Ok so apologies to all cringing as they read my last few messages. I hadn't yet gone back through and read the entire thread. I was at work and wanted to get a few thoughts out and was hoping to bump Cassie up, maybe get more people to talk. I have now read the entire thread and watched the videos. I am even more disturbed by this case then I was before. I want to note a few things that may be nothing but something of note that may cause someone else to think of an idea.:thinking:
First- I have actually had a few cases here in NY where LE has told parents they won't file a missing report until 48 hours have passed. I haven't heard the 72, but have had a few of the 48 hours. Although, none of the cases I was working on was under 18. NOT that I think that in anyway excuses that statement. :gaah:
I now understand Mom had her phone taken from her & maybe it was a prepaid so you couldn't have transferred the number. Not as crazy as I once thought. I do wonder though if Cassie's is a prepaid and if they are keeping her bill up to speed and making sure she still has minutes in the event that she were to use it. I have worked 2 cases with families that have had prepaids and pings are easier to get than calls, text or data info. BUT it can be done. Considering the amount of time Cassie has been missing they should have by now a list of the last calls and text she made along with any data she was using if she had a phone with apps- was she playing a game, using an app like Kik to be undetected, snapchatting,etc. If it is universal, once you figure out who has the contract (much like some mortgages the cell companies sell them to each other) calls can take 2 weeks, text details 3 wks? I could be wrong, don't quote me on that please.
It really worries me that Mom & the bf have different stories and that Mom's has changed a few times. On top of that the bf uses past tense. That to me is unnerving! :tantrum:
Considering the thought that Cassie is 15 and not old enough to buy cigarettes, throw in that Mom called the bf "Butthead" not something more aggressive, and the fact that we aren't sure who sent the text around 7 or where the bf was until 9:15pm...I am wondering, what if the bf is the one that was buying the cigarettes? Or if Cassie was smoking if he was buying them for her? I also wonder other than the past charges what the BFF's Mom was referring to in regards to troubles at home. :thinking:
Also-someone noted too that her older friend changed his profile pic the day after she went missing. Did anyone notice he also put a status out asking who wanted to hang out before "I go back home."
There is more to the story that we aren't seeing here. Sorry to babble...:sigh::sigh:
