<modsnip: When a post is removed do not repost the information.> It is possible that the reporters and the police focus on the trip to the bathroom because it was during that time that she disappeared. It isn't really relevant that he stopped to get gas since she didn't disappear while he was...

The search was an amazing effort with great collaboration. Minnesota's new Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Office did a great job with organizing that search.

<modsnip> Most likely, they were able to persuade a judge that they would find something. However, it doesn't seem likely that they did...since it is now 2023 and nothing has come of it. They had unrestricted access to everything for six days, and have held onto whatever they took for almost...

It was in Minneapolis, Minnesota

Avid supporter of the facts and finding Amy. People only interpret suggestions they don't like to be bias. I just feel like when one theory has had nearly 40 years of attention and it has produced nothing, maybe it's time to look at another theory.

If the extended family wants to believe differently than Amy's mother and father, they have that right.

I agree. It doesn't seem likely that a cop would give information on an active case to a random person at Panera. However, I was once talking to a BCA employee at a conference and mentioned Amy's case. The BCA employee's face softened considerably, and they said "That family has been treated so...

I would hope that they would be aware of some, for sure. But probably not of every person with a record moving in to and out of the area the way they would be these days. Your list of possibilities are completely believable. A lot of the time, people are so focused on what they are doing, they...

"Running away" is a real problamatic term. It is basically a catch-all that seems to cover everything from "taking off to a friend's house without permission" to packing a bag and jumping a train across the country. I always say "classified as runaway" because the three women held captive by...

That is not surprising since this case happened in 1989. Minnesota didn't start registering sex offenders until 1991 and Megan's law wasn't in place until 1994. Don't know if some local police departments kept track of their local offenders, but it is easy for people to move into and out of...

Amy doesn't have a stepfather. Marshall is Amy's legal father. The last public statement by police is that they have no suspects, and the family is cooperating. I don't know how common it is for police to make public statements that they have "cleared" someone in an open case. I can't recall any...

There's no proof she wasn't.

Good question. However, this case happened in 1989. Megan's law wasn't passed until 1994. Minnesota began registering sex offenders in 1991. So there would be no way for the family or anyone helping them to know who the offenders in the area were. It is hard to say if the local police had an...

JoAnn has been found, and is with her mother.

In January of 1988, Susan Swedell was abducted from a gas station just on the other side of the Twin Cities. Thirty miles give-or-take away. https://charleyproject.org/case/susan-anne-swedell

Today is Amy's 41st Birthday. Please, Amy, come home! Please, anyone who has information about Amy, please contact police and tell what you know!

(modsnip) Again...and this is all over this thread in a few different places...the family was not paying the PI. Amy's Mom said that the PI was working with a non-profit child find agency, that they had reported the sighting to the police, and that the family was informed of the sighting by...

I think that sharing the case much more widely would be helpful. Maple Grove is a very small focus for a case that is this old, and where there have been reported sightings outside the state. Also, looking at other events of missing persons and other crimes in the area could shed some new...

I called the MTC and asked about service in 1989. They were unable to give me much information, but suggested I call Maple Grove Transit. I called Maple Grove Transit, and got this info: The city of Maple Grove filed to "opt out" of MTC in 1989, and the application was finalized in 1990...
