Doubt anyone would be fishing for food. What are they doing for food now? They are hiding somewhere.

Well, that is my question, what would they be doing for food on that boat on Smith Lake?

The above is my opinion only.

One thing they may have found is pics of her on his computer one ig pic she posted said send nudes and her words under it were -when I go to Walmart dated March 10

She may have just seen that display when she was at Walmart, though. I was at Walmart today, and there was a display of those 'mermaid' pillows that have double sides sequins on them that allow you to 'draw' on them by moving your finger across the squibs. One of the pillows had a design someone left on it that said 'send nudes'. The next pillow had a phone number. [emoji53]

Ok, so they are at Smith Lake.

Stole a boat, owner assumes his loss for being forgetful, thus no search for the boat.

They are fishing for food I assume.

What is next?

The above is my opinion only.

I spent a lot of time on boats when I was growing up but I've never been fishing. Our boat had a kitchen area/galley so we just brought food with us and cooked it on the stove. It's almost the same as an RV, it just floats.

Again you can take the boat and be at Walmart in a very short short time. Also you can walk down to some of the Marinas, some have groceries. Strangers aren't noticed at the lake, people let others use their place all the time. Also we have non-perishables at the end of the season that will be there the beginning of the season.

That is cool. I guess Walmart is on the lake?

UGH!

(EDIT by me so no one needs to click on the link to see what I'm UGHing about)

Article describes TN law that would allow them to return and TC only get charged with a misdemeanor.

From the article...

""If she comes back and she is absolutely adamant that this is all voluntary, her own doing, that he didn't touch her, it's going to be difficult to prove that," said Cooper."

"Our kidnapping statute says in essence through it's silence on that issue. It's saying that you can be between 13 and 18 and you can legally make the mature decision to leave your family and run off with a person never to be seen again," said Cooper."

BBM - Even if that person has a warrant out for their arrest?

I just want to mention a few things.

I am sick at the thought of ET not being found yet and we are at the two week mark. 😢 I am feeling rather helpless, so I've been thinking about what I personally could do to help find her. This is what I've come up with:

I work for a private, closed door pharmacy (not open to the public) as a courier delivering medication to nursing homes and rehabilitation centers. There are eight of us fulltime and several others who run stat emergency deliveries. Between everyone, we cover a huge area over three states (Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma). My route alone is right at 300 miles round trip. The route drivers work a morning delivery and an evening delivery, meaning at any time there are at least two of us on the interstate and local highways at any point during a 24 hour period. We pass numerous truck stops, gas stations, Walmart stores, hunting and fishing areas, parks, casinos, etc. Some very big companies call this area home, as well. From my house, a drive twenty minutes north places you at Walmart world headquarters and twenty minutes east places you at the Tyson world headquarters. Add to this JB Hunt, George's chicken, McKee Foods (Little Debbie), and Butterball all have multiple large plants here. This area is a massive outlet for trucking companies.

In my corner of the state you can also find both heavily populated areas and extremely rural places (I know local people living out of a school bus "bunker" buried in the ground in a town of less than 200 people. We have several state parks and one very large local national forest area that the game and fish do not regularly check unless someone is reported missing INSIDE of the park boundaries. White Rock Mountain is just one spot and it's so big it's a little scary. Several of our parks have seasonal cabins and honor systems for camping. My husband is a big outdoor and survival guy so I have been asking him "what would you do" and "where would you go" questions. His said White Rock, no phone, bare minimum three month supply of food and medication, water purifying tablets, firestarter, hunting rifle, hunting knife, set up camp walking distance to a water source (lake, pond, stream, river, ocean), boots and clothing that can be layered. He also said TC isn't going to get much education from "that stupid book"!! I have no doubt my hubby could disappear and hide for months without being spotted. Husband would never, ever disappear, but he has given me some great insight on what TC may be doing or where they could hide in our state.

I have no idea if ET and TC are any where NEAR where I am, but I must do something to help find her!!! I am planning to print out missing posters and hand them out at work tonight. I'll ask everyone to stop and post them at the truck stops, rest stops, gas stations we all pass everyday.

I should post the flyer and updated photos at the office so everyone can get a good look at the both of them, the license plate, and the car.

That's all I have for now.
Prayers for ET and everyone else involved in this mess.

There are several places close. You can dock at numerous restaurants and businesses. You can take a cab or Uber if where you need to go is further.

Getting supplies at any of these lakes is not a problem, not to mention the non-perishables that people leave at the end of the season. It all depends on the size of the closest marina.

I still think that ship is sailed since they crossed state lines and the FBI is involved also.

So, they would be living a normal Smith Lake life I guess.

That is one interesting place.

The fact that he was looking for work in a semi-nearby area (Decatur, AL) is a big indicator that he is going to stay in the states and attempt to plant roots again. I think they are hunkered down somewhere in the southern states, possibly a college town. I think the Rogue is long since hidden and they are driving something else, moving about cautiously but right under our noses. And if they are having intimate relations, she is going to fall in love with him and stand by his side.

I am wondering how they know he was looking for work in that area, and what the timeframe actually was. He was suspended from the school, and maybe he told his wife he was looking for other jobs (perhaps in that area). Maybe he took it so far to drop his resume off/fill out applications for some jobs in that area. Just my opinion.

Fellow Arkansan here...Woo Pig! This is an awesome idea!

It isn't interesting, it is the normal lake life. Again, it would be an easy place to hide out for days or weeks right now and have a bed, shower, electricity, cable and many times Internet and no one pay attention.

 

[123coldren]

To me, it would make more sense if he stole plates just once - but took them from somewhere that they are unlikely to be missed. For example, a wrecked car that's been sitting at a garage/tow lot for a long time, or a vehicle that's obviously not running and is parked in tall grass/behind a barn, that sort of thing. If someone eventually does notice that the plates are gone, they won't know when they disappeared, and would be unlikely to associate it with this case.

Ok going on the stolen plates idea it would have to be from same make and model vehicle at junk yard or auto shop any way to research recks involving a similar vehical

I am going to have to make a visit soon I guess.

I posted about this a little earlier but it seems my post has been deleted? I'm not sure why as this is important.

<snipped by me>

Comments on Facebook (other than those from Law Enforcement (LE) or MainStream Media (MSM)) are considered to be rumor and are not allowed here. I imagine that's why your post was deleted.

Nah, it could be any tag. Cops likely wouldn't pay attention if it was a different state tag especially.

I been thinking about the stolen plates idea as well.

Why would you steal the plates? Because people would be looking for the letters and numbers from the AA. In that case, you would not need to steal from an identical or even similar car.

If you are concerned that LE would run the plates, you have let LE too close already. There is a poor chance of finding an exact car in which to steal the plates and no one know. If the plates come from a car in a junk yard, it would be reported as such when LE called it in.

I can see the first scenario to be the most likely reason to steal plates.

The above is my opinion only.

I was just thinking same make and model because in FL all toll highways snap a pic of the plate and it would stand out if it came back to wrong vehical and law enforcement also runs plates randomly as they see them you would not want the plate coming back to say a Ford truck when the car is a Nissan
