Me too- you take the sheets because there is evidence and you open the window to stage the scene.

Exactly! On a rainy night, no less. I am gathering that LE has checked her window and the ground around it thoroughly for evidence.

 

[margarita25]

Still catching up and several pages behind by want to post questions and thoughts as they arise before I forget them.

Were there any workers in/at her house lately? Construction in the area?

Nice land and a good sized house (4 bedrooms might mean Savannah had her own room) but it seems to be a manufactured home. Walls are thin. Opening a window would have made noise. Any kind of struggle or argument could have easily been heard by others in a house like that. Hopefully LE have interviewed all of Savannah's siblings to find out if they heard anything. MOO.

And nobody pulled up that long gravel driveway without waking someone up.

Was Dad trucking north after Friday morning's facebook entry by Savannah? (With her phones on board?)
<modsnipped>
I am so worried about this poor child.
I pray all of my fears will not be realized.
MOO
If I should not type these things somebody delete this for me please.

If you wanted to be missing, and needed a head start, you wouldn't leave the window open and take the sheets. You would leave the bed like it had been slept in and close the window. I am getting a bad vibe on this one.

Hmmm. Nor would you use sheets to wrap up in if it is cold. If you are planning on running away, you leave your coat where you can get at it, right?
Very odd case. I don't get a good feeling about this...

Exactly- there is some planning to run away. There is a backpack missing, shoes, a jacket, money, etc... none of that mentioned so far...

Oh wow... Usually the first thing I do in a new-to-me case is go to Google Maps & see where it is. Didn’t do that here until your post. Savannah’s home is nestled in a huge tourism area. Appalachian Trail, Great Smoky Mountain National Park (the most visited NP in the USA), Bryson City, Deep Creek, Fontana Dam, Cherokee, 5 ski resorts, many scenic roads & lookout towers including the nation’s most famous motorcycle stretch- Tail of the Dragon road... All less than an hour from their new home. Could be a lot of non-local people passing through.

(Marking, thanks)

 

[margarita25]

Yes- she didn't walk to I75 and hitch a ride to Ky. LE should be on the cameras along that route-

(Marking and making note to post DOT mile markers and cameras along that route, still catching up)

 

[insearchoflight]

I always found her Facebook a bit odd. Just reading the gushing comments about her mother something seemed off to me. Not saying what just noting it’s unusual.

MOO

“There has been nothing in any of that reporting that led us to believe that she intended to run away or was speaking with anybody that would try to abduct her,” Fillyaw said, according to WVLT.

Pruitt had just moved with her family to their home in Tennessee just four weeks earlier from Lawrenceville, Georgia, according to the Gwinnett Daily Post.

She had apparently been happy about the move because their new home was in a farm setting.

Her parents described their daughter, who is the oldest of four children, as an animal lover who loved horses, her pet raccoon and other family farm animals.

Is there anybody that helps out on the farm? Farm workers?

Again with the multiple past tense phrases in that video:

Mom: "She was a very loving, very bubbly, a ray of sunshine--"

Dad: "She stole the spotlight out of the room, I mean she really did."

Mom: "As beautiful as she looks, that's how her soul was, it was very beautiful."



They talk as if they are eulogizing her already. MOO.

My sisters-in-law who was watching this on ABC, and has no idea I’m on Websleuths, immediately said something’s about the past tense!

There are so many questions!

1) When did the family first alert officials Savannah was missing?

2) At what point did the FBI get involved?

3) Those who knew Savannah, why do they think being a runaway would be a possibility?

4) Did the family ping (like with the Find My iPhone feature) the phones or did LE?

Maybe movers. She has only lived there about a month.

Lol! That would have been my daughter talking about me! NOT

 

[Scrapper18]

All I can think of is the Watts case and how CW used one of the sheets to remove SW's body and threw the other one away.

My thoughts exactly!

BBM

That's what I thought when I read about the sheets.
Maybe I've spent too much time on WS ?

Also -- and respectfully -- when was the last time people saw Savannah outside of her family ?

I’d like to know this as well. I know she was homeschooled, but were they involved with a co-op, PE classes, music classes, church, etc?

Yes, it sounds like LE believe she did not run away, yet apparently an aunt said she thought she did. I wonder what makes her think so.

I’d like to know that as well. I’d love to hear her aunt do an interview.

My hinky meter has been flying since the parent's interview. Too many oddities in it to not see something isn't right.

First, it was said that Mom noticed she was missing at 4:30 am, and she said she was last seen at 11 PM the night before.

Now it's her younger sister that noticed she was missing at 5 am.

If she was going to run away, it doesn't make sense to open the window and climb out, on a rainy night. It would have been faster and easier to go out through a door, than going out a window at that time of night. Plus carrying her two phones, clothes, and sheets out the window on a rainy night, Puleeze!

<modsnipped>.

Very well said. Something is very odd/off with this case.

Exactly! On a rainy night, no less. I am gathering that LE has checked her window and the ground around it thoroughly for evidence.

I’m hoping they’ve checked her room, mattress, etc.

 

[Rosiebones]

I wonder if this started as a choice to leave, perhaps with someone she knew and perhaps trusted and it has turned into an abduction in that she is not allowed to contact her family or return home.

 

[Jethro4WS]

And you would think one would use a pillow case to put things in instead of a sheet.
Was it cold out that night? Maybe it was used to wrap around her.
Do we know how far the window is from the ground? I'm assuming it's on the first floor.

It was between 38 and 40 degrees at the time and raining. Don't know how high the window was from the ground but per the satellite view of the home it is one story.

 

[zecats]

I could see someone using one sheet to quickly toss some clothes in and then boom -out the window, but it says "sheets" (plural). What the heck?
MOO

I’m picturing her jumping out the open window and wrapping herself up in sheets like a mummy while shuffling down a very long driveway and road to where?

Nah, not really. Nothing makes any sense with sheets and window unless you go in a different direction than voluntarily leaving.

Anyone else’s cell phone traced to Kentucky? Or car spotted? Jmo

““The girl lived in Lawrenceville, Ga. for many years before moving to Knoxville four weeks before she disappeared,” FBI spokesman Kevin G. Rowson said in an email. “So she has many contacts here from school friends (or other people).””

ETA:

It doesn’t look like she has makeup on invthe above (main) photo, maybe lipgloss idk? or at least not in that photo. (Noting bc I was wondering if any of her makeup was taken)

But at the seconds photo it looks like we has some light makeup on.

From all appearance it doesn't appear to be much of a farm and they literally had just got there.
