Woman missing after reporting seeing a toddler on the highway

I clicked the bathing suit picture and you biddies are so out of touch. It’s a little vulgar but hardly scandalous in 2023.

Her TikTok video -- under her own name -- has her twerking, braless, and hunched over with her hands on the floor as she bounces her butt in short-shorts. It goes past a "little vulgar." Probably good for her family to work on scrubbing her social media, and fast.

That the family did not call LE before going to RRI or when she returned home suggests to me that they did not see the situation as a LE one at that point and where trying to address it themselves or buy time to frame the facts. The family was not acting concerned about a missing toddler or out of a zeal to catch abductors. They were acting like they were trying to shield her from LE consequences and mitigate her mess. YMMV.

It’s like you’re completely unaware that there’s a trust issue between black Americans and the cops.

The family called LE initially.

For everyone wanting to make this woman a paragon of your fave pet cause, you may want to rethink. Esp after seeing her social media.

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.

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.

There was no kid.

You have no idea if there was a kid or not.

There was never a kid. She did this on her own. You being gullible doesn’t change that.

I haven’t weighed in on it at all - I have no idea if there was a kid there. I’m not gullible, I’m aware there is no concrete evidence one way or the other. You, on the other hand, are certain you have knowledge that you simply do not have.

Lol. Why isn't there coverage of people looking for the kid? Why isn't there a description of the kid like an amber alert?
Why didn't at least one other driver see the kid? How did she see the kid several hundred yards away in the dark and know to turn her hazard lights on?

While the Black community has every reason to mistrust cops, there was an active investigation underway. LE needed to know when she was found so they could stop devoting resources toward searching for her. Are you saying the family didn't contact LE because they were worried LE would show up at their home and shoot her? Seems much more plausible that they didn't call because they were trying to buy time to frame the facts.

No one is making her a paragon of their cause. Some of us are just not making shit up and trashing someone we know nothing about.

Also, people have never been in that situation. I'm sure if I've been up for 2 days worried about my kid, when they finally walk through the door after I've been fearing they're dead, I'm not going to say, "Hold on just a minute, while I call the police." I'm probably going to fawn all over them. They have their own trauma. Maybe the advocate happened to call, or arrive, and then she called. Seems reasonable.

I think if you've been in constant touch with the police, and know they've been out searching for your kid, you call asap!

6 cars of family members headed over to the Red Roof Inn upon reports she was at a party there, no calls to LE even on the way? Did not seem like they thought they were going to encounter dangerous criminal traffickers, more that they were trying to contain her mess.

Oh no. I could tell by something that her mom said when interviewed, that she wasn’t “picture perfect”. Her mom being closer to my age and religious like myself would most certainly be clutching her pearls at her daughter’s social media posts. I am not going to bother looking at it. I’m glad she’s home and hope that more info will come out soon so that all of the theories can finally be laid to rest.

You'd think that someone in the 6 cars of family that drove over could spend 30 seconds to call, especially if they thought there was an abductor, but okay.

I’m sure Carlee will devote her life to finding that poor toddler. Maybe OJ can refer her to whoever he’s using to find Nicole’s killer.

It's clear 99% of people on this thread would have done things absolutely perfectly.

I think Hoover PD waits another day or two, makes some statement that this is closed and confirms that there is no threat to the public. They probably come to an agreement with Carlee & her family that they won’t pursue any charges as long as she doesn’t cling to the BS story.

any explanation about her wig being on the ground?
