Ah, so it wasn't a fold out sofa as I had assumed. If true, at least two adults took a decidedly disturbing action by concealing her body. I can't fathom this kind of family dynamic. Ugh.

Absolutely - well lived in can be a messy, happy chaos. My own childhood home was the kind where you'd wipe your feet on the way out. That's what I was thinking with the use of the word "deplorable" to describe Semaj's home - unhappy and wretched conditions that limit quality of life.

Not all abusive homes are filthy but it does seem to come up time and time again and should be an indication that parenting has been compromised. Note - I'm going off my own personal childhood experience where a filthy house meant lazy parenting but harsh and excessive discipline, abuse...

My thought at the time was that the mother's plea seemed off like she was padding out her speech - too many "I just" if you know what I mean. "I just want my baby home," she told WGN-TV. "I just want her home, I just want to know she's safe. I just want to know she's OK." Of course, it could...

Sad to see such a case with so little apparent progress. I hate to be so cynical but the story of how he came to disappear has me knitting my brows and unbelieving. When was the last sighting of Detrez by anyone other than his parents? Why are the parents and wider family/friends so quiet...

If he is saying he had sexual intercourse with her corpse, he could be minimising and trying to explain his dna being left behind. JMO.

As if we don't have enough real life racial divides. Ugh. Whatever her thinking or motivation for this story, I'm glad the truth has come out before it could escalate further. Her story was elaborate, she play acted a specific victimology and even staged a crime scene. This is highly disturbing...

On social media, I find I am often a lone voice, swimming against the tide. When I've complained in the comments about lack of facts, I've been called... a bleeding heart liberal :laughing:

Some posters who are much further ahead forget what it's like to be out of the loop. The threads move so fast and people invariably, skip a few that it's easy to miss vital information and not know what has been discussed and debunked already. That's why we need to be patient with each other...

I made a couple of lighthearted posts that have been removed. My sincere apologies, no offence was intended.

You do when you see things with a negative slant. Missing children often have horrific and lamentable outcomes. I know hearing of such cases over and over in the news has had a cumulative affect on me and my optimism has dipped so that I now tend to fear for the worst. Sad but true.

Haha love it :D:giggle:

I'm the same and it doesn't help that I'm outdoorsy and pale as the moon :/

Likewise :)

Everything is worthy of consideration. We all see the same things differently. That's what keeps the conversation flowing :) If it was a subconscious slip of the tongue - wouldn't it have been the first word he said instead of the second. He used "rape" to elaborate on his first choice which...

He has already expressed how terrible it was for the girls to have been murdered. What more can he say? He has a right to acknowledge his own experience. imo.

I don't think it's odd at all. He used a word he felt conveyed the most powerful meaning in the moment. The property he knows to be serene and peaceful has been forever altered by despicable acts. He feels violated. I would too. imo.

I should do the same. If I spend any more time on this sofa, I may as well get upholstered to blend in.

He's speaking in the heat of the moment. imo.

The change in people when they take this stuff is terrifying. It's like the devils own candy.
