It strikes me as a bad text to speech conversion. At first I was thinking if you were in a situation with your phone where you couldn't type but could speak, you might try to send one. Not sure if Apple let's you use a voice command but I could tell my android "Ok Google, text mom, help me I've been abducted." And then tell it to send.[FONT=&]It also said that Roland's mother received a text on Sunday from missing daughters phone number saying: "Hello the owner of this phone Courtney. I am buying an iPad."

This text about the ipad is just weird - I'm guessing Brian means that the purchase part of the text isn't valid, but what is the deal with the text? Ramblings of someone having a breakdown or some bizaare game-playing by an abductor?
It kind of sounds like automated text - like a computer-generated message where it fills in the person's name?
Sometimes the speech recognition is way off. I was trying to think of words that would sound like the text but now that maybe she was seen Sunday it seems moot.
The galleria would be probably the most video surveillance heavy shopping area in Houston. Not a place you would dump a vehicle or abduct someone, I don't think, unless you were very brazen. I imagine the confusion about if she was alone or not is a result of the sheer amount of people around.
Just my 2 cents
