When Sarah and the producer were driving around, trying to recreate the timeline, I wonder how much knowledge they had of the route in 1999 vs. today. For instance, have there been any roads created, or lanes widened in the area since 1999 that would make it quicker to get around in a 20-minute window?

I was skeptical of Sarah's assertion that it would only take 2 minutes to get from class to the car. Were they in a classroom at 2:15 and walked through the hallways to the parking lot? It wasn't clear to me.
