I think it sounds more like North Carolina where she was living before she moved to Florida. But its so garbled I don't think there is anyway to say for sure what she said. Just another piece we will never know the answer to.
Yeah, probably true. Didn't sound like NORTH Carolina to me. Maybe "Carolina" although I don't think people ever refer to the state of NC as Carolina. (NC & SC are The Carolinas, of course.) But if she did say that I wonder why. NC is great but she still felt like she was from here years later because she'd once lived here 18 months? Odd. But so was telling the cops she was a nutritionist.
