Found Safe KY - Charlee Campbell, 2, *autistic* & Pitbull Terrier Named Penny, Bullitt County, 7 Jun 2018

[DakotaMayi]

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.

Odd, right?

 

[Jethro4WS]

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....

Indeed. Where's the dog?

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.

The fact that the neighbor has a camera makes me hopeful that this will be solved.

Police clear man once considered person of interest in girl's disappearance

[creepcrusher]

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.

What could this mean exactly? Not good at all.

 

[Kankan]

Gahhh how awful! Hoping she is found safe soon.

Person of interest cleared of connection to missing 2-year-old Bullitt County girl as search continues

Search crews have been out in the heat and humidity for hours Thursday and Friday. They say the terrain is rocky, dangerous and full of snakes. Cadaver dogs have searched the grandmother's home, and four different dogs, at different times, hit on a pool in front of the home.

"It had a cover on it, but four different dogs, cadaver dogs, independently hit on that pool," Tinnell said. "And one of those dogs even jumped in the pool. And was indicating that something maybe was in there."

[EmmaRose]

I agree. Poor little Charlie.

 

[Jethro4WS]

Law enforcement seems to be moving fast through people connected and clearing certain people. I don't think it will be long before something breaks in this case.

 

[4SAM]

If she had been in the pool, could she have stumbled out and walked away without her scent being able to be traced by the dogs?

 

[Jethro4WS]

A new story.
Charlee Campbell: FBI interviews family members, cadaver dogs hit on pool

As mentioned earlier FBI involved. Appears they are doing the interviews with people.

 

[PhoneJockey]

Wow. It sounds like maybe she drowned and they disposed of her :'( or maybe something with the pitbull happened? Jeez. These poor kids deserve better.

 

[Jethro4WS]

Cadaver dogs find the scent of dead bodies not live people. A tracking dog would follow the scent of a live body.

 

[PhoneJockey]

Cadaver dogs only "hit" on scents put off my dead bodies, not living ones, sadly.

If she had been in the pool, could she have stumbled out and walked away without her scent being able to be traced by the dogs?

 

[Dushi]

But cadaver dogs only hit on deceased bodies, right?
Tell me I am wrong

As mentioned earlier FBI involved. Appears they are doing the interviews with people.

Also per article above:
"He also said a family friend was seen at the home and that deputies were planning to search his property."

Who is this family friend? I don't like this at all. The whole story has been suspicious from the beginning. This isn't looking good for Charlee.

 

[Truth Prevails]

This is Penny. I don't know where she could be if not with Charlee. She is giving me a little hope, but the reports of the four different cadaver dogs hitting on the grandmother's pool is diminishing my hope fast.

I really wish I could tell you that you are wrong. I really do.

 

[creepcrusher]

But cadaver dogs only hit on deceased bodies, right?
Tell me I am wrong

I believe that is correct. The bloodhounds are for the live ones. :/

 

[Truth Prevails]

Unfortunately, you are correct.
