According to the Frisco police affidavit, the girl apparently met Carden at a hotel Jan. 11. She told her parents she was staying the night at a friend’s house, but then the friend showed up looking for her. After being unable to reach her, the girl’s father pulled her cellphone records and found a frequently used number that he didn’t recognize. The girl confirmed when she came home that the number was Carden’s, the report states. The father went to Frisco police on Jan. 13 because of the frequency of calls and his daughter’s suspicious actions that night. He told police it appeared his daughter had deleted all messages involving Carden from her phone.​

​

With the parents’ permission, police did a forensic exam on the phone. They recovered numerous communications, including texts, between Carden and the girl about having sex as early as October. The communications also detailed plans for getting a hotel room on Jan. 11. Police say they obtained a copy of the receipt for the hotel bill that Carden paid that day.​
