Talking about all the clothes Channon was getting rid of and it was in back of the 4 runner. Ipod, pictures, cds, stuffed animal in car. Back end of the 4 runner only place messy. Daddy would get on her if car wasn't clean.

Talking about the last day she saw Channon on that Saturday. Sitting on Channon's bed talking. Channon was trying to figure out what she was going to wear to party. Mom helped her pick out outfit. (god, me and my daughter have done this same thing).

She left house wearing clothes for work that day. After work go to Kara's apt to get ready for party.

Called mom real quick at 5pm. Stopped at Walgreens to pick up shampoo or something for Kara.

I'm guessing Ms. Ethyl is taking the stand if TK is asking Deena (who looks very pretty today) about if she had money in her bank account...doesn't Ethyl claim they were begging for money?

12:30am Sunday, Dad spoke to Channon when she called to say plans had changed. Mom couldn't sleep, stayed up waiting for her to come home. Thought she was coming home at 3am. Thought she was at 3am after finishing watching movie.

Yeppers. Liar.

Deena kept calling from 6am till 10:30am, no answer. Sometimes cell would ring and sometimes straight to voicemail. In the past Channon would always call her back. Never showed up to work at noon.

Deena said told store manager he confirmed her worst nightmare when he called to say she didn't open store. Called husband then hospital then LE.

Deena describes the mystery call when Channon phoned at time we now know she was being held captive

 

[SuziQ]

LE blowing her off. Deena figured should get phone records. Cell co said Sheriff would have to request it. Phone had last pinged at Cherry street tower. Channon would never go there, scared to death of the area.

Later in afternoon Detective never called, when he did, he blew her off. If she wanted anything done, they needed to do it themselves. So Gary and son with retired friend LE organized grid search.

Gary called saying they found Channon's car. Deena went down to scene. Saw Gary, LE cars, Channon's and Chris' friends. Everyone waiting for forensics van to show up. Deena noticed that the stickers were gone and license frames missing.
