GUILTY SC - Gabrielle Swainson, 15, Columbia, 18 Aug 2012

[margarita25]

Sure wish this suspect would give some information as to Gabrielle's whereabouts. Someone needs to go Guantanamo on his arse til he gives up where she is.
I would like to see every abducted child's case get the kind of media exposure that Jessica's case did.
At least this guy is behind bars... Surely and hopefully they can convict on the dna evidence.
I'm sure LE has searched every nook and cranny around this guy's residence and work.
This poor mother deserves some closure.

Wow...I wonder if they will ever get the suspect to talk...or to confess.

I really believe that he just did not start with these 2 girls. Somehow I believe that there are more young girls not identified as connected to him. His past is just too violent.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least. I wasn't able to open your article but I found another one that is just as chilling. I can't believe this crazy <self-censored> was even allowed on the streets after his lengthy criminal history. To think, this is probably the last person Gabbiee ever saw. :furious:

In one of the sworn statements, investigators say the teen's cell phone was last activated at 7:35 a.m. the Saturday Gabbiee went missing. The signal was last detected in Elgin just 400 yards from Grant's home. The investigator even calls it "more than a simple coincidence" that Gabbiee's phone was turned on for the last time near "the mother's boyfriend's residence."

Even if they never find Gabbiee, Grant may get life.

If convicted on the ammunition charge, Grant could face a possible life sentence if a judge determines that his prior convictions make Grant an armed career criminal, according to federal prosecutors.

Midlandsconnect has an indepth interview with Gabbiee's mom. Mom describes Gabbiee as "fun, energetic, and artistic." From the interview, you can tell how conscientious Gabbiee's mom is about developing Gabbiee into an intelligent, well-rounded person. Despite the evidence found by the police, Mom appears certain that Gabbiee is alive and will walk through her door again. Oh how I hope she's right.

Is there no news in Gabbiee's case -- anyone hearing anything at all?

Not forgetting Gabbiee and her mom during this holiday season.

The attorney for an Elgin man suspected of kidnapping a Columbia teen claims the teen ran away from home and any evidence found during a home search should be removed from the case.

:what: Yeh, right. If this wasn't so sad, I'd be laughing my head off. :banghead:
Freddie Grant is a BFL. :furious:

Had to post this lovely photo of Gabbiee:

What a beautiful girl. She has been in my thoughts and prayers since she disappeared. I wish we would hear something new about the case.
