The person of interest left the house at 4:30 and the grandfather saw her in her bed at 5:30.

What I find even stranger is that the grandpa left for work at 5:30 a.m. after having a guest there late into the night. And who has a guest that comes and stays that late anyway? Not in my world.Does anyone else find it odd that someone would be visiting and leave the house at 4:30 am? Maybe for work but..........
Bullitt County Sheriff Donnie Tinnell says Bailey was a guest in the home from 11 p.m. on June 6 to 4:30 a.m. on June 7.
Family member in custody as search continues for missing girl in Bullitt County
So do I. I find it curious that only Charlee's mother and grandmother were in recorded law enforcement interviews.
And then there is this out of the Sheriff.

How is RB related to the family? I haven't been able to find the connection. It is being reported that he is a relative.

From what I'm reading, he's not so much a guest as he is family. I'm getting the "needed a place to crash for the night" sort of thing. Uncle? Brother? Cousin? Not sure.

I don't think this has been posted before, my apologies, if so.
From a short presser, and I did some snipped transcripts from the video.
Sheriff:
@ about 1:50 minutes:
I can tell you that we took the mother; the grandmother, who has actual custody of the child, and the grandfather—we the mother and the grandmother to the sheriff’s office and did a video recorded statement about what occurred, what time it occurred, what took place, who was there—got all the details we can.
I got two detectives back there at the home right now picking up the grandfather. We’re going to take him to the sheriff’s office. We’re going to do a video recorded statement from him.
@ about 3:00 minutes:
The father lives in Bowling Green. We did a—the state police, with us—did a search of his home in Bowling Green to just see if he might have came and picked the child up. He didn’t. We searched the property.
We searched the mother’s property. Where she lives is just three or four miles up the road.
We searched both properties and found nothing.
The father was down last night. [June 7/18] I think he has been denied visitation since maybe last September/October. But we got no feeling at all from him that he might be involved in something that we don’t understand or know about.
@ about 3:51 minutes:
We have done developed information this morning about a guy that was there 4:30 yesterday morning, and we are going to his house and getting ready to do a search at his place.
[That guy is a] family friend.
@ about 4:20 minutes:
I don’t know that I believe that she is in the woods. I’m leaning more towards maybe a custody issue and something has happened there that we don’t know about yet.
@ about 4:41 minutes:
Yes, the grandmother and grandfather has got custody, and there has been issues between Mom and them about that issue. So, we are looking at everything we can look at.
@ about 5:04 minutes:
It’s been going on for a while. Actually, the father told me that he hasn’t seen the child since last September. So, he has been out of the picture; the actual father. But now he was down here yesterday afternoon with some family and went back to the house and talked. And I think they denied him visitation for whatever reason. But we don’t know all the details yet.
@ about 6:50 minutes:
We locked up the mother’s boyfriend yesterday but that was just on outstanding warrants, and that’s it.
No, not the child’s father
@ about 7:20 minutes:
Now, that’s the guy that’s got custody, you’re talking about. [Charlee’s grandfather] Well, that’s our information. [That he saw her in her bed when he left at 5:30 in the morning]. And I checked with a neighbor who has got cameras, and she saw—that’s the only car coming out off that property at 5:30 am was him. We’ve got video of it, and we are going to research that a little bit more—get a little more detail. Maybe expand those hours to see if there is any other vehicles went back to that house. ‘Cause it is the last one back there. So we can narrow it down and start maybe asking questions about who did show up at 6 am or 7. And, I don’t know exactly how long she expanded that look with those cameras; but we are going to investigate that shortly—work on that. And go with that angle.
@ about 8:30 minutes:
That’s a disputed thing from the family. She is having issues about speaking clearly and forming sentences; but she can say words. So, as far as we know right now, the child doesn’t have autism. That’s what they tell me. So, we don’t have any proof to verify anything on that issue.

Now this is starting to make more sense. Though I’m worried for Charlee’s safety probably more so now. Praying to God if someone took her it wasn’t a child predator.
Sadly I don’t think she left on her own with Penny. It’s possible Penny was taken and the door was left open to throw people off. Those bloodhounds should have picked up on their scent by now imo.

What seems odd about that is between that and the supposed timeline it is almost as if Charlee was not at Grandma's but with someone that isn't supposed to have custody and all the stuff that doesn't make sense is what is trying to cover that up.

Thank you Truth Prevails for the transcripts of snippets. Fantastic job!
This one right here ...
I am thinking it is possible visitation could have been denied because Charlee was not there. I don't think the timing of the event of Charlee's father showing up with family and being denied visitation and less than 24 hours later Charlee being reported missing is a coincidence.

Sheriff Donnie Tinnell said four cadaver dogs have hit on a swimming pool near where Charlee was last seen, but she has not been found.

Hoping if she was taken, taking puppy as well is a good omen...maybe? Just hoping anyway.

I can't understand how both the child and the dog are still missing, if they wandered off, where are they... if someone took Charlee, why would they take Penny....
Sure seems like a lot of people converging on the grandparent's house the day before Charlee's disappearance. The Dad of Charlee and then some sort of relative who stayed the night. The timing seems odd imo.
