Thank you so much! I want so bad to hear some hope!

You're welcome. It is not an embed code that updates. It is a graphic/image that reflects what it looked like that day.

Re the Instagram the following number could change also if she requested to follow someone weeks ago and they just now accepter her request-doesn't necessarily mean she's logging in

 

[mrskeev]

Elizabeth's Instagram went from following 284 the other day to 285 yesterday. This morning she's following 286.

Might mean she IS on SM.

Weird, now it says she's following 283.

GMA:

TC researched how to covertly send messages on Instagram and with encrypted text. Also, I had missed that ET has a slight lisp.

I understand taking a change of clothes so she could change into fresh ones after going swimming (or thinking she was going swimming). I'm just really curious as to what was in the bag that was left at Shoney's.

They came back to grab the bag. Did anyone see the contents?

I thought it wasn't clear who picked up the bag.

I slept a total of 4 miserable hours last night. So frustrated that, for days, I have been spinning my wheels and looking for a needle in a haystack. This morning, it occurred to me that this case requires an approach very different from how I usually operate here. With that thought in mind, this morning I will use every WS resource, every friend and partner we've made over the years to try to spread the word on this case. Crowd sourcing is the only way we are going to find her.

(Talking to Butch from Wolfpack SAR as I type.)

Can we come up with a list of highly trafficked sites where ET's info can be shared?

Hmm...I refreshed and now mine is at 285. I guess though that it's a dead end.

It was a great to see the video on GMA showing her and her brother. We now know what she sounds like.
Again. .I would like to say to Elizabeth. .Honey, if there is ANY possibility that you are reading this and are anywhere near Mississippi, I will help you get to safety. You have so many new friends here that want to help you!

What about the truck stops in OK city? I know that's a large trafficked area for truckers.

I'd bet that​ LE has subpoenaed both of their SM accounts.
Followers can change without someone logging in though.
Believe me, I'd love it if she did log in to SM because then they'd be closer to finding her.

Thank you for suggesting this!

A couple days ago, another websleuther and I called or sent posters to Decatur area places.

I love when we theorize but I love even more when we can think of practical ways to help.

I live on the coast of NC. It was a beautiful day here yesterday so I took my daughter to the beach. As I sat watching the waves and the scattered tourists I realized that TC an ET could easily be out on our beaches and never be noticed. I, of couse, was searching every face but, from what I could see, the people on that beach were really just focused on their own family. As I scanned the beach I saw mothers with sons, fathers with daughters, husbands and young wives and I see now how easy it would be for them to hide in plain sight. We are directly between two marine bases so it's normal to see many different state's plates. A plate from TN just wouldn't stand out here. We have camping sites within 5 miles of our beaches. The beach is not too crowded this time of year but weather is mild so we do get tourists.
I sometimes find that I work on the assumption that people are more observant than they really are. It would be easy for TC and ET to alter their appearance enough to make it difficult to pick them out of any crowd.
I wish this morning would have brought news of them being found, it didn't so I'll continue to keep my eyes peeled, keep making trips to the beach and campgrounds to look and keep praying she's found safe and sound.

Being abused sets you up for a really skewed view on boundaries, relationships, and love. I do not think she will willingly leave him. I do not think she is grossed out by him. I do not think she sees him as a creep/weirdo/predator. I think she sees him as a savior *shudder*. I think she thinks is on an adventure w him. I think she feels very doted on and loved.
All MOO.

Absolutely right.
As I mentioned before, I was in a similar situation to ET when I was 15. When my mom found out, she wanted to press charges and I begged her not to, and she didn't (and the detective asked her not to as well) :banghead:. If he had gone to jail when I was 15, I would have been furious at my mom. It wasn't until I was 20/21 when I realized that he was a monster and he had done something very wrong. All I knew was that I felt love from this guy that I wasn't getting at home.
I wouldn't expect her to go away from him willingly for a very long time. I only think they will be caught by someone being alert and seeing them or her sneaking off to make contact with her siblings somehow. She may also log in to social media at some point since most teens seem to be absolutely addicted to it these days.

Nashville is also about 80 miles from Columbia and Nashville to the state line is anywhere from 1.25 to 1.5 hours. That wouldn't be all day. You can get from Nashville to Birmingham in 3 hours.

Actually it's approx 40 miles, depending on what part of Nashville.

I'll try to come up with a list of places around Orange Beach, AL later this afternoon, after I hit a few national endangered kids websites. TC posted about the bar Tacky Jack's, so maybe we can reach out to someone there. And The Turquoise Place. And local media.

I have only been loosely following this so I have questions about the bag that was left at Shoney's. Did she come back to pick it up? What was in the bag?

A change of clothes. It was come back for
