My take on the timeline . . . The media reported within a day of Carly's death that the GBI "had autopsy results" but weren't yet releasing them. That is probably not *precisely* accurate. Within 24-48 hours, what they would have known was cause of death. The autopsy REPORT was probably...

I imagine it is get wrenching for y'all to have to wait that way. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know the waiting and repeated delays are frustrating. But, in the long run, a conviction has a better chance of sticking when the court does not rush a defendant. Any claim they may have of...

I agree that we are often collectively reluctant to believe that a certain type of person commits a certain type of crime. In this particular case I have not questioned LE because, yes, as we know I have a great deal of respect for this DA and confidence in his office. But it's not just that...

I haven't seen any indication one way or the other. Interesting question though. One might think that if another adult was home the dad may have yelled for them to call 911? Wouldn't seem to make sense for him to leave her there in the room while he went to call 911 if there was someone else...

One thing I noticed while re-reading the news articles last night is that there are two references made to Carly having been found hanging - but the majority of the reports simply say she was found "in her bed" with the cord "wrapped around her neck." One article says the body was found "near...

I am new to WS but have followed this case closely. By coincidence I went to dinner on the evening of Cooper's death at a restaurant in the shopping center where JRH pulled the car over (met friends there, having no idea what was happening there). The scene was chilling and has stayed with me...

With the COD being asphyxia it's a fair assumption that the blinds were the mechanism of death (either that or she was strangled and then set to look as though she was caught up in the blinds). Also important to remember that the autopsy reports and its conclusions are based not just on the...

I have only just started posting here but did want to point out one quick thing, regarding the discussion of whether this was potentially an accident. The GBI autopsy indicated homicide. To be fair, that's not the same thing as murder. But a homicide classification from the GBI specifically...

I can tell you are personally invested, and imagine it must be gut wrenching. I am sorry for all those that knew and loved this child. I feel sure (based on personal/professional experience) that justice is certain to be done in time, although I imagine that's little comfort to folks like you...

Fair point, I am a big fan of his. My reference to flight risk was just to say I don't imagine the parents would be anywhere they can't be found pretty quickly. Once an arrest is made defendants are obviously limited in mobility due to bond conditions, which is not to say that anyone arrested in...

GBI will almost always perform the autopsy of a child of this age who dies unexpectedly, with very few exceptions. Don't at all disagree that there's more here than meets the eye, but the GBI autopsy isn't cause for suspicion in and of itself, I don't think. It will certainly behoove LE in their...

The DA is more aggressive than he seems. He is methodical and exacting. He led the special victims unit of one of the most progressive counties in the state (in terms of LE/prosecution) and cut his teeth in Atlanta prosecuting major violent felonies. Don't mistake his silence for inaction - the...

I hope it wasn't her parents. Whoever it was, I know that the DA is a fierce advocate for children. His background is in special victims prosecution and he will certainly see that justice is done for sweet Carly. Until we know something more I continue to pray for her.
