John Carter interview continued.
Reporter: "She definitely wasn't going through a depression or anything like that?"
Carter: "Not at all, not at all. I mean she was geared-up to graduate, she's ready for her birthday, she's ready for, for everything. And, and ya know, we've been talking about going to Colorado for days. If she was scared she would have said something. But..."
Reporter: "And Colorado was a trip?"
Carter: "We were gonna try and move there for a couple years, ya know, kinda push ourselves out into the world and start growing up and stuff like that. It was, it was time. We're in the safety net of our parents and all that stuff and we wanted ta, we wanted ta get out. We wanted to be that way."
Reporter: "A little bit of excitement for her..(couldn't hear the rest of her response).
Carter: "So, (shrugs shoulders) pretty much that's all it was."
Reporter: "So you feel like since she was so organized and everything there has to be something suspicious..."
Carter: (Uses left hand to dig in left ear) "Absolutely, absolutely. I mean, I don't know who would do it or if anyone did it. I don't, I don't know and it's so up in the air. I just want Katelyn back."
At this point the tape is snipped. The interview continues, as this man just can't shut up.
Carter: "No, the last time I talked to her was Saturday night and then uh, (Uses left hand to dig in left ear) uh, I left at around eleven-thiry and then we were texting Saturday night about the document and stuff like that."
Reporter: "When did you go over to her townhouse to check on it-you found the dog and everything?"
Carter: "Around seven, seven-thirty."
Reporter: "The next day, Sunday?"
Carter: "Yeah because she was supposed to get back form work at around seven, seven-thirty."
Reporter: "At night?"
Carter: "Yeah."
Reporter: "OK."
Carter: "Yeah."
Reporter: "So all day long she..."
Carter: "Yeah, yeah and it..."
Reporter: "You'd been calling her, couldn't get in touch with her. I imagine that you guys are young and you text.."
Carter: "Yeah.'
Reporter: "All day long to each other."
Carter: "Yeah and I, I sent her so many texts. I mean after the good morning message I was a little worried but I, you know, I just figured she was busy, it was just a busy time for her, so." (Uses right hand to dig in left ear)
Katelyn was already grown up. She was graduating from college, with two jobs. She was responsible. It sounds like JC was the one who needed to move to grow-up. Notice that they had only been talking about moving for days, not weeks or months. I don't think Katelyn was scared to move to Colorado, she just flat-out didn't want to move there and told him so.
