I haven't followed any details of the case, but quite possibly she was a lot more than 9 minutes late - maybe they'd been expecting her for awhile. It would seem to be beyond the normal procedures of any parent to call the police whenever someone is 9 minutes overdue!!

Maybe they looked over the route they knew she would have taken before they called?
If you know your child is walking from point A to point B, then you know when she should arrive home.
It wouldn't have taken me long to quickly check the route for peace of mind.
If I didn't see her I would have called the police too.
But if she was much later than expected, wouldn't her parents have called the home where she'd spent the night first, to ask if and when she'd left? If so, and if she went more or less straight home from there, she wouldn't have been more than 9 minutes past ETA when they called police. I haven't followed the details of the case closely, but something's odd here. Perhaps Carlie had gone off somewhere on her own steam, instead of heading straight home, and was finally headed in the direction of home again when the camera caught her abduction. The timing would still be a heck of a coincidence, though,
