" 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.

It wasn't.

I don't think it was 11 at night. I remember watching the video (in horror)

The $#&!!@ took her in broad open daylight.

Was this woman already like this when her daughter was killed? Or did she take a terrible nosedive since then? How sad.

I live in Sarasota. The talk has always been that the mother knew Smith from previous drug purchases. The talk was that Carly was supposedly picking up a package from him to bring to her mother. I hate rumors, but this one has stayed around a long time.

I always wondered why she didn't run when he tried to kidnap her. It always appeared that she knew him. Many drug dealers give packages of drugs to high school kids to deliver. They work cheap, and when caught do not go to jail as long as an adult would. The police continously was asking everyone to look for a pink back pack that Carly was wearing. It was never found.

Carly was abducted during the afternoon, on a sunny day. She was coming home from her the house of a friend. Carly never resisted Smith. If a molester wanted to randomly pick up a young girl, I doubt it would be behind a car wash that is seldom used. The walk way behind the car wash is not clearly visable. I use this car wash frequently. Until the abduction, I never knew there was a walkway in back.

I suspect that Smith knew she would be there. It was reported that he drove his car, parked it and waited for her. Horrible to say, but maybe Smith was a lover of her mother. The mother had drug problems for many years which led to her divorce. That is a fact. We will never know the truth. The mothers relationship with Smith, if any, never was brought out during the trial.
