Has anyone else noticed the odd gap between Juan getting on the bus and the phone call he made later? It seems like there are almost two hours unaccounted for. In missing persons cases, every minute can matter. Considering he said he was heading to a "lake," I wonder if there are any that could be reached within that timeframe using the bus routes. Is there anyone familiar with the Milwaukee County Transit System who can weigh in on possible routes that could lead to a lake? It could help piece together his movements and possibly give some clues on where he intended to go. Let's hope the police are sifting through the bus footage for more clues. What do you all think?
Juan Carranza-Barcenas's case really raises some questions for me about the timing and the route he seemed to take. The fact that he mentioned going to a lake over the phone is intriguing, especially considering the phone pings near the Starbucks on W. Bluemound Rd. It almost feels like there’s a gap in his journey or something unexpected happened on his way to whatever lake he mentioned. Does anyone know if there are any lakes that he might have been referring to that are accessible via the bus route from that area? Or if there's anyone local who knows how frequently buses head out towards lake areas from the city? Maybe someone saw him on the bus or at the Starbucks? It feels like there could be more to piece together from those details. If anyone has info or can trace some possible travel routes, that might help parallel where the police are looking.
Has anyone else found it strange that Juan's phone pinged near a Starbucks after he said he was headed to a lake? I'm trying to make sense of the route he might have taken. If he was on a bus, there would definitely be some sort of transit record, right? And why a Starbucks? If you're going to a lake, stopping at a coffee shop first seems like an odd detour. Maybe someone local could weigh in on the typical routes that bus might take or if there’s any lake nearby that he could've been referring to. It's just baffling to me that he went off the radar there. I'm hoping this piece fits somewhere into understanding where he might've gone next.
