kylie said:LE is law enforcement............And you did a really nice job with the blog ,it looks great........Joni I hate to have to ask you this but where there any serial killers operating in the area...........did LE take any note of neighbors or do background checks on anyone living nearby? Have they attempted to reinterview neighbors?
welder 79 said:iam new to this too. joni you doing a very good job!!!! just hang in there hopefully we will find out what really happened and i pray every night she's is safe somewhere.
There is someone checking on that for me. So I will wait. It got quiet here. But I see that a lot of people are at least checking the blog at http://360.yahoo.com/jl.spencer@sbcglobal.net. I am so grateful for the conversation and I am hoping it will continue to generate interest. I will be taking some time off work soon and hope to do some investigating myself. I will make the phone calls I need to make to KPD and go from there. I am so grateful to you for setting this up for me. It's been an emotional ride for me. Even after 30 years . . . But I am not giving up. Life has it's way of interupting, but I will not quit. I promise. And I will continue to check this thread. Thanks again.kylie said:Joni, Did you ever contact the Doe Network to find out where the info came from - or did you say it was from a detective? Can they tell you anything? The info had to have come from somewhere..............I think a letter from a lawyer to the police department just requesting confirmation or denial that Lori was found might help...................
I really appreciate the encouragement. It is tough to keep up the work. Humanly, I get emotional and then justify letting it sit for awhile. I can easily get discouraged. Afterall I have had a lot of dead ends and disappointments in 30 years. Time is also an issue as "life has to goes on." My plans are to spend some time on getting down the story of the search. I will put it in detail on my blog in the next few weeks. I also check this thread daily. It helps to know someone is out there to listen. God bless all of you who do.Mullins said:Joni, I'm glad you have found some options and please keep in touch with us here at WS to let us if we can help further or if you just need someone to talk with about what is happening with you/your sister's case. I know how emotional this must be for you and I admire you for moving forward. You are an awesome sister! When/if you become discouraged, we are here to help you find another perspective or another avenue.
The only thing I am sure about is that there was a discussion about her recovery in Oct 2004. My brother found that discussion on this Web site after running a search on her name. Then he checked Doe network and it was just a simple statement about her being recovered. No details. My brother was very upset because he felt that they were either reporting falsely, gotten wrong information or that someone did know something and had not told her family. But mostly I think we feel that the police slighted us. I know it is not true. But you know when you hurt so badly and don't know what to do or turn to, it gets easy to blame others for the crisis. I guess it helps a little to have something to focus anger on. I know it isn't LE fault. Someone knows what happened to Lori though. SOMEONE KNOWS. That is the infuriating thing. And yet we are left with this pain of not knowing. So I am venting again. I think it is helping a little. But again thanks. I am waiting on another member on this web site to check with DoeNetwork about the particulars. All we got from them was it was reported to them by Det. Woolfe from Kettering PD. KPD has not responded to my brother e-mail about it.Hollow said:Joni, I hope this wasn't stated already, and I just missed it. Do you know what the date was or around the time when she was supposed to have been located???

Once a case is closed, the files are supposed to become public information. A trip to the archives unit at the PD and a small fee for copies should allow any interested party access to them. But until the case is closed the police have no obligation to release anything from their files.bykerladi said:Joni,
Did you ever seek legal advice? Check out the local open public records act laws in your state. Seems to me that even if they can't tell you where she is, they can tell you why they think she's alive and safe somewhere.

Joni Lloyd said:Why and who made the decision to remove her? I am just trying to find out if there was new information or if there is a mistake. I am Lori's oldest sister and my family has suffered for many years. We just want to know if she is alive somewhere or if this is just a mix up. Thanks.
Hollow said:Welcome James !!! It's nice to have you!!! I think your family needs to directly, either by phone or preferably in person, contact the police that were in charge of your sister's case. Ask them what is going on, and if she hasn't been found, get her re-posted on doe network. It's obvious your family has been really frustrated over this, this issue needs clarification.
