I have spent hours today researching Ali's case and reading this thread (I'm down with the flu right now so it's a good way to occupy my time, while I'm quarantined from the rest of my family.) I joined webslueths while following Mickey's case - I don't live far from Lafayette. All that being said, I do feel as though Ali's case- as well as several others- are tied to BSL and while he is locked away from society, these girls deserve to be found- their families deserve answers.
First and foremost, my heartfelt condolences to jlowitzer. I cannot begin to even imagine your pain. Your daughter's light shines through her gorgeous eyes in all of her pictures.. may the memories you have help you through this holiday season. <3
Secondly, my only question is why wasn't the siting of the white truck prevalent in the early days of the investigation? When a teenage girl is spotted being followed and talked to by a man in a truck, then vanishes into thin air- how is the term "run away" even discussed? That is so unbelievably frustrating. I haven't seen any reports of the white truck prior to the Mickey case. Was this information ever released? Did I miss something?
I just feel this entire case was botched from the very beginning. Its horribly sad.
Someone or something has to get BSL to talk. There has to be something they can use to bargain with him. I've actually considered writing him myself, under the guise of befriending him, to see if in time he would open up to someone seemingly on his side- My husband has ties to Angola however, and the prisioners there- and has strongly advised me stay out of it. I have heeded his warning- so far.
Cases like this break my heart. What can be done to make a monster talk??? What bargaining chips can be put on the table at this point? The amount of evidence they had in Mickey's case was insurmountable, even without her remains. If BSL is responsible for Ali's disappearance, and I strongly feel that he is, there has to be evidence out there. It will be harder to track, given the amount of time that has passed- but it's there. It's time to give this girl the attention she deserves.
