Detective Carter

She told her mom she got to her friend's house safe, and that was around 7, 19 p.m.

Later that night, approximately 9.40ish p.m., Susanna's mom starts calling Susanna and asking her to come home because it's getting late.

You were going to go pick her up.

Susanna's mom reached out for Susanna to be like, hey, where are you?

And she texted her and texted her and texted her.

Susanna, do you want me to go for you?

Please.

Because Susana's mother was not able to get in touch with her, she reached out to Esmeralda and her family.

She called me asking if Susana was at my house.

Susana had actually never come over there.

Of course, that's my best friend, so I will back her up.

I told her that Susana was leaving while I was able to get enough time to get a hold of Susana.

Initially, Esmeralda, being a teenage friend, was trying to cover for Susana.

Susana's mother recalls talking to Esmeralda's mother who told her Susana was never there.

So mom at that point is worried and like, hey, why was my daughter not where she said she was?

I remember getting a call from my mom like around

9 or 10 p.m.

at night, and she was just asking me if I've heard from Susanna or if I had talked to her, because she wasn't answering her phone.

Susanna's mother was continuously contacting people, trying to figure out where Susanna might be.

She had a very good relationship with her sisters and her mom, so that was not characteristic if she did not get in contact with her mom.
