Sinner Question

And why didn't Marin get farther away after snatching Julian? I was wondering this thinking, if it was me, and I just snatched a kid, I'd get as far away as possible. At 50 mph, 8 hours of driving would put me 400 miles away. But when the van was found, it must have been just outside of Keller. It couldn't have been sitting there long before it was located as Marin and Julian saw the first police officer who found it. I guess this could have been pretty far from Keller, I didn't take notice to whether the first police officer was from the Keller police dept. But Heather would be getting pretty far outside her jurisdiction if that were the case. Wish I could go back and see that scene again to see if it was Keller police that found the van. Does anyone know? If they were still close to Keller, it could be because she was meeting someone there with Julian. But why would she have originally been having him brought to Niagara Falls?

Ok. I didn't see the very beginning of the first episode but the spoiler would be from episode 7. I'll give everyone a chance to see it before asking the second question but it is basically the same. If you are kidnapping someone, wouldn't you try to get as far away as possible.

Here's something that I am trying to figure out. The murders of Jim and Bess took place in a motel in Keller. Mosswood is on the edge of Keller. Why didn't they take Julian farther away before stopping for the night? I know if I was kidnapping someone, I would get as far away as possible before stopping. Was this answered? Did they have car trouble? This question comes up later too but I don't want to reveal a spoiler.
