I emailed a case to the Baltimore FBI contact even though I know it's a longshot. 14 yr old Colleen Simpson went missing from her home in Bedford, IA on Oct 5, 1975. (Some sites list her as missing from Clearfield, IA)

I know it...
Snip my post at will and feel free to comment. That's what we do here. But please don't misrepresent what I stated in the entirety of my post.
Someone can certainly be held accountable for their actions and not be guilty of any criminal wrongdoing. I clearly stated I did not believe...
I've followed the thread, missed reading some pages but I've read the last several pages of comments.
It's a tragedy Rebecca felt there was no escape from her pain and no hope her life could ever be better. Clearly, her home environment was the main contributing factor. IMO, the bullying...
Just started reading the Reuters article last night. It's just unbelievable how so many children have been thrown away. As a society we treat our weakest members, children & the elderly, as if they are simply disposable burdens to be discarded when they become too much trouble.
I know...
Well, I guess I've lost faith in angels too.
Though the focus should be this young girl's recovery. Perhaps his presence did help her in some way which is a nice thought.
Why do so many of us have this need to believe in something 'more'? Maybe there isn't anything but us just trying...
When I first read the story, my initial thoughts were very much like yours.
I have struggled with my faith greatly over the last year or so.
For some reason, I still believe in angels though. I don't think they will ever discover the identity of the mystery priest.
I really hope LE has some good evidence to build the case against Hailey's killer(s). I keep hoping they're just waiting on more forensics to come in before they make an arrest. But it's been dragging on and it does worry me.
Regarding Hailey asking her adult uncle to stay overnight...
I remember who you're talking about. What do you mean about bringing outside people in? (if that's not violating TOS)
I keep checking in here hoping there will be news of an arrest(s). Wish it had been happier news to bring us all back together. Still, I'm glad to see so many are...
Still following with all of you. I keep forgetting to hit that "Thanks" button but I so appreciate all the updates.
I feel like this surely must be Hailey but I'm surprised it's taking so long for results. I pray justice will be done. She was failed by so many in her life, if she's...
My husband & I rarely pick up viruses & are relatively healthy. Earlier this month I caught a respiratory bug (I assume the flu) and was sick several days.
Friday afternoon I became suddenly ill at work & had to rush home. Then the vomiting began. By early Sunday morning my husband was...
I'm sickened by the horrible loss of these 2 beautiful young girls. I can only hope & pray justice is quick though it may be of little comfort.
Haven't had time to catch up on my reading this morning so apologies if this was already posted. This link was on my Facebook page today...
This is one of the saddest cases I've read here. There are way too many if only's here. I can't blame her family for their anger.
Poor Alicia, what a beautiful young girl. How will we ever protect our children?

I followed Hailey's thread originally and have checked here for updates from time to time. I'm not as clear on all the details as I was back then.
I don't recall any discussion about drug use by Hailey. There may have been and I've just forgotten. Do we have reason to think Hailey...
In cases like this, I wish the mother could be charged with something too.
Maybe I'm being too harsh, but it's hard for me to believe the mom had no idea what kind of creep she had living with her and her children.
I'd rather LE take 7 years and build a solid case rather than let him walk...
Sorry, I haven't caught up yet today so I don't know if LE released any new info.
I understand we all want to know as much as possible about the evidence. The more we know, the more we can put our sleuthing abilities to good use. LE has said Jessica's remains were not intact. For...
I will never forget Jonathan Foster!!!
And I see there are several of us still here that will never forget him.
Those bright eyes, that beautiful smile, so full of life & energy ... I will never understand why this happened to him. I have to keep the faith Mona Nelson will be...
I'm sure the unsolved cases haunt the LE agencies involved.
I am grateful to see the attention Jessica's case has received. We're using the best resources we have, IMO. They are undoubtedly working ridiculously long hours and sacrificing a great deal personally to do so. They all have...
I think you're right. I also think he may have murdered before and the body wasn't found.
It really appears to me as if he's taunting LE & the community.
I've never really followed profiling carefully. Do child killers have a particular type of victim they go after? What I mean is...
