That is why I asked too, I have two of his Fb accounts and saw nothing about this on either of those sites.
I do not know if this is the correct place for this, but since there has been much discussion about things, I am putting it here:
Believe and Cubby--
You two (along with Dream and Christine) are the people I respect most here at WS. I have worked with both of you on several cases and trust your judgement and guidance. You are smart, compassionate, knowledgable...you are just cool people. You are voicing things that have been floating around in my head for some time, but I was afraid to speak up about because people here would think I was a loon. I agree with you that there are so many puzzles to this situation, and that BK is not getting the "right" advice at all times. His case is completely solvable, there are so many avenues that could/should have been explored but for whatever reason were/are not. It is frustrating all around. I hope that you come back Believe. I will miss your insight here, but at the same time, I respect your need to take a break (for however long). You have worked very hard here, and deserve that break.
So...what do we do now? I am confused and frustrated. I know noone can tell me what to do, but I guess I am wondering peoples mindset on all this that has come to light.
Do we keep looking? Do we explore the Davidson angle? Is this a goose chase? If a direct connection is made, would BK even pursue it?
Do we believe the memories and look in those places? Could they be disjointed, convoluted memories, or completely incorrect all together?
Do we trust the DNA evidence? Davidsons...Powells. There still has to be a missing person somewhere, and we have not found that missing person. Why?
What does FBI Bill think? Is he even still involved? I have wondered for a long time why there has not been more of an LE presence in this case.
A lot of people, out of the goodness of their hearts have worked on this case. Noone asked them (us) to, we just did it because we want to help. BK does not need to be beholden to us, he did not ask us to help. He only has to be accountable for himself. But...if he does want help, he has to trust that we truly do have the best intentions in helping him. I KNOW to my very core that Believe, Cubby, Dream, Rose, Carolwood, and others are here, spending hour after hour because they want to help you (BK). Please believe that we can help you, and give us the tools to do that search.
For a long time now, (and I do not believe that this is BK's personal thinking, just a general attitude) I have felt that we are an annoyance to "some". Comments have been made that questions have been asked "ad nauseam" and that he is tired of answering them. I do not truly believe that is true...if he truly wants to be found, these questions are the key to finding the answers. Some questions would be a nuisance, but still necessary. It could only take one question, perhaps one that has been asked before, to trigger a memory, a thought. I can understand that having this situation over ones head 24 hours a day can be frustrating, but to find the answer in ONE of those questions would make every single question asked a million times worth it. I would hate to think that some of these questions are not asked of him because people have other motives. I would also hate to think that all of these questions are irrelevant because we are not getting the "whole" story. I for one, if I am to continue here, will start to ask those difficult questions that may need to be asked. I appaud you Cubby and Believe for voicing some of those questions/concerns and I hope that BK is brave enough to answer them. We are not trying to hurt you BK, we are trying to help you.
For the record, we know inequivocally, that he was not assaulted? I have been unclear on this for awhile. What is the theory then of how he was found? This too, may be a key to some of the answers.
Does BK even want to be found? If so, where do we go from here? I think for me the fact that BK seems to have given up and is ready to just live this life is sad. What about everything he was before? This is only six years of his new life. What about that old life? What about his family? Friends? Was he so disconnected from them before that it does not matter? Or is it just that he does not remember, so does not have any emotional responsibility to them? BK--if you read this--please do not give up. I know that this is such a frustrating situation, but there IS an answer out there. Somewhere there is family who spent holidays with you, loved you, that I hope you loved back. I guess for me the answer is not to keep working on this, but why would we not? Until there is a family reconnected, he (BK) has a choice to make, a responsibility to make to everything he was before. Perhaps he was father. Perhaps a brother, a husband, a son. He WAS someone. He is someone now, but not complete. It is more than just getting a social security number and getting a job. It is getting a life. He does odd jobs for others, lives with someone, etc but does not have a complete life. If I were in his shoes I would not stop until the day I dropped dead. Those six years that you have now, have brought new people to you. But, you, BK, are missing so much. Grandchildren, nieces, weddings, and deaths, from your old life. Education, a career, perhaps something as simple as a dog. Out there is a dog waiting for you to come home.
(Stepping on my soapbox here: Are there people who are not taking what we do here seriously and who mock our abilities? I do not have a PH.d in Physics, but I know I am one smart cookie. I do not like to work with LE, but I have become a fairly decent researcher, AND I do it for free. People in the "know" should be jumping all over people like Believe, Cubby, me, and all you fine people here you volunteer your time. We could be using our energies elsewhere, but chose to use them here. I am tired of people (some in LE) not taking what we do here seriously. We are a great group of people, a smart group. We do have value here, we do work very hard to find answers, and we deserve respect and admiration from the investigators and families who are seeking answers. I am tired of someone like Believe, who is just plain awesome, from getting burned out and frustrated because she is not valued for the work she does. It is time for some respect people--we deserve it. For example. That reporter that Believe was corresponding with. They were so smug to Believe, and yet they do not know 1/2 of 1% of the facts that she does. They cannot even get their story straight! Unbelievable! ---Stepping off soapbox)
From the statement of purpose believe posted from the FB page.
I'm newer to FB and couldn't find any statements from this user on the wall. Did I miss them or were they possibly removed?
Can someone direct me to them if they are still there?
