Yes, and thanks for the kind warm words of comfort. Even if one person took time out of their busy day to read about my sister and nieces case, it really means so much to me. They have no "dog in the race", so to speak.... They did not know Wendy or Cynthia, or Lisa, nor do they have any reason to waste their time, yet they cared enough to sit and read about the case and truly, that in itself keeps her memory alive and makes me feel proud to know that there are those out there that are so giving and trying to help me and my family solve this. I love each and everyone person on here for that, you just will never know. I need to update!!!!!!! I DID find Beverly's number yesterday on the internet. I DID speak to Johnathan, and he was surprised to hear it was the 20th anniv., it seems to me that beverly DOES NOT even talk to him about his mother or Cynthia, his half-sister!!!! Also, I DID confirm that Ida, Beverly's mother, DID in fact pass away last September, I guess 2011, from cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes. I basically told Beverly that in all of 20 years I had never approached her to ask questions, partly because of the fact that my parents were in charge of the case, and secondly, I did not feel it was my place even when I was made the front man/spokesperson for my family. I am not an easy person to anger, but in this instance, i felt unhinged and did not trust myself to speak to her without her hanging up on me within minutes. I have to give her credit, I did lash out at her and she took it, claims her innocence, and I told her I had no qualms about "kidnapping" her and torturing the truth out of her, and that I was ready to go to jail for the rest of my life if it came to it, and she just took it.... I am upset to know that she has never r to this day offered help to my family, and told her so. I explained how bad it made her look that on UM her mother was saying wendy was "a-grippin and a-*****in": I explained that if *I* were under the scoop and was the last person seen with three missing people and I even had the lady's other child, I would have been VERY humble and telling the tv interviewer that "yes, she was our ex-daughter in law and yes, we had arguments over the years, yet at the same time we wanted nothing bad to happen to her and we hope the case is resolved quickly and that every one is found safe and soon:. She silently listened, and offered no further words. I asked her why, in all this time, she never even called my family and said sorry, I *WAS* the last person seen with her, yet I always hoped that they would be found" or at least offer help to find her financially? I mean the fact that a private det. even worked for my parents for practically nothing because my parents could not afford anything else at that point meant nothing to her! Anyway, I did not mean to write a book, I just feel confused at this point....Why did she let me rant and rave??? She just took it.... I feel no better about it, and ended the call with at least some semblance of respect by telling her that I needed to collect my thoughts and I would call her in a few days when I calmed down, and she said that would be fine!!!!! I am sooooo confused, and maybe I should get everyone's take on the conversation, maybe some insight from you all who can think through it without all the emotions i have coloring my opinion> ? I truly do not know what to think at this point! Had it been me, I would have hung up on someone calling me like that, but i was respectful at the end. I did not even apologize to her for the threat, and she never brought it up! If anyone can offer suggestions, please let me know! There is so much more that I asked and said to her and Johnathan, we talked for almost 30 min before I talked to Beverly, and then I talked to Beverly and additional 35 min....
Please, no one point out i should not have threatened her, I know, I know, it was childish. It was just the emotions and anger flooding out, that is the only way I can explain it, honest. Then after waiting to ask the questions for years, they stuck in my throat, and I felt intimidated at first, then they came pouring out... Please read the conversation over again and let me know what I should or shouldnt say when I call her again in a few days. Does anyone have any idea why she would just sit there and calmy take what I dished out? Yes she did get angry back, but calmly insisted that she was innocent over and over....anyway if anyone want more of the conversation, let me know as I could go on for days and days writing it out, and dont want to waste anyones time....If everyone wants the whole conversation, let me know and I will write an update to this. Love to all of you, and thanks for remembering my wonderful sister Wendy and my sweet little niece Cynthia yesterday. I will forever treasure them and they are with me everyday. (I wish they would give me some clue as to what happened though!!!!)
Thanks for the time you gave me just now~

PS I posted some photos in my profile album of my eldest son who is graduating high school on June 3rd, and I am so emotional with saddness and happiness that I dont know if I am coming or going! I have no sister to share my happiness, so I wanted to share my happiness with my wonderful Websleuth family!!!!! My sister would have been so proud of him and I feel robbed that she wont be there with me sharing that special day with us except in spirit. Feel free to visit the photos! Also I am on facebook, send me a friend request if you feel to do so, I would be honored to add you!!!!!! Here is my link!
