I was in my later teens during the end of the, 60s and early70s. !y preference at parties was girly type drinks. However, I went to a friends house and stupidly he had a friend who came over with some mushroom tea. It was the first and LAST time I ever had anything like it. As soon as it hit me I thought everyone around me was evil and saw them that way. I remember I went home and crawled under the covers until morning. It was awful. Listening to what Carlie was saying and how she was acting, it brought back this memory that I had so long tried to put out of my mind. It sounded EXACTLY like me that night. I definitely believe she was on a psychedelic and not meth.

It costs a lot of money to go to the ER in the U.S., even with insurance. This wouldn't be the first time a teen took a drug and was delusional/hallucinating. It would be totally normal for a parent to assume it would wear off with a night of sleep. Someone on drugs or very drunk might say a lot of things. That doesn't mean you would just do what they say.

[@Jewelz_Ann]

Parents failed and definitely should have call 911 immediately or took her to the hospital, imo.

[@juliannajones6016]

Agreed! The whole time the parents were describing their daughter’s erratic behavior, I was thinking, “Take her to the ER! Call an ambulance 🚑 “!

[@AwtaMadik]

This case reminded me of a coworker at my old job about 10 years ago who had a mental episode. It was scary but I remember the one thing that stuck with me was how dilated his pupils were. He didn't make any sense and had extreme paranoia and anxiety, I thought he was on drugs. On the way to the hospital he even tried to escape the ambulance making it onto the highway. He eventually go help but never came back to work It turned out he had a severe mental condition that ran in his family.

[@angypangy8513]

That's is so sad,I hope he's doing well now 🙏🏼🕊️ this is such a sad story 😥

[@mariapilarme]

He was in drugs that’s why the pupils were dilated. The drugs could make any condition mental worse so it’s not good idea to experiment with drugs just in case.

[@graceyoung3771]

I have a longtime friend that years ago went through the exact same thing. The police thought she was on drugs by looking at her pupils but she was going through a squizophrenic breakdown. Weird what the mind and body will do.

[@MusicInMotion_67]

Was it Schizophrenia? This runs in families.

[@lorimullen3680]

You don't think of taking a child to the hospital for the sake of their personal reputation concerning drugs. I believe they truly felt she was going to be fine. They knew she was safe, never thinking she would walk out the front door. I heard a kind voice from her step mom talking with her on the recording. We never know the danger of a situation until something happens. The step mom was probably exhausted. They were up late dealing with a lot plus have two smaller children. My heart goes out to all in this story. All parents are dealing with a society of issues that our world has never had so much stimulation & illegal drugs & teen life is so much more complicated this days than ever before.

[@SmollestLifter]

I’m no medical expert but I do know, two people actually, who took psychedelics without knowing their families had a history of schizophrenia. When that’s in your cards and you touch psychedelics it very often ends in mental breaks

[@kayleeg1019]

This happened to me from LSD. Every single thing she said and did. Poor baby girl she needed help. If she would have been taken to ER they would have given her downers to calm her and she then could have slept it off. I have a feeling now, Karlie is no longer with us.💔

[@mariahconklin4150]

Oh wow that's that bad? Yeah I get really bad intrusive thoughts on shrooms have to be careful with those to never had LSD and don't want to try it.

[@amodernalchemist432]

@kaylee this is definitely a psychedelic "bad trip" and it wasn't *just* mary jane that they smoked. Large pupils are an indication of using stimulants or psychedelics. No different than a psychotic episode of mania and paranoia. It could have been one of those new analogs that they use nowadays or perhaps that "spice" crap...synthetic mary jane or whatever they call it. I have a feeling someone kidnapped her when she was all alone, staring at the stars. A creeper probably asked her if she needed help, she said yes and that was it.

[@DakotaLily]

Oof - this makes me so sad - soooo true - yes - dilated pupils is very much a psychedelic response. And yes - Xanax would have stopped the trio and allowed her to sleep it off instead of her running off into the desert. So sad. 😑. It seems unlikely this is from smoking weed. Especially so prolonged. Her panic is eerie. I hate that some are blaming the parents. They stayed with her and clearly thought they were keeping watch over her. She left/escaped. Even just an accidental accidnet with a vehicle is a possibility of she was walking and running erratically down a major highway in the early morning. Sadly I don’t think this girl is going to be found. Also - eerie how people even in right or wrong states of mind- know when the end is coming.

[@samantham9185]

I’ve gotten like this after smoking weed. After not smoking for months and then taking a bong rip. Drank milk and eventually fell asleep and woke up fine. After seeing her with her eyes open though is definitely when I would have just taken her to the hospital for downers as you said, I do agree with that. Or just simply taking her when she was asking to be taken!

[@DroneStrike1776]

Don't do drugs, duh.

[@heynormars]

She really needed professional help at the time she called her step mother to pick her up. She should’ve been heavily monitored until psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations or delusional thoughts had completely resolved. Why wouldn’t you call 911 the second your daughter even mentions calling 911 if something were to happen. Isn’t that a clear sign something is already happening? If my daughter mentioned having demonic thoughts, strong emotional mood swings, asking not to be alone, restlessness…. Personally I would not be able to sleep.

Her boyfriend seemed VERY likely to me to be involved. His baby mama died 2 years after of an overdose and he now has the 2 children, and his current girlfriend just died of an overdose. The police said they believe my friend's daughter died of an overdose. At first they said case closed but after a big stink, they said they are going to wait for tips. She was bones when she was discovered. Her name was Chelsea Poorman from Saskatoon Saskatchewan. She died visiting her sister in Vancouver. Global did a story on her, and there are a few KZbin videos. The boyfriend was never mentioned. So much information is always left out.

The risk of psychosis and other mental illnesses being brought about early or at all by cannabis use needs to be discussed more. I work in the mental health field and it is incredibly common, especially in teens and easily adults. Once psychosis is brought out with cannabis use, it typically happens with each instance of use. A big risk factor is a history of mental illness in the family.

[@Deadrum]

Yeah, having witnessed this kind of thing in person when it happened to someone else, I do feel it’s at least common enough that it should be talked about more. I don’t want to fear monger or anything (personally have never had THIS much of an issue after smoking), it’s still clearly very serious.

from personal experience and being a small girl around 110 lbs and a habitual pot smoker since the age of 16. i also have mental issues, severe generalized anxiety and depression and a few others, once your body is used to THC you usually don’t have any issues, however if you’ve gone weeks without it and you have none leftover in your system, a bong hit is an instant shock to my mental state. i’m had my fair share of delusions and panic attacks triggered from smoking more than my body could handle after a T break. she was probably used to hitting a bong and didn’t consider how long her body has been withdrawing from it. any underlying mental issues could’ve greatly worsened the situation.

[@phoenixmistertwo8815]

Perhaps if she decided to smoke K9, that synthetic weed.. Now that is a whole new beast compared to real mary jane... I am an experienced user for psychedelics, and I was almost put in the dirt smoking that K9 from a bong.. It will feel like a bad tripp, until it wears off an hour later, and in that hour, your heart rate will be so pronounced that you will see your chest moving with the beats. Based on the descriptions of how she was acting though, and the length of time she was in her mental state... I would deduce that she was on acid.

[@laurieclarkson9180]

Annie Elise did a FANTASTIC job of covering this case! I've seen several people cover this and this is by far, the best I've seen. Good job!

[@maritzasimmons1649]

This case is so sad. I always told my kids if they ever felt weird anywhere they were out with friends just to call me. No questions asked I’ll just come to the rescue. These are terrible parents, there is no way that I wouldn’t take my kid to the ER if this was happening to them. If my kid would even say they feel they can’t catch their breath I would go to the ER…. My kids are the most valuable things on earth for me. Praying for this beautiful girl, wherever she is, may God hold her in His hands, here on earth or in heaven.

[@susiecraddock3147]

Love Annie Elise so much, she's by far my favorite true crime podcaster and KZbinr, I just love how she brings the stories to life and put focus on the victims

[@dazedanddark]

love seeing Annie on this channel. spreading awareness on multiple platforms is such a great opportunity 🩶

[@Purplepuddles0810]

I have to admit I was so confused! So happy with the collaboration!

I’m not she makes the content / news un watchable

[@stephaniemcgettigan5822]

Annie’s the best. 😊

[@TrueCrimeNerdAbby]

I was so confused clicking on the thumbnail then having Annie pop up. You go girl!! Love listening to you tell the victims stories.

[@kriskros38]

i would love to spread you on any platform.

[@Tornado_Grammy]

My husband is a long haul trucker and he and I were driving up near where this happened. I remember seeing a big banner with her on it. I then went on a deep dive myself and looked into this! Such a bizarre and sad story. Thx Annie and I enjoyed seeing you on The Dad Challenge!

[@lindacolon2074]

I’ve smoked many times and had experiences similar to this. I don’t believe the weed was ever laced. But I would feel so paranoid and believe everyone was going to kill me-even my closest friends and family. I think the only reason I never explicitly told anyone was because I believed if I admitted out loud that I thought they would kill me, that it was more likely to happen because they knew I was aware of their plan. I hope she’s found some day

[@CarrieAkins]

I went on a date with a guy once and we smoked and after, I kept having a feeling like he might kill me because he kept saying i reminded him of his ex and he hated her. I was so paranoid, I left with his friend.

[@FriendOfJules]

The weird part to me is the sustained paranoia. Weed paranoia doesn’t last that many hours, generally.

[@IFChi1904]

Stop smoking that poison.

[@Blahhhbish]

This same thing happened to me at that age. Very similar situation, the people i smoked with didnt get sick but i did. I didnt smoke as often as they did. I was terrified for hours. Couldnt feel my own body, would close my eyes to relax and start seeing things rapidly..took hours to feel normal. It was like watching a movie around me, and being on the outside. It was a 3 ft bong and i only took one hit.

[@irishhoopers6899]

In some ways it's good to have such a reaction because it means you'll never ever be tempted by drugs ever again. I'm glad it passed and you were okay once it wore off.

[@budgiebug8097]

Exact same happened to me when I was 16. Never smoked again after that.

[@TristanRussell-b1j]

This has happened to me too!

thank you for covering this. been following this case since she first went missing

[@machinegunkimmy]

Love seeing you on this network! So happy for you. This is great reporting.

[@melissaritchie2372]

When my friend was first found to be schizophrenic, it happened like this. We were 18 and he was totally fine and normal one up until one day at work. We found him talking to the wall and terrified of someone coming after him. He disappeared for a week and came back still claiming we were all out to get him...didn't trust his parents or anyone. He's medicated now and much better, but this reminded me so much of his first episode.

[@kathleenmckeithen118]

I just found you, Annie Elise and have subscribed. You told this story and the surrounding facts so well that I am interested in listening to you more. I agree with you about marijuana induced psychosis and that is what I thought of as I listened to what she was expressing, and going through. As you said, though, that leaves the matter of what happened to cause her to go missing very much up in the air. I hope closure is found for her loved ones. Thank you for this great video!

[@Mr.Westery]

[@pmin9955]

This happened to me. When you smoke a lot then quit and start back up there is a syndrome where it makes you soooo sick. It was the worst feeling ever. I passed out few seconds after the first hit then was in a parking garage for 6 hrs vomiting nothing and hallucinating worse than when i took acid. its so weird i forget what it called but this happens to a lot of people

[@dreamzofhorses]

How about, i don't know, not taking drugs at all.

[@Backdraft47]

​@@CrystaliaV you must not drink alcohol then.

[@CrystaliaV]

@@Backdraft47 i personally don't.

[@Angelicaremy]

This sounds like a psychotic episode that her parents didn't take seriously.

[@vidabacevicius9567]

The parents should of taken Karlie to the hospital ASAP! Since Karlie was in such distress isn't that just a natural thing to do?

[@SugiesCookies]

This story is bizarre. Something is missing or the girl just tripped out so hard that she left the house in some sort of trance and was then picked up by a stranger or something. How does someone just disappear like this?!

[@joas3324]

I think its her parents fault

[@aleeah3532]

such lovely parents, they wanted to avoid getting in trouble as her guardian and avoided getting her help smh

[@jonw7214]

Who cares what Dr. Phil thinks? The police and FBI should be going over the recordings, not TV grifters.

[@YouTuber2003LA]

Sativa- upper, Indica- downer, Hybrid- both I’ve been through Bishop so many times and every single time I think of her. I’ve seen her poster up in the gas station, and around the area every time.

[@adigitalwarrior1929]

One thing to remember, is that highway 395 that goes very close to that town that goes all with all the way down into Bishop, is well known for young ladies going missing and that may be another avenue.

[@86BuzzSaw]

This same thing happened to one of my friends. Had been away for the weekend with another friend and they had been smoking weed and he freaked out and just randomly left. No one knew where he went, and he turned up at my door 3 days later. When he came in, he was telling me to lock the doors and windows because people were trying to kill him. Turned out he had spent all weekend in a hotel room with his back against the door to stop imaginary people getting in and killing him. He was later diagnosed with schizophrenia triggered by the weed.

[@firefly2508]

The stepmom's statement: "I see all your faces popping up and it makes me want to cry, I love you guys"...stood out to me. She went from distraught mode to being distracted easily with the attention she was getting. A very odd switch in mood. She didn't describe very well how the girl was dressed the last time she saw her, but instead described her as "adorably cute" and having "a cute little nose and a great smile"? And the interview and reaction from the biological mother...wow...the contrast was like day and night.

[@brennaobrian6001]

same thing happened to me , i was taken to the hospital right away and put into therapy. i thank God for that. i know i wouldn’t have been here today if i didn’t get taken to the hospital right away.

[@MeltedPearls]

The stepmother can't react like her mother because she's not. The urgency and pain of the real mother is evident. This is such a sad case. The one footprint is really suspicious, also. How could there be only one? I live in the desert and the sand is also dusty and fine. I don't see how conditions could exist that produce one footprint but no others. It seems impossible.

[@missy22821]

I am having surgery today on my shoulder and you juat made My day hope my shoulder surgery is good send good vibes please 🙏

KUDOS to her parents especially precious Melissa. Sending LOVE to them ALL

[@bethanybergeson4192]

The legalization of marijuana has greatly contributed to the mass marijuana psychosis that we are seeing now. Back in the 60's and 70's the THC content maxed out under 10%. Today, the dispensaries are selling it with 97% THC.

[@dwarfchron801]

I couldnt imagine having a friend or family going through this and not calling 911 or taking them myself. WTF

[@CityBohoGirl]

How would she know what she was wearing if she previously stated she wore only a tshirt and underwear to bed?

[@MrsBees]

So you think your teenage daughter was slipped something or smoked something that was laced and having a psychiatric break and your first instinct isn't to take them to the ER? Guess I just parent differently. Also what parent allows their child to put a pass code (that they don't know) on their phone? That's a huge no no! These parents seemed to be trying to be these kids' friends instead of their parents.

[@NurseJhonna]

Annie is the best. 🎉 been wanting her to cover this for years. So glad she did!

[@mnmom723]

She has covered this before. I watched it!

[@NurseJhonna]

when?@@mnmom723

[@coryjohnson2486]

Hold up. I recognize this girl… doesn’t she have her own channel?? Did she get recognized and hired by “Law & Crime Network” because of her channel??!! If so, that’s AWESOME!! Love her narration!! 👏🏻 👏🏻

[@lilys7431]

Yes she has her own channel 10 to Life, think the law and crime gig is within the last year. Also has a podcast.

[@trailrunner925]

Looking at my niece's bedroom and granddaughter's bedroom when that age, you'd be hard pressed to find the floor for all the clothes tossed around. Also, the parents inability to answer Graces questions could be nothing more than lack of vocabulary to articulate body language nuances.... a furtive glance, a sideways look, a vacant stare.... sometimes people "sense" these body language behaviors without having the ability to verbally describe it.

[@ZacchaeusNifong]

Back in the day, I took a break from smoking herb for a while and then smoked again. I had this same experience. Absolutely tremendous paranoia, feelings of helplessness and deep levels of anxiety. It was regular weed too. But it triggered something in me. I haven't smoked but just a handful of times since then. I hope this girl is found...

[@nadagabri5783]

This is a really exhausting story. Wow.

[@tiannaschommer4565]

Go Annie Elise!!! I've been a subscriber for a very long time you go girl look at you look at you shine girl shine! your hard work has paid off get them subscriber! Love u! U earned it. Credit due! 10 to life

[@christinalemarr]

Right?! Go Annie Elise!!!

[@kateking2485]

I REALLY reckon that Carly was slipped something else without her knowing because of her dilated eyes and extreme paranoia and behaviour and her parents should have definitely taken her to hospital !!! Also, was the blood found by the dogs tested? I find it hard to fathom that DNA wasn’t found on the panties !

[@mrneveradullmoment]

I'm revisiting your page, and your microphone is sounding SO much better. Great quality to go along with the great content.

The not knowing seems to keep families in an even worse state of limbo than those whove lost loved ones suddenly but have answers. I always hope for the best but rarely believe these women are still alive after this long.

[@reynaolvera7526]

I went to a rave in California many years ago and someone wandered off into the desert and was later found dead.

[@kriskros38]

oversexed or overdosed?

[@realisticrae6946]

There was video to this case. It was brief, but I've seen it. The girl was crying and trying to explain herself. The step mother was being condescending and saying stuff like look at you. She was terrified and was desperate. Where's the video footage now? The way step mother was acting, I don't see the girl asking to sleep with her. She wanted help and this lady acted like a mean girl regardless of guilt. Her dad is reading like you would need to in order to say what he said. It should come naturally.

[@TheSolongsidekick]

No, there isn't. You just have no problem confidently "remembering" things incorrectly.

[@HandbagDiva]

Does anybody find it odd that the step-mom said the footprint outside looked like the kids’s but later had to “ deduce “ that she must be wearing the missing vans?

[@kendrainglis5115]

My brother has had severe bipolar manic episodes that sound like hers and the first time he ever had one it was triggered by weed, just weed. It wasn't laced with anything and he was a regular MJ user. But one day it just turned. Marijuana is a major trigger with mental illness, which is why I don't think it's as safe as people think it is. I wish it didn't exist altogether. I feel for this girl and this family. Praying they find some answers.

[@TabAncho-cp4xi]

Yes, absolutely, but it helps people too. So I'm glad it exists

[@ouivalerie]

There's people that can't handle weed and not all weed is the same and the party she was originally at with the weed could have had more than one type of weed or some of it was laced. But it's not likely someone is up all night and sneaks out at 5:30 deliberately leaving the cell phone behind and not even cold enough to take a coat. Sounds like meth, it conquers the heat and cold, and she wanted her next fix so bad that she was making sure nobody could stop her by tracing the phone to some drug lords gangster place. They may have kept they young beauty addicted on purpose, one of the gang lives nearby, and the mind is going to want more drugs not tell the truth about what's really going on.

[@AmberNikky]

That exact thing happened to me when I was around 16, I quit smoking weed and when I picked it back up just ONE TIME about a year later, I was so psychologically distressed I felt like my dad was going to kill me and hid under my blankets for the entire night. I believe she ran off scared and succumbed to the elements.

[@nighthawktt]

Excellent reporting 👏 Thank you ⚘ Melissa and Zac could have done better first off to help Karlie Let JUSTICE be served for her🙏

[@erinsmith1819]

i bet they live with so much guilt that they didn’t take her to the hospital or call 911

[@cjdodgeprimecrime]

She had a psychotic episode. A person's brain is not fully developed at age 16 and not able to handle certain substances that they use at this age, and there's no telling how often this happens. She should've been taken to the hospital at some point.

[@houseofsolomon2440]

It definitely sounds like some significant break with reality. She may have gotten into a situation where her obvious vulnerability or distressed state was taken advantage of in a foul play situation.

[@cjdodgeprimecrime]

Parents sound irresponsible and sketchy af. Step mom feels like an act

[@melsafken764]

TY I had the same feeling.

[@user-hi4ts3fi7n]

It is possible that she did have a marijuana psychosis! New years day 2015, about 2 am, my son had been out smoking weed all new year's eve. He came home talking crazy and his wife called me scared so I went over about 8 pm. When I got there it was obvious something was dreadfully wrong. He never assaulted her or me but he took her cell phone from her and twisted it in half. At that point I called 911. The police and paramedics came and were so gentle with him. They handcuffed him and took him to the hospital. He was in the mental ward for 1 week. The doctor said the only thing in his system was marijuana and he had so much in his system that it was a marijuana psychosis. They had to give him an anti-psychotic drug to bring his mind back! The doctor said if he never smoked again, his brain would recover. However the next year he smoked it again and he has not recovered! His entire personality is different! Where he was kind and gentle and generous, now he is mean and entitled! And crazy! And they want to legalize marijuana! That is a crime against humanity! Karli's experience sounds just like my son's! A marijuana psychosis!
