No - that area you are referring to was the Lenox area, where he killed the customs agent and left with his truck. The area I'm asking about is the apartment complex in Duluth, where he was apprehended. It is quite a way from Lenox and off the path. Besides, Nichols lived long enough in Atlanta and not really that far from Lenox to know where it is. We are not being told why he went to those apartments - there was a specific reason, had to be. They are nowhere near anywhere else he was and if he was merely running, he would have went up the interstate. Again, I think he knew that woman or someone there anyway.
One possibility:
Satellite Blvd is very close to 85N and follows 85 up to Buford. It is not hard to get from the Lenox Square area, using any number of routes (interstate or backroads) especially late at night when there is no traffic.
If he was going up 85, it would be nothing to get to Satellite. I think part of Satellite is what was the old access road way back when.
I noticed from the video the apartments looked ungated and more or less sat away from the main road. He could have ended up there because it offered the best cover for him.
Since we moved here in 1968 (I was 14 & thought my life was over!! LOL!) 85N is the only way we have ever driven North either to Richmond or to DC. It is possible his original intent was to get to Baltimore. If I wanted to get out of town fast, I would head up 85 because that is my frame of reference.
Just throwing it out there....
