There were also older posts looking for the wife and daughter of the man who posted that on FB, only these posts were made by her family, going back to 2000, on ancestry forums. There was also a post or two made by the paternal family of one of the daughters. One was just months before the 2nd barrel was found. Not sure if they all got together, though they replied to each others' posts. If it turns out to be the woman & her children from those posts, then I have to say, the clues were on line since 2000, only no one pieced it together.
At one point, those posts had been screen captures and posted on a page of OH's A4 blog but that has since been taken down, however, you can find still find the page cached.
As well, someone posted previously about the Adult Victim's ex-husband posting onto the Facebook site on TR, saying that he "was looking for his Ex-Wife and their daughter --- whose ex-mother in law had told him that they had left with a Terry Rasmussen". That's probably what prompted him to perhaps google the name and find the facebook page on this case.
I believe that the Ex-MIL has held the key to this case for years (since Daughter left with TR), but just didn't realize it. I imagine this will affect her deeply, as the others as well, but I fear she will carry an extra unwarranted burden of feeling personal 'guilt' if this identification holds true. The people in her life are really going to have to support her and surround her with love going forward.
