Didn't see this called out yet - this article also states, "The Thomasville Police Department found the white Toyota Tacoma driven by Robert Carter on Cemetery Road in Ochlocknee on Friday."

Robert Carter is now in police custody. I hope he provides information about Mrs. Shirey….

 

[Stunned]

Exactly.....why is he free to roam when people who get picked up for marijuana are in for much longer. Apsolutely ridiculous!

Bond denied for man possibly connected to missing Thomasville woman

A Thomasville man accused of several crimes remained behind bars Monday night after bond was denied during his first court appearance.

Captain Steve Jones describes how they found Carter.

"With the two helicopters in the air is why we think he was bedded down, and stayed in one, pretty much central location," Jones said. "And one of the search teams actually found him in the river."

Carter remains silent about the whereabouts of Deanna Shirey. GBI posted pictures of a comforter missing from her home. Wishing he would do something noble and tell where he left her body.

Officials with the Thomasville Police Department, the Thomas County Sheriff's Office, the Georgia State Patrol and other agencies are currently searching in an area behind the Peaceful Rest Cemetery, located just off of North Pine Tree Boulevard in Thomasville.

Teams are searching a thick wooded area and a swamp behind the cemetery. A GSP helicopter is helping search from the sky, while law enforcement officers are searching on foot and on ATVs.

Authorities are not releasing details on why that specific area is being searched. However, officials say that since the Georgia Bureau of Investigation asked for help from the public yesterday regarding the case, numerous tips have come in that they're following up on.

If anyone is still confused about where this is taking place like I was - Thomasville (where Deanna lived/went missing) is in South Georgia, just 45 min or so northeast of Tallahassee (where her car was dumped). The city where RC’s car was found - Ochlocknee - is just outside of Thomasville to the north.

So the only connection so far to Tallahassee, FL so far is her car being found there. I wonder if he took a bus back after dropping the car?

It sounds like he has been causing a lot of problems for the residents in the Thomasville area. Glad he is caught. Very sad for Deanna and her family. Hopefully he will talk soon.

All IMO

I read that he owned a moped and put it in Ms. Shirey's car as transportation back to Thomasville.

Moped? I had not read about a moped. Link please.

I was just coming here to mention something in regard to these points: I cannot help but wonder if our perp has anything to do with Amber McGrivy's disappearance from a Florida-bound bus out of Thomasville at right around around this same time last year.

Call me crazy, but I even see a physical resemblance between the two women despite their age difference. Personally, I'd like to know where Robert Carter II was in July 2017.

Thoughts, anyone?

This is all MOO except as cited/linked.

Authorities have uncovered the body of Deanna Shirey, the Thomasville woman who was reported missing nearly two weeks ago.

TPD says Shirey's body was discovered within 50 feet of Robert Carter's home.

Carter, 47, was identified a person of interest on July 6 in the disappearance of Shirey. Police said they were searching for Carter in connection to a separate incident, but added that they "strongly believed" he was connected to Shirey's case

Body of missing Thomasville woman found

LE apparently missed finding her body one week ago when they searched Carter’s property.
I don’t find this reported yet in text form, so I’ve transcribed from video.
Body of missing Thomasville woman found
^^ Video at link
1:03 Multiple agencies already searched Carter’s home once last Friday, using K9s and drones but came up empty. Police say it wasn’t until receiving a citizen’s tip last night that they returned to search a second time, finding Shirey soon after. All they can tell us is that she was outside on Carter’s property, within 50 feet of his home.
[…]
They say the area was very camouflaged, hidden with grass around it. Shirey seemed to have been there for quite some time and her missing comforter was found near her body.

 

[Traymar]

I'm glad they've found her body, but of course it's not the outcome I would have hoped for. Poor Deanna.

Now let's get this guy off the streets for good.
