I wonder if the other witnesses are children, i.e. Kyron Horman case. There were kids who seemed to have seen Kyron after TH left, although that info was never really taken as fact. Perhaps these were children who say they saw her at Subway. I can't imagine a teacher seeing her go over there and not questioning it.

Media briefing scheduled for 6pm
The Nebraska State Patrol has scheduled a 6 p.m. press briefing to update reporters on the latest information concerning missing 8-year-old Karee Wilson.

The search for a missing 8-year-old girl expanded Thursday beyond this small town, where the girl was last seen.

Investigators canvassed the town of Mitchell a second time. They also focused on areas in and around Mitchell, Morrill and county canals and rivers.

“We know she did not enter the school,'' Bartling said.

The State Patrol did not issue an Amber Alert, in part because it had no evidence that the girl was abducted.

Bartling said authorities had not found any witnesses who saw Kerra get into a vehicle or walk away from the school.

She said family members have been interviewed and “completely cooperative.” They included her biological father and stepfather.

The State Patrol has used its airplane and helicopter. Local authorities used a search dog.

Officials are discouraging unofficial searches by citizens.

“I understand the frustration,” Scotts Bluff County Attorney Doug Warner said, saying that he knows efforts to put together search teams are well intentioned. “However, it is not preferred.”

A local citizen has put together a reward fund.

I think it's 7:45 in the eastern half and 6:45 in the western half.

I hope it is some one very credible. If it was an adult who did not know her then it could be mistaken identity. Lots of 8 yr olds look alike. I hope this is a real and accurate sighting. Otherwise we are going to start off on the wrong track altogether.

It just seems so odd that if she only had 5 minutes before the bell was going to ring, that she would leave the campus and go across the street. It makes me wonder if she was being bullied by the kids and that is why she did not want to wait at school. imoo

On NG they did have "Waiting on presser" at the bottom and it has been gone for a while, so maybe presser is postponed?

[rpipergirl]

As far as this whole thing on NG about not taking her in the door,when I was in 3rd grade albeit 30 years ago we had to stay outside til we were lined up and taken in. I am from a small town of 8600. Besides that I walked to school as I lived very close by. Today in the next town over you have to walk from 2 miles away and after 6th grade there are no buses period. They (the school) hate our town for providing buses because it makes them look cheap. anyway I have blogged this case and am glad the FBI is involved as I'm quite sure this is over NE heads. IMO

I wish we knew how confirmed this Subway bit is...NG said it as a fact, yet I have not heard LE say anything other than that her relatives were the last to see her.

Is this right across the street from the subway.

There are more students at our school than there are residents in her entire town. The secretary, school nurse, or an office volunteer calls within one hour if a student is absent and a parent hasn't called in. I'm not throwing stones by any means, just wanted to say from experience that it CAN be done. I wish it would have been done in this case, it might have made a difference...but here's hoping she'll be home safe very soon.

Here is a view of where Subway is in relation to the school and the north parking lot.

The statement I bolded in red seems to negate the previous reports that she was seen crossing the street to go to Subway. I wish they would get their stories straight!

[elepher50]

What we know so far if msm is correct:

Dropped off at school on the west side.
Possibly saw walking in the north parking lot of school.
Possibly seen sitting at a picnic table at the Subway.

Did not enter school.

If Kerra wanted to go to Subway why wouldn't she just cross the street and go there and not wander through the north parking lot. Doesn't really make much sense.

Just read on her FB wall:

RUMORS:

1. Her bio dad just got out of jail.
2. In the flyers searchers were giving out, there's a picture of a truck she was last seen in.

That same article also said that the biological father was cooperating. But on NG it was said that the bio father does not even know he is the father, and has no connection to her at all. --so ?

[Dee10]

Personally, I think the average 3rd grader is OK to drop off as it was at this school and not walk the child into the school or to the classroom. JMO.

Going to Subway via the north parking lot just does not make good sense to me - meaning something is off in this story....moo
