Apparently, the suitcase could be seen by people who were driving by on that road though, so my feeling is just that IF someone didn't want it to be found, they would have probably gone to a lot more effort to hide it..... that's all. I guess all we can really do is speculate.

"There was supposed to be a ground search scheduled that was postponed or canceled? http://m.nbc12.com/nbc12/pm_/content...id=od:oZdyuv93" I believe that particular search was called off by LE because the area that was going to be searched (near where Katelin's luggage was found) had already...

No, actually this is not the same mall that she was supposedly dropped off at. The mall that Katelin's ex-stepfather told LE that he dropped her off at is the Springfield Mall, in northern VA. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/katelin-akens-missing_us_56c78012e4b041136f16f6b7

Amber and I have talked about that, and she's going to have some some current photos added to their reports. (And fix the errors, too)

On Dec 8th, Amber did an interview with Brent Solomon and told him what Katelin might be wearing, because she's pretty sure that this was the only outerwear and the only shoes Katelin brought on the trip. (A dark gray fleece hoodie/sweatshirt and pink and gray Van's shoes.) There was also...

Beth Watson and I (Amber's mom) are running the new page. She started the group, and she made me an admin.

Thank you!! It just occurred to me that maybe THIS is WHY the clothes were removed from her luggage. So dogs wouldn't be able use them to follow her scent trail and track her!

I just wanted to say-- thank you everyone for the well wishes and the love. Thank you for being here and for all of your wonderful sleuthing and speculating. I've been having a hard time dealing with all of this. Mentally and emotionally it feels like I'm being pulled apart all over the...

-- Exactly. It doesn't feel like Christmas means anything to me this year AT ALL.

I'm very sure there were many reasons for LE to come out and say what they did in the way that they did... but I'm not convinced at all that she ran off...

^^^ Yes. Exactly. =(

Personally, I'm leaning toward- someone wanted that suitcase to be found.

So, I've gone round and round with the thing about Katelin's clothes being missing. At first I was thinking that maybe they were removed from the suitcase because if she disappeared herself voluntarily, maybe she was with someone who had the means to pay for her and she wouldn't be needing the...

<modsnip> Hi Claire! Just so we're all on the same page-- it was Saturday, not Friday. ;)

"Arriving to the airport 4 hours early for a flight is a bit odd, no?" Well, also considering the time factored in that it would take to go to the mall and take the Metro to the airport, too.... it seems unlikely to me that she would have been at the airport at that time.

Last "normal" text correspondence was 12:30.

I think it was a rolling tote with zippers.

Yes, this is what Amber has told me, and she also wrote it in the Find Katelin FB group.

I've considered this, too. It seems very likely that it could have been.
