I think I need to stay off these true crime websites. I'm becoming way too jaded. A year and a half ago, I would have automatically assumed that this was indeed an abduction. Now my first thought was "sure, you wait 3 hours (now we know it wasn't that long) to flag down a cop- we have another Casey/Misty case." Then I wondered if kids are thinking, "Boy, if I disappear for a few hours, I too can be as famous as (non) balloon boy!" Missing and murdered children are apparently a lucrative source of income for some-ie the A's cruise, RC's new truck, donations, licensing from the kids pictures, getting paid major bucks to be on talk shows, reality TV shows....I hope that Somer is asleep in a friends garage. What really worries me is that we've heard there was an attempted abduction recently. I am so glad that the community is out looking for her, and I hope to God this beautiful little girl is found soon, safe and alive.
