    Found Deceased NC - Maddox Ritch, 6 w/Autism, Gastonia, 22 Sept 2018 #2

    My daughter is Norah. It does get easier, but it never goes away.

    I am sorry for the loss of your daughter. What is your angels name? I mentioned in the thread when he was still missing that I had a stillborn daughter eight months into my wife's pregnancy. It will be two years in Oct. Hugs to you, I know how hard it can be, I still feel it every day. I have...

    Oh, I am by no means saying to discount it. I am a very analytical person to begin with so I look in terms of what is concrete and what is speculation.

    I think until there is evidence that says otherwise, you are reading too much into it. I live on a creek and debris tends to collect along the bank inside of the brush. I would imagine a body would do something similar and then be covered by other debris.

    Again, today should be about honoring Maddox. Rest in peace

    Again, what evidence can you present that he didn't keep proper lookout? Emotions are high, I get it. However, at this point in time there is no evidence of neglect. Did he perhaps let the kid get to far ahead of him with his medical conditions? Perhaps. That in itself doesn't necessarily...

    I never said the interview wouldn't be taken into account by LEO. There is a difference between inserting yourself and making things worse for yourself. Jump all over this if you like, but I defend my statement. The guy didn't insert himself.

    What evidence of neglect is there at this point? Serious question, perhaps I missed it.

    He was inserted into the investigation before that interview, no disrespect intended. He was going to be investigated regardless of the interview. The guy could be jumping in front of it trying to sway public perception. At the end of the day, he lives in this area, has a record, and knows...

    If you know the lay of the land better than the police wouldn't you offer up advice on where to look? I know in a case local to me they searched woods behind my house and I am sure I could tell police spots in those woods because I guarantee I know those woods better than the officers.

    The post I quoted said inserting yourself into an investigation, not an interview. People are sheep who want attention and most jump at the chance to get in front of a camera.

    Who says he inserted himself? If a child goes missing you canvas the area. I would assume (which I could be wrong, I am often) that the SOP would be to interview all registered offenders in the vicinity.

    Found Deceased NC - Maddox Ritch, 6 w/Autism, Gastonia, 22 Sept 2018 #2

    I always try to be as unbiased as possible (I don't think anyone can be 100% unbiased). It seems some people wanted to crucify the father based upon feelings instead of evidence. This is tragic enough, attention should be on remembering Maddox at this point. Wait for the evidence to start...

    I 100% agree. I feel this is an unfortunate accident and the father will beat himself up more than anyone else ever could. Until further information comes out, respect for the family needs to be adhered to.

    Maddox, I am sorry your life was cut short. I am sorry that your parents do not get to see you grow into the man you would become one day. I am sorry you were alone during your last moments on this planet. Rest in peace Maddox.

    I haven't watched enough of Ian speaking yet but this comes across to me as a man who may not be the most articulate person. I could very well be wrong, but I assume he means when he got around the trail to the park office/kiosk/whatever it is and where the parking lot is. It is plausible that...

    You are looking at this with a rational mindset. People experiencing grief are not always rational. As stated earlier I lost my daughter eight months into my wife's pregnancy and would often feel guilty wondering if there was anything I could have done differently. We never got answer why we...

    Thank you. You are correct, there is no right or wrong way and everyone does process it differently. If you ever attend an infant loss support group they cover this very topic almost in every meeting. You also will see and hear it first hand.

    People process grief differently... My wife and I lost our daughter suddenly eight months into her pregnancy and we both responded in vastly different ways than expected. I, being the tough strong guy everyone knew completely lost it and would cry multiple times a day publicly. My wife, stayed...
