I'm sure they downloaded his phone right away, which is much faster than getting data from a cell phone provider (which they also would have requested). I think there's a good chance that's helped them focus their search.
It scares to to think about what they know we dont. They do know something you can tell.
That particular mugshot was from an arrest in late September of last year, so the cuts on his head can't factor in here.
Me too
Agreed. Had his plan succeeded, I’m sure he would have participated in news interviews and searches, and speculations about where mother and daughter could be.
But I expect this will be a case of how far downstream has the current carried her body. I am so so sad for this little girl.
The suspect may have been counting on these circumstances as well.There's gators in that lake, big gators, they pulled a 14 footer out of there a few years ago.
Probably. I think unfortunately and tragically that they know who and what they’re actually dealing with.

She [neighbor, DK] says she saw Audrii walk to the bus stop every morning around 7 a.m. She says her dog alerts them, Audrii walks by, and that Audrii stops to pet the dog daily. She says the last time this happened was Wednesday afternoon.
"That would have been Valentine's Day. She was walking by, giving my dog love, and I told her happy Valentine's Day," she said.
She says Thursday morning was different. Audrii never walked by.
The walk from Audrii's home to the bus stop is just over half a mile. DK's home is at about the halfway point.

That little bit stood out to me as really sad too.
