her belongings in it, including the keys in the consul, her purse under the seat and her hiking backpack in the vehicle. The car was left unlocked.

While I am still skeptical of the explanation that the initial reports were wrong, one thing that makes me tend to believe that the initial reports were wrong is that it wouldn't make sense for her to say she didn't need help at 10pm when she was supposed to be at work at 6pm.
I also wonder about the supposed man that was seen with her at 3pm, was there anywhere to park nearby? How did he get there if there wasn't another vehicle? If the sighting is accurate (which I don't necessarily think it is), he would have had to get there in her vehicle, right?
