From everything I've read the entire family is a mess just like her mother. Father, grandparents...everyone. The fact that this little girl was abducted at 11:00 pm on a school night should tell you everything you need to know.

I didn't realize it was that late on a school night.
This article reported the uncle was a repeat DUI'er
I believe you're mistaken.
Carlie was returning from a sleepover and cut through a car wash lot.
The security camera captured the killer leading her away. The scene, as I recall, was in daylight.
Yeah, but she was actually abducted on a Sunday morning walking home from a friend's house after a sleepover
I find it more sad thatr kids aren't safe walking the street in the middle of the day!!
Carlie's father and his father seemed to be OK - they were the ones who spearheaded the drive for "Carlie's Law" with Katherine Harris and others, before it got watered down and ineffective. They live in New York and administer a foundation in Carlie's name which helps other child victims.
In following some of this case, from the Amber Alert forward, but not in great detail, I got the impression that the only rumors linking Smith, the monster, with Susan Schorpen, were that they both sometimes drank at the same bar, but didn't know each other.
Last month, the evening news showed the picture of Carlie's mother being arrested. She was charged with stealing jewelery from her father's house and drug possession.
