She drove with him to stash the truck with her cell phone on her seat and then gave him a ride back to her apartment.

This is the most disturbing part. He was unarmed and she was in another car miles from her house. Yet she picked him up and took him back to where the weapons were at. Very strange ....

Not strange at all. She had established a rapport with him by that point. He obviously trusted her or he wouldn't have let her drive her own car so far. Why risk her life and her daughter's future just because she thought she could get away. She likely figured at that point that he wouldn't kill her. Plus, he was 6' something, 200 and some odd pounds. Even without a gun, he could have easily overpowered her. And how do you know she didn't think he may have had another gun in the blue truck? She could have assumed that. I would have.

She said She would do it! Perhaps honesty is really important to Her. Is this so hard to understand?
The Lady actually made a promise, and Her word was more important to Her, than who She gave it to.
I wish I could have found a Lady like this, instead of plowing through many years of lies.
If the end justifies the means, maybe You're a Liberal.

Whatever this gal had to do or say to stay alive was heroic -up until she helped Nichols move the dead INS agent's SUV.
The dynamics of this story changed when she did that.
And I like you, find that part of the story troubling.

From her interview in the AJC :

"Around 6:15 a.m., Nichols says that before sunrise he needs to move the truck he is accused of stealing from Wilhelm."

"She agrees to follow him in her car. He leaves the guns under her bed."

"As they drive, Smith thinks about calling 911 on her cellphone, but she decides against it.
She fears police will come and surround them.
There'd be a shootout."

Helping him move the agent's car did not help anyone find Nichols. It thwarted the police investigation.
She is in her car, with a cell phone, Nichols is on foot,apparently-yet, she feared that " they " would be involved in a shoot out.
Nichols stashed the guns under her bed,why would there be a shoot out ?
Certainly she would have told the 911 operators that he was unarmed.A stand off maybe, if the cops could have found his car and corraled him.
Once she sped off and called 911- if there had been a shoot out- it would seem that the only one in danger-would have been Nichols.
She brought him back to her house-where he was again in possession of his guns.
He could have snapped and killed her or left her alive and left the aptmnt, to kill more innocent people.
