Chapter 1: What happened to Karlie Guse?
Hey guys, my name is Rachel and welcome to my channel. So the case that we are going to be going over today is a pretty recent one and
I've been following it for the past couple of months, but the family actually just recently went on Dr. Phil and we got a lot from their time talking to Dr. Phil. So I thought that I would go ahead and make a video about it. Now, I feel like this is one of those cases where after hearing all of the information and the theories, you tend to believe one pretty strongly.
And I really do think that depending on how you look at it, it really does look like it all points in a certain direction depending on how you interpret it. But for me, there are so many things that I think could have happened. I really don't know what to think about this case. It is still a very recent case and it's still ongoing, so with that being said, let's just get right into today's case.
Today, we are going to be talking about the unsolved disappearance of Carly Gousset. Carly Gousset is a 16-year-old girl who went missing from Chalfont, California on October 13th, 2018. She is 5'7", she is 115 pounds, she has blue eyes and dark blonde hair. Carly has been missing for about six months now.
Carly Gousset lived in Chalfont, California with her dad, Zach Gousset, her stepmom, Melissa Gousset, and her two younger brothers. Carly's mother, Lindsay Farley, and Carly's father, Zach, got divorced when she was about two years old. Now, until she was six years old, she actually lived with her mother, but then her mother decided to move to Nevada.
So when she was six, she actually decided to move in with her father because, you know, Nevada was pretty far from where she lived. She didn't want to have to move schools. She wanted to stay by her friends. So she just decided to stay in California with her dad. By all accounts, Carly had a very good childhood growing up. She maintained a pretty good relationship with her parents and her stepmom.

Chapter 2: What were Carly's last known activities?
She had a lot of friends growing up. She did well in school and was liked by pretty much everyone she knew. She was described as happy, sweet, funny, and popular. Lindsay said that her and Carly were best friends and told each other everything. They really did have a very close relationship despite Lindsay living so far away.
In the beginning of October of 2018, Carly moved away from her house in Bishop to a new town about 10 miles away in Chalfont, which is where she was living at the time that she went missing. Now, Carly wasn't really bothered by this because it's not like she had to move schools or anything like that, so it wasn't really that big of a deal to her.
Melissa, her stepmother, said that she was still the happy kid that she always had been. Now, on Friday, October 12th, 2018, Carly asked her parents if she could go to her high school's football game, and of course they said yes, so she went. However, she didn't actually end up going to the high school football game, and instead she went to a party with her boyfriend, Donald.
Now around 8pm, Melissa texted Carly to ask her if she needed a ride home and at first she said no. But then she quickly changed her mind and actually called Melissa to ask her to come pick her up immediately because she wasn't feeling well and as she was kind of driving she asked her not to hang up the phone. She seemed very urgent, like she needed to be picked up right then and there.
She told Melissa that she was at the back of Highlands, which is a mobile home park. Melissa said okay she's on her way and tried staying on the phone but they didn't have the greatest service so the call dropped.
She called back and eventually got a hold of Carly again but at this point she was no longer at Highlands and she was actually about a mile away running down the street on Dixon Street with her phone in her hand. When Melissa arrived and Carly hopped in the car, Melissa said that Carly seemed kind of frantic and agitated. She asked Carly why she needed to be picked up right away.
And this is when Carly told Melissa that they had been smoking weed at the party. She said she was sorry. She said, please don't be mad. And she just wanted to go home. Now, like I said, Carly was acting very frantic and
paranoid and melissa was really confused why she was acting this way because apparently carly had smoked pot before so it's not like this was the first time she smoked it's not like this could have been some bad reaction some people do have bad reactions to pot it's very possible but in this case it didn't seem likely because she had smoked pot before and never had this kind of reaction
Melissa said Carly was acting extremely erratically and it actually took her 15 minutes just to calm her down a little bit. Melissa was still pretty confused and concerned, but she did not think that her physical health was in danger. She didn't think this was urgent enough to take Carly to the emergency room or anything like that because she still seemed pretty aware.
