Agree. I hope zach reads the Hannah Garner thread. It has some similarities and she was found safe.
She was tired of mom and stepdad
She ran away
People were truly being blamed for her disappearance
Her items were found abandoned
Her real dad (which would be zach in this case) did daily blogs and sincere direct post to her daily
Moms wasn't working with dad at all on his efforts on finding her
There was look a likes on video that wasn't her
Her friends were getting questioned heavily by everybody; but she still stayed hidden even though she was following the case
She had young siblings that she cared about but still left during the main holidays
She didnt contact police to say iam ok
But at the end of it all; She contacted her real dad who was pouring his heart out to her on a daily basis ( which in this case is zach)
So hopefully this can bring some light to zachs heart and mind.
Hey Dexter, I love your posts and always read them in Dexter's voice!. I see things differently so I will give my thoughts about the things you mentioned. Please forgive me Zach, I am not
trying to be a downer but I am just throwing thoughts out and all of them are only my opinion.
Hannah was tired of Mom and Stepdad, she was also under 18 with no dorm to escape to. Would she have done what she did if she had? I'm not so sure.
She did run away, and the police knew she ran away pretty much the first day. Friends told of the runaway pact between them and there was info and messages on her computer stating her intent to run.
Social media blamed others for her disappearance, the cops didn't. These were a couple of 19 year old kids who need to be careful about the age of the girls they meet up and party with
but I don't believe I ever saw a prior record, I think the most they were guilty of is stupidity to be honest.
Her car was found abandoned, the rest of her stuff was gone. The police had messages where she stated that she had a bag hidden in her car for when the opportunity arose to run, the bag was gone.
She had also talked about how she would ditch her car and vandalize it just as she had. (I don't have the links to all this handy but when LE spoke to explain why they would not change the status from runaway this was all the stuff they mentioned, it's on video here somewhere).
Her real Dad was just amazing and did all the right things like Zach is now.
Moms didn't work with Dad and in my opinion it was because she knew of tensions in the home and new exactly what LE found on the girls computer. It is my belief that she stayed
quiet because she did believe that Hannah ran.
The Dad said the videos weren't her but I think the sightings of her hitch hiking by the two witnesses were.
Her friends were questioned heavily, and they answered, they told that she wanted to run away, had asked others if she could run away with them and had asked for gas money to run away.
Problem is, people were so set on it being foul play that they didn't take these things seriously. Also, in the threads people were always commenting that Hannah's friends weren't even worried,
now we know why they weren't, they knew she ran. I think some of AJ's real friends are very worried.
The final three points you make I agree with. I only read the Hannah threads and didn't post because I really truly thought she ran. LE was adamant that she ran and refused to budge on that runaway status despite public pressure. I believe Hannah could still be hidden right now if she hadn't called her real Dad but I believe that is because
she was more than willing to go completely off the grid and had planned exactly where she needed to go to do so, she also had friends in the hippie/rave sort of scene that tend to wander around a lot. I don't think that a girl who ran spontaneously with nothing at all could remain hidden like this but stranger things surely have happened. I hope I am wrong. I really truly do.
I see people mentioning the drug ties. Would there not be some sort of trail if she was taken and kept alive for monetary reasons? I would think they'd want the parents to know that they want money, how
would they do this without any cell, computer, eye witness trails at all? I haven't really thought this angle through but will now.
Sorry about the ramble! I guess to sum up, the biggest difference between the HTG case and the AJ case is Mr. Hadsell. I have never seen anything like it.
