I think that "wonderful news" was provided by Condit when he finally came up with a plan and responded to all those pages.

This is my suspicion for why she left her apartment with no cell phone -- she had already talked with him, she didn't need her phone. No ID -- Gary's Rule. No money, because he either picked her up or she took a cab and gave cabbie a ten, keep the change; Gary would take care of the return trip home. She only took her keys, she needed them to get back into the building.

Exactly. How ironic that the very precautions Condit imposed turned out to be a "signature" for one of his rendezvous with her. These were the only occasions for which she would leave her apartment sans accoutrements!
