Those little red Sportages aren't that common. We had one and it was the only one in our town. Couple that with pulling a trailer, and they should be easy to spot. This route will take them through wooded rural areas and small towns.

Anyone know if this is a Kia Sportage ? Pic found on Donna's FB page also shows a trailer.

Not sure which trim package she had. It was late and it's so dark at night right now - very worried for these ladies.

 

[killarney rose]

I would be concerned of two different scenarios. One, that they had an accident pulling the trailer and ran off the road, or that they became confused and pulled off onto a side road and became lost.

 

[killarney rose]

The panhandle can be very sketchy. Lots of meth and drugs in areas. Many places with a “Deliverance” kind of vibe. I hope they didn't become lost and end up in one if these places.

In that article is a FB post from Okaloosa SO :

The car's hood has Betty Boop surrounded by hearts on it, and there are various stickers on the back windshield.

This doesnt look like a Sportage, it looks like a Sorento. Hard to tell.

 

[killarney rose]

The Sorento has the silver bar across the back hatch. The Sportage doesn't. the car in the photo has the silver bar.

Is that light colored metal grid thing the ramp they picked up? Why wouldn’t they lay that down and strap it in? Tied to the tailgate like that would make the trailer fishtail more, right?

It looks like it could be.

Where they going to or from Milton? I keep reading conflicting stories. Early on it was said they picked up the wheelchair and left Milton.

 

[killarney rose]

Im pretty sure they're in a Sorento. I have had both. Ive been comparing the photos. We’re a KIA family, lol. The Sportage is the smaller SUV, the Sorento is the next size up. It might make a slight difference in what folks are looking for.
