I live in the Jeff City area and am familiar with all the talk that is going on. First off let me start by saying the weather during the events was nasty, cloudy, rainy, soggy. If/when AB did kill EO there is no way she could have came back to the house without some sort of indication she was in the woods. I also don't think there is any way she could have drug the body (well at least not by herself) so I am going to guess she some how tricked her to somewhere close to the grave. Also if she did have to drag her I really think the dogs would have caught onto the scent but maybe I am wrong about that. The story about the 2 graves has been floating in this area since the day they found EO... and there is more to that if we have a rumor thread.
I am glad you brought this up. What I have posted came from a source that I trust.
Right now there are tons of rumors flying around and I hate seeing Websleuths turned into posts with tons of rumors. People then take rumors as fact and everything gets messed up.
I Love Cookies has been verified by me as someone who knows the family. Therefore what ILC posts is based on direct information.
If you want to post information based on how close you live by the perp that's great. Also, posting theories is a great way to go through the evidence.
The only reason we have a rumor thread on the Haleigh Cummings case is because so many, I mean a huge amount, of locals were posting. They all knew the family in some way. We have that rumor thread in the private area of the forum.
I do not want to see this case become another Haleigh case on Websleuths by starting a rumor thread. A rumor thread has to be moderated very closely and we don't have the mods nor the time to do that now.
Let's try something a bit different. If you are a local and you have heard a rumor you think is worth repeating then you can post it on Websleuths as long as it is clearly marked rumor and as long as it doesn't violate TOS.
We will not allow any innocent names to be used. Just because someone knows the family or whatever does not mean they can be thrown out on the Internet.
OK here is the deal. If you are a local and you have heard a rumor that is not ridiculous post it clearly as a rumor.
I won't check if you say you are a local. This is different than saying you know the family.
If this doesn't work out because people start relying on rumors or repeating rumors as fact we will change it back.
If anyone has any questions go ahead and ask me, PM me or email me at
