This is article from the Australian mentions a couple of things I had missed.
Apologies if it has already been posted up thread. It talks about a friend of Karlies,
called Mel May, who lives in South Australia's Riverland (Renmark). She states
that Karlie and her lived together for a while in Adelaide after leaving Alice Springs.
First I had heard of her actually living anywhere other than Alice.
After she took her daughter, and left Alice Springs, saying she was going travelling, Karlie actually goes back and forth to Alice a few times. I know there is a theory on her being a drug runner, and fleeing a drug debt, but I believe there to be an innocent explanation for all this travelling.
I think she was just lost. She'd had a falling out with her family, and a few bad experiences in Alice Springs. (The married man, breaking up with her child's father etc) I think she just wanted to get out of Alice and do something with her life.
