I know this will probably be an unpopular opinion; however, a man's life and reputation could also be at stake along with Sandra's life...

What if that pool kiss was just an innocent peck on the lips? Do we know any more detail than "a kiss on the lips at the pool"? My kids all give pecks on the lips when we come and go. Yes, in our case that is with family members or family friends, but how long had this man known Sandra? Does he have grandkids? Was he really being a perv, or did he just use bad judgment playing with a sweet little girl and showing her innocent affection?

Since we do not know, and these implications could ruin his career and life, I just think that we should tread carefully and stick to the facts regarding this man. I understand that he could be the one, and want nothing more than to see this baby girl come home to her family, but I am just not willing to crucify him without anything more than "a kiss on the lips at the pool". I have not heard anyone else come forward and claim any other inappropriate behavior, and I think that the interviews were misquoted. They asked him if he knew where she was, not if he knew who she was. He said that she used to come over and he would let her help in the garden, but that after the pool incident he stopped, probably because it was reported and scared the crap ot of him. What if this was your father or grandfather? Would condemning him on this evidence alone be warranted?

I don't like to advocate for the other side, because I have been a victim myself, both as a child and as a young adult, but in this case I just haven't heard anything that makes me certain he has done anything more than use bad judgment a couple of years ago. That just isn't enough for me at this point.

Yeah I would! Kissing a child on the lips is NEVER appropriate(the adult knows better even if the child initiates it), and it usually doesn't stop there. I find it hard to believe that that's all this man has ever done to a child.

Dang it all NurseBeeme - how our our children going missing w/o a trace - a rhetorical question I know. That mobile park seemed to look fairly contained from what I saw on Google.

Just ranting - wish they would find her! Any pressers scheduled for today - I am zipping in and out between meetings at work again.

mom, could you give us updates? I am not finding it anywhere online to watch...tia
 
The follwoing is my opinion:

At the age of 8, many say she was very friendly and her friendliness may have been a cause for concern by her cousin who warned her about strangers and being cute and little. Also, this child may have been super independent as she went from house to house and back home and out again. My sister in law is 9 years old and she is the same way, super independent and fiercely friendly, so much so that she jumps on the laps of male friends hugs and kisses them and often has crushes on older men and boys int he most innocent way of course.

My father is 60, but he is really healthy, strong and looks younger than his age (no where near the look fo a grandpa). I can't imagine him kissing a child on the lips at a pool who was not a direct relative. The fact that her family felt the need to actually file a complaint tells me that it went beyond this kiss and that after two years and after her disappearance this kiss was important enough to come up again, this tells me there is more in that complaint than just the kiss.

Also, for him to say she would ocme around and ASK him to help water his plants and that he would say NO. Tells me he is trying to blame her for taunting him or for coming to him often. Also, to give a reason for any sightings of her near his home.

I really really hope LE checked every home and EVERY CLOSET as we all know that Jessica L. was in a closet as LE when through the suspects trailer home, had that officer checked the closet he would have found her alive.

I bet Sandra innocently went along with someone a person that she maybe helped around the house before and where she didn't feel threatened.

It usually doesn't stop there? Really? My dad kisses my kids on the lips, should I be concerned? Or is it only if it is a blood relative that makes it okay? What other evidence or interviews have you seen that make you believe that this man has ever harmed a child, besides this pool incident?
 
Father says "Don't believe everything you hear, especially from an unreliable source."
 
Anyone signed up for that chat in the link? I'm not but was wondering if anyone else was and what, if anything, was being said.
