As of right now, we can't account for the last 12 hours of John's life....but he must have left "someplace" where "someone" saw him and might have talked to him.
He wasn't walking home...It was 2 hours away and it was cold. Was he going for his car. A lot of these places hold a key for you. He might have simply been going to eat at a favorite place. Was their cheaper hotel/motel near the Amtrak??
Or was he going hunting for the creeps that robbed him the day before.
There's so many cameras all over the place, I'd say the police have "something". Maybe he even had DNA under his fingernails. Maybe they found a knife or gun in the landfill....naw...hoods love their toys...
