Carli and her 4-year-old daughter’s father were expected to meet to exchange custody around 7 p.m. Sunday near Juana’s Grill at Navarre Beach, local news station WEAR-TV reported. Carli’s father then received a text message around 10 p.m. from the young woman’s phone, stating that she was having issues with her phone and her car, according to the report. It was the last anyone has heard from her.
