Me too. Her poor daughter. I hope her desperation doesn't bring all the crackpots out of the woodwork. I just want to give her a huge hug!

I was about to post this same story. I know Jimmy is missing in another country, but I'm sure his uncle and uncle's colleagues have contacts in Barcelona they can touch base with. This will be very helpful for the family. (MOO as a former newspaper and magazine editor/reporter.)

It is so difficult nowadays because fake stories can look legitimate! Very sophisticated and professional in presentation. It used to be you knew just by looking at the website design or the poor grammar and editing. Don't worry, we've all been tricked at some point!

I'm not sure I understand your question. Is there a particular reason you're asking?

It's good to see this case is finally moving forward. I still can't believe she got away with it for so long.

The farming situation is the same here in the US. The children don't want to take over the family farm. It is very difficult nowadays to make farming profitable. Here in Vermont, we do have many people in their 70s and 80s running farms, and eventually they sell their milkers and say goodbye to...

I wonder how much the parents thought along the lines of "how much trouble can teens get into on a cruise ship" and assumed the ship would do the parenting...

I hope we get another update from LE soon. It's so hard to know what to think right now. So often what we think we know turns out to be nowhere near the truth. One outsized persona can overshadow what's hidden beneath it all. Sometimes it's the quiet ones we should be watching.

How are we supposed to protect our kids (and grandkids, in my case) from this kind of sophisticated predatory behavior? Rhetorical question, I guess.

As much as I agree Buck would have responded to his owner's voice, since he ultimately was not involved in the search, I'm comforted knowing Buck stayed with John John. It would make the youngster's fear less overwhelming than if the dog ran off. Little kids don't know their furry friend is...

Reporters don't need to approach the family for updates. Updates will come from LE.

Oh no. Her poor family. Unfortunately, I suspected she might be planning to self harm. From article:

It's true the reports and media only mention her splitboard, and nothing about gear he had, but I don't think he had skis. There's no way he climbed up the mountain and down, long after dark, for 20+ hours, carrying skis on his back, knowing it's too dangerous to ski down in the dark. No one...
