How far is Hwy 6 from her house? Average walking speed is about 3 mph. SM has changed her story quite a few times, at first she just expanded on things, then changed it to fit new information. Still, that isn't proof of anything and it is not uncommon even if someone is being truthful.
I've been reading and watching videos about this case today and was thinking of the first part of SM's story. I thought it would have been a little unusual for SM to call Karlie to ask if she wanted a ride home at 9 PM on a Saturday night. At 11:00, yes.
I am pretty sure SM and Dad used K's cell phone to keep track of her whereabouts and SM realized she wasn't where she was supposed to be, called and may have said, "I'm coming to pick you up." K hit the street because she didn't want to have her SM show up and embarrass her. SM could easily find her while she had her cell phone, which is why K left it when she disappeared in the AM. I think SM took K home and there was no sleeping going on, whether it was due to K's "paranoia" or just an argument over K being where she wasn't supposed to be, being high and continued bad behavior. SM may have slept in K's room to keep an eye on her and in the AM may have thought the crisis had passed and fell asleep, giving K a chance to call her bf on SM's phone. I read that a call was made from SM's phone that morning but it was not released who the call was to. I'm saying maybe she used SM's phone because it was close by, but maybe SM called someone. Maybe K called or texted bf or someone else to come pick her up. It would be good to know what time that call was placed.
K then slipped on whatever pants and shoes she could grab without waking anyone and left the house, leaving the door cracked open so no one would hear it latch behind her.
We just won't know until she's found, but I am hoping she is just hiding out with friends. I'd like to know what K's bf and little brothers have to say, but we will probably never hear that.
