Another possible discrepancy in mugging/"carving" story.
Now, I'm not a "twitterer" so there may very well be a logical explanation for this, BUT...

Ashley Todd was supposedly twittering last night while looking for an ATM. IF the following link is legitimate, then the time stamps show that she was talking about looking for an ATM at 12:45 am Thursday morning.

HOWEVER, the police report puts the crime at "just before 9:00 pm" on Wednesday night.

http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/17789356/detail.html
According to WTAE's news exchange partners the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Ashley Todd, of College Station, Texas, was using an ATM at Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street in Bloomfield just before 9 p.m. on Wednesday when a man approached her and put a knife to her throat.


So what gives here? Logical explanation for time stamp discrepancy that needs explaining to us clueless nontwitterers?

Or silly girl trying to give more legitimacy to a trumped up story after the fact?

4. Thought about that, like maybe it was set for Texas which is where she's from. But
that would be a few hours earlier than Pittsburgh time, not later.
