It was out of gas. Did she leave it running?
Casey knew that car stank. She told her friend Amy that her dad must have hit an animal. She told someone else (I believe it was Lee), that a couple of squirrels climbed up inside the frame and died.
She knew.
Probably. She didn’t want anyone to get in and drive it.
What better way to insure a tow. NO GAS. Sure couldn’t call DADDY. Ofcourse if she had and he smelled the Car, Maybe CAYLEE would have been found sooner. I seriously doubt ole Cindy could tell him to let HER take care of CASEY THEN. His only questions would be “WHERE THE HELL IS CAYLEE”
