I also wanted to share a bit of wisdom an older divorce lawyer shared with hubby and me one time. He said that in all his years of counsel, he noticed that a person will not leave a relationship (even a bad one), until they have something else (either real or perceived) to go to.
I think he hit the nail on the head there.
I guess he never met me then. :floorlaugh: I left a horrible marriage with nothing but a little money, a vehicle and headed out of town not knowing where I was going or what was going to happen. But, I slept so soundly that first night away....
and.....he never met me :floorlaugh:
We need a "verified" update from a GOOD source. :maddening:
Elderly Woman Missing
Published: 4/30 7:08 pm Share Updated: 5/02 3:43 pm
Rescue teams are searching for an elderly woman. 65-year-old Linda Reed was reported missing by her husband Sunday night. Reed was last seen on surveillance cameras at 7:45 Sunday night when she bought groceries at the Walmart in Hazelhurst.
The next morning, coworkers found the gate to their parking area locked from the outside, indicating she'd not returned home.......
That same day, her friends, family and colleagues reported her missing and the Copiah County Sheriff's Office green-lit a massive search for her.
Family members say Lou Reed was the last person to talk with Linda Reed on Sunday evening, about 9 O' clock.
I didn't realize that LR's husband was the one that reported her missing on Sunday night!? IIRC the other reports had stated she had talked to her husband on the phone on Sunday night around 9 PM. I thought it was after she didn't show up for work on Monday that she was reported missing.
So how could her husband have known she was missing on Sunday night if he had talked to her by phone that same night, and he assumed she was home for the night? Anyone have any light to shed on this? TIA

He didn't. The article was wrong.
This has always been suspicious to me. Who goes to Walmart twice in an evening, unless it's some kind of emergency or something. Something's up with this. Doesn't pass the "smell" test, if you know what I mean... I personally think there was something else going on, and it comes down to one of two situations:
- either this was an excuse LR was using for them to leave the gate unlocked, or,
-the employees claiming this are being untruthful.
Any other explanations? Much welcomed... TIA :dunno:
I'm not surprised at all. She did make sure to dodge Moore Fabrication's surveillance. She had no way of knowing the quality of the camera next door and if they would be able to see her and/or enhance the video in order to see them. Also, perhaps they actually parked between the businesses in order to dodge the cameras at Moore's. Thinking they were out of range of both. I don't know were they parked the vehicles, I just know they are on tape at the other business.
I wish they would give the list of items as well.
I'm confused as to how they could dodge the surveillance camera's at Moore's Fabrication. Wouldn't the camera's be placed in a position to see anyone entering or leaving through the gate that LR had the keys to and is in charge of locking / unlocking ? So is there another entry / exit other than "the gate" allowing them to avoid the surveillance cameras at Moore's ?

But I always look at things from my perspective and don't really like to remove my blinders and see that some people do crappy things. The points that started turning me were- the items left behind. Reading glasses-most people w/reading glasses have several spares. The tooth was from her partial. Not hard to imagine self removal of that. No struggle. No blood. Only her scent at the SUV dump site-in the car and leading from the car. Her and another vehicle @ 4 am on surveillance tape leaving Moore fabrication. (Some of you aren't too keen on that, however, I am 99% sure of the validity. If they ever crack this case, I promise I will post my source). I could overrun the board with the rumors in town-how much money is missing. Did she or didn't shave a boyfriend. Is she sitting on a beach in the Bahamas? Crazy conspiracy stuff...
I think this is the first post that indicates that LR and an unidentified other were alluding the surveillance cameras at Moore's Fab.

Then there is this post that suggests the same thing:

I live in the area and thought I would answer a few of your questions.
The trailor IS located within the gated grounds of the business. As well, her husband has spoken to media. While I can not say which local news station has him speaking on camera, the 3 major news outlets are wapt16, wjtv12 and wlbt3.... just search her name.
LR has at least 2 children and numerous grandchildren living in Copiah county, a son and a daughter ... and she herself has lived here many years. Knowing this, it isnt so strange she stays here during the weeks. I assume she has ties to Carrollton only because she married a man from there.
I personally do not believe there ever was any 2nd trip to Walmart. This was only stated once, and by someone she worked with. Im fairly certain that info hasnt ever come from the sheriffs office.
Shannon Moore is a male, should anyone be thinking that is the name of the wife ... it isnt. His facebook page lists him living in Brandon, Ms, within Rankin county, which is about 30 miles northeast of Copiah. I have heard only good things about him, including he is a part time missionary.
According to the sheriff, the blanket, phone and glasses were inside the car, not spread out, outside. One problem I believe is the media seems to report just whatever is being told to them, by whomever, and as it changes, they are not correcting their previous reporting. Depending on which news outlet you visit, they even have the make of her SUV wrong.
The following things are only rumor floating about the town. I have heard her current husband makes dentures, however, I have also heard the ex she was married to twice, Von Slay, made dentures. Could be the tooth wasnt her tooth at all. In fact, in the beginning, the sheriff said there was no cause to suspect foul play, nor have I heard the sheriff mention any tooth himself. I would think had they found a tooth or blood, they wouldnt have went with no foul play in the beginning hours. It is my understanding that the local son called cell company and had them ping his mothers cell, which then sent him to the general location of her SUV. I have always been confused as to why the sheriff ever thought this was a case of dementia being the family found SUV, and present to say she was of sound mind.
In my opinion, this is a case of a lot of talking to the media before ANY facts were really known. I imagine the sheriff is doing a fine a job as he can, but frankly, in this area, he hasnt really ever had any case such as this. Overall, not a lot of killings here, and certainly no disappearance case such as this before. The areas they knew to search were searched, but this county doesnt have the personnel to search day in and day out ... especially with no leads.
Oh yes, I almost forgot ... It is being said that LR owned 3 pieces of land and had recently sold them off causing some bad feelings within the family. Im sure there is more Ive seen here I could answer, and have forgotten ... but maybe this helps a few questions. Or, adds more confusion, one.
I have enjoyed checking here daily because you guys are doing a fine job of digging up info, and you dont even live here. I myself didnt know of this second family business til you guys said so, so, thanks! That is rather interesting. And Id like to say that if any of you are here because of missing someone yourself, Im very sorry. We shouldnt need forums such as this.
