You have a good argument about why she might have been jogging this time. I hadn't thought of that. However, how do we explain the dogs that traced her scent out the door to the corner, implying she got into a vehicle?

Easy, all dogs are democrats.

Good point. Maybe she was jogging back. Didn't Condidit have a "no cell phone" rule?

I posted info on search and cadaver dogs here on another thread. Of particular interest in reference to your question is the following excerpt:

Humans shed millions of microscopic skin cells (called rafts) on a continual basis. As a person moves along, these particles leave an invisible trail that is detectable to a dog. Some fall to the ground or catch on blades of grass, trees, or other obstacles, while some are carried along on air currents. The closer the dog is to the 'victim' the more concentrated this trail becomes.

In light of this, I would say, yes, she got in a car if the trail ended at the corner.
