FL FL - Leila Cavett, 21, of GA (son Kamdyn, 2, found wandering streets), Miramar, 27 July 2020

[Gatherer]

It looks like her friend jf’s truck.

He said when asked about truck, "I don't give a flyin' crap about her truck. All I care about is when Leila is found." The person asking the question did not say to him, "Is that your truck?"

 

[Gatherer]

Yep. I think it's safe to assume that she was actively looking for someone to financially support her. She was probably going through very rough times when it comes to money, which would make her specially vulnerable to predators manipulating her into believing they could help her financially and lure her into a very unsafe situation. I believe this is what happened.

Agreed, which explains her multiple trips to Walmart. They have Western Unions at every location, and a location in every city.

"At this time, the Hollywood Police Department has initiated a missing person investigation and continues their efforts to locate Leila Cavett," Officer Christian Lata, the public information officer with Hollywood Police Department, said in a statement.

Cavett's grandmother traveled from Tennessee and told the station she's concerned her granddaughter has been kidnapped.

"She would've never left her baby, never," Carol Ferdinand said. "That's my granddaughter, I know her."

Hoping today is the day Leila is reunited with little Kam.

I think the bio dad will get custody of Kam during this time, as long as he is clean.
He is the next of kin.

Any scenario where this young lady is still alive? Why wouldn't she come forward if she could? Why would this man keep holding her if she is alive?

Hoping today is the day Leila is reunited with little Kam.

I hope so too, although I doubt CPS will hand him over to her until an investigation to the circumstances of why he was all atone.

Correct. JF was a friend of hers from Atlanta. He has the exact same truck in his cover picture hooked up to a boat. I think she borrowed his truck to go meet whomever she was talking to on fb marketplace. She had sold her car and was trying to make some money selling items. She probably thought she was going to buy or sell items and come right back. Idk. Just a theory. Definitely not the first case of a Craigslist type of transaction gone wrong. I know it was marketplace just making a comparison

So, if she borrowed the truck from her friend, then maybe she told him the nature of and some details re: her intended trip.

One would hope so. But that's a long trip back and forth. Would he be ok with so many miles on his truck and tires? Was she renting it from him for a few days?

 

[margarita25]

Not that I know of. They should just do it, though. I don't understand what's taking so long.

Sounds like they’re following down the leads and information as necessary, and at this time don’t need public input on that video, jmo.

I don't think she contacted him via a sugar-daday-esq site. Because those people are as discrete as you can be. I see a lot of post talking about the dangers, but those sugar-daddies cannot afford any trouble whatsoever. They usually have wives, and/or a well paid job. They want absolute discretion, and certainly not a bad review.

Its usually the guys on the fringes that can be vague and unpredictable. She posted several things on fb for sale so anyone could have seen that and contacted her IMO.

That’s not completely true. I feel comfortable sharing this because this site is anonymous and I trust you guys but I have some experience on one of these sites. It was a couple years ago when I was younger and more naive and thought it would be fun. I stupidly agreed to go with a man a barely knew to Florida from where my college is. He drove there and I could’ve easily been sold or kidnapped. Thankfully I’m safe and he turned out to be ok but that’s not the point. It makes me wonder if Leila even was the one who drove down there. I also have no experience with the sites found on her FB page but the one I used had a mix of normal people and some pretty sketchy guys. I only met with the one guy but got loads of sketchy messages and too good to be true offers. If she didn’t know any better, she could’ve easily met up with someone who was fake.

I’m thinking she’s alive being held inside one of the apartments Kamdyn was found beside.

 

[andalso]

I wonder if LC was trying to hide Kamdyn from the person she may have been meeting? Having a 2 year old around isn't the best date scenario. So, perhaps she decided to leave him alone somewhere while she went on a date and then she never returned from the date (for whatever unknown reason) so Kamdyn wandered off?

 

[oceanstarryeyes]

If there’s Walmart video of the parking lot showing what type of car they left Walmart’s in that could be matched with the cars at the apartments.

 

[Gatherer]

This is so scary after the release of info about the guy she met online she may of felt comfortable bringing her son along to see him and things went very wrong. Being a mom of a couple girls that’s a parents nightmare they seem to have no fear meeting people online. Jmoo, I hope they find her alive and well

She’s from small town Alabama, and young. She hasn’t experienced the harsher side of the world. Unfortunately, for as long as I’ve been alive, Florida’s been a haven for the dark side of society.

 

[margarita25]

Behind as usual here, but just want to say re: all the discussion re: vehicles, I’m glad @carbuff is here.

 

[andalso]

I think that LE probably has a treasure trove of images and videos as well as her digital footprint.

I wonder what was found in her vehicle? Cell phone? Purse? Diaper bag? None of the above?

Thankfully, Kamdyn is a child that has a certain type of cute/adorable sparkle that people notice! IMO

I am hopeful that tips are flooding in about sightings of them in the area prior to him being found wandering alone.

 

[margarita25]

It is my opinion the truck has something to do with what happened to Leila. She was selling a small sedan, perfect for her and Kamdyn. She indicated she was in need of an SUV ASAP. Why did she need a bigger a vehicle? Find the reason behind that and you will have a strong clue.

So, jumping off this post, a few things come to mind:

1. shelter (I’ve watched some videos about homeless people who live in their cars and SUVs, not sure what her residential situation is.

2. “hauling” which was mentioned upstream

3. Room for stuff she was selling.
