Just caught up (again) and wanted to add the following.
On page 12 of this thread several people asked about whether or not we know that AL or CL used their own phone to set the appointment. There was an article that was posted on page 40 of thread #3 by beaglebrd that states "
Authorities located Carters appointment book. But family members say the name and number of the potential buyer she was meeting Sept. 25 were fictitious." This is the title of the article and where it can be located: 2 very different paths.One a good Realtor; other a good parolee NIKKI WENTLING, CATHY FRYE AND RYAN MCGEENEY ARKANSAS DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE(I didn't link it because it is a pay per view site.) Good article: here is where you can read it...

Also, regarding the kidnapping for ransom theory....remember there was an interview with Carl Sr. early on in which he pleads for the kidnappers to leave Beverly alongside the road and nothing else will come of it. That, coupled with LE begging everyone to search sheds and any part of their property where a person may be kept leads me to believe that early on there was indication that this was a kidnap for ransom type of situation. (My internet is spotty but if anyone wants a link I will go hunt them down. Both have been posted on these threads in the past.)
I know it is of no value in this case but noticed that no one brought it up so I thought I would. Having vast experience with custody cases and child support I know that when an action is brought before the court to modify child support the process can take several months to several years for resolution. A lot of times when a Judge rules that a change in support is warranted the amount that the support is increased is due retroactively back to the date that the Order to Show Cause was filed by the Petitioning party. The "past due support" more than likely is a result of such an action and had absolutely nothing to do with someone's unwillingness to pay, refusal to pay, etc. it is simple due to both parties waiting for the Judge to make a ruling on the issue. However, like I said before, this has absolutely NOTHING to do with this case and should never have been brought up in the first place IMO.
I wholeheartedly agree with those on here who have stated they believe CL to be immature. Her actions, as a whole, come across to me as those of a teenage girl. With that said, I think we have a pretty clear picture of who she is and do not believe she was being manipulated into helping carry out a plot that she did not approve of or know about. She comes across to me as someone who was easily able to manipulate men to pay her bills, help take care of her children, etc. She seemed VERY motivated by money, even going as far as to give up custody of her child on the agreement that she wouldn't receive any less child support. I, agree, that she met her match in AL and they worked together on this plot and, like their relationship and so much else in their lives, it crashed and burned. I wish they would have crashed and burned together well before they murdered a beautiful woman and destroyed so many lives.
I want to thank both of the VI on these threads for their time and contribution. Despite the differences in opinions and beliefs we all have, we are all grateful to have you both on here. :tyou:
