any updates today?
I can't stress enough that the FBI believe Relisha's body ended up in the landfill and won't be found. They don't toss around words like this without reason. I think if they believed Relisha to be buried anywhere they would continue to search, but they aren't searching - for a reason. I do not think that reason has anything to do with anything other than believing she is in fact - in the landfill and won't be recovered. Keith does this stuff for attention and literally nothing else.
Thread opened up downstairs? We can't discuss the radio up here.
Good morning SCHMAE,
I have been away from the threads, and the "other" forums, but tryingmy best to keep up with everything that's been happening here and there via email alerts. My poor inbox is overloaded, as I'm subscribed to quite a few threads. But a :websleuther: has to do what. :detective: has to do! :sleuth:
Slight O/T detour first: I've been working valiantly (and often in a bewildered state) on my girls' rookie season of PineCar Grand Prix derby race cars for months now. You are given blocks of wood, plastic wheels and nails (for axles) and a manual, with the expectation to convert them into a sleek, fast, speed machines. :facepalm: :hiding: I own not a single power tool, so a LOT of fellowship, borrowing, long nights, and stress (along with fun time teaching my daughters that a girl can do anything they set their minds to!) have been my world.
The races for Youth Group were last week. We almost didn't make it. I was assembling the cars up to the last minute. I was so rushed I forgot to glue the axles! Anyhow, my eldest (who looks the most like Relisha) took 2ND PLACE)!!!!! Her little sister lost an axle+wheel and came in 4th (no trophy). She was upset at first but eventually realized how well she actually did. She's seven, so there were lots of :tears: - I was crying for my own reasons.
As I videoed my girl being awarded her trophy, she jumped up and down with joy, her braids flying in the air. Her face was hidden, and again, I was struck by the resemblance. I was SO happy for my girl, she was RELISHING in her joy, and I was too. I was in tears, and my heart and mind was screaming to God, "Please, find Relisha! This could be her, too! Where IS SHE?"

Sorry, but I just had to share that long story. I've been away for a while, and the words are flying from my fingertips. :blushing:

SCHMAE,
Your posts regarding the PSAs about the Cold Amber Alerts is absolutely BRILLIANT!!!! :loveyou:
I am officially throwing my hat into the ring on this one. Here's why:
When the government shutdown occurred, the AA system took a major hit[B/] on social media and MSM. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity, but those who had a bone to pick with the current administration used it to spread false information re: the AA system.
I was tweeting furiously at the time to spread awareness about the AA system. It was a mess. www.missingkids.com/amber remained online the entire time, and the AA system never out children at risk, despite the smear campaign. The fact that people were willing to use AAs and missing children as political pawns still angers me.
Your idea could be the catalyst for reaching out to the higher ups to get this thing going! I could draft a proposal. We could reach out to all of the agencies.
I could also talk to my contacts at ChildQuest International and KlaasKids foundation.
THIS needs to happen. Whatever it is that we are doing isn't exactly working. These AAs have been "active" for months, yet I have to come to WS to "hear" about them! :banghead; :tantrum:
Am I crazy (I just woke up and saw your posts - no :coffeews: yet) or is it time to DO SOMETHING?

These are the spots I was thinking of, but I really think that the networks would want something back. Maybe, if it still exists, in the entry under "creating positive public image" or "community goodwill", or "charitable donation in kind". Possibly local stations would be more likely to do something along this line if the missing child was local, and it would fit in their news coverage.
As well, it would cost the networks a little bit in production costs because a producer would have to chose the subject and images, a writer would create the text, an editor would put it all together, and the producer would have to make sure it got to air. It takes a lot of work to put an effective spot together.
So the choice of which child to feature on the Cold Case Amber Alert spot, or Still Missing spot, might be problematic for large networks, and the production factor could be a hurdle.
So, JMO, it might be easier to pitch the idea if an organization put together the spots (made the choice, did the production) according to industry standard and distributed them to the networks willing to air them. Some group like Klass Kids maybe?
It's time to do something but I don't know what ! Could we draft a proposal and have every member of ws e sign it to get it rolling , then send to networks and AA admin?
