I wonder what position the car seat was in? Stephanie is short.
Also wondering about scratches and/or bruises? Maybe a reason not to report her missing!
For the past year or so I have been totally addicted to the ID channel. I wouldn't watch anything else! I would keep asking myself why I was so obsessed and the idea that one day this might become useful did cross my mind (and it scared the crap out of me!) but I thought I was being paranoid. How scary that this is happening! But I think it has made me look at things differently then I would have otherwise. I don't know if that's a good thing or not! I just hope and pray this has a better ending than those shows!!! Needless to say, I can't watch that channel anymore.
Thanking you all, again!
Thank you for checking in, for-Ashley. Those are both really good questions. My advice would be to email JCSO with the question about the seat, even though it seems obvious. I've sent them two emails with the results of my sleuthing that shouldn't be posted here. The one I posted here out of frustration and impatience the other day was removed by a mod, and rightly so. But I thought it was something JCSO might miss, so I passed it along to them. If they think I'm nuts, so be it.
Unfortunately, we've kind of reached the end of the road here until more info is released. I don't know if you are in touch with Stephanie's family, but I hope they are keeping in touch with JCSO. And I hope they know that those of us on this thread care.
I've never watched the ID channel, and looking it up just now, I can see how you could get hooked on it, just like some of us get hooked on Websleuths. I don't think I'd better watch it! It's a delicate balance not getting pulled into too much dark stuff.
I would like to ask you some questions, since you are the only one posting here who actually knows Stephanie. I'm not sure if you've been verified as an insider yet, so you probably shouldn't answer these questions unless you have been.
Just from studying Stephanie's Facebook page, I get a feeling that there is a possibility she had some unconventional viewpoints (I'm being purposely vague). Is this something new? Do you think she is the kind of person who might come to feel so strongly about a cause that she would "go underground" so to speak and cut off contact with her family? Or perhaps even feel she needs to protect them by cutting off contact.
Sometimes people get sucked into something that seems benign at first. I'm thinking of all the charitable works Jim Jones did in San Francisco back in the '70's. There were highly educated, well-meaning people who went with him to Jonestown and died there. Brainwashing is a subtle thing and it can happen to anyone.
I'm probably grasping at straws, but I really want to think she is alive and purposely incommunicado for some reason.
If you have any info you think would be helpful, please post it. I'll check by daily to see if there is anything new we can talk about. For now, I will keep Stephanie and all of you in my prayers. Don't give up!
