enough conclusive evidence is provided.

The Devil Made
Me Do It, a Kids Radio special presents a news story from an

few details are provided in regards to which state she is in
when she says it.

The Adventures in Odyssey
Passages book series sheds some light on Odyssey's location.
In the third book, Annison's Risk, a character named
Maggie reveals to Whit and Jack Allen that the parents of Wade
Mullens moved to Virginia. (page 7) However, since we base
Odyssey's location on the audio series along, this is not
conclusive evidence. Fortunately, the audio series confirms that
Odyssey is not in Virginia.
