I think he hitched a ride. Assuming he had on a topcoat, he took it off and laid it on the seat and held onto his briefcase. They pulled off the road (Route 9)...cut the lights and mugged and robbed him. When he recovered a bit...he walked north along the highway.
If I was LE, I'd walk the highway.
It's 6 miles from the Pharmacy to Wilmington. Unless he was a regular Marathon runner, no way did he make it in 40 minutes....6.6 min/mile...and he wasn't out of breath in the video. I'm betting he walked less than 2 miles.
Super busy day for me so fr time is small now, shouldn’t even be on here. Didn’t he say someone took it? Did he say exactly ‘mugged’? I can’t remember.
