Is it a possibility for LE to drain the pond behind the rock quarry like in Mint Hill? In the initial searches in the pond in Mint Hill LE did not locate the missing teen Kayla, but once they started draining the pond, the did in fact locate her body.
I was wondering if the same could happen for Crystal?
Thinking about this case a little more, I am beginning to consider a less ominous angle. Since CM had asthma and was ill that day, perhaps the cause of her illness was that she had - or was having - an unusually elevated asthma attack and became disoriented while at work. Perhaps this is why she left the premises under rather bizarre circumstances (she didn't wait for her ride). She could have then began wondering aimlessly, following roads as her instincts suggested, but then walked off the highway somewhere and succumbed to her condition.
I hope that at least some of the searches are continuing in and around her workplace.
Concord police searched the area and came up empty handed. Now, private investigator Kevin Ryan and the CUE Center for Missing Persons will launch a different search this weekend.
The last person to see Morrison was her boyfriend, Matt Moller. He dropped her off at work that August day. Ryan has questioned Moller and has said he's being cooperative. Our efforts to contact Moller have been unsuccessful. The Kannapolis Police Department confirmed an arrest warrant was issued for Moller last week for possession of stolen goods. The warrant remains unserved.
I am glad CUE will be involved in the search this weekend. I pray they find something to help in the investigation.
From the article linked above:
I read an article that said she was seen walking away from her job ,and that she was at work for an hour so was Matt really the last one to see her?
A co-worker later told police they had seen Prentice at about 1:00 p.m. that day, walking on International Drive near the intersection with Davidson Highway in Concord, N.C., though where she may have been headed remains unclear.
IIRC, the police interviewed one of her co-workers about what happened at work that day. You are correct that Matt wasn't the last one to see her. Again, iirc, he did have her car & drop her off at work that day. That part of the article peaked my interested because the boyfriend has a warrant out for his arrest & it hasn't been served yet. Even though it isn't connected with Crystal's disappearance, it still made me raise my eyebrow. :groucho:

The volunteers are using K-9's and 4 wheelers in an effort to locate Morrison.
