Found Safe TN - Mary Catherine Elizabeth Thomas, 15, Maury County, 13 March 2017 #5

[pegs]

I've read through a number of pages and on Facebook. There phones are turned off, so they are not monitoring the internet, lots of post in the U.S. but not much south of the border. knowing TC and his planning (from what I've seen and read), he is already in Mexico on his way to some country without extradition to the U.S.. The car is gone, along with the license plates. they are probably traveling in a group bus. the only way they will be located is by someone on vacation from here, going there and spotting them. Make sure any friends going on vacation to Mexico and south know about them.

I'm not convinced that at least TC is not monitoring the internet. TC seems narcissistic, so I think he might be checking in a internet cafes, libraries with free internet etc. I think LE is probably already checking in with these places.

Since he told his wife that he was leaving, it is possible that he told her the he was leaving and Elizabeth is coming with him. Yes, that would be crazy, but he wasn't exactly acting in a sane manner anyway.

Oh, absolutely, I think he may have said that or written it in a note or something.

Kat.. The girl that dropped your sister off at Shoneys. Have you talked to her? If so.. did she say if your sis was acting different or if she said anything out of the ordinary?

She and her parents are refusing to cooperate with police. Per FBI she is a minor and we aren't allowed to mention her name

 

[MCElizabethsSISTER]

Assuming they came back for the bag that would give LE another timeline to work from, does Columbia have traffic cams? Could be why they weren't spotted on any cameras because the initial timeline was wrong.

No. It's a very small town. Think 1000 people and a Walmart. You blink and you have driven through it.

Hope they never have a missing loved one! And yes that was snarky.

I agree that it would be a super good idea if LE investigators pull phone records for the restaurant in the time frame before the backpack was picked up.

If I had realized I left a backpack at a restaurant the first thing I would do is call them to make sure they still have it and hold it for me till i get there.

If I didnt want others to see me pulling up I may even tell them to please leave it outside the door.

Getting the phone records could provide LE a phone number that could be tracked. Wishful thinking.

No words!

I've driven through that a town a few times and it seemed bigger than that. So I checked and confirmed; there are, um, more than 35,000 people there ...

 

[Mom2catieandtwins]

I am catching up, but don't think TC is hiding ET in a motel or hotel. Don't most it not all motels/hotels require ID and Credit cards to check in? I thought you had to have a card on file. Could TC have help? Some one giving him a place to hide ET?

Yes. But it's much smaller than Nashville and not large enough for traffic cams. I was trying to make an example.

I'm curious to know of what else he may have taken with him. Although we may never get that information, it would certainly give us a better idea of where they might be. Like did he take camping supplies? Was any other cash or valuables missing from his home or accounts?
He may have thought he covered his tracks well but I'm certain he's made a few mistakes. Something as simple as a Google search for Myrtle Beach ( I just made that up, there is no proof that they are in Myrtle Beach) may help the TBI locate them. It may take some time depending on how tech savvy he is but I'm guessing they will be found soon.
He was silly enough to use his work email to send filthy notes so it's very possible that he made other mistakes along the way.

Per Google the town of Culleoka TN has a population of approximately 5000 while the city of Columbia TN has more than 35,000.

 

[Greater Than]

Unless and until LE states otherwise, TC's wife is a victim.

Please do not accuse or suggest her involvement.

Thanks

Yes. My point was if you have been it's too small of a town for traffic cameras. LE did ask local businesses that face the road if they had cameras that might have captured them. I even said I was using that as an example. Everyone who lives in Columbia says it's a small podunk town

That may be why she contacted the detective working on Elizabeth's case at the school.

 

[Mom2catieandtwins]

Has anyone searched it thought of the TN river?

Elizabeth is not listed on NAMUS; at least I could not find her there. Here is the link.

IMO.. that is the investigator's fault. They need to assure the family that regardless of what this young girl says, she will not be held liable in any way. As a parent.. that is the only reason i would refuse to let my daughter talk to LE. This girl could very well have information that could've already led to ET's safe return.
