Just thinking of dear Celina today.
It's so true. Nobody had anything to say or anything to offer, so oh well. I have read everything on here and off here about this child. Not much said from locals about a child killer among them either. Poor baby.This was perhaps the first Websleuths case I followed from the beginning. Even then I was unsatisfied with (what seemed to me) an almost casual way the local and state police were handling the case. It's a pattern I have seen since with other cases: when the family has reached a certain level of dysfunction the police seem to write even the children off.
In any case, I have not forgotten you Celina.
The silence in this case from LE, the family (especially the family), the community and friends of the family is absolutely deafening.
No outcry for justice for Celina in the media, no demand for justice on social media (save one distant relative), I don't even see occasional pictures or mentions of Celina on her family/friends FB pages.
Even on birthdays or other special anniversaries? :'(
An 11-year-old girl whose disappearance prompted a massive search in 2011 before her body was found in the Connecticut River remains a haunting presence in her rural New Hampshire town...
Three years later, investigators remain silent about the details of Celina's death except to call it a homicide.
As of the weekend, there were no public memorial services planned to commemorate the third anniversary of Celina's death, and resident Shannon Towle hopes it stays that way. The previous anniversaries have attracted hordes of media, she said, and only served to unnerve children still struggling to cope with the security of their town being shattered.
"The kids who were her close friends are still dealing with this," said Towle, whose family owns the gas station and convenience store across from Celina's apartment in northern New Hampshire. She said news of an arrest would be cause for celebration...
Lyons said there is widespread frustration that the case has not been solved. "We recently had a case of someone grave-robbing in Colebrook, and it was solved in two weeks," Lyons said. "You wonder how that can be so quickly resolved when we have the death of a young girl coming up on three years and it's still not solved."
The case has yet to be added to the long list of unsolved murder cases investigated by the state's cold case unit.
"The initial team, including myself, continues to work on this," said prosecutor Jane Young, who heads the criminal bureau for the attorney general's office. "There has not been a period of time when it's been dormant or there haven't been leads to investigate."
Celina and Kyron are ones I have followed since day one. I really wish there could be some closure.
I have followed those as well. Karen Swift and Susan Jacobson are two others that have no answers, and it drives me crazy!Me, too...And Heather Elvis. It seems none of the cases I follow end up with closure. At least at this point. I pray this changes in all of them.
