Weird and it might be nothing, but in an interview this morning on KTDY, the last person to see her alive was being interviewed and towards the end said pretty much the same thing except, "what a special person she<b> was</b>."
I know there have to be exceptions, but I have heard referring to a missing person in the past tense is not a good thing.
I hope I heard wrong and they have a recording of the interview.

Chances are if/when they do find her she will not be alive. That's just the breaks with this situation.

Yeah things like this rarely end well.
Have they even found her bike?

Check the carneys. I know its "profiling" but there is a bit of coincidence, last year, a homeless person was found dead behind the shop rite right there.

I thought it odd to hear "was" just 42 hours after he found out she was missing.

Hopefully that person is the prime suspect...using Occam's Razor.
Re: help!! missing person in lafayette
I find it a bit strange that she was tired and wanting to go home and the guy on the radio took her to taco bell but not home after admitting he lived in a sketchy part of town. He mentioned her route which seems odd that he knew exactly what route she would have ridden. Why she would ride all the way to Johnston street to get back to congress if she was tired? I understand Ryan st and the stretch of congress to university is rough but why not hit up souvenir gate? I just find the story odd. Prayers go out to the family. I hope this has a happy ending.
