Ot: It was 1936, so I apologize for making light and saying a gazillion years ago. I don't mean to minimize your DH's Grandfathers passing.
Pennsylvanian's have been robbed for years when it comes to the Johnstown Flood. I don't think that the kids should be force to study it, but I do believe that it's quite a bit of interesting history and that the citizens should be aware of what happened and what continues today. Not sure how the state has been able to legally get away with this for as long as they have, as I have not studied it that intensely. Maybe it's just people in general don't realize it's there and so there isn't any push back.
Okay guys, I'm off my soap box. Sorry!!!!!
The flood happened in May, 1889!
Not verified but by looking at a photo of Celina and her sister and "brother", who was named as KM and comparing that to the one cited, which is on a relation's FB page, it looks to be the same person.
Very interesting comments. I am sure the LE has seen this? maybe, hopefully. thanks for posting.
Very interesting indeed. But I'm sure LE knows all about it. "B" discusses how LE tore the truck apart and there was blood in it. (Citing to rumor only!)
i do believe that someone in the home murdered her, but you have to take the bio dad's statements with a grain of salt IMO.
It is a recurring theme in these kinds of cases... bio parent who hasn't seen the kids in a year or two claims they were 'kept from the children'. Bull*****. Until I see court records where he petitioned for his parental rights, I really don't believe his self serving statements.

As a family law attorney I can state with certainty that bio parents are indeed kept from the children all the time and their lack of initiative in filing for rights or calling LE to enforce visitation rights they already were granted does not belie that fact.
Many dads especially, assume they have little rights or that the courts, LE will favor the mom (the latter which is not far from the truth). I had a client tell me how mom was demanding he have less time now that she had a new dude who came with a new kid and he said, 'I guess there is nothing I can do about it." Mom is also completely nuts, violent, an alcoholic and on drugs. My client now has 100 % custody and the mom only sees the child under dad's close supervision. But dad was certain he could do nothing about her attempts to lessen his contact.
Also, there are dads who, if everything seems okay, don't fight hard to see the kids. That, too, does not mean they were not kept from the child or children. If Mr. Laro is to be believed, it sounds like he didn't see the kids much, in part because he moved away for ten years but also, in retrospect, because some of his efforts were dissuaded by excuses that the girls were busy or not there.
AL could have been a neglectfully absentee dad (albeit possibly with some excuse due to poor health). But that does not mean that upon learning of his daughter's death, he didn't reassess his more recent attempts to contact his kids and found that in context, mom's excuses as to why they could not see him, now seem fishy. It is possible and given that a beautiful little girl has been found dead and we are receiving almost nothing from LE about what happened or what they have discovered, I would say that anything said by any of the family members
could be significant and should not be taken with a grain of salt. Until we know all the facts about all the players and family members, they can help to paint a picture right now.
Typo. It has been fixed.
