This will seem OT at first but I am posting it to make a point, for those who are skeptical, etc...
There's a really good movie which is based on a true story that was made a long while back about a kid who went missing from his bus stop and an old car was seen by other kids waiting at the bus stop. It was in a big city. The kid was missing for a long long time and the cop had lots of peeps calling in tips, none of which panned out. One woman called from another (neighboring) state regularly saying the kid was "next door to her, she sees him out in the yard sometimes," then she would say "why just yesterday I saw him, I was having tea with Jesus...".she was continually dismissed as a crackpot and her many call ins were ignored and never checked out. After a year the detective working on the case decided one day when he had his own young son in the car on a Saturday to "take a little trip" and he drove out to where this "crackpot" woman said she lived. (I think the case was in NYC and he drove to New Jersey, IIRC) He had little hope but thought he would just "check it out". He gets to the woman's house, ...lo and behold parked next door is a car that matches the description of the one that supposedly was around the bus stop. He tells his son to wait in the car, goes and talks to the "crackpot woman" first, she is a nut but has moments of lucidity,(says "its about time, I TOLD you he was next door..._) The cop ends up going next door and knocking on the door and lo and behold, the missing boy answers the door.Looking different, haircut is different, etc. He asks the kid if his name is so and so, (the kidnappers had changed his name, called him something else) and about that time a kinda crippled woman shows up behind the kid at the door, the cop reaches in and takes the boy by the arm and kind of pulls him out onto the porch with him....the crippled woman had her halfway retarded son steal the little boy as someone to help her out around the house...the cop calls the local cops, puts the kid in his car with his own boy, got a police escort from where he was to the stet line, lights flashing, its very dramatic, and then he was met at state line of the state this boy lives in by a police escort from that state, by this time you are bawling your eyes out, I don't care who you are!!!
Cut to a scene of the mom, its been over a year since her son went missing, she has refused to give up hope but totally does not expect this. She has left her apartment to go to the store, walking (as like I said she lived in a big city, perhaps NYC, don';t remember... )has their dog (her little boys dog) with her, ties the dog up outside a store and goes in, comes out w/ a bag of groceries, has dog on leash, walking back to her apartment. The sound of many sirens are heard, first far away then getting closer. Coming closer, the dog gets a little nuts and breaks free from her grasp on the leash, dog starts running toward the line of cops cars coming towards them, sirens going....cop cars are flying down the street towards her now w/ the cop in his car with the 2 boys in his car as the lead car, he stops, the mom drops her grocery bag in the street, an incredulous look on her face... and suddenly her son gets out of the car, dog running wildly to him, the mother runs to him, they fall into each others arms....am sure some of it was changed for dramatic effect but I tell you everytime I see that movie I get chills and bawl my eyes out. I believe its called "Still Missing". Its a movie that will teach you to not give up hope, that miracles can happen, that even crackpot calls should be checked out. If you have never seen it and ever get a chance, I highly recommend it. Everyone who posts here would love it as its a story "right up our alley" and based on a true story. I think Brian Dennehey is the cop who won't let the case go. I was thinking of this movie when I got up this morning and read about this new lead. Don't give up hope. This could be the one off-the-wall lead that's the answer.
If its not, I suspect a big depressive let down. But I am still keeping the hope alive. Not saying I expect Kyron to be found alive, but hoping he is found anyway.
