Interesting points in this old post, Fr. Brown. Also, I think the word "adequate" really wouldn't be used much in the majority of households. It does seem like something peculiar to John and/or he and Patsy. The whole RN, though, seems ridiculous to me, and something I can't imagine anyone...

Thanks for the update, Glovely. Yes, if that property could be searched, it could at least be ruled out. I just don't understand why this case never seemed to be much of a priority to LE. It's pretty obvious that he wasn't a walk-away/suicide, or at least to me it was. He was a man going through...

Glovey, do you have or have you had any correspondence/communication with the police? (I can't remember who is in charge of this case right now. Is it the Henderson police? Did the FBI ever get involved? So much down the memory drain all these years later...) I also wonder if SK's...

Wow! Thanks so much for updating us. While I appreciate hearing what it takes to get a book to shelf, I was a wee-bit disappointed with: "you'll definitely get a much better sense for who Amy was and the struggles she was having at the time". I was hoping for: "you'll definitely get a much...

I can’t find links to the any AMW program, but there is a website called something like “amwfans” which states that AMW aired Amy’s case FIVE times between 1998 and 2003. That’s amazing to me. That’s a lot of publicity. Sadly, like many people here believe, I think the likelihood of Amy still...

Sorry for the "power posting", but it's my tendency, for better or worse... For those interested, it seems that James Renner's book on Amy is projected to be out in late 2026. Why does it take so long to write a book, I have no idea. But it is what it is. Hopefully, it's taking so long means...

Not to nitpick, but just for accuracy, the FBI does not automatically get involved in cases where a US citizen disappears in international waters.

My thoughts on Amy being trafficked have always lay less in the prostitution arena and more in the "minder" or something similar category. It's possible, but I dont' think terribly probable that, if she were targeted, the "targeting" started long before the trip. I think more likely is that she...

It's an interesting question, and I think we can all agree that it's certainly probable that this kind of thing happens in reality: Certain "types" are sought; "role playing" is quite common. Etc. Whether this happened here, who knows, but one of the most singular aspects about this case, and...

Increasingly, grandparents are being asked to be carers, full or part time, for grandchildren. Folks: YOU are responsible for the care of your own children. If you leave them in the care of your parent(s), you'd better be 99.9% sure that they are 100% capable to do it. There is a reason people...

I think you are likely correct, Inspector Evans. Very sad.

“Spanking” and viciously beating are two different things. An open-handed swat on the bottom (meaning the fleshy buttocks) of a child to keep him from darting out into the road, etc. is entirely different than “beating”, both in severity and in kind. One is done out of love to keep a child who...

Slebby, thanks for the video clip. Just to be clear, in case you're referencing my posts at all, I wasn't suggesting that JBR ever danced suggestively. However, it was discussed much in earlier threads that her pageant director, or whatever the title would be, was uncomfortable that PR wanted to...

I'm sorry, but I'll have to duck out of this debate. It seems like repeated, particularly willfully, mischaracterization of my statements, so we certainly won't get anywhere. As an example in the above comments alone: "If that's what you think holiday tours are all about -- I tend to think...

We likely have a very different understanding of love. Some people see their children as extensions of themselves and live vicariously through them. That is love of self, not love of another person. I think Patsy Ramsey, especially, was deeply, deeply, in love with herself.
