Knowing her fingernails were painted blue and black doesn't sound like a stranger was the last to see her

I agree and am very worried for this little girl. JMO

Yes they are but she was homeschooled.

Welcome to WS!

Thank you Tillicum! I've actually been around since Abby and Libby but I have always just been a reader and not a commenter.

Welcome to WS !!
Are all the children home schooled or just SC? How many are there for her to teach?

I hate the kid cases. This looks dark.

I have a bad feeling about this. And I wish the reporter on the TV station would cover up her cleavage.

I was very confused when I checked yesterday, I had no idea who that woman was, lol. That issue aside, she provided really good updates and as I understand, actually searched for Skylea.

Hopefully this will be the day Skylea is found.

10-year-old Skylea Carmack has been missing since Saturday. Today I talked with her biological mom (woman in the white tank top) about her desperate search to find her. She’s stopping cars on the street to hand them photos of Skylea.

I wonder if there is a reason there are not public searches? What have they discovered so far?

Maybe since the remaining children have been removed from her home and the stepmom has been released after questioning, she'll be able to hand out photos of Skylea too! So far I haven't seen her out there handing out flyers or searching. I mean since CPS removed the children so dad and stepmom can help search...

ETA That last sentence is according to Dad

I'm hopeful once the other children were removed, that they were able to help LE construct an informative timeline.

Nor shared any missing info on her fb page. I think you and I are sighing together Tillicum, as we have seen this scenario play out many times.

Just in case anyone reading your last sentence (tongue in cheek) thinks CPS provides free babysitting services, we don't believe it to be true

 

[SAMS]

Yea this is not looking good. Has stepmom been in the media pleading for her return or just mom? MOO

There have been a considerable number of coordinated searches all over Gas City including canoe searches of the river banks. Because it was a three day weekend, some folks have been non stop searching since Saturday evening. I was actually impressed with the community response to walking door to door and grid searching.

Just in case anyone reading your last sentence (tongue in cheek) thinks CPS provides free babysitting services, I'll clarify. A reporter made that comment on facebook live, and we don't believe it to be true

I edited my post to point out according to Dad.

Just want to point out that we're not looking at a small toddler who could be moved and 'hidden' easily especially if she wasn't cooperating IMO.

 

[AnnaGrace]

Wow! As of right now this case doesn't look at all like it'll have a good outcome. I'm very worried about this little girl. I'd love to be wrong. It has undertones of other cases we've followed and I don't like that feeling. I hope and pray that she's somewhere hiding and she's ok. We know the longer she is missing, the less likely that is. Please be ok, Skylea.

Father was at work, so stepmother was the last to see her.

That's all I'm going to say.
