One of the many insinuations against Terri has to do with her parking at the two Fred Meyer stores she visited, the first one ca 9:00-9:15, the other ca 9:30-10:00. Here's a passage from the Rebecca Morris book Boy Missing:
From the same book:
So the implication is that Terri parked far away to prevent people and cameras from seeing what was inside the truck - Kyron, one would assume.
Back on August 11th 2010, the police released a
flier with a set of images of a truck in various parking lots. A
websleuther discovered embedded text to the two images from the Fred Meyer stores:
So I was curious just how far away these locations were from the store. I lined up the photos using Google Maps Street View as best as I could and marked the spots where Terri parked according to MCSO. First Fred Meyer at Imbrie/Cornelius Pass:

Next we have Fred Meyer at Walker Road:

I must say neither position is extremely distant to me, certainly not "as far from the stores' front doors as possible". There are many spots further away in both cases, especially Imbrie. Also, even with only half-full lots (as in my screenshots) you can see in the images that the areas where Terri parked are far from "deserted". Both places strike me as exactly the place you would park if you didn't want to be right in the thick of it, but also not too far away from the doors.
I think this can be chalked up to exaggeration.
Another interesting bit is that at both places, but Imbrie in particular, the distance would not shield the car from insight as customers could and would drive by on their way in and out. If a living Kyron was in the truck he would easily have been spotted when Terri and the baby were in the stores.
A dead Kyron in the truck comes with its own problems, including the fact that the police went over the truck and found nothing.
