Has anyone else stumbled upon the unusual gap in the timeline surrounding Dottie Jo Stewart Cody's case? I find it really puzzling how there's such a significant difference in the accounts of her last sighting. Her friend saw her just before Christmas in 1999, yet the official records mark her last contact as April 18, 2000. That's nearly four months unaccounted for. This sort of discrepancy could potentially indicate something crucial. I'm curious if anyone has looked into why it took so long for her case to gain traction publicly and why it only got added to systems like NamUs in 2026. Makes me wonder if there was a clerical issue or if perhaps some parts of her story were known by specific community members but didn't make it to the official records until much later. This gap in time really bothers me, as it might hold clues to what really happened to her. Any investigative insights or knowledge about similar cases would be appreciated!
