The news is getting ready to have a news conference on Facebook. I'm watching it here. Two people onsite posted on FB that they had found her about 20 minutes ago.link?
I noticed that statement as well. Concerning!He also said there could be a danger to the public. So sad! I hope they get whoever did this. Prayers for Lily and her family and friends.
There are over 500 miles of bike/walking trails just in the county where I live in Indiana.Does anyone have Broadcastify to do a rewind on the scanner in the basement here?
We are not allowed to discuss anything said on the scanner here on this thread, but, it sounds like we need to hear the scanner information for the last hour or two.
I am sadly marking this case because of Lily going missing on her bike, near a trail.
I am always exploring possibilities of linkage for Lyric & Lizzy in Iowa, along with Abby & Libby in Delphi.

I have a granddaughter this age so this is just breaking my heart. I looked up registered sex offenders in her area and there are two within just a couple of blocks of her home, one with repeated assaults against a child. NOT saying it's related or that any of these people are involved in any way, but as a parent myself it is really disturbing how many such individuals live in our quiet neighborhoods.So sad and considering how she was found I doubt this is the parents or other family members doing. Given the nature of how she was left I think this is the case of a sick pervert grabbing her off the street etc and then leaving her there
