Citing credible tips received on Monday, police have been able to confirm that Magolon left her disabled car on the road and then hitchhiked to the intersection of Rosehill Street and East Ontario Street in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia.
That was on Friday.
Then, say police, Magolon was spotted near Kensington Avenue and Front Street on Saturday and on Kensington and Aramingo avenues on Sunday.
