It was in the evening.

And the police received a phone call from a panicking mother.

Her eleven-year-old daughter was nowhere to be found. She’d fought with her friends and then disappeared.

Dispatcher: 911, what’s the location of the emergency?

Caller: My daughter is missing.

Dispatcher: Ok, has she been missing before?

Caller: No. She had a fight with her girlfriends and decided to walk home…. She’s gone. We can’t find her anywhere.

Carlie Was an Eleven Year Old

Carlie Jane Brucia was an eleven-year-old girl from Sarasota, Florida, USA.

Carlie was born to Susan Schorpen and Joe Brucia. Her parents had separated. So Carlie went to live with her mother and stepfather, Steven Kansler, in Sarasota.

She lived with her younger brother, whom she loved very much. And she maintained a healthy relationship with her father. She often went to visit him.

Her father and aunties spoiled her whenever she visited.
