"The next day, her black and pink Juicy Couture purse turned up — with her underwear and San Jose Sharks jersey folded neatly inside."
The story goes- those clothes were not the clothes she was wearing when "abducted". Those were extra clothes she packed and was intending to wear later- a change of clothes. As if she was planning to meet someone, perhaps spend the night, and then change. Something along those lines.
It's a South Bay news story here in San Francisco, that's why I have heard the news reports.
