This woman is just so incredibly lucky that the Uber driver 1) wasn't some sort of creeper 2) cared enough to call for help for the children and 3) stayed with them while help was on the way rather than dropping them off at a store or something and taking off. None of those things were ANY sort...
Can you check Fairfield? That's the county right below Franklin, and northern Fairfield/southern Franklin counties are starting to meld into one due to urban sprawl, so sometimes crooks wander through there. Hocking isn't impossible but is further south than I'd think he'd go unless we have...
Honestly? It would probably take longer. Especially nowadays. Do you remember the Elian Gonzales debacle back in 2000? While that turned into a complete over-the-top circus, it isn't unusual for any court proceeding, let alone a custody dispute involving two nations, to drag on and on. I fully...
I had hoped for this. I know the Croatians wanted the best for them, but I can't, ultimately, see the government budgeters wanting to pay for four more wards of the state if they had an out. I am relieved authorities let the fourth child go with the family as I was a little worried about him not...
It's also relatively common for people to move to Athens for college and just...not leave. (That's how I eventually wound up here, as did my husband.) So it isn't super unusual to run into someone who's lived in Athens for 40 years, and still has the Cleveland (or wherever) accent that they...
Athens accents are somewhat affected by the university, so the Appalachian accent is often less notable or nonexistent. I am from the local area (born one county over) and I do have it, but I have noticed that, for example, a lot of the professors' children, while they still grew up here, do not...
There's really not a stretch of Route 33 that's uncrowded/doesn't pass by businesses until you get to the Lancaster bypass, and even then, there is a pretty steady stream of truckers and such coming through. You're absolutely correct, there would have been way too many potential witnesses for...
There are absolutely exceptions, but this was also my experience with my SIL's now-deceased golden doodle. The dog was dumber than cement, and while there was a decent chance of its injuring an intruder by knocking the person down in an attempt to get pettins, it would then lead the intruder to...
That probably was a lot of the initial alarm. At that point, I'd still be thinking "medical issue which has somehow befallen them both" as opposed to "crime"- that just isn't what one jumps to first if for no other reason than that the brain doesn't want to think it. Unless, of course, the...
He's about an hour and fifteen minutes from his office. It was more time-efficient to just have CPD send a unit over, and at that point they were likely thinking more a medical issue (carbon monoxide, seizure, whatever) which might be very time-sensitive, than that a crime might have occurred...
Medical workplaces can be a different beast tbf. I worked at a group home for the intellectually/physically disabled for many years. I can name right now at least two coworkers, probably more, who would have gone flying up the highway loaded for bear if I hadn't come to work and they hadn't been...
