Will they be pressing charges given she clearly fabricated this whole thing? False reporting is a crime right?

 

[Elliot_Alderson]

She literally searched how to take money from a cash register. Dumb, dumb, dumb

Obviously you use your hands!

Who doesn't love Cheez-Its. Wow, this is really sad.

I prefer the Hot & Spicy variety

Start a new life. With $107? She might as well have paid work back, faced the music and went on about her business. She probably still would have been able to be a nurse. Smh.

If we were still in a pandemic, the roll of toilet paper would fetch enough for a bus ticket, LOL.

Yikes

I follow a lot of these - this is a really good local police department, props to them for taking it so seriously and bringing in outside agencies so quickly. They did everything right in the investigation. Had this been someone really in danger I would want it to be in their hands.

So... why Nashville?

 

[arielilane]

Such a waste of resources which could have been used else where. Moo

I cannot believe Carlee Smollet. Smh she definitely has her parents fooled.

Yes it is

Does she have a history of being a liar/melodramatic/attn seeking like Sherri Pappini? This is very confusing considering on the video...she did exactly what the caller on her cell phone told the cops..There was no small child in that video....I don't think its a hoax..I think maybe she was exhausted/tired so bad she was seeing things..and she got lost. Still her wig was found on the road....There is someone that knows something. I didnt see another car or even another person on that video..she was alone. So there are so many dang questions about how it went down

There were a lot of cars going by her on that road.

 

[NeverPersonal]

I stepped away for like 15 minutes and everyone is talking about the Secret Service?

they were involved in investigating the case

 

[LurkingSleuther]

Not gonna lie, that press conference was really entertaining.

 

[gitana1]

Carlee, wtf...

So embarrassing.

There's no way she doesn't, in my opinion. Especially since LE said she showed no mental illness.

 

[CamilleBSP]

What did he say before the searches he won't be talking about?

They were personal and they won't divulge it.

 

[Inthedetails]

She intended to alert authorities and start a futile search if she was googling amber alerts.
