Granted some of these maybe run aways, HOWEVER, that can not be confirmed until after they are found.

I counted 15 who were reported missing in 2012, from March through August. The last one went missing over 20 years ago at age 4.
WHAT is going on around there?!! 15 missing children from one county all within 5 months??? This is insane!!
 
15 children missing from one small district in 8 months? That sounds really strange. The youngest are Elizabeth, 8 and Lyric, 10. I wonder why Elizabeth's age is listed as 9 - as she disappeared at the age of 8. Is the list accurate and up to date, or are there special circumstances for some of the children, like the 18 year old, that suggest it was not an abduction? Are the ages of the children the age they are today, or the age they were when they disappeared?

If 15 children were kidnapped in 8 months, then I'm shocked that more has not been done to find a common theme between the children and locate the abductor.

I wish I could agree but I think that someone knows where they are. People who love and care for them and are searching for them, no. But if no one knows where they are it had to be some completely freak accident.

One thought I had early on (before I found out about the lake being essentially non-swimming) was that maybe Lyric was showing off her new "backflip" skill, hit her head, and Elizabeth went to help her and they both drowned. I'm glad that possbility was ruled out, but I can't think of any other scenario that NO ONE else would know where they are. :(

Someone DOES know where they are, but that someone is not going to talk and could be hundreds of miles away by now, possibly abducting other children. But you are right, if this had been some kind of freak accident I think they would have been found by now.
 
Thanks for the post CN2

I am still trying to re-hing my jaw.
I need more coffee..very disturbing..
 
Someone needs to address the abduction issues in that county.. surely that many can't just be seen as 'bad luck'?
 
Wowee.

These two really jump out at me. I'd like to know what the circumstances were. It is only one month before the two cousins went missing.

A Law-Enforcement​

Guide to Case Investigation
It is important, however, to
note not all children will be killed at the hands of their abductors. These statistics only reflect those of children actually killed by their abductors. In fact far more missing children are located and safely returned home than those who are abductedand murdered.
In addition documentation is critical right from the start of the investigation.


That same study indicated, in cases in which the abducted child was killed, the killer’s name immediately surfaced in 21.9% of the cases,



39.8% of the time within 24 hours, ​


and 57% within the first week.


In more than half of the cases law enforcement had contact with the suspect ​


before that person became the suspect.



WOW!!!! :eek:​
 
I was taking my oldest to a Dr's appt this morning and on Hammond Ave. in Waterloo a church has a sign out front that reads "Elizabeth and Lyric, I am always with you, God"

Made me burst into tears..

I sooo want them to be found!

BBM.

Snipped from the article and BBM: As of August 31, these children were reported missing from Blackhawk County (age listed is current).
 
http://missingkids.com/en_US/publications/NC74.pdf

Snippets.

Care also needs to be taken to prevent use of any volunteer who could be criminally involved in the case to avoid giving anyone the opportunity to destroy evidence found at the scene or gain insights into the investigation.

For instance in one case a perpetrator
volunteered to distribute fliers and help with the search. When the perpetrator learned
K-9 units were going to be used in the search, he returned home and cleaned areas
where the child was murdered with ammonia to try to hide any scents left behind.


A key child abduction-homicide study revealed 10% of killers interjected themselves into the investigation.

Statistics​
23.7% Returned to the Body-Disposal Site
16.1% Left Town
16.1% Confided in Someone
14.3% Followed Case in the Media
10.0% Interjected Self Into Investigation
9.7% Contacted Victim’s Family
9.7% Contacted Law Enforcement or Media
8.3% Changed Residence

frequently news outlets edit their stories vs posting new ones... that is why snipping bits with the link is helpful..

I wouldn't read too much into it:moo:

The problem with the idea of defending one's self at trial by implicating someone else is that it's very rare to have knowledge about an illegal activity without being, at the very least, an accomplice to that activity and hence, just as guilty as the person who committed the act.

There is a "Statement Analysis" Blog that I think many here are familiar with. The owner has repeatedly insisted that nobody says, writes or types "and hence" except for Patsy Ramsey, but I see it here a LOT. You are the second poster in a week to use the phrase. The more I see it, the less I think it proves ANYTHING about who wrote the Jonbenet Ramsey ransom note. I do tend to think there are OTHER indicators pointing to her (now deceased) mother, but the claim that NOBODY EVER uses that phrase, due to its redundancy, is ludicrous.

Thank you for reminding everyone! :tyou:

I would also add that if you don't want to snip a quote from the article or if it is something which is not allowed to quote, it is very helpful to briefly describe it in your own words.

For instance; you could link an article with an interesting comment, (which we are not allowed to quote), but you can post something like " check out the comment from boogersmom, who claims to have seen yada, yada, yada, brief explanation..."

Links without a clear explanation can be a little bit frustrating for those stuck with a slow internet connection or on a work computer where social sites (like facebook) are blocked.

I agree with both of you. Her smile doesn't reach her eyes, she looks lost to me. I worked in retail for a couple years and we were told to smile at everyone even if they're rude or complaining. I know many people who always seem to have a smile on their face, regardless of the situation. It seems to be built in. My FIL is one of those people, I rarely see him without a smile, even if it's a tiny one.

Commented on this a few weeks back.....she does seem to be one of those people with a "perma-smile"....
