Cody, get the queue. 41 to 42, now that I have an eyeball on this from the sky, it does look pretty expansive.

 That employee parking lot has basically a roadway where 15th Street or whatever it would be that goes all the way to Osprey, and it's wide open.

 And then there's a walkway from the UPS warehouse area over the employee parking lot.

 So he very well could have gone in a lot of different directions and easily gotten in the car or still be hiding.
