Found Safe OH - Katarina Bitterman, 17, Parma, 4 March 2017 *Arrest*

I think it's because it's literally right behind her home and neighborhood.
Sounds grim - and I apologize- but if someone were to dump a body.... good place to do it.

Dismiss what I posted . I thought u meant why are they searching there . For some reason, I didn't see the other half of your post!

Thanks. That was the only logical reason I could think of as well.

I hope that RSO was talked to early on.

I haven't seen ohiocases around?

How are they so sure she had her house key?

The Cleveland Metroparks' West Creek Reservation is located at 2277 West Ridgewood Drive in Parma.

Parma police said there were no specific suspicions leading them to search the reservation for the teen, it is just in close proximity to her home.

Maybe her key ring was found at the house but the house key was missing from it ?
I wonder if she had her license and a vehicle

Growing up (a long time ago) me and my sister would meet people down the street because the neighbors were nosey and tattled to my mom about everything she saw. I agree I don't think she planned on being gone long..this case is worrisome!

Here's a local reporter from Facebook live report , she walks part of the search area behind the house that shows the terrain well

I still have not heard if her phone was plugged into a charger or not at the home . that would be very helpful in knowing. has anyone heard about her phone one way or the other yet?

Somehow her scent stopping almost at the RSO'S home doesn't seem coincidental to me.

I am very afraid this isn't likely to end well. I wonder if he tricked her into meeting him.

Would LE have any extra leeway in following up such a lead (scent trail ending) given the RSO status? Or would they be following the usual rules of warrant application, etc?

Family cancels vigil planned Friday night for missing Parma teen

Also, Police said they are focusing the search efforts in the Cleveland Metroparks West Creek Reservation area. This is adjacent to Bitterman's residence.

OK this is troubling to me.

I thought so too. Why would they cancel the vigil?

If solving her disappearance was as easy as walking down the street and arresting the first RSO, this case would have been solved yesterday.

I wonder if anything else is missing from the house?

I wonder if she was depressed?

Not necessarily. They would still need to find evidence of a crime.

I've seen this in the past in the event of a discovery (good and bad).

On Facebook the vigil says it was cancelled "out of respect for the family". Maybe friends decided to do a vigil without really discussing it with the family and they just did not feel comfortable with it?

For parolees that still have to check in with a parole officer, generally, they can have their house searched at any time for no real reason. I don't think that's the case with RSOs. I think they need evidence of a crime and get a warrant, like anyone else. Not positive, though.
