That explains why they say they think she knew him

Seems it may be a semantics thing w/ what LE is saying vs. the family? Them saying "knew" like more like "knew of" and LE saying she didn't know him because it was more like familiar with. Maybe?

Someone asked due to front license plate, could it be a car from MD? He said that's one of the first things they started looking at.

Just in: @DavidHenry6abc: family of Germantown abduction victim Carlesha Freeland-Gaither say her ATM card was used in Aberdeen, MD by man

Hoping this means she is still alive, as he would need her pin #. Looks like Aberdeen is about 1 hr 18 minutes from Philly on I-95 and near Army facility Aberdeen Proving Ground.

 

[bpinkbinkie]

Can hear the glass breaking on unreleased audio.

 

[Kaliste]

Not releasing Audio from abduction. Will say they heard the car door slam and glass break.

Second car that pulled out did not get a plate number

If he is not from the area and is from Maryland he may not know there were cameras in the area of the kidnapping.

I am very afraid this is not going to end well for Carlesha. If he knows LE is hunting for him he is not going to leave the victim alive to tell what all he has done. My heart wants to have hope but my mind is telling me he has hurt Carlesha very badly by now or worse.

I hope a miracle will happen and she will be found somewhere alive but LE knows they are dealing with a very bold and brazen perpetrator. Imo, this may not be the first time he has done something like this. He may have just recently been released from prison.

IMO

True.

But he certainly knew by late yesterday the video was all over the place. And most people, regardless of where they are from, knowing the exteriors of many places have them.

And of course that many interior places, and nearly always banks and ATMs, do - so at least the transaction he almost certainly would have had to assume quite possibly would have cameras.

Mother overcome. Grandmother speaking now. She's very well spoken. Pleading for return. Ana Mulero. "Brandon" from Maryland, met him at a conference. Grandma disapproved of him wanting to take her out on a date. She never allowed her to go. (I didn't catch what type of conference it was). LE shut down that line of questioning.

 

[mpnola]

That straight made me cry

Her poor Mother Go Grandma, very composed
