Stare at pics of tucks or discuss the possibility that she is a runaway? Why not a runaway?

Because it doesn't make sense.

- her animals
- her brother's graduation
- her dumped and damaged bike
- her plans to move to new orleans

- her one semester left before graduation

...for starters

NOT trying to beat a dead horse here, but:

Just a few more craigslist listings from surrounding states. youd be amazed at how people try to dump vehicles they need to get rid of on here

Mississippi:
http://hattiesburg.craigslist.org/cto/2962437263.html

http://hattiesburg.craigslist.org/cto/3032986485.html

http://jackson.craigslist.org/cto/3067553985.html

http://meridian.craigslist.org/cto/3032956219.html

http://northmiss.craigslist.org/cto/3074419574.html

Alabama:
http://gadsden.craigslist.org/cto/3029262538.html

http://mobile.craigslist.org/cto/3046815065.html This def has distinctive rims, possibly style LE has mentioned

Texas:
http://abilene.craigslist.org/cto/3074643930.html

http://amarillo.craigslist.org/cto/3082886522.html

http://amarillo.craigslist.org/cto/3048066866.html

This one, to me, looks very similar to the one in the surveilance picture, especially the larger size rims. Im not saying this is the truck, but im saying its probably what LE is looking at for the stlye

Would a runaway go through the trouble of damaging their own expensive bike, then throw it in Whiskey Bay as well as taking off the handlebars or grips (don't know if either was ever confirmed) from the bike? Sounds like a lot of trouble to just run away.

Just curious why you would think this. I am open to anything I just don't see this she's an adult she can come and go whenever she wants. why put you family through this? with all of the media attention I can't imagine we wouldn't know this by now. JMO

 

[gngr~snap]

Interesting idea. I think a smart perp would go to another state to try to sell on Craigslist. Of course that is a lot of ads to check.

Great post, AWOLNATION--anything in New Orleans on Craig's List?

Or Auto Trader even

not saying its not possible, but there are usually warning signs that someone is planning on running away, they actually mirror the signs of a suicidal person. They tend to fade into the background, give away personal belongings, cut ties with friends. all indicators that there is some remorse for what they are doing, and yet justifying it by giving someone something they loved like a beloning, I havent heard anything like that.

I will ask again.

What have I missed in that list?

Add to it!!!

Lets figure this out !!!

for sure, its thinking outside the box like this is what makes a great group of people. You guys are very bright!

 

[Allusonz]

Yes, A.C.I. gave an AWESOME interview! He definitely has Mickey's best interest at heart. Hopefully he is able to get some new info soon.

I need to listen to it :angel:

Got a bit busy at home but I have heard it was very good!!!

 

[Miabella]

if you are a runaway and you want people to think you are dead you do a bad job of hiding your bike in the swamp, at an exit that boaters use all the time, maybe? if you want to runway, maybe you do it at a time when no one would suspect you would runawy, maybe? Before your birthday, before your brothers graduation, maybe? maybe you don't plan to runaway, maybe an opportinity just comes along?, maybe? An old fling shows up and you go for it, maybe? just trying to think outside of the box. Because all there is right now is a damage bike that was poorly hidden.

 

[AWOLNATION]

I doubt anything like Ebay Motors, too high profile and they do major records check and background

maybe even auto auctions...cars that have been repoed, abandoned

Don't think this is an aspect we have really gone into.

What are the odds that she ran away?

We know it has happened before. What are the odds here?

Where would she go? How would she go? Bus? Friend?

 

[mkay882]

Now that caught my attention. Wasn't there warnings in Mississippi a while back for the same thing? Not to pull over until they reached a public area if at all? Now I have to go look. Um...GMC..:waitasec:

Yes.
That one was arrested a couple weeks ago.
No link because it was announced on a newscast.
So, let me add, IIRC

Downtown Alive?

Awesome never thought of this!!!

I know there is lots but my brain is mush and I am blonde :giggle:

Hidden pretty well at the time. Under 2 ft of water, completely submerged. Only found as water levels dropped without rain, right? IMO it wasn't meant to be found.

Yes there was.

It was close to the end of the Bain/Mayes incident.

I had thought they caught the guy but maybe they didn't.

Could this be another impersonator?

It wasn't poorly hidden. If so it would have been found sooner. The water had receded, I think by 2 feet, by the time it was found. That area had been searched and looked at from land before the bike was found and it was not seen. I'm sure you want Mickey found just like the rest of us, but IMO, you seem to be going about it strangely tonight and are possibly rubbing people the wrong way. Please, no offense, but first with the money accusations then throwing the possible runaway scenario out there isn't going to get people to take you serious. JS

 

[Darcyline]

Thank God for no rain or the bike still make not have been found.
