What proof is there that Amy was even in the car when the stepdad stopped at the gas station? CCTV? Witnesses?
There is no proof, only the stepfather's word.
You have got to be f'ing kidding me. They never even looked at taped footage on the scene?The sister, not sure if she was verified, mentioned early in there was cctv but police never looked at it. So it is the story told. Did anyone at the gas station see her In the car at any point?

Is that true? How common was it back in those days to have cameras?
How can anyone believe LE did not look at cameras.

Until the past decade or two, the concept of gas stations needing surveillance systems was nearly unheard of. This was mainly because gas was so cheap, there was really no need to steal it.
.........
as station surveillance cameras have existed for at least the past decade or two. They are usually found outside the gas station, with a broad view over the entire gas fill-up area. In past years, they were of poor quality and had limited recording time, which made them very ineffective. However, the truth of the matter is that these days, technology has come a long way and the cameras that monitor the entire gas station are much more advanced.
One big change recently is that gas stations are no longer monitoring just the fill-up area when they are doing surveillance. They are monitoring inside the store as well. The truth of the matter is that most of the robberies in gas stations happen in the store, and gas station owners are beginning to realize this.
I worked in a petrol station 20 years ago (in Australia) and while there was plenty of surveillance, in store and out near the bowsers, the footage was recorded over very quickly. One tape lasted 24 hours and I can't recall how many tape changes there were before we started recording over tapes, but it was less than a week's worth. The quality was pretty decent, I left that job after I was held up, but I still remember the stills I was shown from the footage. (They got the guy about 4 years later, he'd disguised himself well). I would think that 1989 was very primitive with regard to cctv though.
6. Is there anyone who can request the policereports? It seemed one user wanted to but had family emergencies in the way. Can anyone else get it? I would like to contribute. However I'm from out of country so I have no idea how to do so?
First of all - I hope from the bottom of my heart that the fate of this girl comes to light and if needed justice is served.
I've read this whole tread and many of the links/sources. I may have missed something though.
1. Out of where came the idea of sextrafficing? Was that a known or common thing/problem in the area? (At that time)
2. While understand and appreciate some user is advocating for the family and their situation, I just must say that people LIE, with intent or mistakenly. Any people, but most do for reasons. I cant seem to figure out why LE would either lie or be sloppy in their reports or job. What would be their motive or gain?
3. If there's many mediaarticles with false information I wonder why they arent diminshed once an for all by the implicants by a live press-conference.
4. This case is nearly 30 years old, I'm not sure I believe that releasing all (or almost) of the policematerial on the case will be an advanges for the potentiel wrongdoer, as one user indicate.
5. I miss details or knowledge of this girls 'normal' behavour. Was it in her caracter to lose patience and leave a car/father just because he was in the bathroom/getting gas? And was it normal for the father to leave his children in the car and be gone for a longer period of time, so that it would be 'excuseble' for a child to leave after waiting a certain time? In my humble oppionen it is odd to assume she would leave the car and start walking home - but that may not be odd for her and her family. Though I cant find anything where the family explain what would be normal or not normal for them (in this matter)?

Forgive my gramma and perhaps spelling issues. I hope my writing is understandable.
Amy suffered from epilepsy. They assume she had a seizure, became confused and disorientated and wandered away from the Holiday gas station. Amy also had a history of running away from home. A lot of people think Amy didn't make it off of the family farm. Several years ago, LE dug up certain areas of the family farm in hope of finding Amy. There are a lot of places to hide a body in Isanti County.
I dont think it was recorded medically that she was epileptic.
This case never leaves my mind. Shortly before finding out I was pregnant last fall I took a walk around downtown Osseo and even stopped in at the holiday station. I honestly in my heart dont believe that she was ever at that gas station. I also would love to know besides family when was the last time someone actually seen her physically?
