Just wanted to comment a bit on the area and the terrain (rivers, lakes, streams, etc). My hubby is from nearby Grand Junction and we lived there for many years and I have been to Cedaredge many times. It is on, what we refer to, as the backside of the mesa or the southern gateway to the...

Welcome!! My husband works on Ft. Leavenworth. He actually works in the old prison that has been converted into offices. I grew up over on the MO side so living around all these prisons it was just something we lived with. I don't really remember very many break outs and even now I do have to...

This was local for me. I was actually in Edgerton while this was going on attending my 5 yr old granddaughter's pre-school graduation. Older granddaughter goes to the middle school that was in lock down over this. Son-in-law had his pager and we were listening to everything live as it was...

Knowing where the church is, if all 400 show up some may have to park in town but if the family knows that I hope they went the other direction and came in from the opposite side so they won't see them. I know that one town actually blocked their cars in and they couldn't leave to go picket...

So typical. They tried it here with a soldier's funeral but got stopped and actually turned and left. I have no doubt knowing the good people in Edgerton or Dearborn or any of the other small towns around us that they will rally and send the scums on down the road.

I understand. It is hard to think that such tragedy could happen in our small towns. I remember, very well, in 1977 the murder of a 14 year old local girl in PC. Went to school with her older brother/sisters and she was best friends with my future sis-in-law. I knew the murderer, too. He...

Welcome KCMom. I am local also (my oldest granddaughter goes to school in Edgerton) and Sheriff Anderson lives down the road from me (altho I do not know him). Have a cousin who lives on County Line Rd near where some of this took place. It is indeed a small community where everybody knows...

I, too, am paying attention. I was still living in Grand Junction when Paige went missing. Actually, I just got back from Grand Junction, was there from March 11-21. Heard about her being found soon as we arrived. I know Lester Ralph Jones is a suspect but her 2nd ex--Rob Dixon, his actions...

Thanks for what little update you have. This was local for me when it happened as I was living in GJ. I remember my sis-in-law and I were on our way down to Gateway one day for an interview at the school for her and we saw a truck off on one of the dirt roads. We both thought of Paige...

From the very beginning the police were extremely tight lipped. They gave no info on how Alissa died, nothing except they were sure it was murder. They never mentioned any suspects just kept asking for any info. Since he was a co-worker I am sure he was talked to in the beginning. I don't...

I don't believe his story either. You don't just go for a walk along this river. It is dirty, nasty, muddy, the banks are steep and trees line it. It floods virtually every spring and last year was no exception. It actually ran high all summer. Looks like I may have gone to school with some...

Thanks for posting this, (I don't know how). Was looking to see if Alissa was listed here but nothing was coming up with her name. This is local for me, (as I grew up in one place mentioned and went to school in the other mentioned), although I do not know the victims or the alleged killer...

Oh Leomoon, my apologies if it sounded like I was being critical of your thinking. Not at all. I do understand the need to go back and forth to get ideas to try and figure things out. My husband spent the last 15 years of his 23 year AF career in OSI (criminal investigations) and worked for 2...

Yes, it is. One thing I have learned over the years based on my own experiences is that I don't have a rush to judgement attitude where others are concerned. It is real easy to be a back seat driver or armchair quarterback but when it is happening to you in real life everyone reacts differently.

There could be many reasons why it took the father 4 days to travel. We don't know his work situation, (not all employers are gracious enough to give you time off...maybe he could not afford to quit and thought his son would show up in a few days). Maybe he was ill at the time, (possibly in...
