Note to ALL: DO NOT speculate and post what you *think* you see in AH's photos. Regardless of the intent, to do so breeds harmful rumors. I'm pretty sure none of us posting here wishes to add to AH's suffering.
You're so right, Bessie. I didn't think of what speculation about her appearance could cause.
I wonder if zenia will let jimmy visit abby. Even if a short visit. Its sad this ordeal would end her friendship with jimmy in such a manner. Like for example they were bf and gf and then nothing. Anyhow i was just thinking

I wouldn't let that boy anywhere near my child. She needs as much privacy as she can get without having to hide. This kid's dad already splashed allegations about her sex life all over the Daily News or whatever. Anything she says to the kid is going to be released immediately by his father to the media.
I like her. I haven't encountered her before this case but I think she has been fantastic. Maybe it's cos I'm a Brit? lol
Its not just you. Jane Young is very well regarded by many in her state due to her record.
Yeah, must be a personal preference thing. I much prefer someone who keeps her cool under pressure and maintains a business-like attitude in public in these cases. Someone who is a public mouthpiece who doesn't get caught up in emotional pressure or maneuvering, and isn't tempted to stray into public perception issues on account of that, if that risks her main goal. She does her job efficiently and with singular focus. That's my sense, at least. JMO.
Agreed. The problem is I think that people are unrealistic about what LE can and should do. Sometimes there is no evidence. Perps get lucky or are able to hide their crimes for long periods. If they snatch a child or woman off the street and no one sees them do it and no cameras are around, how is LE to find them? If they kill their captive in a private or isolated area and dump the bodies in a forest, or keep their victims chained or locked in a place no one goes to or can access, why and how is LE to magically solve it the case? If they leave no forensic evidence and there is more than one possible perp, and suspects have invoked, what is LE to do, resort to torture?
Sometimes there just isn't enough evidence to work with. Yet people often naively believe they have the power to solve every case and if they aren't solving these cases quickly, they must be doing something very wrong.
I believe that that is the CSI effect in action. Everything is nicely wrapped up through incredible hunches and sophisticated forensic technology, within an hour. People subconsciously adapted their expectations based on decades of these shows. But it is not reality. Reality is grimmer, harder and less satisfying, typically.
Respectfully shortened.
Ewww. This creep didn't release his victims. They were located and freed by LE.
Are there any other crimes similar to Abigail's where a male kidnapped and kept a young female for months and then he released her? tia
There are more sex trafficking cases where this happens. The perps tire of the sex slave or he or she age out and they are often kids that the traffickers believe no one cares about or is looking for, so they aren't afraid to release them.
I think release of a captive in a case like this- nationwide attention, beloved, attractive child- is unusual. That just tells me that this is a perp with some personality issues that make him feel invincible or entitled or smarter than others. I believe it tells us much more about the perp and about the intelligence and strength of the survivor than points to any credibility issues as I feel your posts may be implying.
