My post was not directed at you, sansoucie.
Sorry for any misunderstanding. :blowkiss:
I know nothing about the family, personally, except what I have read, and that is that they were a normal family, no problems, church going, close-knit. When Steven was abducted it really tore them up, emotionally. I cannot even imagine their grief to lose him, all that time thinking he might be dead. Then, getting him back, he gets married, has two kids, and then gets killed in a hit and run accident the same day his helmet is stolen.
Then, almost ten years later, their only surviving son is charged with multiple abductions and murder. I have much empathy for this family. It's a miracle they have stayed together through it all. Divorce is quite common in such a situation, either one, but to have to endure both. Let is just suffice to say I admire their courage and dignity through everything!!
