Have you watched the interview?
They did follow them. That is when the lady took her last pic on her phone, the one where the person who had the little girl covered her own head so as not to be seen.
I believe there was a tag number given, it did not match the car. I don't know if it was a stolen tag, or they got the tag number wrong, but there was one given. This wasn't in this interview, but in an article online when it first happened.
So far I have not seen an article or heard an interview where it states that they BOTH left to call crimeline.
Yes, I'm sure they were both over excited, to see a little girl that LE says is dead. It would freak me out, and I wouldn't be sure WHAT to do either. I think they did the best they could in that situation, they took pics they called crimeline, and they followed them long enough to get a tag number.
Yes, I did watch the video. And I heard the lady say that after she called the crimeline she came back and found that the child "was gone". Why nos statement from the other woman saying where the child went if the other woman stayed behind? She then said, "But I got pictures of her covering her head." I did not hear her say she followed the child. How could she if, when she came back, the "child was gone"? But, I will re-watch the video to see if I am mistaken. It would not be the first time!
