Investigators reviewed surveillance video of her leaving each bar and, eventually, walking on Route 195. Although she wasn't always in view, police never saw her getting attacked, running or taking off her boots.

Her friend told investigators that when Himmel left Ted's, she was upset he "wasn't paying attention" to her, police said.

When Himmel talked to police again, she agreed that she was "moody" that night, the warrant states. She also told police that she was no longer sure that she had been sexually assaulted, it states; she may have been kicked.'
