Soooo sorry to bother you !! I have been a fan of Websleuths for awhile but just joined and want to be sure I am doing this right!! Are we allowed to post screen shots? Or are they a no? Not the everyday rumors that come with the Facebook groups but a close friend of Mariline.. i don’t want to break any rules!! Thank you!

Welcome Shannenrenee1001! Mainstream media only is allowed here, with a few exceptions allowed by Tricia.
And thank goodness for that rule...I have been reading this evening on the family’s Find Marilane late and my head hurts! So many rumors shared that the BIL has said were disproven, then the SAME posters are repeating the rumors in another thread on the page. I just can’t!

“It’s been hard,” he said, noting he and all the family are living minute to minute and that he drives around UAB every few hours hoping to see her. “I’ve been telling myself this week, ‘Come on Adam, just wake up.’ It’s a nightmare. That’s the only way I can describe it.”

The Carters’ 2-year-old daughter turns 3 a week from tomorrow (on Aug. 17), and Adam hopes Marilane will be at the birthday party. They also have two boys, 4 and 7. The children are being cared for by another family member right now.

“They miss their mom,” he said. “I want to be with my wife, and I want my kids to be with their mom.”

Marilane, a 2008 graduate of Beeson Divinity School at Samford University in Birmingham, has been missing almost exactly one week.

Leaving her home near Kansas City a little after 8 p.m. Aug. 1 to reportedly seek psychiatric care from UAB hospital where she once served as a pastoral chaplain, Marilane was last heard from the evening of Aug. 2. Adam said he talked to her at 7:45 p.m. and she sounded a little confused but she noted she was about to cross the I-55 bridge over into Tennessee.

“We’ve made that trip so many times, she’s got to know the route,” he said.

Not insensitive....you're just thinking like every other Websleuther.

Was up thinking about Marilane last night. Since she was traveling through all these different states, which agency is handling her disappearance? I'm guessing the area of concentration is still around TN?

The RCIA process is literally impossible to do in secret... part if the process involves having a Sponsor. A sponsor is a practicing Catholic. The sponsor would be encouraged to attend RCIA classes along with the catechumen (technical term for Catholic in training) they are sponsoring. This process starts in August or September each year. The meetings are weekly. St. Michael RCIA meetings are Thursdays from 7-9 pm. Typically, RCIA candidates are confirmed at Easter Vigil.. the Saturday before Easter. Catholic Churches in the area were not doing in-person Masses at that time due to Covid..Probably explaining the June confirmation.

Additionally, Catholic Churches have parish boundary maps.. Catholics are encouraged to join the parish they reside in. Her parish would have been Nativity, based only on her residence. Joining a church outside of your parish isn’t a big deal, but it requires a bit of paperwork. Whether that is true for RCIA candidates, I do not know. Perhaps she went through RCIA at the parish of her sponsor? Maybe she chose St Michael’s at random.. it is really close.

Source: I am practicing Catholic living in her neighborhood... but you can verify on St Michael’s website.

I’m a practicing life long Catholic and we joined a Catholic Church outside of your neighborhood. We live a couple of streets over from a big Catholic Church. Never were we asked why we chose to attend a church across the city. First off, it’s really not their business and second, I was raised in a small, small community (500 pop.) and my young grandsons enjoy attending Sunday mass with us.

‘She knew the way’: Desperation grows after mom of 3, driving alone, mysteriously vanishes while en route to see family [Update]

Police are continuing the search for Kansas woman, Marilane Carter, who disappeared while on her way to Alabama. Her husband says she would have never willingly left her three young children without checking in.

Has it been verified by the family that she was suffering from mental illness or just the husband? Curious. I get some creepy vibes from this guy though. MOO IMO

I just played the video of him with the sound off and just watched his facial expressions. Interesting to say the least. I'm not pointing any fingers, just making observations at this point.

 

[meanmaryjean]

Ummmm, does he have parallel scratches on his face?

 

[swedeheart]

when did he drive to jackson (mississippi) to a hospital to look for her? that's what it says in this report.

(just ignore me if it's already been discussed, i'm still catching up).

moo.

I was a little surprised to read that the children, who are no doubt pretty distressed about their mother's absence, have been placed in the care of another family member rather than staying with their father (whose presence, presumably, would be most familiar/comforting to them).

I was also struck by the quote from her husband, which--similar to others I've read from him--doesn't really seem to express fear or concern for her welfare in the same way that I would (perhaps unfairly) expect; rather, this comment is about the negative effects her absence is having on him and her children. I fully admit this is not a very charitable reading, and I am certainly not ready to suggest he is somehow involved in her absence--but something about his demeanor throughout this whole ordeal just kind of seems "off" to me.

Comments above are strictly my opinion only!

 

[Allynator]

I have another opinion to share. I'm feeling weird about how fast the website for her popped up and how it's focusing strickly on the boat sonar. Seems like it was very pre-planned. I am almost ashamed in even thinking this because how great would this a resource like this be for every missing person.

I'm thinking AC had this website resource through the church.

MOO IMO

After spending way too much time looking at them, I personally, MOO, think they look like self inflicted "sores". MOO. JMO.

I live in the Memphis area and am very familiar with the last spot her phone pinged and the river around Memphis in general. The current of the Mississippi River in this area is extraordinary strong. In the event that worse case scenario she did drive into the river (based upon the request for sonar) a car, truck anything would be swept down river swiftly. It would not have merely sunk. The Arkansas side by big river crossing (which is a walking/biking path) connected to the “old bridge” the way down to the river is through agricultural fields and not easily accessible if you don’t know your way.
On the Tennessee side, mud island is a Upscale developed community That is easier to access however the last time we went down there, the ramp you would use to launch a boat or access the water via water was closed in an attempt to deter individuals gathering (due to covid). Also on mud island there are several “blue light” cameras which I believe have license plate reader technology. I’m really confused as to this latest development for sonar.
