I really don't think they are leaving the country. At all. I don't think they will even try. I think they're going to try to stay in one or more remote areas.

My theory is different but no more valid than yours.

Do you think they will be together long-term?

If so, how will they stay unnoticed long-term?

If not, how do you think they plan to end it?

The above is my opinion only.

I think they are laying low too and not on the move. I don't think this was a spur of the moment plan, believe he strategized and prepped for it.

Their travel plans read like the dreams of many teenage couples. I can see her believing in someday but he's 50! So yeah, I agree with you. They're going nowhere.

I may have misinterpreted this as "needing" a passport. :blushing:

However; ALL major cruise lines (Royal Caribbean, Carnival, Disney) STRONGLY recommend that all guests travel with a passport that is valid for at least six (6) months beyond the end of the cruise for the following reasons :

Guests may need to fly out of the United States to meet a ship at it's next available port if they missed an embarkation.
Guests that would need to fly home before the cruise ends due to medical, family, personal or business emergencies.
Involuntary disembarkation from a ship due to misconduct or other reasons
Guests who miss the scheduled ship's departure at a port of call.
You may be required to present a passport to enter the foreign ports that your cruise is visiting.

So true. The cruise i forgot mine on, i didn't even get off the ship or stuck very close to port as i didn't want to have to deal with any 'emergency' that could arise where i'd need it. I did get emailed copy of passport, BC and now keep multiple images of both on my cell and tablet. Some ports are more picky than others about certain things. Kinda scary in many ways... I always covered myself with a notarized letter regarding my daughers last name but NEVER was asked for it.... and she cruised every year too.... from 13 on.

toby mac's wife comes from Jamaica. Thomas' post with the image of the beach, Toby Mac lyrics, the sign she posted (no solicitors. trespassers will be killed and eaten with a skull and bones) looks like it has a pirate theme to it. could be just straws but maybe someone can connect anything.

 

[Kakidoll]

I know. I probably shouldn't have mentioned that.

But I keep thinking of that little 13-year-old girl last year who was abducted by her stepdad. Along with her baby. Who was given the same name as the stepdad. :gaah:

My heart still hurts for her. And that baby.

I totally lost keeping up with that one... was it a year ago already? What was the outcome?

 

[DatelineFan]

I wonder if he has a daughter that is close to Lizzy's age and appearance. If so, could he use his daughter's ID to get her out of the country?

I feel pretty sure that the FBI would have any of his kids flagged. Especially if he has a teenaged daughter.

 

[tnmedic]

In reading her instagram account, how in the world do girls like this think they're not attractive. She is absolutely beautiful and she posts things over and over about how she's ugly. Are schools really that bad now? I hope to God that I'm able to instill some self-esteem in my daughter so she doesn't have to feel beauty according to what others think.

I don't have the answers to these questions. I just don't think this was a sophisticated plan. Of course I could be wrong, but I really doubt it. It's certainly possible they could stay missing for a while if they're off the grid somewhere. But overall, I don't think whatever their plans are, are sustainable for a long period of time. I'm just hoping she is alive when she's found.

His daughters are 25 and 29. They don't resemble her either so I don't see them trying to use his kids ids.

I agree..this is like a fantasy,imo and I bet his home computer will have some clue on his mindset and intentions.I wouldn't be surprised if she changes her looks (hair style,color), we see he can change his...I also feel he won't harm her(anymore than he has emotionally)...

He may have taken a laptop with him that shows his research and plotting. All he has to do is shave beard and hair, he'll be unrecognized. She can do a total redo too.

 

[bodiddly]

Is there any evidence that this 15 year old girl might believe that there is a relationship here? I have known of instances that they leave home willingly because they believe they are safe. Does anyone have details of the disappearance? Did they leave from the school? Where was she and where was she supposed to be? If he was a school teacher, he has probably been grooming his victims.

This! A million thanks.
