Found Deceased IN - Aleah Beckerle, 19, disabled, Evansville, 16 July 2016 #1

[Ironside]

I don't know why people have a problem showing ID.
I have done this at other searches. I was told they have to see who goes out and who comes back.
It's for the safety of the searchers.

This does actually make sense. Searching is dangerous. If a large group of people show up to search the organisers are not going to be able to remember everyone's name and account for their safety, Showing ID when you turn up means they can count everyone properly and ensure nobody searching gets stuck/injured somewhere without anyone knowing.

As for this being a staged kidnapping for a cash grab I really don't think so. The posts by admin on facebook recently have said things to the kidnapper like "you've made your point" etc. so I really think someone took Aleah for revenge to get at Cara or Donna. I don't think the people helping search etc. have presented themselves very well but not everyone is social media savvy. One person asked early on in the case if google could give them satellite images of Evansville the night Aleah was taken, they seemed to think google have live images of everywhere 24/7. So I think a lot of people involved in this case are well meaning but maybe just a bit dim and that may be why they're not presenting themselves very well online.

I, too, think that it makes perfect sense to require searchers to present IDs. It's just that given the arrests of a family member and those close to the family, as well as the nature of crime they have allegedly committed (beating a confession out of a homeless man), folks are seriously afraid of the possibility of the family getting a hold of their private information, their home addresses in particular (as I would be, too).

ETA: If this were my daughter, as gut-wrenching as it would be (because, more than anything, I would want her found, and therefore want to be out there every day searching), I would stay home. The FB admin even said that's what TES told the family to do (to not participate in searches). So first, through the admin, the family says they are not searching as per TES' advice, in response to the public's criticism of them not searching. Then they say that well, they are not searching because the mother had surgery recently, going to extremes to make their point, i.e., sharing post-op photos online, yet by the way, the mother and other family members are searching but not with members of the public, which would be against TES' advice. These two statements are completely contradictory to each other, and make zero sense (I am sorry if I sound harsh and critical of the family; I am just very emotional about this particular case).

As far as the staged kidnapping theory goes, I think that the possibility is close to nil. Aleah requires virtually 24/7 care, medications and supplies, which can be quite costly. I think it is possible that whatever has been done to Aleah could be financially motivated, but sadly, I do not believe that she is with us any longer, and I do not believe that there ever was a plan to hide but keep her alive for eventual financial gain.

I think this is the result of a drug debt. Family members of people in the drug trade go missing all the time. Most with no resolution, unfortunately. I am not certain Aleah in particular was targeted. Perhaps She was just the easiest, most accessible member to get out of the house. It was someone with a key - door locked so it would buy time in case someone inside the house was alerted? Someone who had a hand in "taking care" of Aleah while Cara was gone and I don't think it was a family member. I doubt she is still alive. Evidence burned with the abandoned home. This is so sad.

Was the door locked? In the beginning, it wasn't, then it was, then someone had a key. The only "official" statement I recall was in a pressed where LE said he wasn't discussing it. It so hard to keep up with the actual facts of this case.

Bumping for Aleah.....

Yes, it's always helpful when there's one story, instead of a fluid story that changes every time the media shines a light on things. :facepalm:

“Present in the home the night of her abduction was her mother and two teenage sisters,” Evansville police detective Brent Melton told HuffPost. “They’re reporting that during the night someone came into the home and abducted her and that’s where we’re at.”

Melton said there were no signs of forced entry to the home.

“Information was provided that the doors were unlocked,” the detective said.

This is the official word since it comes directly from an EPD detective, IMO. The fact that the family is saying something else later is odd. I was discussing this with someone awhile back and they think it's a bit of eyewitness memory going on but who really knows.

Very good article ("The Innocence Project determined that 75% of the 239 DNA exoneration cases had occurred due to inaccurate eyewitness testimony."). Sadly, however, I don't believe that this is relevant to whatever happened to Aleah, IMO.

This is a sad case. Where you have a total disabled woman who can't talk, uses a feeding tube and can't walked anywhere. <modsnip> the sister or family and their has said many times that aleah is in Kentucky. <modsnip> the family said Kentucky several times in the group including interviews that Kentucky was mentioned. Even Ohio equi. was there looking in the same areas which they already looked. Something about this is very fishy. I wish the family all have a polygraph tests done including the sister of aleah as she holds the key of what happened to her sister even though they said she was asleep. The biological father was arrested in June that was violence in the home and drug related. I believe that this is why aleah is missing now and/or exposed to sex trafficking.

I have still not seen coverage of this in Indianapolis media.

IMHO: LE knows what happened- and there's no urgency to the search because they know there's no need. As someone who has spent their professional career caring for children like her- this is incredibly sad and discouraging.

Yes they believe that the family knows where aleah is. Especially the mother. Who was arrested on drug related charges month(s) prior to aleah missing.

Remember how Jessica Lunsford was taken out of the house? There are some very sick sick evil people in this world. I wouldn't even rule out a sex offender yet. She was such easy prey for anyone. I see 3 possibilities here. Inside job, SO or someone sleazy that knew the family. jmo.

Yeah but she's no where near what aleah is.

Speaking of which, her ex, who lived in the home last month, just went to court over shooting a weapon inside the home:

And drugs related

This is probably a really odd question -- but is there any possibility at all that she was abducted a day earlier? ** eta: I am not suggesting the family had anything at all to do with this. And I actually do have a legitimate reason for asking. But the mods may edit if needed.

And were there any spare or disused wheelchairs?

I really do have reasons for asking, and I don't have the time right this instant to go researching around the web for the answers. tia to anyone who can answer.

Police suggest that too.

BBM.

Couldn't agree more. I am also very curious as to when Aleah was last seen by a third party (i.e., non-family member or someone not living at the residence she disappeared; by the way, I am also still not clear as to who all live at the residence from which she disappeared, unless it's just the mother and the two sisters). Whatever they may know, it seems that LE are keeping very close to the vest.

Have they searched the Ohio River? I was talking to my mom, who currently lives in Evansville, and is originally from the general area (she had heard about Aleah's case through various local media) yesterday, and her first thought was that she/her body might have been disposed of there ....

Regardless of motive (though Occam's Razor leads me to believe someone with ready access to Aleah knows where she is), I am angered beyond belief that someone would even think to take advantage of and/or harm someone so vulnerable, someone who cannot defend herself .

Yes they searched the Ohio river and came up nothing according to the Texas Ohio equu.

Do you have a source that the river has been searched? IMO, there is NO way that the Ohio River has been searched more than a light check of the banks. The river is HUGE, deep, and dirty. It has also rained a LOT since she disappeared and she could be miles and miles away by now if she was dumped in the river.

Aleah's case is so incredibly sad.
It's like people have decided not to search for her because her mother may be on drugs.
WTF? Please help find this baby, and we can sort out justice later!
So disturbing. I will just choose to not trust anyone from now on.
Anyone who could search for Aleah who does not, are just evil..
It's not about you, it's about Aleah!

Thanks for the link. It doesn't make sense that the official FB page insists the doors were locked. IMO, it is almost like the stories are changing to protect or throw suspicion toward when the evidence is questionable-like no signs of forced entry, suddenly means it's someone with a key that the family is pointing fingers at, instead of the door was just unlocked.

I think that's a little harsh. You're essentially calling me and anyone who lives nearby evil.

The fact of the matter is that they are continuously searching the same areas over and over again. Someone is giving potentially misleading tips (example: check Henderson) and it's potentially dangerous to search with this group. I don't leave the house very much but when I do, I am always on the lookout (like looking at the water when I cross the bridge over Pigeon creek, etc) but I am not actively searching for her. But I guess according to you, that makes me evil.

I want Aleah found just as much as anyone else but at this point, I just don't know what we can do. There are no leads that we know of, no suspects, tons of misleading information, and the family blocks questions or comments that could be helpful. All that seems to be happening now is a fundraiser - for what? I don't know. Are we just supposed to comb every inch of Evansville and Henderson? That's well over a hundred square MILES.

IMO, it's because they're trying to frame the one man who has been cleared already. I couldn't find a source for the info but a comment on another forum says he was at the casino at the time so that's a pretty airtight alibi, IMO. It's a rumor so we can't assume it was true BUT if it was, unless the timeframe is off, there is no way that man that they're trying to point the finger at had anything to do with Aleah's disappearance.

Ever watch Criminal minds? I hadn't until recently but it's so very interesting to see how the crime scene can tell so much about the criminal.

I am definitely NOT a profiler! It would be wonderful to know what a profiler would say in this case though.

From the crime scene, no blood, no forced entry, nothing except Aleah missing, dog didn't bark or wake up anyone, dog didn't attack anyone, I'm guessing no foreign DNA like semen or blood from the perp was left behind, we wouldn't know if any drugs or money was taken, but I don't believe it's been stated that anything else was missing.....including the primary items that would be needed to keep Aleah alive, including her mode of transport HER WHEELCHAIR!.....

From my uneducated viewpoint, that means Aleah wasn't taken to be kept alive. Unless they had been secretly taking items like her feeding tubes, her cans of nutrition, her briefs, clothing, etc, and no one noticed. Doubting that actually happened...

So....IMO, IF she was taken, Aleah was taken and killed as a message to someone! Who would it hurt the most? Her Mom and Dad? Her siblings? What messaged would be sent? Mess with us, or mess up again, a family member disappears? If a rival gang, I mean I realize just the name gang is intimidating to me, but don't they typically leave kids out of it? Maybe someone didn't see Aleah as a kid anymore?

Or....someone living in that house 'disappeared' Aleah for a whole nother reason!

All we really know is that Aleah did NOT voluntarily crawl, walk or run away from that house! Someone took her out! Those living there should know WHY she was taken, otherwise taking her to send a message would be a moot point! The message was clear "IF" someone took her. "IF" no one actually kidnapped her, those in the house still know WHY!

ALL JMO!!!!!!!
