"The FBI announced Friday afternoon it still needs help from the public to put together a timeline of when Erica disappeared"
How come some articles say Erica disappeared in Nov 2011 and some say Dec 2011 ???

IF Casey really did find a way to give away Erica, this would probably be the way to do it, IMO. The timing of these networks just starting to be noticed and subsequently shut down seems to be awfully close to the timing of Erica's disappearance as well. There are some crazy similarities to Casey's story about "Nan" here and the above children being given away so easily. I am not really one for the theory that Erica was given away though & I do not believe she is still alive unfortunately. This is just pure speculation in the case that CP did actually give Erica away to *someone*.

Scary stuff right there. For a minute, I actually thought that this could be a possibility with Erica. Then I remember that Casey's sister was willing to take care of her if it was about being a burden. Only reason she was picked up from there was fear if getting in trouble for continuing to cash checks.
I think that is because the son, Jamie, claims to have last seen her in November....while Casey's rendition alleges to have had dropped her off with "Nan", on or about December 17th.
I've popped in & out here- has it ever come out the last person to actually have seen Erica? Besides anyone living in the family home? Has anyone said, yes, I absolutely saw her at ____ on such and such a day.....
While talking with WBTV on Monday, Carlyle Sherrill said that Casey and Sandy Parsons feel federal investigators are working to find their missing daughter, while local investigators are focusing on filing charges.
Sherrill says the Parsons have been more comfortable talking with federal investigators about the case.
The attorney told WBTV that while federal agents stopped an interview with adoptive mom, Casey Parsons, to tell Sherrill to remind Parsons that it is a crime to lie to the feds. They agreed to stop the interview and start again the next day.
While local investigators were conducting the execution of a search warrant on the Parsons' home, an investigator reportedly put Erica's adoptive father, Sandy, in the back of a police car and asked accusatory questions, Sherrill told WBTV on Monday.
After that, Sandy reportedly called the FBI and said he and Casey will only talk with federal investigators.
I wonder why they agreed to stop the interview, could that be considered an admission of guilt for lying to a federal agent? Interesting but very limited information here, what do you guys think?

Who writes this stuff?? That sentence makes NO sense? While federal agents.... While? While then what??
geesh must be a typo or was something else happening, hence the 'while'
or I am picky
I think they (CP & SP) know they are in deep pookie and hip waders ain't gonna help, nor are other prevarications.
I personally am not buying the been 'duped' stuff.
The family attorney says an interview with Erica's mom Casey that day suddenly stopped.
The Parsonses attorney says a FBI agent asked for a break, and then told him, not Casey, but referring to Casey that lying to a federal agent is a crime.
That brought the August 14 interview with Casey at the house during the 12-hour search to a halt.
Attorney Carlyle Sherrill told the FBI that Casey believed Erica was living with her biological grandmother, because that's who Casey thought she met and was introduced to Erica's biological mother Carolyn; if the facts weren't true, Sherrill says it's not because Casey was lying, but simply told federal agents what she'd been told.
assuming someone wanted to go to Asheville area from the home area where Erica is missing from, can any locals say if 70 would be a good alternate to the interstate, or is there a better, less traveled route?
CP seems so insistent that Erica is in Asheville, I find myself wondering IF she is...kind of like CP was trying to set the stage for Erica being found there...you know , by hunters, hikers and the like? ( and I don't mean Erica having fun riding horses either)
----IN MY OPINION----
That woman didn't sell, rent, lease or let anyone borrow Erica. A control freak isn't going to give anyone else control that easily.
/end my opinion
There are no good alternatives. You can take 70 through the foothills almost parallel to I-40 but you wouldn't even need to do that. Up the mountains, you really must take I-40. However, that doesn't matter. The drive from Mooresville to Asheville includes small cities and millions of acres of rural farmlands, forests, game lands, lakes, pastures, wilderness and beautiful Blueridge Mountains as interstates 77 and 40 pass right through.
Unfortunately, if an evil piece of #$*% wants to discard someone, there are plenty of rural quiet places to do it right off the interstates. After all, they scattered Zahra Baker through at least 3 counties at the base of the mountains where I-40 runs through that rural area on the way to Asheville and they still haven't found all of her.
