That would have been valuable here. However, the article says that the woman is "a triathlete and had spent nearly every day of the past nine years hiking in Fall Creek and other parts of Henry Cowell, which surround her home."

I'm also a hiker/runner and have my regular routes. Leaving a note of exactly where I will be running every time is just not going to happen. Even if I said I would do it, it still wouldn't happen in reality. Further, many times, I take a different path than I originally planned. The woman here was probably the same way.
