[LurkingSleuther]

Secret Service analyzed data and conducted an analysis.

 

[Inthedetails]

From presser: internet searches before disappearance:
July 11: do you have to pay for amber alert
(my feed glitched out here)

 

[Gardenista]

Her searches OMG

 

[bestill]

Carlee, wtf...

 

[nikki80]

Do you have to pay for an Amber alert
How to take money from a register
Birmingham bus station
One way bus ticket from Birmingham to nashville
Movie: Taken

All of her internet searches… wow

 

[CHEL]

What did he say before the searches he won't be talking about?

 

[Ladyotm]

What was her end goal with this?So dumb.

Start a new life. With $107? She might as well have paid work back, faced the music and went on about her business. She probably still would have been able to be a nurse. Smh.

 

[lonetraveler]

From presser: traveled length of 6 football fields, telling 911 operator she was following the toddler

Fast walking little boy

 

[arielilane]

Web searches give it away every time. Moo

Playing the 911 call.
She bought cheezits and granola bars at Target.
Left work with a dark bathrobe and toilet paper (hidden?)
(Typing as I listen so excuse any mistakes)
Camera footage obtained and analyzed - data from her phone shows that she travelled 600 yards while on the phone with 911.
Food she picked up was still in the car, but items from Target and work were not.
All searches turned up empty.
Statement to detectives the night she vanished - man came out of the woods and picked her up, took her through the woods and he and another female kept her in an 18 wheeler, then eventually to a house?
Secret service analyzed her internet searches - "how to take money from a register w/out being caught", Birmingham bus station, one-way bus ticket from Bham to Nashville, search for movie "Taken", some Amber Alert information searches.
Have asked to interview her but have not been able to.
No reason to believe there is a threat to public safety related to this case.

 

[eimehc]

All I have to say is wow oh wow.

 

[LurkingSleuther]

Searches on Carlee's phone:

"how to take money from a register without being caught"

"maximum age of amber alert"

"birmingham bus"

"bus from birmingham to nashville on july 13"

Other searches that would be too personally revealing.

Concludes by saying they've determined there's no threat to public safety.

Hope they charge her with theft from her employment and she gets charged with a fake kidnapping.

 

[Gardenista]

Hoover PD is NOT playing. They have to be really mad.

 

[stormymama]

She has her parents snowed for sure.

 

[ilovewings]

Her searches OMG

She is what I thought she was--LMAO

 

[NeverPersonal]

I hope they're arresting her. I'm infuriated and it's funny at the same time because what insane lies, are you joking? She really thought anyone was gonna believe her??

"She's not ready to talk rn because of the trauma of the incident..."
The trauma must've been her stay at the Red Roof Inn because it's objectively the worst besides Quality Inn and Super 8 LOL

 

[iluvmua]

Start a new life. With $107? She might as well have paid work back, faced the music and went on about her business. She probably still would have been able to be a nurse. Smh.

Not anymore

 

[bestill]

She literally searched how to take money from a cash register. Dumb, dumb, dumb

Who doesn't love Cheez-Its. Wow, this is really sad.
