33A1, you have a place for us this night.
00:20
Here, one, people abandoned near Benton Street.
00:23
I had one party, usually I saw one party on the north side of that house running west, one party on the south side running west,
00:30
and then I lost them right to the mid-block between the two streets.
00:33
So if you want to start at that vehicle, we're way west down.
00:36
Again, we haven't seen anyone go north, so I have a feeling they are going to be west and south of that vehicle in between the two streets.
00:48
Harrison Street, so you're directly west of that vehicle.
00:51
That's probably a good place to start.
00:53
And again, I didn't see them break Harrison Street to the west, so they're going to be in those backyards.
01:02
On your vehicle, this house was abandoned.

I had a white seal on Hellier's set, wearing all white.
05:16
Leave that way the driver.
05:17
She was on the south side of the near Benton Street running towards near road, so she might have made it south of that near location.
05:24
I had a male wearing a white t-shirt who was on the north side of near location.
05:27
He cut left on the north side but then doubled back.
05:30
So he might have gone through that back door on the northwest corner of near location.
