Was Carolyn Clayton Murdered?

Forty-seven-year-old Carolyn Clayton hasn't been heard from by her family since September 5th. She's been missing now for going on two weeks and her family is distraught, believing that something horrible may have happened to her. The circumstances surrounding this disappearance reek of suspicion, like so many disappearances like this tend to do.

The father of the missing woman is distraught while authorities in both Georgia and Tennessee are searching for her. Last Thursday the husband of Carolyn Clayton called the family claiming that the woman "was headed up for a visit." This is immediately suspicious for a couple of reasons; the father had just spoke to her the previous day and there were no mentions of a visit, and she wasn't the one who called to discuss this. Why wouldn't she contact them and say she's coming for a visit? Why would it require her husband to do so?

Police have been interviewing people regarding her disappearance, including her husband. The man admits that the two had been arguing about whether or not their kids were going to be homeschooled or put in public school. He wanted them in public schoolÂ—so that's where he put them. He claims that after he returned from enrolling the kids into a public school, she was gone. He also accused the woman of stealing $210.00 in case that belonged to their children.

So, do you buy this story? Do you think she let after an argument about her children with this man? Do you think she stole money from her own kids and abandoned them for a trip to Georgia that never came to completion? There are two theories to consider:

Why do people take have to take these things to such an extent? Why can't we live in a world where everything is nice, people are truthful, and respect each other? It's seem so frustrating that nearly everyone today is only out their for themselves, and it's stories like these that make me sick to my stomach.

Thanks for the share

Chelsea, I am sorry for your man hating ways but I am the husband this rag refers to and your story missed the facts in so many ways it is laughable. I am truly having a good chuckle about this but the answer to your preposterous story is "C" she checked herself into a facility to get some help and is fine and safe. If your 'hinky meter' is going off on this one, I would hate to ride in a car with you. Best of luck on choosing a profession which may suit your creative talents better, perhaps you should write children's fiction.

No, I am having a good chuckle over the ridiculous headline and absurb assertions and proposals contained within your imaginary work. Carolyn is quite safe and fine. I hope you accept the fact that you may not be cut out to be a journalist but may be better suited for something requiring less attention to accuracy, say government work? Also, you may wish to proof read your work. The sentence "Do you think she let after an argument about her children with this man?" would probably make sense if you used the word "left" instead of "let". I will allow you to find the rest of your mistakes in your own writing. I am not a journalist but I am thankful Carolyn is safe and sound, you should be as well. Smile, the story has a happy ending, contrary to your two "theories". Enjoy your evening.

So how come it's not being reported that she was found safe? Latest report is that they're still searching for her??

P.s. Not everything you read online is journalism and not every person who can write online are journalists, just FYI

Being reported by whom? I do not speak for the 'reporters'. I have not seen a report since yesterday stating anyone is still searching for Carolyn. As you say, not everyone who can write online are journalists, merely wannabes who seem to be unable to be happy with another's happy ending. Sleep well, I do. Best of luck to you on whatever profession you find that suits your imagination.

Chelsea, I've been trying to verify that she has been heard from and Her sisters facebook page does say she was told that she has been. Nothing in the news and as of yesterday there is still a story posted of her missing. I got a facebook email from this man (her husband) as well, he was trying to scold me for reading the news reports and having an opinion, You would think that he loved his wife and he would be thankful that she was found, instead of surfing the net to see who has said something bad about him. Listen up Mr Clayton, If Carolyn truly is safe, then I thank God above for watching over her and keeping her that way. But I don't care who you are, you had to expect this. Why take offense to it????? You can just say she say and Im a truthful man. But no you want to scold people for thinking that you could possibly have something to do with it. We sir, get a grip, This kinda stuff happens everyday. Your not special. I won't say Im sorry for thinking what I did and speaking what I did. She is safe that is all that is important to me. But, I am gonna ask Tim Guider myself. And Please MR. CLAYTON, don't waste your time responding to me. Im not gonna waste my time with you. You seem to feel your the victim here, and you are not. Carolyn was and is!!!!!!!!!

Sorry you cannot admit when you are wrong but she is fine and well and we are fine and well in north georgia where we have been the past twenty years.....grow up and learn to write something FIRST HAND as opposed to speculating and stating that your theories are the only two correct ones....*chuckles*...yes, I laugh at your pathetic life, good luck loser.

Can you please produce proof of your claims? I asked for this several months ago and you ran away. Now you return out of the blue after I've long forgotten about your existence and are behaving childishly and rudely... which does nothing to make you look believable or credible.

When you're done roleplaying with *chuckles* like this is yahoo chat in the mid 1990s, and making a public spectacle of yourself, I'm very easily reachable and more than willing to write an update to the story if you can show me that she's been found.

Honestly though, if this is something that you're dwelling on several months after-the-fact, I'd figure it'd be far easier to prove your claims than goof off in comments with insulting and childish remarks to people who forgot you existed. 0_o.. that's just my opinion though...
