I am glad to hear another POV. It just irks me when websleuthers assume that a commune is a good place for fugitives to hide. I feel that the implication there is that people who live on a commune are not moral enough to report them to the police. Yes some are more open than others, but...

That guy is not a good fit on a commune. I am sure he is a guy who likes being in control and who "knows the best way to do things". That kind of guy will be removed by the other men ASAP. Men on communes are still men, and they won't let a chest-beating, wannabe Alpha in their midst.

It is not really the style. You can just tell who is "comfortable" on a commune and who isn't, and those two would never look like they were comfortable there. You know what I mean. Most of the people on the commune now actually look pretty normal, but they are still old hippies and they are...

Yeah I figured he was lying about her age. The former at-risk youth counselor who lives on my commune would have seen through that immediately though. Note to fugitives: a commune is just full of people who will heavily scrutinize you. They are full of gossips, but not just any old gossips...

I know they're all different. The one I was on was really private, and some are more open, but none of them just let people hide out. We had people from other communes visit ours sometimes and I talked to those people. I just think people have a misconception about communes. The people who...

We had a little commune school, but all the parents who lived there had college degrees, so it was unacceptable that a child was not in school. Just having a school-age child "hanging around" during the school year would have not been tolerated. At my commune, at man could not have his 15 year...

None taken, but at least in my experience, people ask a ton of questions. None of the women on the commune (especially those with children) would have tolerated for one second having an unknown man around. You bet your butt they would have peppered that guy with questions. I just wish...

Again, as someone who grew up on a commune in the western US, if two "redneck" style people from Tennessee showed up, looking all square and whatnot, that would have been a big red flag that they were probably not hippie commune types. Where I grew up, we would have never let these two stay...

I just want to add one quick thing here, because it has been bothering me. I know there were rumors these two were hiding out on a commune (turned out to not be true). I was born and raised on a commune. We would never, ever have hidden people out who were breaking the law, and we most...

Again, we cannot have proof because proof right now is impossible. I guess I live in a different world that you. In the world I live in, a situation like this does not arise without there being a sexual element to it. If a man walks in to a brothel and comes out 2 hours later, we definitely...

Yes of course not. There would only be proof if they confirmed it, we actually witnessed them having sex, or she became pregnant by him. What we do have is tons and tons of evidence. Just ask yourself this: would a man take a risk like this for any other reason than that he was getting laid?

I have read through some of the threads and comments on this case, so I must just ask one simple question. There have been tons of people speculating that they went to Canada, Mexico, or Central America. Do you all really, actually believe that these two have passports? I would be frozen in...

I am under the impression that LE and the Papinis are not at all on the same page right now.

Of course he can. That is what they did in the Nathaniel Kibby case.

Personally I require evidence, and I do not believe something simply because an authority figure told me to. And yes, I am aware of how things work, but that does not stop me from having a healthy level of skepticism when I am given NO EVIDENCE to back up a claim.

They are just keeping it way too vague to the point where I think they are either placating Sherri or they are placating the person they think actually did it. Let me put it this way: I am not at all under the impression that LE is asking the public's help to find these women. They were not...

It makes NO SENSE as a prank. Pranksters do not praise the toughness of the person they are pranking! They do not praise the family of the person they are getting vengeance on!

Yeah it's weird. Is one 60 and one 45, or is one 40 and one 20? I mean clearly she could tell about how old they were so why is that not being released?

Yeah there are two things there not making sense: 1. Sherri was not in high school when it was posted and 2. as you say, if they did not know who did it, then they would have no idea if it was a classmate or not. I am still a little skeptical about this one. The explanation for it does not...

Oh they do. I have seen some girl fights, and there is a lot of hair-pulling. After seeing that, I could definitely see a woman associating cutting off hair with female on female violence.
