I can honestly say I am amazed about the amount of false information and stories there are on this thread. It's really frustrating to see all this. I am a friend of Robin and Wayne. For clarification in regards to Bella - she was an 11 year old Great Dane (avg life span is 7-9) who had multiple tumors on her torso . Whoever reported blunt trauma obviously had no clue what an old frail dog with tumors looks like. The vet report also said Bella did not drown. We are waiting on results from vet but I would not be surprised if the results were "died of natural causes" or cancer related. She was old...
As far as being out late -- definitely not unusual for anyone on this island to be out that late on a Friday night --not unusal at all for people with a large social circle. This is a small island so if you were coming home and needed to pick up a few things its not an unusul stop on your way home. Where they live is dark at night and is a water front home with little frontage before you are at the waters edge with dangerous strong currents - especially with the strong north cold front winds.
We are still hopeful of finding Robin alive. We hope if she was abducted that she is well and stays strong. If we are faced with a tragedy we are still hoping it is an accident -- for her daughters sake and for her sake. We are in disbelief still and pray every day for her safe return.
KentIslandGirl, thank you for coming to this forum in Websleuths - especially because you can provide some clarifications and insight. I understand the frustration you feel in seeing thoughts & speculations discussed that you know are incorrect. I would feel the same way having a friend missing. Please know that we at WS do indeed care very much about missing persons and very much want to help (in any ways we can) to locate the missing and get answers for their family & law enforcement. I join with others who are sorry that your friends W & P have had this happen.
WS is a large group, composed of a variety of persons. Some have worked in LE/as investigators, have had personal experiences with missing persons in their family/ friends, and others have led & participated in efforts to get the word out and also provide "tips" to LE. Over the years, WS has been helpful in many cases. We appreciate having someone local or that knows the people involved come to provide the type of clarifications you are providing. Without that, we can only work with media reports - which we know can often be misleading or wrong. I hope you will continue to contribute to the discussion.
For example: I've read in media reports that Robin's personal items were in her car. I believe that in an early report the list included her cell phone. However, in a recent news report they listed keys, cash and purse - but did not specifically list her cell. Do you know whether her cell was found in her car? The reason I ask is that the location of the cell/it's pings could be helpful if not in her car or the house.
Thank you again for coming to this discussion as we all are hoping that RP can be located as soon as possible.
Edit: A couple questions about the neighborhood: over the past year, have there been any incidents of prowlers or break-ins with the homes? Due to the "isolated" nature of the area, are there areas on Beach Rd. where folks not from there "hang out" - esp on the weekends?
It was the media who reported the trauma to the dog initially. As others have pointed out, perhaps the tumors/water combination caused the dog to appear that way on a cursory first sighting. What I am wondering is why her things were left in the car, wallet, etc. It sounds like she just planned on running in and grabbing whatever it was that she wanted and/or needed and return to her car? Or is that something everyone does anyway in the community?
