Cabbie said when he got there...20 minutes later, John was not there...
I looked at a map...A little confusing...There is a 9th Street and 273 and a Route 9 and 273...Without a second reference...who knows what happened...
Read this entire thread and all of the others. There are people who live in the area and have repeatedly said that the pharmacy/plaza where he went was a 10-15 minutes walk from his house. It is also on the route 15 bus line.
