I just had the strangest thought... what if the "first responder" blue flashing light wasn't legit? Would LE release that info? If someone was listening to the police scanner and got there first... Highly unlikely, I know.

We actually had a weirdo doing that here many years ago. Anything is possible

Unlike the guy who did an video and was supposedly her brother (which was posted on WS too). Turns out he wasn't her brother and he deleted his video after he gained 70K TikTok subscribers.

Source info is buried somewhere in this 4 hr video

Was he not her brother?

 

[Gardenista]

Was he not her brother?

Lol nope!

 

[SandSage]

Was he not her brother?

"Brother in Christ" (After the fact).

 

[kittythehare]

Lol nope!

i saw it and i brought it here, luckily mods spotted it and deleted it. never copped and i couldn't find him afterwards..

"Brother in Christ" (After the fact).

Gotcha, thanks.

I skipped toward the end and apparently earlier in the show Gray checked a camera at another mile marker and it glitched at the exact same time as Carlee's.

that cannot be a coincidence.
We're talking the exact same time zone, right?
There is no reasonable explanation, is there?

help! My eyes! They can't stop rolling!

I don't know enough about how traffic cameras are set up to comment, if they're tied together in a series on either the hardware or software level it might be possible that one glitch could affect a whole row of them.

That's what I'm wondering; a system failure / surge or are they on a common server? Or? Too coincidental (unfortunately)... I was hopeful this was going to be "something". MOO

There's some info over in the scanner alerts #9 thread, around page 37 and 38.

Interesting. At 4:20 reporter says CR’s parents told her that they had cautioned their daughter about “ no matter how young a person, it could be a trap “.

Did that put the idea in her head?

Just because the FBI has jurisdiction to immediately investigate any disappearance or kidnapping doesn't mean they do. They generally need to be called in on a case.

Why wouldn't LE notify them. It's what the FBI does?
"The FBI has jurisdiction to immediately investigate any reported mysterious disappearance or kidnapping involving a child. Do not wait to report a missing child.
Call your local FBI field office or the closest international office. You can also contact the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST.
The FBI link doesn't say to call your local LE so they can then call the FBI.

If a child is missing and possibly kidnapped, but no interstate transportation is known, will the FBI begin an investigation?

Yes. The FBI will initiate a kidnapping investigation involving a missing child “of tender years,” even though there is no known interstate aspect. “Tender years” is generally defined as a child 12 years or younger. The FBI will monitor other kidnapping situations when there is no evidence of interstate travel, and it offers assistance from various entities including the FBI Laboratory.

I personally interpret this as she simply wasn’t responding to questions.

I’ve never heard of this before but it seems an urban myth — that someone would use a small child as bait for a woman etc. My parents once found a small child by the side of the road who was genuinely lost, got out of his back garden and miles from home in a rural area. I’ve never heard of it happening in a kidnap scenario.

For reasons... I believe we aren't allowed to discuss the content of police scanner recordings... even after the fact?

So, I'd say this. If anyone here is not familiar with the police scanner recording from that night... I would check it out.

Where do we find that???

 

[NeverPersonal]

Here's a map edit to show how far she went on the shoulder.

but then why add "but breathing"
to me that indicates unconscious but alive

I recall reading something about “she didn’t know” when asked about what happened. That fits with unresponsive according to the standard definition.

unresponsive

1. not reacting in a quick or positive way to something : 2. not reacting or…

unresponsive
adjective
