Just wanted to update a few things about the case, as it appears that our new sheriff has a goal to solve this case and put it to rest.
LL left Alderson on December 28th and is now in Baltimore, MD in a halfway house. She is scheduled to be released on February 26th, but will remain on one-year house arrest according to her sentence.
I haven't been posting recently, as we have had major problems with an outside group on Facebook who have been criminal in their treatment of both Lewis county residents and LE working on the case. They have attacked Aliayah's extended family and swamped the WV Fusion Center with hundreds of telephone tips, even though the closest person was over 200 miles away. One of their best tactics was to search for photographs of locations within Lewis and the surrounding counties, then call the Center and say that they had a tip about the target location. They have done this on over a dozen locations.
These people have also called the fusion center with tips about people who were still actively searching for Aliayah and sending valid tips to LE, trying to discredit them in LE's eyes. It has been an uphill battle, as these people think they can anonymously sit behind computer keyboards and cause drama within our little community, as if we need more of it.
As to the current situation, several things have happened on the periphery which have a large impact on the actual case. Prior to being sentenced in May, LL and RL lost all parental rights for their remaining children. This happened in Lewis county court, but when any court action involves children, the courtroom is sealed and the rulings are kept secret. This is true for most neglect and abuse cases here within WV.
I spoke with four officials, all of whom stated that the termination of rights did occur, as well as the judge's issuance of a no-contact order, as the parents knew the address of the foster home. But just prior to her entering Alderson on June 26th, odd things started happening.
Just days before her incarceration, LL created a fake Facebook page, which had a very small friends list comprised of LL, her sister and the two oldest children. The only way that the children would be on the list is if they had accepted a friends request from that account, which was created on June 23rd. The page is located at:

Also after the termination of rights, LL's lawyer added both of the oldest children to her own Facebook friends list as well. Between June 3 and June 16th, LL posted over a dozen inspirational posts which were made to her children, professing her love for them. All of this despite the no-contact order.
One of LL's friends, who took LL and her sister in prior to her incarceration, has been very vocal in her support of LL on Facebook. She has shared on several dates that LL last saw the children the day before her incarceration at the DHHR/CPS office, and that LL's sister keeps track of the children by telephone conversations with the DHHR case worker.
So in a nutshell, it appears that LL, her sister, her lawyer and at least one DHHR case worker have violated the Judge's court order, allowing contact between LL and her children, who are still considered major witnesses in this case. All of this evidence was turned over to LE between July and August of last year, but on it's face it looks like no action has been taken.
And we wonder why there is still no justice for Aliayah?
