I think Sierra could have been lured away by a nice-looking guy for a day away from school...I probably would have gone, at her age...

That sounds like some weird romance novel... clearly not what is actually happening. Are you serious?
I was watching Sins and Secrets on ID and one perv was snatching girls just at the roadsides. He would drive around until he would see girls at bus stops, or getting the mail at the roadside mailboxes or just at the end of a yard, near the road. Once he saw them there, he studied them, took notes and then returned. He would drive up, get out of the car and ask for directions, stating he was a sales rep and had to find an address. As the girl would look at the map, he pulled a gun and told them to get into the truck or the back seat, that had a panel that pulled down and led to the truck and told them to get back into the trunk area. He took them to his home, when his wife was out, or out of town. He later divorced and then he had the house to himself and continued on with this MO. The only reason he got caught was one girl got away. He held them days, sometimes weeks before he would kill them. He lived in the next county over to where he was getting his victims. So sometimes they are not in your county but one over, and they are married or have a girlfriend. Lots of woman work, some do over night trips and the husband can be home; this is one way they can do these things and not get caught for years if they are careful. Girl in truck, pull into garage and now you get her into the house.
I can't imagine someone having the patience to wait for the legal system to deal with him and then do something so horrific years later. I mean, I can picture myself enraged to criminal violence if someone hurt my kids, but it'd happen during the turmoil of finding out and the legal wrangling. And if you were so outraged at your own child being violated, you'd have to be pretty messed up to be prepared to hurt another innocent child to redress the balance in your own mind. Most people realise that while not the direct victim, his children were harmed greatly by his disgusting behaviour as well. The person who would be capable of that would not need the provocation of Steve LaMar's crime IMO.
Very interesting!I reported this to law enforcement TODAY at about 2 p.m I think maybe they asked her questions because NOW at 9:48 her wall is plastered with SIERRA LAMARS missing poster and she has tweet upon tweet upon tweet.. Kinda crazy
Stretching it for new scenarios is getting tougher. How about this...cute guy Sierra has seen around at school stops her in the school yard for a chat. He casually looks around, walking her to a corner of the building where there are no students milling around. He talks first about how he can't wait for warm weather, and then gets on to asking her if she gets rides to school from her parents. Finds out she is the only one home when it is time for her to leave to catch the bus for school. They talk about how they cant wait for summer.
Then, as if it just occurred to him he says He says, "Sierra, Hey, listen. Tomorrow I can borrow my brother's new ??? car. We could skip school for the day and go to ????." (Feel free to fill in the ???.s) Sierra doesn't answer immediately, then he seals the deal by saying, Whoa. We can have an early Spring picnic lunch: I'll pick up sour dough and rye bread, ham, roast beef, chips, and stuff. And, I'll borrow a few bottles of champagne and wine coolers from my bro's stash, he'll never miss it. It will be great, we can kick back and enjoy the day." Sierra says, "Well, that's tempting but....." Nice guy says, "tell you what, if you decide you aren't having a good time, I will bring you right back, I promise. I never break promises." Sierra can't resist after that, says okay.
Nice guy says, "Just to make it more fun, our little early get-away, promise you won't tell a soul. This will be our little secret, so no fair letting anyone, not even your best friend know beforehand. Promise?" Sierra agrees, gives him her address, and he asks her to meet him outside her home about seven am. He gives her his cell phone number, and an extra cell phone he happened to have on him, just in case she needs to reach him privately, he tells her. They turn to leave, and he says, Oh, by the way, do you like to listen to ???. Sierras nods and her lovely eyes light up at the names, and he says Great. Ill bring my ??? and we can listen to them on the drive down/up there.
Please forgive me for the "unlikely language choices" I used, and feel free to laugh. I know I would. I am a grandmother, my beloved oldest granddaughter is 23 and she would laugh her head off if she knew I wrote like this. I can't speak todays "teen's text twitter plus the effen" language.
The what-if scenario I tried to depict was that there didnt need to be any record of text messages. She had his extra cell phone to use. Leaves no record on hers. Makes a big difference, verbal plans, secrets, and an unknown private cell phone sweetens the deal..
(The music idea was an afterthought. Im listening to some of Chris Bottis CDs. His talented trumpet calms me down when I get down from reading and discussing the latest on our disappearing children.)
The school does have a way for parents to check in during the day to see if their kids are present in their various classes throughout the day.
Someone posted in one of the earlier threads that their child's high school doesn't send out notices until 6 pm or so to reduce the chance that a kid who cut school might intercept it.
Which is far, far more likely than for a kid to be abducted.

Teens these days can't survive without their cell phones and social media. There would have been contact back and forth between her and someone else if this were the case. It would have been tracked. Teens are very naive and trust others that they may see on a regular basis but don't necessarily know, so she may have taken a ride from someone that just happened to pull up unplanned on her part.
Her last known cell communication was right at the time she would have been leaving the house to catch the bus. She did not return the last tweet. Thats probably when the phone was tossed.
I think it was premeditated. Someone had been watching her and couldn't resist the urge anymore and the timing was just right.
Whether it started out with her willfully getting into the car because she recognized the person or someone forced her we will not know until she is found and/or they are caught.
Respectfully, I believe the point could have been made without the "cheap dime store novel" approach. I found it lacking in taste and sensitivity to the victim or the situation, and clearly I'm not the only one. Then you did it again so I'm not sure you understood the objections.
MHUSD has two systems currently in place to notify parents of an absence at the high school level: an automated voice call that goes out about 6 p.m. and a system called the Home Access Center.
The Home Access Center is a website where parents can log on online and see in real-time if they're child did or did not show up to a class that day. They can see, for example, if their child cut class during fifth period, or check on their grades. The system can also notify them by email in real-time.
Jennifer Odem's case was very similar to this one. She was taken at her bus stop, but she was coming home. The area was a lat like what you are describing here, but this was in Feb,1993 in FL. She lived in a secluded area, all farming and orange groves. The kids on the bus saw a blue truck slowly follow her up her road, which was actually a very long drive way to her house. There was no sign of struggle and she was found in the next county over on a horse trail. Her backpack and clarinet case and clarinet were found 2 years later, just tossed behind a hospital, but it was no where near her body or where she was taken. Her cloths, purse and boots were never recovered. To this day the family believes it was someone very close to the family. They knew when she got off the bus, where, that she walked alone (as of recently), and got her into the truck without a struggle. She has a thread here in the cold cases. I think Sierra knew this person. She knew them well enought to get into a car and he didn't have a fight on his hands until he made his intentions known. I haven't read the whole thread, but did she go to church, any outside activities from school? Any neighbors have relatives or friends that were staying with them before or during this?
Another community-wide search is planned for Saturday, which is why the Burnett School Search Center is staying intact and hundreds of volunteers are saying they will return for new search assignments.
I think it's important to remember that just because we've heard nothing about a device connection (phone, computer) and records, doesn't mean they don't exist. If there is a log, there are very good reasons for LE NOT to disclose that to the public.
