It seems to me the sheriffs department let stand the idea that they all left together
ETA Maybe I'm alone, but this seems like a powerful betrayal of the public trust
Here's an actual remark on the part of the sheriff concerning the departure of the family members the morning Sara disappeared:
The 18-year-old was last seen by her family before leaving their home on the 4000 block of Centerville Church Road at about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to Robeson County Sheriff Kenneth Sealey. Sealey said everything was fine when Graham left for work at Walmart in Pembroke, but that she never arrived.

Let me paraphrase: The sheriff the assures the public that Sara was seen by her family (implies multiple adult family members) leaving for work about 6:30 AM and that everything was fine when (she) Graham left. That is a powerful statement of reassurance to a worried public if it is true.

But then in the video posted above, a neighbor said that her father hadn't been living there.
hmmm...
We are referring to two different time frames and situations. My comments were directed at remarks the sheriff made concerning Sarah's departure having been seen by the family the morning of February 4.
First time I read that the back door of the van was open...http://www.wmbfnews.com/clip/11287406/stepmom-of-missing-robeson-co-teen-fired-from-sheriffs-office
The back hatch (of the van) was left open. The step-mom had been on leave prior to her termination.
Would you think the father could not be involved in a disappearance if he were not staying there at night?http://www.wmbfnews.com/story/28632650/stepmom-of-missing-robeson-co-teen-fired-from-sheriffs-office
But then in the video posted above, a neighbor said that her father hadn't been living there.

From the past 3-4 pages of MSM story & video links:
- Sara's stepmom was a deputy with the sheriff's office & a detective working on juvenile offender cases.
- She was fired almost 2 weeks ago
- She was already on leave from the department before being fired. We don't know for how long, or whether it was before or after the FBI got involved with this case.
- the department has said in separate stories that a) it was a 'personnel' matter and b) it was not related to Sara's disappearance.
- an unnamed source however said she IS considered a suspect by the FBI.
- some rampant rumors started circulating around town near the time the stepmom was fired that Sara had been found and was deceased.
- there is quite a history of corruption in this sheriff's office, and the stepmom worked there before, during and after this.
I wonder.....
Of course the disappearance could be related to family issues, jealousies, etc. but...
Could the stepmom be involved in something nefarious? Could Sara have discovered it? Could the stepmother have enlisted the help of a young person or persons that could have come in contact with her through her particular job duties AND with Sara through her job and/or peer group?
This would explain certain things with the timeline of the morning of the disappearance, the timeline and radio silence of the job issues, and possible motives.
Most of all, it feels so heartless, as nothing could be important enough to have taken her life. It seems very messed up, calculated, personal, timed, freaky in their own head way of doing things. Could this kind of perp ever trust anyone enough to let on?
Well FindHG, I think I agree with your position in your comments.
We want to see Sara. We want to greet Sara. We want Sara to be restored her family. It just seems wrong to think that may not happen. And we know of no reason why. Why? It's as a monster entered her life and they may haven taken it from her.
Who could do this and would they ever reveal it to anyone else? I've gone so far as to describe this potential perp as a psychopath; they rarely reveal it unless they see some benefit to themselves. So as you describe this potential perp in your last paragraph, yes it does seem that way.
I've heard nothing that would explain why anyone would cause Sara any harm. To think that someone may have done so makes me suspect heartless, cold, calculated behavior bent on satisfying itself at the expense of another. I suspect their motivation would have nothing at all to do with Sara. She would be simply the nearest victim.Thanks Han, but "what way?"
It could be as simple as something occurring during a drunken rage. An argument over who is wrong and who is right. Sara sticking up for someone she loved. Someone overreacting and making an irreversible action.
I stand my ground that Sara did not leave her house at 6:30 that morning. And if someone has the stamina to make the trek on foot from the van to their home, there's a pretty good chance Sara will be found at approximately the same distance as the van is from her own home.... but in the opposite direction.
As a side note, I wonder what Sara's the backyard looks like. Is there a portable shed, decking, etc?
Sealey fired Connie Graham from her job as a juvenile division detective effective last week after 23 years with the agency.
