On March 9, police reported that their person of interest (RL) was "missing" for a 9 hour period and asked for anyone who saw him and/or his vehicle during that time contact police. Here is a post where
@margarita25 thought through how far he could have traveled during that missing time frame:
IN - IN - Amiah Robertson, 8 months, Indianapolis, 15 Mar 2019 #2
Regarding the newly discovered baby, I haven't seen any information in the news about whether LE thinks the baby was recently placed at the location it was found or if it seemed to have been there for awhile.
Thanks
@sasha17 for digging that up. Interesting that the max range at 80mph estimated exactly at 360.
Here are the contents of that post:
“As far determine the maximum range of travel RL could have gone on March 9:
The absolute maximum round trip distance that RL could have traveled in 9 hours with no stops IF he was going 80 miles an hour on the freeway would be 360 miles if I calculated correctly.
(80mph x 4.5 hours each way)
Obviously the high speed variable of 80mph with no stops is conducive to a large (and impractical imo) buffer range so as to no way underestimate. So, if he did travel out of the area the actual distance would likely be less than this. One would then have to account for any time he took at the disposal site, which could be anything from zero (quick toss) vs. more time (burial, etc).
Again this is IF he even left the area of M/R. Another specific question I would have for LE is IF they believe he remained in that area for the full time range and what evidence do they have to confirm he was there, and when and for how long. They didn’t seem to want to elaborate on this in the PC, and I’m not sure exactly why.

More maximum distance estimates, again with no stops, at different speeds would look like this, again based on the 4.5 hours maximum time he would have had to travel there and back.
70 mph: 316 miles
60 mph: 270 miles
50 mph: 225 miles
40 mph: 180 miles
30 mph: 135 miles
Now for fun, I’m going to average the 5 above miles numbers, not using 80 mph as a variable as I find it unrealistic.
Average is 225 miles, 30-70 mph.
So a very rough estimation considering stops and accounting for approx 30 minutes for the disposal, I would say she would have to be around or under 200 miles at a maximum figure, if even that far, IF he even traveled out of the area, moo.
(I hope I did the math right on those, I think I did..if not oops as I’m out of editing time.)
