I didn't mean to offend anyone. I'm having problems catching up on posts which I can see will never happen anyway.
Thread closed on me...
Regarding 911 useage - what I was trying to say is that in my experience, LE departments have a main phone number that is generally used for non-emergencies. You can aquire LE assistance this way without clogging up 911 lines or dispatch. A heart attack victim may lose their life if the dispatchers are all tied up with "my daughter needs to be arrested" calls. I'm sure it depends on where you live (I live in a major metropolitan area) but I base my opinions on three facts: Mr. Litig8r is a firefighter who responds to real emergencies (and "my knee hurts" calls). My sister is a former 911 dispatch operator, and my brother-in-law is LE - all three in different cities. The three of us have had the 911 conversation, and we all tend to agree. I would think it's appropriate to call 911 to report a crime in progress, but not necessarily for something that has already happened (days or weeks ago). I've called myself to report drunk drivers, or children not in car seats. If you call your LE and they tell you to call 911, so be it. As I said, I suppose it depends on where you are the the policies of that area. I just hope no one comes to my city and calls 911 because their "daughter needs to be arrested" when Mr. Litig8r is having a heart attack! Make sense?
Are any of the family members (George, Cindy, Lee) participating in today's search?
Perhaps JB would advise that anything they find can incriminate their daughter, they don't want to be out there considering last night's hooplah, etc.
But if it was my granddaughter or niece they were looking for, I'd be out there leading the pack and to heck with whoever told me to stay home. But that's just me ya know...
~snip~I was under the assumption that 911 is to ask for police assistance??
New member here. After surfing the net for any and all information I could get, I found this site and it's my new addiction.
I'm toally addicted to Websleuths now....so addicted that we're on a 5 hour drive to my mother's and here I am reading this site on the laptop...lol.
Thankfully, hubby is doing the driving. Him and the kiddos are playing "I spy"
Thanks to all you sleuthers for all your thoughts and insights into this case!
What do you think?
I thought Cindy said, in her lambast to the reporters in front of her house, that she was ONLY hiring the search team to satisfy the "maggots" (media) who are insisting they search around? I thought that slip was telling.Are any of the family members (George, Cindy, Lee) participating in today's search?
There are emergency and non-emergency police numbers...911 isn't meant for all police needs. It's meant for situations that are urgent and require an immediate response (a fire, heart attack, home invasion, etc). Think of it this way, like the difference between your doctor's office and the hospital er....some things can wait and some things can't.
Yeah, I know. But I was holding out for at least Lee.
George is busy fertilizing and Cindy would be too busy bleaching everything they picked up (it might be icky!).
I guess I should resign myself that if it's "normal", this whole famiy is going to run screaming from it with their hands over their ears and do the opposite. Sheesh!
Wait - are you sure that's what she said? That goes against everything she's said before - her whole mantra is that she's frustrated because she thinks no one is looking for Caylee.I thought Cindy said, in her lambast to the reporters in front of her house, that she was ONLY hiring the search team to satisfy the "maggots" (media) who are insisting they search around?

O/T My area of Florida (Gulf Coast side) is getting hit hard with rain. If I lose my computer with all the uploads waiting I will FREAK OUT!

Can someone help me? I have been away from this story for the last 24 hrs due to my anger over this case. It seems that I have missed something. What is the story concerning Casey and some 12 year old girl on the internet? What was Casey say to her online?
Oh no, that would not be good! Your uploads and updates are so helpful! (Thank you btw, they are SO appreciated!!) I will say a little prayer for you right now that you don't lose all that work!
BE SAFE!! :blowkiss:
