Going back to the beginning, in light of this arrest...
Has it actually been established that she does in fact have her Minions blanket with her? Or at the very least that it's not in her room or in the house anywhere? All the missing posts I've seen say she MAY have it with her - but I may have missed something.
Second - she went missing sometime after midnight on the 27th (a Wednesday). Wed., Thur., Friday would have been school days not only for her but for DE as well. Not sure where I'm going with that, but surely LE is going to be checking his school/dorm.
katydid23 - I had the same initial impression but I'd already seen his other pics (there are tons of pics of this kid online - he was by all accounts, a real shining star) and just can't wrap my head around him going from academic/sports to junky pervert. I just can't figure that one at all.
It REALLY feels like something is missing here. Obviously Nicole, but there has to be WAY more to this story.
