Very good podcast. Thanks for that. What struck me is how adamant the friends were that ML wouldn't meet someone in the park at that hour, and their theories were that it was a meeting ML didn't want to have. I understand their disbelief, but sometimes we just don't know EVERYTHING about our friends. If the Lyft driver is to be believed, and why not, he reported that she didn't seem upset or nervous or reluctant to meet this person. I still think AA was someone she "knew," someone she had perhaps even met in person before. She just didn't tell her friends about him. Also, if Shaking Man is to be believed, she DID tell him about AA. So, maybe she was comfortable sharing with SM what she wasn't comfortable sharing with her friends. I can understand that. Also, even though ML had lots of friends in SLC, it sounds like she was a little adrift from them. She was rooming with people she didn't know before because she needed a place to live, so her previous roommates must've graduated and/or moved away or got jobs and their own apartments. She was a 5th year + senior, so most of her friends her age and a year younger would've graduated and be working at full-time jobs, just as these two young women were.
