Slyon, I do have some questions. If you can't answer b/c it might hinder the investigation, then that's fine.
Who was supposed to go with Catherine to get the RV? I've seen both her son and Lytle mentioned.
Did someone actually see her the morning of 10/5 or not? Most reports say she was last seen by Lytle the evening before, but then a few reports (and her daughter) have said she was seen early the next morning. I believe her daughter has said that the son saw her.
Those are two really confusing points for me. If you can clarify, that would be great.
Belimom, I do not wish to comment on your two questions because of several reasons; not only the sensitivity of people that mentioned the above comments, but also because I'm not going to discuss Catherine's case due to the same reason that I have mentioned earlier; a large part of this investigation is private, and it is private for good reasons.
I hope that posters of this thread can put on our family member's shoes, walk around in them for a while, and maybe then they will understand what I am trying to convey in this thread.
Please keep in mind that some of Catherine's relatives are of a young age, some possess a very sensitive nature, and some are very close to her even though it is not well known in the media; and for them to read certain things on the internet espeically if it came from me, or any of their relatives, it can be very devistating for them. There is much at stake that I am protecting here; it is other people's hearts and feelings, it is also about me protecting Catherine's privacy that she cherished before she was known on the internet, it is also, and most importantly, a matter of keeping family and friends out of any possible "harm's way" and not just information that is vital to Cath's case, (private investigations are not only protecting the missing person, but other family members and friends as well by withholding information), even though I am fervently and vehemently protecting all of these things and will be relentless in doing so.
However, I "do" understand why all of you want to discuss her case, and thankfully it is discreetly being discussed in an appropiate website specifically for that purpose, and is tucked away nicely from the average internet surfer; since there is nothing worse than being a family member that is surfing the web for other non related subject matter or material, i.e. pictures for a homepage, or a school project, etc.., only to bump into a website that is stating possible graphic information about your relative. That is why I appreciate this thread, it is not all over the web for others to see, only for those that are serously interested in the subject matter would find this site.
Some things I can clarify, but not much: Don Lytle mentioned that there is a history of anersisms in our family, that was a misunderstanding on his part, I have since talked to him, and he now understands, so no, there is not a history per say of anersims in our family. Don Lytle was Catherine's boyfriend a long time ago, he has since then, been just Catherine's friend over the years. Catherine's bunny died before she showed up missing. It is true that Catherine would never even hurt a fly. Cathy also has many close relatives that are for some miraculous reason, we have remained hidden from the media and have thankfully not been in the spot light. What you read on the internet or in the media, is merely only the people that knew her, or are related to her, that have chosen to speak out due to frustration of not knowing everything, or just to speak their pain, some that have spoken out earlier, have since then decided to not speak out any further, and will not be heard from again. Many of us relatives are speaking very little on the internet and through media.
There is much information into investigation cases that are not revealed, even things that no one would have probably ever guessed were connected to a certain case. Most cases are complicated like that, it is not anything unusual, life is very detailed in general, so one could easily see how much information that investigators have to piece through. What you have read in the media is just a small tip of the ice berg, as one's common sense would lead one to know this to be true.
Most investigation cases are not public until they are resolved; criminal investigations as a whole don't usually provide information to the public while it is considered an "ongoing investigation", and each case includes investigatory material that is considered confidential under state law.
Ask me anything that you want to, but I will decline in answering any questions that are directly related to her case, whether it was revealed to the media or not. I will give you what little information that I feel is safe enough for my family and Cath's friends for you all to have (for example; if a suspect is still at large while a case is under investigation, it could put family members or friends in harm's way; I can't spell this out any clearer than that fokes, the words "safety" and "protection" become more important to families than informing the media with what they know, one could then understand why the family of a missing person is not speaking out, and please don't assume that this is the case with Catherine's investigation, but it also can't be ruled out of any case until that investigation is resolved). I know I have not told all of you much, but hopefully I have gotten my point across crystal clear on the very important reasons why information from many investigations are hidden from the public eye (it is a sensitive timing issue on when to involve the media and with only certain information) and why families do not partake in sharing in what they know.
p.s. Just wanted to make myself perfectly clear here; I am in no way upset with anyone involved in this thread; so please don't apologize for some imaginary feelings that you believe may have made me upset or hurt, that you may thought to have picked up from reading my post. My emotions have remained the same; steady, calm, and unruffled. No one in this thread has offended me in any way.
All my love goes out to Catherine, and thank you all for your concern for her welfare, it is always nice to know that Catherine has not been forgotten.
Peace and love to all of you and to all living kingdoms on our beloved mother earth.
