I'm catching up with you guys. Can anyone confirm my suspicions that JC and BR were not named by LE as suspects until after the date of this FB post (Oct 17)??

Two posts from STM about searching as a recovery mission and the ping info.
The first search (October 4, led by local LE and FBI) started in the area of the local airport and ended in the Casscoe area due to phone pings (not sure who's phone). This was told to me by the SAR leader who led the second search and was a team leader in the first search. The second search (October 11) started one block from Cassie's home and visited many areas in and around Stuttgart. We all started along railroad tracks and in a wooded area within 2 blocks of her home. We were advised that if she was taken somewhere this close to the home that she very well could have been dismembered for easier transportation. We also searched some other areas on the edge of town and near reservoirs where BR reportedly likes to ride his bike. We searched a large rice hull dump area and coal ash dump site as well, where there would be little traffic besides the occasional semi or dump truck. We searched along the banks of reservoirs in the area, on the lookout for any rolled up blankets, tarp, etc and any recently dumped trash bags. There was also a group that searched a cemetery in town because a resident in the neighborhood called LE on BR because he seemed to be loitering and snooping around the area. The resident told LE that he had asked him how much traffic goes through there on a daily basis. This information came from the SAR leader. (I'm guessing I can say these things now that BR is definitely a suspect, right?)

We began our searches around the railroad tracks about 200 feet east and the woods that bordered those tracks behind RW Manufacturing (1506 S Wood Street). We were told that there was a good chance that if anything was done without using transportation that she would be in that area. We were also cautioned against the possibility of finding body parts and told to look for such evidence. (I hope I can say that here. We heard that several times from the man leading the search that is a regular at SAR.)
She was reported missing that Sunday night and officers came to her house the next morning to make a report. The only time that seems to be unaccounted for that evening was between approximately 6pm (when Hunter Snyder supposedly dropped her home) and 9:14pm (when Brandon called Tracey Snyder to ask if she was still with them). Then there was the text message at 7:15 (I think but may be wrong) that she may or may not have sent herself. However, she was first thought of as a runaway so I am not sure when the house or property was first searched and the time gap between.
I would really like to know who first brought up the possibility that she ran away...hopefully we will get a sense of that with the police report.
Trying to put myself in JC's shoes... She is/was a RSO and presumably dealt with child services in Oklahoma. That alone would make some people afraid to approach the police and afraid to trust them during the course of an investigation. It's not the most logical way to behave, but I'm sure she wouldn't be first person to act that way. If I didn't trust the police and felt like I was personally under attack whenever I did try to reach out, I could understand giving whatever info I had to anyone who was kind and seemed genuinely interested in looking for Cassie. It might not have been a good idea, but maybe that is her way of doing everything she can.
She is disabled. Is it possible that her disability includes something like depression or bipolar? It might explain some of her behavior & statements on camera.

I just found this. Read the comments. I guess it explains why the Help Find Cassie Compton page was deleted, or maybe it doesn't... I'd expect this out of children.
OMG That comment directed to Cassie's mom! The drama!https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1482761571998642&set=pb.100007944405545.-2207520000.1415655018.&type=3&theater

Told people that JC was on a "CERTAIN website"?? What website?? Is it material?? If so, I pray that the well meaning woman communicated it to LE pronto.
OMG That comment directed to Cassie's mom! The drama!
imho one of the saddest things to me, is out of 132 'friends' on her FB, not one has her missing flyer as a profile, and only one has even commented on her page that they 'love and miss you'
Chances are she may never read or see it, but it is the thought that counts. Capiche?
none of the teens/peer group have made little ribbons of her favorite color, no one has tied ribbons on the trees
Granted she wasn't currently in school, but geesh she wasn't invisible....was she?
it's like they have given up or something , and life rolls on
