In subsequent investigations,
detectives obtained surveillance footage
of Carly walking down the sidewk
alone Prior to arrival at a residence.
She was constant conscious
and speaking with paramedics.
When she was transported to U A,
detectives were able to obtain
a brief statement from her prior
to being treated and released.
During the statement,
she told detectives that while
traveling down the Interstate
she saw a baby walking down the
side of the road and called 911.
She started when she got out of
her vehicle to check on the chi,
a man came out of the trees and mumbled
that he was checking on the bab.
She claimed that the man then
picked her up and she screamed.
She stated he then made her go over a fence.
She claims he then forced her ia
car and the next thing she remembers is
being in the trailer of an 18 Wheeler.
She stated the male was with a female,
however,

only hearing her voice.
She also told detectives she
could hear a baby crying.

hair with a big bald spot on the back.
She said she was able to escape
the 18 Wheeler and fled on foot,
only be captured again and

She also had a tail in her shir.
Detectives also needed that she

Detectives did not press for additional
information in this interview.
And made plans to speak with her in detail.
After giving her time to rest,
detectives continue analyzing
data from Carly's cell phone tht
was left behind at the scene.
We enlisted the help of the United States
Secret Service and conducting this analysis,
part of what data includes sevel
Internet searches and the days leading
up to their disappearance that I
think are very relevant to thise
on July 11th at 7:30 AM the ter.

3:00 AM the day of her disappearance.
The term How to take money froma

the day of her disappearance.

Birmingham to Nashville was conducted
with a departure date of July 1.

a search for the movie Taken,
a film about a production was conducted.
There were two searches later
to Amber Alerts on a computer at
Carter's place of employment,
including one regarding the
maximum age of an Amber Alert.
There are other searches on
Carly's phone that appeared to
shed some light on her mindset,
but our respect for her privacy.
We will not be releasing the cot
of those searches at this time.
We've asked interview Carly a second time,
but have not been granted that request.
As you can see,
there are many questions left to be answered,
but only Carly can provide those answers.
What we can say is we've been ue
to verify most of Carly's initil
statement made to investigators
and we have no reason to believ.
That there is a threat to the public safety
related related to this particular case.
Thank you very much.
