Any news yet on the skull found?
Any news yet on the skull found?
What skull?
Lesage is quite a distance from Weston and I wouldn't think this means Aliayah has been found. Of course I could be wrong but my gut feeling always has been that she is not far from her home.:sigh:
Lena Lunsford is set to be released Feb. 26 from a facility in Baltimore, where she's been serving an eight-month sentence for welfare fraud.
The state Department of Health and Human Resources filed an abuse and neglect petition with the courts in October 2011, alleging the Lunsfords' remaining children were in imminent danger. They had been neglected to the point that some had irreversible tooth decay, case workers said. That complaint also noted that Lena Lunsford had previously reported to DHHR that her husband had attempted to cut her throat, "yet she and the children continued to live with him."
At a termination hearing in May 2012, the circuit court judge "found that the parents had more knowledge about A.L.'s whereabouts than they revealed but refused to provide that information to the court," the high court wrote.
According to the Supreme Court memorandum, neither parent has been able to provide an explanation as to the child's disappearance, and each hs "vaguely accused" the other for the disappearance.
Name Register # Age-Race-Sex Release Date
1. LENA LUNSFORD 07967-087 30-White-F 02-26-2013 RELEASED
MORGANTOWN, West Virginia The mother of a 3-year-old West Virginia girl who vanished in September 2011 is out of prison.
In September of 2011, child A.L. was reported missing. DHHR subsequently filed the
abuse and neglect petition in October of 2011, alleging imminent danger to the remaining children in their parents’ care. Neither parent was able to provide an explanation of A.L.’s disappearance, only explaining that she had been in her bed the evening before and had been ill and throwing up. When Petitioner Mother checked on her in the morning, she was no longer in her bed and could not be found. DHHR also stated in its petition that Petitioner Mother previously reported that the children’s father attempted to cut Petitioner Mother’s throat, yet she and the children continued to live with him.1 At adjudication, the children’s dentist testified that some of the children had irreversible tooth decay. At disposition in May of 2012, A.L. was still missing without explanation. The circuit court found that the parents had more knowledge about A.L.’s whereabouts than they revealed but refused to provide that information to the court. By its order entered on May 14, 2012, the circuit court terminated both parents’ parental rights.
Petitioner Mother appeals.
All respondents further highlight that Petitioner Mother has given conflicting statements about her daughter’s disappearance and that she delayed in reporting the disappearance to authorities. Moreover, although neither parent has been able to provide an explanation, both have vaguely accused the other for A.L.’s disappearance.

I found this interesting as well
Respondents further respond that although criminal charges have not been filed, Petitioner Mother has not been cleared [in AL's case]....
