I don't think they were remotely trustworthy but the first few Twitter threads saying this was staged after she returned home said she stole money from work and had been kicked out of nursing school.
The traffic cam video was really strange,
My assumption would be the video. It didn't really align with the story. Car coasted a long way to have seen someone from that far back and the road was very busy too
Searching for "how to take money from a register without being caught" does kind of fit that though.
Same. Especially when the cops didn't say anything about her supposed "abductor" that she said had kept her captive. Usually the cops would have raided the house, given out the name so the public could keep an eye out for him, ect ect...Yet, the police just stayed silent for like a day or so. I pretty much knew then.
That ships already sailed. They already don't spend much time unless the media puts pressure on them
Honestly speculating anything is not that great either.
You're correct that it wasn't her family who set it up, however, even though crimestoppers initially said they would refund the money (after Carlee was found), they then reneged on that as the case was still open and abductor was not found (or a reason thereabouts), though I'm sure considering current situation they'll likely do a full refund of whatever funds are left over...
That, the footage, the lack of anyone else seeing a child and then no active hunt for a kidnapper. It became harder and harder to believe.
After that announcement she walked home my hunch went to either 1.) mental episode or 2.) shady/fakery
There were some texts posted yesterday from someone in law enforcement or from the fire department that had all the details that were announced in the presser today. The whole orange hair guy with a bald spot and feeding her cheez its in an 18 wheeler. When I first read it I said there ain't no way that's real… but sure enough…
