I agree and I don't. They're not capable of making adult decisions, yes, but they are capable of making decisions. Not necessarily informed or rational, but they can still have free will and make choices. It just might not be a good choice. And I'm not blaming the victim by any means, but I...

It's not like I'm taking offense, because I'm not the overly sensitive type. But there are plenty of good "rednecks" that would likely take a dirtbag like JE out to the woodshed. Being from the south or having an accent is not related to criminality or ignorance. I'm from Florida where most...

I think LE needs to pay a lot of attention to any reports of stolen boats from marinas in AL, FL, VA, GA, and MI. If JE has any experience with fishing offshore, he could probably navigate a boat pretty easily. They could be seeking a warm, international climate and that'd be a heck of a lot...

I agree. Yes, she's young. Yes, she's petite. But the possibility that she went willingly is really strong. LE may know more than we do. Maybe there's a journal or FB messages or texts that point to her being an instigator in the murder. Children have been committing murder since the...

In Florida, it seems like all our signs are continuously monopolized by Silver Alerts. At least in my area. That said, I haven't been on US 19 in a few days and that's where most of the digital signs are.

You're right. It is quite similar to Go to Hell. CSI's usually good at doing a subtle spin on real-life cases or types of cases. I believe the first season episode Gentle, Gentle was based on a writer's take on the JonBenet Ramsey case. The allusions are there, but they don't promo it as such...

I got the vibe that she went willingly. I'm not sure why, but that's why I referenced the Valessa Robinson case. If Brittany was indeed infatuated with this guy, then I could see her, in the moment, thinking her mother is disposable. Especially if her mother was catching on to something...

I can't even comment on the torture. Appalling. I know it's a cliche to say the children are in a better place, but they really are. I'd prefer they be alive, but not in the culture of indifference that surrounded them. Those pictures are disconcerting. They look like any collection of random...

I don't know. I think if I was them, I'd hide in plain sight. Of course, this isn't exactly camping season so perhaps anyone out there will stick out a little more. It's not like the fourth of july where there'd be tents and popups as far as the eye could see. I personally believe they're...

I live near the beach in west central Florida and it's in the 50s today. Will probably be around 40 tonight as we're in a warming trend. This weekend should be somewhat balmy.

This case has shades of valessa Robinson to me, and will likely be resolved the same way. Valessa was five years older, though, and perhaps the culpability is different.

If the biomom does indeed have cognitive delays, then that might soften my stance a bit. She seems to be able to give a few quotes to the media, though, and a few broken sentences to the police could have done wonders. I'm just agog that a parent could live in the same town, hear that abuse was...

I live in central west Florida on the coast and it's forecasted to be 32 here tonight. That's darned cold for being so close to the water. If they do plan on camping, they better drive far, far west. I would think they'd be afraid to seek a homeless shelter or draw attention to themselves by...

I'm not someone who has ever been focused on this case, but my somewhat objective opinion based on the evidence is that a RDI. I mainly lurk here because I find the back-and-forth really interesting. People are so knowledgeable and avid when it comes to this case. All that said, I don't think...

I was kinda speaking colloquially re: the ambien. Just to draw comparison between Ambien and your other sleep aids, whether OTC or Lunestra or whatever. If you've taken Ambien, it does feel like your brain just...shuts down. It doesn't actually, of course. Before that feeling, though, it's like...

I too am guilty of rushing to judgement, but I have two questions and a few comments: I can buy the Ambien story, because as someone who took an Ambien once, I know that drug can be something. That said, while sleep eating, driving, and all manner of mayhem has been reported as a side effect...

I live in Pinellas County, so about 1:15 from where Jennifer vanished. I was slightly older than she was when she disappeared and in my long history of following these kinds of cases, hers was the first one that really compelled me. I followed the story in the St, Petersburg Times avidly. I...

Maybe "impulse" is the wrong word in my scenario, now that I think about it. It's less an impulse and more an irrational fear. Like, walking by a really expensive vase and having a fleeting thought about pushing it off. You wouldn't do it, but it's like your brain takes a second to rebel. You...

I'm always hesitant to embrace the insanity defense early, but I think this might apply. Do you know those little crazy thoughts people get and then dismiss? Like when you're standing next to a busy street and think "Yikes, I better not move any farther forward" and that weird impulse to step...

I absolutely don't fault TS for her silence. I'd be more surprised and concerned if she wasn't curled up in a fetal position right now. I have three young boys and the thought of losing them sends me into a near panic attack. I can't fathom what she's going through, and she knows far more than...
