I didn't mean to post that...I was totally focused on his route...(Ya see how that happens when you're his age. We get focused and we're always on missions.

He called a cab to go from Newcastle to Philadelphia. He called from a Plaza. Why didn't he call from home??

Sounds like MAYBE he had a couple of errands in the Plaza. Did he mail anything? Is there a Post Office there?

When the cabbie didn't show (and I don't believe the cabbie), John wanted to get to Wilmington according to the druggist...likely to the amtrak station. He was now an hour behind. By the time he got to Wilmington, he was almost two hours behind.

So why was John going to Philadelphia?

The Pharmacist didn't say what he was wearing or if he had a briefcase. Unforunately, it looks like his statement was tainted by the early info that got out.

Commuter trains (SEPTA) run between Wilmington and Philadelphia. Depending where he was going in Philadelphia, about an hour travel time - less than 45 miles distance. They run often during evening rush hour and beyond.

Amtrak uses the same rails, would take less time (not as many stops) but run far less frequently.
