englishleigh said:I really pray this was just an accident, but they aren't saying that. I don't know if she was found along the roadway or not, I just heard them say she was found closer to the car than to the gas station she was trying to reach, and I don't think the gas station was terribly far. I would think she must have been off the immediate roadway or they wuld have found her much sooner than this.
Janet said:If it turns out that she was murdered then someone must have been there almost immediately after she ran out of gas and called her mom to let her know she's going to the gas station. If that's the case I hope they check her gas tank to make sure that nobody tampered with it and knew she would run out. Are there really that many nuts out there that you can't even step out of your car for a minute before one spots you?
englishleigh said:I hate to even ask this, but the boyfriend has been cleared, correct?
Scandi, I agree it was likely foul play. I guess I am just sick of murders of beautiful young girls and women and want to think it could be something else!! I guess someone who was intoxicated and hit her might not report it or even realize they'd hit someone, but you're right, unfortunately...this will turn out to be a murder. :banghead: :banghead:
scandi said:Janet, I did read the car was verified to be out of gas and that she was found closer to the car than the gas station.
That tells me she was well on her jaunt to the station when she was stopped from proceeding. They have been searching that area for what, a week?
Suddenly she is found, which means some searcher took a couple of different steps to the left or the right and something caught their eye.
It had to be good karma that she was found since they had been over all of that area. I heard just now her family is taking it very hard. So tough. They knew there would be the possibility, but to actually face it when given the news, well God love them. That is all I can say. So tough. I watched both Dru and Brooke's parents and felt their agony. It is true pain in the worst sense of the word.

Janet said:I just read the links to the news. They said that no personal belongings were found with the body. Where is her pocketbook or at least her license? Are they in the car? It looks like her drive home was about 50 miles and she was only about 10 miles into it. She should have know she couldn't make it home 40 more miles without gas.
SewingDeb said:From one of the Fox News links above:
Crowder's car was found earlier this week along U.S. 65 south of Dumas, with her purse and cell phone gone but a softball bat and glove left behind.
It's a shame she didn't fill up with gas before starting her drive home. If she had, we might not be reading about her.
Bobbisangel said:I wonder if Casey forgot to get gas the night before and thought she had enough to make it to the gas station on the highway. It could be that nothing was open around her boyfriends place that early in the morning. If she was only 10 miles into her drive I wonder why she didn't have her boyfriend bring her some gas or go get it for her at the gas station?
englishleigh said:I thought I heard something earlier this week about her telling her mom on the phone that she was going to phone the boyfriend's brother who lived nearby and get him to bring her some gas or go with her to get the gas...the brother said he never heard from her.
scandi said:That's right! We need to find out where he was when she called him and how long it would take him to get there.
That could be a distinct possibility, and I bet the coppers are working on that as we speak! YaYa

My local newspaper, The Jonesboro Sun, had an article a couple of days ago about Casey. I looked for the article on the online version, but it wasn't there. In the paper version, it stated that Casey called her boyfriend's brother Sunday morning when she ran out of gas, but he didn't get the message until 1 a.m. Monday. He then called her mother to see if she had gotten gas.englishleigh said:I thought I heard something earlier this week about her telling her mom on the phone that she was going to phone the boyfriend's brother who lived nearby and get him to bring her some gas or go with her to get the gas...the brother said he never heard from her.
Saavy said:This case brings to mind Amanda Tusing, 19, whose body was found in June 2000. She had left her boyfriend's house headed home to her parents about 11:30 p.m. When she didn't phone her boyfriend saying she had arrived, he called her parents and they all set out to find her. The boyfriend found her car about 10 miles from his house on the highway, but her body was not found until four days later. I think her body was found less than a mile from her car, face down in a ditch. This case has never been solved.
I believe she was found in/near to Dell, AR. Dell is about 3 hours from Pine Bluff. Alittle over 200 miles.Janet said:Where was that - Anywhere near this area ?
