   So how did she get back to Russia? If she did there would be some sort of   
   trail as in an airline ticket or security footage from an airport of her   
   boarding a plane. You need an ID/passport to board a plane. The last time I   
   bought an international airline ticket they asked for my passport number   
   just to make the reservation.   
      
   It's rather peculiar that she dissappeared without a trace and Reiser   
   decided to "throw away" the passenger seat of his car. Assuming one   
   believes his story that he likes to sleep in his car and this gave him more   
   room, why wouldn't he keep the passenger seat. Take it out and put it in   
   the garage so that it could be put back in one day if he ever needed to.   
   It's very unusual to remove a seat from the car and throw it away in a   
   remote dumpster several towns away.
