So many of you think the police would immediately tell the public about an abduction. Wrong.

Here's a case in CA, where the police didn't believe Denise Huskins was abducted because she returned 48 hours with a suitcase. They thought it was a hoax because she "didn't act like a kidnapping victim." Well, the FBI got on the case and arrested a Harvard-trained lawyer who abducted Huskins and demanded less than $10K ransom. The nasty speculation and rumors forced them to move. The police didn't warn the public about a real threat. https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-vallejo-police-hoax-denise-huskins-20160801-snap-story.html

It's dangerous at worst, laughable at best if you think the police, companies, the church, or even journalists will release timely information to protect the public or private constituencies. We know from the movie "Spotlight" that the Boston Globe sat on information that would alert the public that priests were molesting children, until they felt they had a "stronger" case. We know from #metoo that companies have routinely swept cases of rape and harassment under the rug. Heck, if you're over 10 years old, you will be lucky if your missing persons case is taken seriously or even investigated, so what makes you think they're out there in a rush to warn the public: https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/investigations/2023/03/02/missing-children-kids-police-attention-depends-on-age-location/11219534002/

Red Roof Inn has been hit with lawsuits for aiding and abetting traffickers and profiting from it in many states. So, the hotel did or didn't do something based on its own interests. If you Google it you will read horrifying details and them turning a blind eye (i.e. proving my earlier point about companies not protecting the public or its guests).

Twitter reports 64,000 Black women remain missing. Here's an NPR report on how Black women disproportionately go missing. https://www.npr.org/2021/09/24/1040048967/missing-black-women-girls-left-out-media-ignored

No matter what happened to Carlee, publicizing all missing women (and children, per above) cases can greatly influence their outcome of being found and helping the police. We know that Black women are often ignored.

Thank you, PP. Most people are blissfully unaware of the scope of the human trafficking problem in the U.S. For those who want more information and want to help fight this:

I'll note that even a horrible thread is still attention draw to a case as the tweet suggests, sadly.

Yes, but how many of the specific cases you cite have video capture of the disappearance, as well as a police statement that they have pieced together every footstep the person made prior to that?

So different.

You have no idea. In the Huskins case they had an eye-witness--her boyfriend. It didn't seem to matter at all.

I think you misunderstand. Regardless, a camera and videotape is not the same as a person's account.

Grainy camera footage doesn't tell the entire story. You missed my post just upthread that might fill in some gaps for you:

One more about people thinking everyone would, no doubtedly!, see something on the side of a busy highway. In another inattentional blindness study, 83% of radiologists failed to spot an angry gorilla that had been placed on their slide. As mentioned in the article, these are people trained to detect inconsistencies.

She is very attractive. Maybe it was a stalker of some kind, but not sure how the belief of seeing a toddler would fit in.

I am sorry but this post seems like victim shaming if she was in fact kidnapped or targeted. This is akin to “she was dressed like a prostitute, so she deserved it.”

I'm not sure - the post may very well have been meant that way. However, another possible interpretation was that she was a very attractive woman who made posts of herself publicly available, and it is possible she was stalked as a result. That's not saying it was her fault, just that it is a possibility may have occurred. If the post was blaming her, I agree that is gross.

If she was targeted maybe her posts drew attention, they were clearly attention seeking. It's not really what you would expect someone to post under their own name as they headed off to nursing school, is it? And then to go on and on in her IG post attacking another woman as a "stripper" when she posted very similar posts under her own name? It's odd. Her father is a bank exec.

I think a hoax of some sort or a substance induced hallucination then freak out, or her dipping out for a few days is more likely than kidnapping, ymmv. LE released a vid with no person or car near hers and no one is talking about a missing toddler at all anymore.

Pp here. You are right. I can see both sides. I may have misinterpreted it.
