A few more points:
- Karlie's best friend lived next door
- The street that Karlie was supposedly last seen walking down was the same route she took on weekdays to catch the school bus. This could explain why the cadaver dogs picked up Karlie's scent on the road but it just stopped at one point. The first witness, Richard Eddy, stated that the person he saw that morning was holding a piece of paper. Melissa told this to Karlie's mother Lindsay, who asked what that paper could have been. Melissa replied that Karlie was attending counseling sessions at school and that this paper might have been a paper for that which she (Karlie) was adamant about handing in. Lindsay responded unbelievingly, "On a Saturday morning?"
- According to Karlie's mother Lindsay, when Zac called her that morning, he told her Karlie was "gone" and even said, "At least you've got an alibi. You live in Nevada." When Lindsay tried to press him for more information, he became irritated and told her that his truck was "broken" and he had to go.
- In one of her Facebook Live videos in the days following Karlie's disappearance, Melissa claimed that she didn't take Karlie to the hospital because "she was high on marijuana, why would I?" During the Nancy Grace interview on October 27, 2018, Melissa and Karlie's father Zac said that they suspected that it might have been more than marijuana but they didn't know. It's interesting that when Grace asked Zac to describe what Karlie was doing to make him think that she was paranoid, but he couldn't give an answer, he ended up replying, "I don't know, she had been smoking marijuana. I don't know what was wrong with her." When they appeared on
Dr. Phil in March 2019, not only was Zac able to describe what he meant by paranoid much better, but both he and Melissa stated that they could tell right away that it wasn't just marijuana that was causing her to act that way. Yet they still didn't take her to the hospital?
A timeline of the text messages that Karlie's stepmother sent to Karlie's boyfriend in the early morning hours of October 13, 2018 (remember that Melissa claimed that she noticed Karlie was missing at 7:15 am after the other two witnesses came forward, and she claimed that she and Zac immediately started searching, and then returned to the house at 9:30 and that was when they called Karlie's mother Lindsay and reported her missing).
Melissa posted the first Facebook Live video on October 13, 2018, at 4:03 pm where she announced that Karlie was missing. In it, she said, "I don't think she's out in the desert. I think she could have been abducted or taken. Because we do live by a highway, it happens, and I'm bein' real." A few seconds later she said, "You can't do an
Amber Alert because she didn't leave in a car, and I don't have a physical description of a vehicle." If she didn't see Karlie leave, how would she know if Karlie didn't "leave" in a car? As noted earlier, she said that she and Zac began searching for Karlie after Melissa noticed she was missing at 7:15 am. The timeline of the last two witnesses places Karlie heading toward the highway and at the highway between 7:15 am and 7:30 am. Melissa drove her car, while Zac took his truck. Melissa even stated later, "How could I have missed her?" That's a good question, if either one of them drove down the road to the highway during that same period, how would they not have seen Karlie? Keep in mind, we know that Zac called Karlie's mom Lindsay at 9:30 am, and the first witness confirmed that Melissa did ask him that morning if he had seen Karlie, and his sighting of this person was at 6:30 am. This is why Melissa stated in the first Facebook Live and in this letter which I will post down below, that Karlie was last seen at 6:30, but she didn't say where she got that time from until the other witnesses came forward.
I apologize for it being a bit hard to read. Melissa posted this message to talk show host Sean Hannity (on his public Facebook page) at 9:13 pm on October 13, 2018, about five hours after she posted the first Facebook Live video. First of all, your stepdaughter has gone missing earlier that same day, and you've already called law enforcement, so why would you message a talk show host about it? Second, she states here that Karlie went for a walk and never returned, which is not what she said on the Live video, or what she has claimed since, that she woke up to find Karlie missing. Notice how the letter starts chatty and she introduces herself and mentions her husband (Karlie's father) before she even mentions that Karlie is missing and describes that as "some news". News? "We love our guns, land, rights, and freedom. But don't love our lawbreakers." Huh? Why would you even bring guns into the conversation and refer to lawbreakers as "our lawbreakers"? She doesn't come across as concerned but wants to create the impression that she is concerned, and this applies to her videos and interviews as well. Something is very wrong here.
