Because they were being railroaded.

I don't know if they could get away with that because all of the attention they're getting right now, but they could get him out of North Port without being seen and give him a good start in his pack for the trail. All conjecture, of course, there's no proof of this. But the camping trip does...

Like to the start of the Appalachian Trail? Seems like where Brian would go.

This is such sad news. I've gone to her website more times than I can count, and donated when I could. I always admired her dedication. May she rest in peace.

This seems really important to me.

I just keep wondering why he did all that laundry... makes me wonder what happened in the house that he was trying to hide. You are probably right about the timeline; but I'd still like to know what kind of truck it was.

I'm curious... does anyone know what type of ice cream truck TH drove? Was it a refrigerated box van, or an actual ice cream truck? I'm asking because the abrasions on the bodies that some people think is caused from concrete appear to be very similar to the abrasions one gets from rubbing...

I'd be really interested in hearing more about this, if you wouldn't mind (obviously) repeating yourself. How is it that you predicted the "burnt" end of the cord, Cynic?

That is one of my doubts, too, gypsychild; but as usual, I can see both sides of it! I think, ultimately, it would depend on the child. Some children are liable to talk, and others aren't. I know in my family we were thoroughly conditioned to never speak of what went on at home. We simply knew...

I'm not sure where the "rational discussion" thing came in... I don't believe that to be the case at all. As a matter of fact, I think the decisions made that night were made in haste and were sloppy. But, in the end, worked. I also think that if there were any rational discussion going on...

IMO, if Burke was involved, I believe the staging wasn’t just for the benefit of the police, it was also for the benefit of Burke himself. HE didn’t kill his sister – an intruder did. This enabled him complete denial in his mind. To the extent that he now claims he doesn’t even remember that...

Wow! My boss's phone doesn't do that at all- it just quits working. As far as I know though, the only call he can make is to the cell phone company to pay his bill.

Ohhh! Gotcha. I must not have read far enough back, sorry about that. For some reason, I was under the impression that it was an extra shift for his regular job, too. Not sure where I got that from, and I'm too tired to go look. One thing for sure, though, is that someone or some company...

It's not necessarily a no-no, it really depends on the employer. Our guys all have their own tools, but drive our trucks and there's a lot of trades that are like that. We have one guy, that when he's in town, normally drives our bucket truck back and forth from his home to the shop - it's no...

IMO, it is right that CPS is cautious about removing children from their parents. Regardless of what some may think, there are no perfect parents, every single one makes mistakes; some of those mistakes could have serious repercussions, but by the grace of God, didn't. I'm not sure how the...
