In my own experience of knowing narcissistic con artists like BW, I think he will testify. After all, he thinks he's the smartest person in the room...and beyond.

I don't think it was random. I think she knew the person, but perhaps not well. She's known for helping people who are down and out. She might have tried to help someone with bad intentions.

@Megnut, I throughly enjoy your running commentary! I don't have time to watch the trial, or to react to every post you make, so I want to make sure you know how much I appreciate reading your thoughts as you watch. Thank you!

Wait...Are there states where life without parole doesn't mean you're never getting out? Without parole means just that, doesn't it? I thought it's only if there's a minimum attached, such as 25 to life, where there's a possibility of being released by appearing before the parole board.

I think in these kinds of familial situations, it comes down to an individual's temperament, resilience, ability to cope, and sense of self worth. Climbing out of generational abuse/addiction is extremely difficult, regardless of socioeconomic background. A support system is incredibly...

When it looked like Gus would be found alive after wandering away, the community came together to join professional searchers to look. Gus' family welcomed the assistance. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-03/search-for-missing-boy-gus-enters-seventh-day/105845972 Once it appeared it would...

And various school personnel. Not that I think someone from the school is involved, but this could include any number of people.

This case has gone so quiet.

A new article that includes info from the update posted above: https://metro.co.uk/2025/12/04/rescuers-issue-update-search-british-teenager-vanished-close-draculas-castle-25153264/

This latest update says they haven't found his phone. I thought it was reported earlier that they found his phone. For anyone not familiar with deep snow searches, the long poles in the photos are probes. They probe deep into the snow, feeling for something that feels like a body or personal...

snipped for focus... That really makes me think he was looking for something -- something he lost, or thought he lost, or forgot to pack -- but he needed it. Maybe his phone? Maybe some dry clothing?

I'm guessing he had one of the lightweight backcountry camping stoves. The cannisters are light too. There are many styles at the Primus website, but to give you an idea here is one image...it weighs 460 grams (about 16 ounces). https://primus.us/collections/backpacking-stoves

I can't imagine why he didn’t stop at the chalet since it was already dark. Did he really expect to set up a tent in the dark during a storm? That terrain looks very difficult, you can tell the searchers are not having an easy go of it. I wonder if he had hiked this area before, or if he was...

If it was worn layered over a puffy, fleece, baselayers, etc., it would be. We have no idea what he was wearing underneath though.

I imagine at this point, there's no chance he's survived since they found his backpack with anything he could use while hunkered down. Even if he wore layers beneath his shell jacket, such as a puffy, fleece and long underwear, he would need a change of dry clothes at some point (at least dry...
