Thank you again for your recaps Queen! I wish they would live stream the whole thing and just take the camera away from the ones who do not want to be taped. Being at work all day, I much rather just plug in my headphones and listen. And now today my LCD backlight went out in my phone and I could not even read the tweets as they posted. :tantrum:

I have been following this case since Carrie went missing. It's been a wild ride. Hopefully soon there will be justice for Carrie and her family! :rose: :candle: :rose:
