I know I heard the "five years ago" term from multiple news stories and even the Dr. Phil show. I'm just trying to figure out why family members would tell anyone she died 5 years ago when it's proven she died in 2005, 8 years ago.

"Erica Parsons, 15, was reported missing by her older brother on July 30, 2013, but he says the last time he saw her was on November 19, 2011. Erica’s adoptive parents, Sandy and Casey, say Erica isn’t missing — she went to live with her biological paternal grandmother, “Nan,” in December 2011. Police say there is no “Nan,” and Erica’s biological grandmother died five years ago. They say Erica’s parents are being uncooperative and that the information they’ve provided isn’t true. Sandy and Casey’s 20-year-old son told authorities that his sister isn’t missing — he claimed his parents killed her."

The Parsons say Erica went to live with Irene “Nan” Goodman, her paternal grandmother. Family members said that grandmother died about five years ago, and Carolyn Parons said on Facebook that Erica had no biological relatives in the Asheville area. Investigators said they have not been able to confirm the existence of "Nan."

Carolyn Parsons, Erica's biological mother, said on her Facebook page that Erica's biological grandmother has been dead for five years, Dr. Phil said.

I'm just trying to figure out how so many people have the death of Cloie Goodman off by 3 years.

if I am correct on the timing they would not have gotten a large tax credit if they had adopted her a year later they may have qualified for a tax credit that was not tied to actual expenses but for non special needs adoptions and special needs adoptions prior to 2001 your credit was no more then your expenses capped at 6000 dollars. I am not saying they didn't make money from the tax credit or that they didn't lie about their expenses but timing wise they did not adopt in a year when they could get more cash back then expenses and then only up to their stated tax. The child tax credit was also significantly lower then as well

This is from the 08/09/2013 Interview the Parsons gave:

http://www.acandyrose.com/2013-08-09-ParsonsMediaInterviewPt5.pdf

Casey Parsons: You have to understand about that. Along with that comes Medicaid, and I knew that was Erica's only way of going to the doctor if she became sick and needed to go to the doctor. So, if you cancel that too, you cancel her insurance that she has, and that was her only health insurance at all. And, I actually have the letter over there that tells about receiving that. And, there's two criterias for it- legal responsibility or financial responsibility.

Reporter: So, how did you use the money, then?

Casey Parsons: It- just put it in the bank, and just like we received it, and it's in- it's sitting in the bank. 'Cause-

Reporter: No one went to Irene, Nan?

Casey Parsons: No, we don't even know an address.

Casey Parsons: I still have her Medicaid card sitting here.

Reporter: How would she get-

Casey Parsons: If she needed that.

Reporter: - to the doctor?

Casey Parsons: She would have to call and do it. Now see, they did mention about treatment one time for her. And Nan, when we called her back, we went to see- we called to see how that went when she was at the ER, supposed to be, that night- um, she said she got her treated.

Reporter: This is up in Asheville?

Casey Parsons: Yes. And they- the detective said they called a hospital. The hospital me and my husband searched for and found was Mission's Hill, wasn't it? Hospital, that we assume that's where she went to. Um, but they won't give you any information over the phone. And, the detective said they was checking all that and checking it out.

Casey: They're lying. And he warned us that he would say stuff like that when we got our lawyer. They proved there was the other lady there, Strawberry. And, we also got told, um, Billy Goodman's mother is from Asheville and she resided in Mooresville. And, I don't know, I don't remember what they said her name was. And, the Strawberry lady has lived everywhere including also Mooresville. This is all comes from the detective. And, there is a Kelly and she does have kids. Just like the phone call with Billy at the police station when they called, he denied ever even having Erica as a kid- he never had a kid, he said. And he has three kids. We told them all everything so why they're saying that the factual thing- there was a Strawberry. That lady Strawberry, and a Kelly. I have no idea, because they know exactly who them people are. They've talked to them.

Logged in today to get my mind off the Rim Fire/impending evacuation but I'm 20+ pages behind. Can anyone give me a quick synopsis on wether they are close to finding out what really happened to EP? Any arrests yet? (Fingers crossed)

... if she qualified for SSI they could have been receiving monthly adoption subsidies plus an SSI check. They also would have gotten a large adoption tax credit when they adopted her and children adopted from foster care typically get a state medical card until they are 18. So basically they had to pay for nothing to care of Erica and I'm sure made money off of her. I'm actually surprised they didn't adopt more children. Especially ones with special needs.

From the first time I saw the Dr. Phil interview and Casey say Erica is find she is with Nan' I thought she was trying to make a truthful statement by omitting the truth of Erica being dead. I too thought Erica is with Nan = Erica is dead just like Nan. I also wondered if she was making statements like this thinking she could beat a lie detector test if she had to take one.

snip, snip, snipped... sorry if I mangled it...

This has bothered me all night. I woke up and read it again, it still bothers me.
Her tone implies, "See? Even the detective agrees that these people exist!"

tlcya said:

Is anyone sure what house Erica resided in? I have heard and read varied information. Did the Parsons live in THAT residence when Erica was last seen or was it a prior address?

Reason I ask is, I agree with the above. Casey is cagey with her lies - Erica is with bio gramma Nan. Truth, she is with her real bio gramma Dead.

Something that has stuck in my craw since the interview with the Parsons:

CP says something to the effect of she told LE they were welcome to search the yard, because Erica is not buried in THIS yard.

That statement struck me as a true lie as well. I think she is dead, I think she is buried somewhere, but I think CP was being truthful and a bit cocky when she said Erica was not buried in THAT yard.

I always thought that people adopted special needs children for unselfish reasons but if it's possible to make a profit by doing this then that is yet another way for evil people to exploit children - ugh.

I'm getting ready to make my will and I have no children but two pet birds that probably won't outlive me but it's possible that they could. I plan to see if I can put instructions in the will to find a good home for the birds first then after they are in the new adopted home the person finds out there is an account with some money in it to help pay for vet expenses. I don't want them to know about the money beforehand, I want them to want the birds for themselves. It won't be a huge amount of money but it would be enough to tempt some people to do the wrong thing. Vet bills are not cheap and so far they have not needed anything except checkups but I want them to be able to get vet care if they need it and they would need it more when they are older. I've thought about seeing if I can create an account at the vet just for that purpose. Am I nuts or does my thinking make sense?

Looking for the 23 Dr. Phil Show YouTube videos from the 8/20-21/2013 shows on Erica Parsons is a pain, and takes far too much needless time. So, for your convenience, here's a concise list.

Great list, Peeralot. I've taken the liberty of copying the post in its entirety to the media thread.
