Some snipped for space by me
Carlos Edwards deserves some kind of medal.
As well as his wife and the kid that chased him.
But he had neighbors, all around!! How did he restrain her while he was driving? How did he get her inside his home? Not like he had a garage with a door opener to pull the vehicle into. Very risky IMO.]
We know he had a gun and duct tape. I believe he pulled over and duct taped her and also threatened her with the gun.
Such a beautiful child.
I don't believe this was the monsters first time. He was prepared. Not his car, duct tape, bleach and boxes to hide her in. And he went to the laundromat to get rid of evidence.
I dread the coming weeks- how many students did he have access to, those poor kids. :banghead:
I, too, don't believe this is his first time. I'm left thinking did he kill others, too, or let them go with threats. I think he would have killed them.
I wonder if this is the vehicle that this guy usually drove. The title/registration may have been in his father's name, but the house was also jointly owned with his father.
I read in one of the many, many articles yesterday where the dad said that was the truck he (CMW) drove so I think it was purchased for him. The parents name is on the home as a co-owner. With that low of an income maybe the parents were helping him out as much as they could.
I haven't had a lot of time to get on here and haven't caught up on the first thread even, but I think I've read every article and watched every video out there locally. This community wanted Hailey found safe so bad.
I was on FB when the picture and story started coming out by KY3 (local TV station). Immediately I and everyone else on my feed started sharing this beautiful girls picture and asking others to share. It spread fast so for all the times I get mad about FB this is one thing I'm thankful for.
The witnesses did an outstanding job. Many wouldn't have thought to get that plate #. All three of these people are heroes in my book. God bless them!
I really hope this family can pull through this but cannot even begin to imagine how bad the nightmares will be, how many tears will fall, or how many times they'll think if only.
Thinking of the Owens family with love and prayers going up. We're here for you through it all.
May justice be swift and strong.
