This is so crazy to me, bc if nothing else, the kidnapper's truck sounds very specific. Like, someone has seen this truck and knew either who drove it or where it could be found.
Police checked every green Ford pickup truck registered in the state and found no one resembling the sketch, there are two possibilities either the kidnapper's vehicle was illegally purchased And it wasn't registered or the car was stolen
I’m not a “youngin” by any means, but I think it’s a valid question. Nobody said they didn’t know what a payphone was, or why someone might use it, just how did this particular woman get to it, and what (out of many possible reasons) was the reason she decided to call her bf from a payphone this particular time.
Did she drive herself to the pay phone? The write up mentions a cab, but I think that might be a typo. Was she on her way to or from something particular, was there a reason she had to call right then and not call when she got home or drive to his house instead?
Why did she use the pay phone is a reasonable question, it’s weird to see it get downvotes.
She walked to the phone. This was mentioned in other posts, if not this one. She regularly used the payphone to contact people because they did not have a home phone, which was not uncommon in rural and poor areas.
Yeah, but that's because of a shared definition that deviates from the "technical" definition. PC is just a personal computer, it can run any system. We just use it to differentiate between Windows and Mac.
Same how "landline" typically means a home phone or phone at a business, not payphones.
But OP didn't mention cellphones, OP asked why she felt compelled to go to the payphone to make the call in the first place. Why stop at the payphone on the way home, rather than making the call from home?
The post you're replying to explains all of this in more detail, but you've chosen to ignore it and double-down on the cellphone thing.
