I don't mean to sound so critical of PPD but I have seen too much of the past and know too much of their record. It's not that the personnel on the department aren't trying. But think of it this way, I'd love to be a great engineer, the only thing standing in my way is an education and training...

Look at the unsolved murder cases not just the crime rate. I know I sound down on PPD but it comes with years of seeing the antics of PPD.

If you want to see just how PPD defends itself from being under the microscope, take a look at some of the earlier VA Pilot articles and the comments that were left from some readers. One commenter "Rose" (yes I know her, she lives near me) was actually blasted by what is apparently PPD or...

Well, I guess it's easy enough to see that Pigsticker is either a PPD or related to one. Yes indeed, every city does have unsolved murders, JUST NOT AS MANY AS p-Town. I can recall two by name, Anthony Butler and Eljon Woffard. Then through out the years there's many that I can't remember the...

After two months and no new on any progress on Meghans case and ZERO media reports on progress being made, I'd say PPD has already moved her murder over to their huge cold case file. I see p-town police cars in Suffolk and Chesapeake constantly, maybe if they spent more time in their own city...

I feared that all along. I was born and raised in P-town and I've never seen anything much worthwhile accomplished by the PPD. That department has always had a corruption problem and a do nothing attitude. It's sad to say, but I fear Meghan's murder is going into the cold case file. LE never...

I would think the residents of the Simonsdale and Hodges Manor area are scared out of their wits, knowing that there is such a violent and heartless murderer running loose that seems to be familiar with their neighborhoods. I read the "comments" following stories in the local paper (virginian...

Thanks for posting that MM. I just hope it's not too late and they move swiftly to get justice for Meghan. Anyone that would do something like that to a little kid should not be running loose.

I have zero faith in PPD being able to solve Meghans case. I grew up in P-town (moved when I was in my mid-twenties I'm in my fifties now) and PPD has always had a reputation of corruption and bumblers. I don't say that to be insulting, it's just the way it is. At one point there was a huge...

It is disturbing to me that the local media has already just dropped Meghan off the map and nothing is being said about her case at all. Portsmouth PD is known to have a huge cold case file and it upsets me that to think that now Meghans case is heading to that file. Maybe I'm a worrier, but I...

There is pictures of a dog with Meghan on her MySpace page. Where was the dog when she was killed? Was the dog harmed or was it even her dog? I haven't heard anything mentioned about it, just wondering.

A new story today from wtkr channel 3 , http://www.wtkr.com/global/story.asp?s=8312843 The last sentence puzzles me. The state crime lab is so overworked that they haven't looked at the evidence from Meghans murder? For 32 days the state lab can't seem to find the time to look at evidence...

The local newspaper, Virginian Pilot, finally ran a another very brief article (http://hamptonroads.com/2008/05/portsmouth-police-look-new-clues-death-16yearold). It just says that the LE is going back to the area and talking to more neighbors and looking for more clues and are asking for any...

Lizzybeth, After you brought it up, it dawned on me. You are indeed right. The one in the tunnel was just one of several that I can recall of PPD DUIs. There was the Sheriff that got pulled DUI and then tried to use his position and ended up costing him his job. Gary Waters was his name and he...

Gayle, The neighborhood was Rivercliff, it is on the right hand side heading towards the Nansemond River on route 327. The field is on the left, right across from the small lighthouse at the entrance of Rivercliff. The old Nansemond River bridge was torn down last year, so the highway does not...

I don't understand the silence from LE and Meghan's family.

Hi everyone, I'm a newby here, I've been reading since a couple of days after Meghan's murder. I grew up in P-town and lived in Suffolk for about 25 years now. Gayle, I think I remember when your sister was found. Was she found by a farmer on his land across the street from a neighborhood with...
