As others have said, what a hideous, ugly, hellish family. Trying to reduce Tiah to a source of income and a "problem to be taken care of." My heart ached thinking about Tiah and her mum this Christmas :( Trent is a crazy, delusional, entitled little piece of scum to continuously try to get...

Yes, I'm aware of that, it's just that I've heard conflicting reports regarding about whether the police have always suspected the Thorburns were involved in Tia's murder. I've heard that the police had their suspicions all along about the Thorburns but tried to make it seem as if they were...

I'm a bit confused have whether or not investigators have always considered the Thorburns as people of interest. I wonder when Tia's friend disclosed to investigators that Tia had confided in her about TT abusing her? You would think that if this information had been known to the police early on...

Let's be real, there's quite a bit of difference between a 13 year old and a 14 year old sleeping together vs. a 16/17/18 year old having sex with a 12 year old. For all of you people trying to say that society accepts that it's normal for teenagers 16 and older to sleep with 12 year olds, I...

Trent was arrested in September at the age of 19. Trent messaged his cousin on facebook last year the day before Tia is alleged to have been killed (the 29th of October), admitting that he had "had sex" with Tia the prior Monday, making him 18 at the time of the rape. Even if he had been 17 at...

"Society sees no issue with this" - speak for yourself. I have a huge legitimate issue with an 18 year old or even a 17 or 16 year old and so on having a sexual relationship with a 12 year old child, and I know many others do, too. It's bad enough that children of the same age of 12 or 13 are...

Just browsing the previous thread regarding Tia, and I have to say, I'm really appalled by the commenters who think it's normal for 18 year old men to rape 12 year old children: "Hi everyone!* This is my very first post,* so please be nice lol I have been watching this case, since the very...

We don't know if she actually did threaten to kill his dog, so I really wish people would stop quoting Tia as saying that. Her being quoted on that reminds me of what another poster said regarding Rick's announcement to Tia on Facebook after she had "run away" - about how this poor girl was...

Yes, that's the creepy thing. So much access to children. I saw a pic of Trent driving a car with another young man next to him and a pubescent-looking girl with braces smiling for the picture in the back seat. It boggles the mind that Rick and Julene still allowed him to be around children...

Sorry, I should have said it hasn't been confirmed, but I have seen reports here that the cousin was indeed a female. I couldn't help but assume that perhaps the cousin in Trent's instagram picture was indeed the one he had messaged about Tia. I wasn't paying too much attention to every detail...

Did anyone capture screenshots of Trent Thorburn's instagram before it was taken down? I was browsing through it the other night before it was wiped but didn't think to take any. I also came across a post of him with a female cousin who he'd tagged in the pic (however, not encouraging...

Yes, her mum is a kiwi and I believe she is of Maori heritage. Tia looks (it pains me to type "looked") to be part Maori to me.

Exactly. It's horrible to think that some people out there might be naive enough to believe such an absurd excuse for raping a child. That video made my heart ache. Watching this precious young girl going along her day to day activities, carrying the burden of these awful secrets of what has...
