ADMIN NOTE: No "verified insiders" are posting in Katelin's thread at this time.
Mods don't like to remove posts, especially those from new members. So please observe the rules, and don't ask questions which can't be answered. You place the other person in an uncomfortable position by doing so.
Also, all members are expected to know the rules (and I know many of you do). New members should take time to review them, particularly this thread:

Bumping my post from yesterday and adding:
VERIFIED PROFESSIONALS and CASE INSIDERS
We are lucky enough to have posters from all walks of life with a broad spectrum of expertise. Some hold specialized knowledge that applies to the various circumstances of the cases we discuss, and can contribute valuable insight and information. We welcome their participation.
To ensure that anyone posting as a "professional" in a specific field truly is what/who they claim to be, WS employs a verification process.
The verification process also applies to "case insiders". Relatives, friends, and others personally acquainted with a victim or suspect; or a professional working on behalf of a victim or the family, i.e., a private investigator, can submit a request to be verified as a "case insider".
If you would like to become verified, please contact the site owner at
wsverify@gmail.com with your Websleuths name, your real name, the case, a telephone number, and the times when you can be reached.
If you are a "professional" or "case insider", but would prefer
not to be verified, please understand that you will be required to follow the general rules for posting, and back up your statements with links to appropriate sources.
More information on how to submit a request, and the information required, can be found at this link:
Verification Process for Professionals and Insiders
NOTE: Websleuths does not condone members becoming personally involved in cases by initiating contact with family members, law enforcement, or the media. This does not preclude responding to a request for volunteers, or utilizing proper channels to report valid information, i.e., "a tip", to law enforcement.
