I believe that because of her age, she wasn't interrogated. Now she's probably lawyered up. She'll deny everything, including any "pre-planning", no matter what the guy says. She'll plead guilty only to leaving the scene of a crime and any lesser charges they throw at her.
Otherwise, she'll be mute as a rock.

THat didn't help, but honestly--it wouldn't matter. What did Carol Fugate look like?
She could have looked like any number of things. One of the reasons these things are shocking is because of how the ones you don't suspect (and from her activities, youth group, etc one would not immediately suspect this.)
Wonder if something of the 'bad boy' thing appealed to her.
They just had a movie about the killings on cable yesterday.
I guess dry/black humor isn't as popular as I thought. Too bad, I prefer to think that its the highest order of humor. ;)
IM's re another girl Ludwig was wrapping things up with as he was involved with Kara ---

"OK, raise your hand if you didn’t make any silly boneheaded decisions when you were fourteen."
We waited until we were 18, and then I married him. But I didn't have him execute my parents in the process, though they were ready to shoot ME, that's for sure. After six years, I got tired of raising him, and I split.
Kara's life is over for all intents and purposes. Her siblings are going to turn on her like rabid dogs if it's proven she was in on the slayings. And they probably will too, even if not.
His statement to police was that he couldn't find her after the murders and was driving off when Kara came running down the road and jumped in his car and announced she wanted to get as far away as possible, get married and "start a new life."
For starters this is not what I referred to when I posted. Sure, kids can get mixed up in things without grasping repercussions. That's not what happened here.
This girl ran off with the guy who KILLED HER PARENTS. Where's the grief? Where's the outrage? Where's the anger? Where's the loyalty and at least some sign of love for her parents?
Never mind the repercussions of running away with a killer. What about the people who raised you? You leave them to lay bleeding?
This girl is as close to evil as one can get without being just that. That's a strong word and it is also the truth. No one with a pin head of good in them would do what she did.
It's a dangerous thing to be as cold as she is.
I would have not believed that anyone could do this at 14, much less do it myself. In my household Mr. and Mrs. Cleaver were violently divorced when I was 11. My mother threatened to kill herself in front of me more times than I can count. Both parents married others again, no less than 7 times. Brother ran away etc. etc. etc.
Not exactly the Cleaver household.
You still couldn't compare me to her to say the least.
We were just talking about this on another thread...I am now 60, but I can still remember all the mistakes I made when I was 14...I was a bratty, silly girl who wanted her way all the time...and I was crazy over boys, especially the 'bad' boys...my parents sure had a time with me...my dad was always hauling me into the house, and telling me in no uncertain terms, why such and such as boy was not welcome in our house, and not welcome to date me....oh, I carried on so, I am sure...but my dad was strict, and I knew deep down in my heart, he had only my best interests in mind...and I am so grateful for him...I could apologize for my bad behavior, he would dole out my punishment, eventually all was forgiven, and we went on with life...
Kara, on the other hand, cannot ask her parents for their forgiveness...its going to be a difficult burden for her to bear, when she grows up a bit, ,and realizes what happened..
Where was her lawyer?
That she left willingly does not preclude the possibility that she was afraid to refuse to accompany him.
..and then there's cold blooded murder.
I think it's safe to say that most of us, if not all....haven't done the latter.
No comparison.
..hence, our answers :^)
You must be having quite the giggle as you read the responses to your post..you know...the ones who didn't realize just how sarcastic you were being!!
I made some really, really bad decisions in my life, although even a girl like me from the big, bad, big apple waited until I was 16 before I really got rolling on stupidity, but luckily none of them involved killing anyone, esp. not my parents.
He had a gun and had just shot her parents. Presumably he would have shot her and her siblings as well. The fact that she left willingly can't be held against her. And yes, she's fourteen and as dumb as they come at that age. She has to live with what she's done, her stupidity, rebelliousness, lack of sense. But she didn't shoot her parents.
Perhaps so. Since we have only news reports to go on, it is difficult to know exactly what happened.
Do we know anything about David's parents? I haven't seen them in the news.
