From the article:

The car eventually pulled into the narrow drive behind some bushes near the hospital's exit. Trujillo went inside to monitor the car on the hospital's security camera, which covers the entire parking lot on the west side of the hospital.
"He made an effort to nestle himself in there," Trujillo said. "He adjusted his vehicle several times. His lights would go off and on several times."
Trujillo, who has 17 1/2 years law enforcement experience, debated a few minutes before reporting the suspicious car to police.
Within a few minutes, another car pulled in, but because of the darkness, Trujillo couldn't see what kind of car it was or how many people were inside.
"They both interacted for 20 to 30 seconds," Trujillo said. "No one got out of the car."
About 1:05 a.m., Trujillo said both cars drove south on Virginia Street and turned east onto Fairfax before making U-turns and going back to Virginia Street. At Virginia Street, one of the cars drove north into the Smarts' neighborhood and the other car turned west onto 11th Avenue.
Trujillo said he called police again to tell them both cars had left, but that he never saw an officer until later in the morning when a detective asked for the hospital's surveillance tape.

The behavior certainly was suspicious.

Thanks for the information FRiend. No doubt that this was suspicious. Were I Mr. Trujillo working in an Emergency Room at that hour I would be very concerned. I'm VERY impressed that the cops didn't show up until the next morning!!

Ok - put on the tin foil hat (I can't help it). This could be the signal that he has the girl, then the other car comes up, gives info on where to collect the payoff or the next step, they both leave, do a u-turn - one back toward the Smart's neighborhood, the other to the next destination.

This brings up what is going on?

What does the father do for a living? Any money problems? The other relatives? Would there be any chance someone could allow her to be kidnapped and who knows what for money reasons or as a hold on the family to promote some action?
