Saw this on the evening news. Extremely sad, but I had to come back here to post my condolences to the family, and glad they can finally lay her to rest. RIP Alexis.

Thanks all, all esp. RG. Horrible horrible, I hope somehow this will enable her to move forward with a little more peace. As bad as the assault and rape were, facing this day in court took enormous courage. I need a glass of wine.

He prolly stole the cat too! Animal cruelty should now be added. Poor little kitty. Hope it recovers.

Reading through...AMAZING WORK, Congrats to you ALL! And I must mention, my DH said last night, "so tell me again, what did they accomplish?!!!" hahaha L O V E D showing him! Guy #1 " finally "gets it!" :happydance::loveyou:to you all! I am hoping one family gets the closure they...

Isn't JM due to appear in court tomorrow in Charlottesville to face the abduction with intent to defile charge?

Respectfully snipped for brevity & BBM This is not a unique excuse. Many who CHOOSE not to take personal responsibility for their own well being, education, their lives, CHOOSE to put the blame on everyone else, ie, OTHERS are "maintaining them in their limbo". WORK. Get an education, get...

MJPeony, MY opinion is that there is no difference between what went on for many many years at some of the frats at UVA and gang activity, and it is POSSIBLE and in my opinion, probable that JLM may have been involved in this as a young adult and college student. I do feel sorry for the...

ITA, and to the effect that it may have had on JLM when he was 17-18- and on up, and attending school. His mother was said to move to keep him away from gangs, she knew what was going on. I find it very possible that he was involved in the rape scene at a frat or elsewhere when he was...

There was quite a lot of discussion way back in these threads on this topic, and you probably can find some quoted sources researching. I believe the consensus was that if she was murdered shortly after the abduction (within a day or so), that the typical drugs would not be found in bone or...

With UVA back in the news regarding their handling of rapes, I am wondering if this is related to HG's journey that night. Could she have left her friends at a frat party, (where rapes have been frequently reported) and that is why she ended up alone that night, and what accounts for the...

Thanks Charlie and FindHG It is very troubling thinking about the ME determining a cause of death, given the circumstances. I know this is all part of the investigation, but it is a very sobering and difficult thought. Another extremely hard day for the Grahams, I pray for them.

I really believe she will testify. I think she understands the seriousness, and will not let JM go unpunished. She knows she was just lucky. Also, JM choked her to unconsciousness, and I think he DID think he killed her. He just couldn't be sure because he was interrupted. I don't...

:twocents: The most important thing now is to make sure JLM is alive and well to enable the legal system to fully prosecute him for all the heinous crimes he has committed and bring justice to all of the families that he has violated. The jails and prisons are not always the safest places...

^^^^^THIS :loveyou: "Out of 11,000 untested rape kits in Detroit, prosecutors found 1,600 DNA samples that were later involved in rapes elsewhere – including New York. “We’re funding this project because rape is not a local crime,” Mr. Vance said. “Many who rape, rape again — and they rape...

WOW!!! Now, That was quick! LOL This is amazing! Thanks SolverGC. (not publically traded??? - rats!).

I am hoping one of our brilliant young minds will make a breakthrough and find a new and revolutionary way to quickly process DNA for identification. I don't think that would be impossible. On the gathering of DNA, I favor the idea of taking DNA of repeat offenders of lesser crimes.

I have no connection to prisons, but I can tell you that someone I know very well & is connected to the prison system, recently told me about a person who was a pedophile and was imprisoned. He was repeatedly beaten to the point of blindness in one eye. My friend told me this is because they...

And still they can become victims. I try to instill this in my own, and they always listen. Recently I have bought some of the recommended books and read them and passed them along, as required reading. I try to gently insert ideas in my kids and grands, about ideas read here about insisting...

Which brings up a question I've had for awhile. For all of you more worldly people: Considering the numbers of missing women in this area, (as I am a VA resident so my view is biased), Is there anywhere else in the nation that has or has had this problem? With all of these resources...
