Hey, all...I've been reading this thread with fascination. Unlike so many of these unfortunate cases, it really feels as if the answer should be right around the corner, one lucky move away. I'd like to believe that Diane is out there. Some people, no matter how much they're loved, can come to...

The terrain near Roanoke is very different from that in coastal VA. Many, if not most, houses there have some kind of basement.

Three of them look like they could be the same woman. Dark hair, full lips. She looks a lot like a friend of mine (I'm sure it's not my friend). Did anyone notice that the one blond woman has a torn (healed) left earlobe, as if an earring had been ripped off her earlobe some time ago? I guess...

My gosh, they were 69 and 70 (doing the math based on ages in the "Lasting Love" story Bessie posted above). When I heard of a missing couple, I was assuming teenagers, early 20-somethings, maybe people mixed up in nefarious business. The demographics of this case really shock me. I suspect that...

All I've heard is that they were all "obtained legally," some by the shooter, some by other(s). ETA: http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/02/us/oregon-umpqua-community-college-shooting/ "All the guns were legally obtained by the shooter or family members over the last three years through a federally...

The title's really weird, but here you go: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/alek-skarlatos-oregon-college-shooting-828861 OT: love him on DWTS; he has natural grace and charm.

I bet that he and I would always cancel each other out at the voting booth...but I very much admire the fact that when asked directly how his Second Amendment beliefs mattered in light of this event, he said that that should not be the focus right now; the focus should be on the victims. Good...

I want to know about this "box." (Someone at the press conference asked about a flash drive or something similar that was given to someone.) At the same, I don't know that my desire to know about it outweighs any possible need for restricting the information only to those who need to know...

From presser: Weapons: 6 at school, 7 at home, all purchased legally (but not all purchased by the shooter). Toll-free tip line: 1-800-CALLFBI, option 7. Sheriff: "This is a hunting state and firearms are...in most households." 10 fatalities--that includes the shooter. Asked about...

While waiting for the press conference, I want to say how much I appreciate this site in the wake of a tragedy like this. It's one of the first places I turn for information on what's happening. I know I'll get information that's not always accurate, that things will slip past the eagle-eyed...

I don't remember that there was a New Orleans shooter. (Oh, wait--Lafayette, movies?) There are now so many....

Yeah. What do I do about a family member, a young teenage boy who has been homeschooled, who keeps to himself, who presents as "non-neurotypical" (I don't know anything about any diagnoses--it's not talked about)...so much about him sounds like the stories of the Sandy Hook shooter and this one...

Hey, check this out...an interesting theory. http://www.avclub.com/article/jaws-extra-victim-unsolved-murder-case-224799

I'm pretty sure I saw some complaints in the articles (maybe in the comments of the articles) that it took too long for emergency responders to arrive and that the victim's body lay on the pavement, covered but with a couple of personal articles visible enough to engender speculation about her...

An update: the three women killed in Berlin were indeed relatives of the shooter. http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/local/2015/08/08/berlin-police-investigate-multiple-deaths-home/31332927/ Is it as unusual as it seems that the shooter and victims in this case are all women?

There's the 13-year-old girl who was injured but survived; there's also the very small child who was unhurt. Both girls, I think. I find some small solace in knowing that they have each other. And they have two older brothers, but....

I'm sure that the FB page you mention is his. I think such pages sometimes get "scrubbed" right after a crime like this; I wonder if that's what happened there.

http://www.kjrh.com/news/local-news/broken-arrow/quintuple-homicide-victims-brother-says-murders-are-a-shock-family-was-god-fearing-and-christian Seven kids, homeschooled, said to be "God-fearing Christians"...I wonder whether they were part of the Quiverfull movement? (Although given the kids'...

Family hasn't seen him in over a month. He said he was going out to walk the dog; later, the dog was found without him. His birthday has come and gone while he's been missing. http://www.eastoregonian.com/20150720/hermiston-man-missing-for-over-a-month
