I agree. Unfortunately, David was into gruesome stuff and allegedly did horrific things to Celine, so it becomes easy for people to imagine the worst reasons behind the condition of her body. Some is simply related to a body decomposing in LA's summer heat. I have to remind myself of this often...

Thank you for sharing this article! It's a fabulous multimedia presentation of Celine's story. I highly recommend everyone find the time to read it.

@moonglow123 please forgive me if you thought I was discounting your theory! That was not my intention at all! As someone who was "just a tourist" before moving here 30 years ago, I've discovered many things about Vermont. I always knew this was "vacationland" for people who lived elsewhere...

I plan to come back later when I have time for a longer response. But I did want to respond to let you know I saw your reply. It's true that Vermont was and still is a small state. It seems logical to think the victims are not local. I've lived here since 1996, so I'm not a true Vermonter...

Is there a reason you don't think they lived in Vermont?

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...

Thank you for sharing this article, @imstilla.grandma! As a former journalist, I am grateful to read such an impressive article written by a journalism school student. There is hope for journalism and for the families seeking justice for their loved ones. Emily matters.

I recommend reading the article posted above by @Unalienable Rights. The description of the home is beyond heartbreaking and disturbing.

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.
