Found Safe TN - SLP, 14, Madisonville, Monroe County, 13 Jan 2019 #2 *ARREST*

[Choochoobella]

I'm still crying tears of joy and disbelief as I make my way through all of your good news posts! Sooooo grateful!

One other thing I forgot to mention about the discussion with the detective on Nancy Grace's show today was that he emphasized that they have been doing a lot of talking with people who knew the family in Georgia. Maybe something was found out there?

RP and CP have only been married for 32 weeks.

ETA: In the press conference, they said RP has been SP's adopted father for a few years. Maybe the post of RP and CP's marriage 32 weeks ago was a repost?

S.P. you have done all of us proud!

I can only hope that her bravery will inspire any other child in a similar situation to also remove themself safely from a horrible environment and get help.

Didn’t see this one coming, not after that revelation about what her father was up to.

I went from hopeful, to “she’s probably dead,” to pleasantly shocked, in a matter of hours.

What a freaking roller coaster! I got up to read there was an arrest. Then there wasn't an arrest. The next time I heard "arrest" I didn't even believe it and that one was real! LOL
MOO

Yesss, another brave girl that saves herself. May life treat you right from now on, young SP!

I listened to the presser. Sheriff stated that there COULD be more charges of multiple people. It appears she was fleeing a bad home situation. The father was arrested for raping her. She is the victim. He (father) could face more charges. Tip was given to the FBI.

Siblings are "safe" in answer to the question as to whether they are in DCF custody.

He is not involved in her being a runaway or missing. (Which I took to mean he didn't help her leave or take her away).

I wonder who the multiple people involved are.
Is it confirmed that she actually ran away? Was she with any of the other people involved, or were people protecting her? If the latter, why didn't they come forward sooner?
Did LE know where she was all along and just not reveal it?

 

[Steelslady]

Ha! Me too. That’s two in a row, both with Wisconsin connections.

I think someone was helping her out (rescue maybe?).

Can’t wait to hear the specifics.

Maybe she got the courage to come forward after hearing the step <modsnipped name variation> was arrested?

I am so so happy she is alive!

 

[Cyber sleuth]

This is the best possible outcome for this situation. I am so happy she is safe. I hope she never has to live in fear again. What a smart, brave girl.

Wonderful!!

Excellent news!

 

[oviedo]

Didn’t see this one coming, not after that revelation about what her stepfather was up to.

I went from hopeful, to “she’s probably dead,” to pleasantly shocked, in a matter of hours.

I think that includes most of us.

Yes I prepared for the worst

Gah, it feels like an emotional roller coaster for sure. I swear I need a glass of wine now.

 

[Sleuthster]

Awesome news that she was found alive. My heart breaks for what she went through. So glad she got out.

• SP found at a residence in Wisconsin
• She has no relationship to the person in WI
• Randall is SP's adopted father
• SP is the victim in the rape charge
• Investigation ongoing, something about multiple charges...?
• They think she left of her own will

Thanks Pommy! You always keep us so informed!

I’m glad I was too busy to follow today, it’s all wrapped up before I even have a chance to worry about it.

 

[Sleuthster]

This was not how I thought it would end but I'm so glad I was wrong.

 

[wary]

As someone said, upthread: I’ve never been so happy to be wrong, in all my life!
