I don't think I will ever be able to forget about Haleigh and with Ron's release was hoping there would be some type of news/activity. I follow as I can like so many others, and I see the news articles saying he was never considered a suspect and I don't believe that for a moment.

Your first point re no one else detecting anything has bugged me as well but that is fairly large property and farming happens CD--with a TBI? IF true--I deal routinely with patients who have TBI and just now one is a retired engineer, lived a productive and prosperous life and yet a TBI has...

I don't know why Haleigh is so present in my mind lately--I have to hope one of those afflicted with addiction will come clean and it will help them stay that way if they speak their truth--Give this child her DUE and let her REST in PEACE.

I listened to the hearing yesterday and came away believing the Prosecutor did not show all her cards...I feel there is more and considering the teenage girlfriend's social media posts--LE early on had a sense of what might have happened and took their time to make a case they could make stick...

just trying to keep caught up here but wanted to make an observation--I see so many posters--new and old--bonded and mourning--I have participated on many threads/cases here and while there is the odd unnecessary comment, I'm reminded that most people have the best intentions and big hearts and...

I think times have changed a bit here in recent years--a local funeral director did kill himself here, had a high mass and was buried in a Catholic cemetery just a couple years back...I think the church (as a whole--locally IDK?) has eased up on that for the sake of the families but I agree...

Very well put--I've even heard of occasions were the ME used accidental instead of suicide--maybe for insurance, saving face? I don't know--IF there is nothing but his body--no injuries, no signs of struggle etc, no video, note etc--what else can LE/ME use to assess the situation? It is a tough...

Kevin Verbrugghe said the body had been released to the family for burial and that a funeral Mass is scheduled Friday at a church in the Manayunk neighborhood of the city, the Inquirer reported. http://news.yahoo.com/pennsylvania-college-students-death-ruled-accidental-drowning-222431659.html...

I don't see that any of us have any way of seeing if it was an accident or not--same thing in the Sarah Majoras' death--she had injuries per the autopsy but when they happened IIRC was open for conjecture...in a world filled with cameras and cell phones where I sometimes wonder how we can do...

I think they keep regular business hours but I wouldn't be surprised if the autopsy was being done this weekend--the thing I am unsure of relates to how much of the results will be made public--not sure who makes the decision on this.

I've been following along but not been posting--as the parent of a 20-something and Aunt of two nephews that hung out at Kildares and other Manayunk bars--this hit close to home. I can't come close to understanding what Shane's parents and loved ones have gone through and pray they have the...

My understanding is it varies by state--I believe both Lena and Ralph Lunford both lost their parental rights (As it seems should be the case)--the goal is always family or family reunification but in cases likes these sweet babies--who knows? Maybe the family isn't the best situation for the...

Haleigh has been running through my mind like crazy and I do check in --first of all --maybe they did a TPR for Ron as that man should have NO say in who raises his son--he lost that right long ago (and multiple times) when he put drugs ahead of like getting his daughter to school, keeping her...

Hoping a TPR :banghead:

Reminds me of a favorite quote of mine.... "Religion is for people who are scared to go to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there." Bonnie Raitt
