FR can be the first to break this story on the internet.

Any other details?

[mrs tiggywinkle]

Oh dear God...

[cajungirl]

I heard Mark Klass on tv and he said something about Carlie being dead, he said her parents had probably been told that cops suspected she was dead,,his voice was sad and I had the idea he knew something. Poor parents, poor child,,this is so sad and terrible.

[ClintonBeGone]

You got a link to their website at least?

[Sacajaweau]

Geez! My sympathies to family and friends.

[section9]

Sad news.

Time for Governor Bush to fire up Ol' Sparky.

Be Seeing You,

(Sigh) - our worst fears realized. Prayers for Carlie - heaven has a new angel. Prayers for her heartbroken family.

And may her murderer be brought to swift justice.

[sasafras]

This is sad very sad. I am sure the perp will be caught and will get sympothy from all the libs saying he had a deprived childhood. America we need to wake up our society is crumbling and moral depravity is flourishing.

[Joe Brower]

"Time for Governor Bush to fire up Ol' Sparky."

Aye. I hope to God they catch the culprit. And I gladly volunteer to pull the switch.

[South Hawthorne]

My prayers to her greiving family and for the repose of her soul.

Gov. Bush wants an investigation as to why it took the police so long to issue an Amber Alert. Their claim (according to Fox) was that they thought she might have run away. Not a very good excuse for holding off on issuing the alert on a missing 11 year old if you ask me.

[MEG33]

I was praying 5 minutes ago that she was alive and if she wasn't,that her body be found for her family's sake.May God comfort her loved ones and may the perp receive justice.

[leadpencil1]

They have one Joseph Smith in custody as a prime suspect.

[Deguello]

Bump.

[holymoly]

Here's their website:

I wouldn't be in such a big hurry to believe this. Wait until it has been verified. It wouldn't be the first time a tv or radio station "jumped the gun".

[AAABEST]

We must pray for this family and this poor little girl.

[ConservativeMan55]

She hasn't been officially found dead. The Police Press Conference just proved that.

[Constitution Day]

All I heard on there so far is Glenn Beck.

White, married, 3 kids, long rap sheet. Arrested on cocaine possession charges.

[zook]

In my younger years I used to decry "taking the law into our own hands." But as an adult and as a parent, and in a case like this, I'd like to see swift vengance. I want there to be a deep, cold, terrible fear in the mind of anyone who would even think of committing such a crime.

[ResistorSister]

The suspect
Joseph P. Smith

[mtbopfuyn]

Poor little child. Prayers for Carlie and her family.

[sinkspur]

Sorry to sound so WASPish, but I hope the guy's an illegal alien.

Nope. White, ex-con, trash.

[cinFLA]

I am sure the perp will be caught

I thought they already had him in jail for another offense?

[Prince Charles]

If true, this perp (and all child killers) should be subject to Taliban-style torture before his execution.

[cajungirl]

you and me both.

Cops: No Help From Fla. Abduction Suspect

Add U.S. National -
By MITCH STACY, Associated Press Writer

SARASOTA, Fla. - The suspect linked to a missing 11-year-old girl whose abduction was captured by a surveillance camera is not cooperating with investigators, authorities said Thursday.

Joseph P. Smith, 37, is not answering any questions about the disappearance of Carlie Brucia, who has been missing since Sunday evening, Sarasota County Sheriff Bill Balkwill said.

"We want to know where Carlie is," Balkwill said.

Smith was taken into custody Tuesday on a probation violation charge unrelated to the disappearance. A telephone tip led authorities to link him to the car wash's surveillance video.

He has not been charged in the disappearance but remains jailed without bond in the probation violation.

"We have strong evidence that he is in fact the perpetrator," said Capt. Jeff Bell, the lead Sarasota County sheriff's investigator on the case.

Smith has been arrested at least 13 times in Florida since 1993, according to state records. He was arrested in 1997 in Manatee County on kidnapping and false imprisonment charges, but was acquitted a year later. Records also show other arrests ranging from misdemeanor battery to felony drug possession.

Smith's car, a Buick Century station wagon, was being combed by investigators for clues. A home he had recently lived in was cordoned off with yellow police tape and several paper bags, presumably holding evidence, were carried out by investigators. A body was not found, officials said.

Carlie's stepfather, Steven Kansler, was among those who visited the cordoned-off home. He was visibly distraught as he left there late Wednesday night.

horrific news!

there was a report yesterday I think about a man in kissimee (?) who thought he witnessed a female with a red top having a fight and trying to get away from a man. He saw the man chase her but wasn't sure if she was caught. He went home and then saw the video/news about this girl.

I haven't heard more about this story, so I'm unsure if it was related but my stomach turned hearing it - because if I saw a public situation like that I would've fired up the cell phone and at least phoned it in....you never know, and it might save a life.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

Joseph Smith...most likely not an illegal.

[corlorde]

Do not go past go, do not collect your 200 dollars, send him straight to the chair.

We need to start making examples of these creeps, in horrific ways. My daughter is ten and I have a bad habit of superimposing my daighter's face with the face of whatever child is missing and I get myself in a killing mood.

[NautiNurse]

It doesn't make sense that the 9:00am press conference states they are still trying to locate Carlie. They may suspect she is dead, but she has not been located. This story is not true.

[cajungirl]

mean looking man. How can the parents bear knowing this was the last face she saw. We protect our children and want them to know kindness and goodness and then something like this,,I cannot begin to fathom what the parents are going thru.

[azhenfud]

America has GOT to get back to carrying out public executions.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

**We must pray for this family and this poor little girl. **

Pray, indeed. <><

Where two or more are gathered in His name...

[cold_dead_fingers]

--I wouldn't be in such a big hurry to believe this. Wait until it has been verified. It wouldn't be the first time a tv or radio station "jumped the gun".--

I agree that many times they jump the gun. This story has a name to it. If this is a false alarm, there will be serious repercussion. Paul Castronovo is a DJ on a sister station and has granted permission for his name to be used as a source. His mother is a friend/neighbor Carlie's family. That said, I understand why the mods pulled the original thread. That's why I called to confirm. If need be, this thread can be pulled and I will not be upset. I am far more angry and upset about this poor girl's abduction/murder than I can describe at this moment.

May she rest in peace.

[Cboldt]

Carlie's stepfather, Steven Kansler, was among those who visited the cordoned-off home. He was visibly distraught as he left there late Wednesday night.

Pure speculation on my part, but perhaps he saw some of Carlie's clothing, or a piece of jewelry, or something that he knew to be hers.

Another sad story.

[unixfox]

Totally agree. Law enforcement these days are too busy busting people for smoking cigarettes, seat belt violations, and pot smokers to focus on real criminals.

[mrs tiggywinkle]

**She hasn't been officially found dead. The Police Press Conference just proved that. **

without a tv...could you share more?

[kjam22]

America has GOT to get back to carrying out public executions.

Yep... that and America has got to get back to keeping prisioners in jail. They should make the parole board break the news to the family.

[Quilla]

Pure speculation on my part, but perhaps he saw some of Carlie's clothing, or a piece of jewelry, or something that he knew to be hers.

Or a collection of child pornography.

[areafiftyone]

OMG This is sooo sick!

[mystery-ak]

LEO may have evidence they collected in the car or his house, just no body.

[cajungirl]

makes you wonder why the SOB didn't get out of his car and intervene or at least make a public racket. What is it with people that they see stuff like that and remain uninvolved. we once saw a guy getting beat up on a sidewalk in a bad hood,,we drove up, blew our horn constantly and flashed lights till the perp ran away. You don't have to put yourself at risk to do something to stop something awful going on. If that guy saw Carlie and went home,,,well I hope he feels hellish today.

[AppyPappy]

If it is so concrete, why isn't it on their website?

[Petronski]

I'm not busting on you, I'm asking in general of all Freepers: does ANYONE ELSE have the story yet? How can that be?

[Orange1998]

They should make the parole board break the news to the family.

You got that right.
