http://www.local6.com/news/2814882/detail.html There was one specific lead Gooding discussed. He said officials received information from the Kissimmee Police Department that there was an incident reported where a man was allegedly walking at 5:50 a.m. Tuesday morning in an area and he "seized" a car.
The witness said a man and a female were struggling near the car and that the female fit Carlie's description.
"They struggled and the female ran away from the male. The male tried to grab her to bring her back," Gooding said.
The witness wasn't sure of what he saw, but he then went home and saw the Amber Alert on TV and realize that struggle could be related to the Amber Alert.
I sure hope that was her. That means she may be alive, please G-d, still.
I think on the video, though it's hard to see, his nametag could have had 3 letters. I agree that he is not 10 inches taller than she is, although she may have been wearing some low platform shoes, perhaps - her feet look a little clunky. Poor little thing, she sure doesn't look 11.
Her mother must feel so GUILTY about now, having let her walk alone to her friend's house. I think my kids will have to have driver's licenses before I let them go anywhere alone... What a world.
