Howard sent out many 'thank you''s in response to posts on his FB page and on the Help Find page via mobile, so yes, I think he had mobile capability. I'm sure that an argument could be made that he would not be taking the lead in sounding the alarm because his PTSD would have made him a...

Unfortunately, Howard did not say anything publicly as to what happened. Everything attributed to Howard is through other sources, such as people saying 'he told me this....'. Even that information is sketchy, and the people he did talk directly to aren't talking now. Even back when MR was...

That's what I thought when I first saw that line! I thought 'wow, I didn't know they were living separately, but they must have been.' Ends up, I was wrong, they were still living together in the house on Summers Road. But, according to the 'chatter' they were fixing up the Queen street...

Okay Otto, I understand what you are saying, so please don't take this as not agreeing with you, it's just some clarification, if I can. People with PTSD do NOT make good decisions. Especially financially. Trust me, I have personal experience with it, and I've seen it with others. I have no...

No idea if she was on vacation, but this was taking place during the first week of an annual event that is held down in Butler County, PA, called Pennsic. Many local groups cancel their regular activities during the two weeks that Pennsic is occurring. Pennsic was early this year, right now...

Hi Lise-Anne, I don't speak French, unfortunately and shame on me, I know, so I can't tell what the voice over is saying, but do they say that is her car? I'm asking, because I don't think it is. It looks very much like a pic that one of the admins posted on the Help Find FB page as a picture...

I'm sorry Lise-Anne, I can't view the video, as the page only shows me the current day's video's. Did you say the video showed Melissa's car in the lot? I thought the car was found late Friday night, and was towed from the lot early Saturday morning, as in, when it was still dark out, so...

LOL, okay, it is possible the term you saw, or heard was 'fealty'? Which is actually VERY funny, because both topics are very similar. Fidelity is being loyal to, fealty is serving or having sworn to serve. If the reference you were referring to is that the 'group' or 'household' (which is...

Okay, maybe it's because of my age, but I'm astounded that many internet people didn't recognize the symbol for HAL and Space Odyssey 2001 movie. HR, and a great many other individuals who absolutely love that movie have used that symbol for decades. It is often associated with the idea of...

I'll take a stab at this and I'm going to try to be as upfront and open about this particular subject as possible, without maligning or impugning anyone's character, even anonymously. The SCA began back in the 1960's, in California, and it did have a reputation, as did most college campuses...

Hi Joe, as I stated in an earlier post, that is indeed Howard kneeling in front of Melissa. They are the couple on the far left of the picture as you are viewing the picture.

If Howard killed her in the home, and then didn't dispose of the weapon used somewhere else, then yes, they have probably seized everything in the home and are comparing it to the stab wounds. However, if he then disposed of the weapon and LE have not found it, LE may never be able to identify...

Yeah, I agree. Usually, if it was a common item, like a kitchen knife or even a combat knife, LE can usually tell.

I find this humorous, the thing that surprises me is how long it took anyone to point this out. Take a look at the original main picture used in MR missing poster, not the close up one the news agencies are using now, and you will see one of these 'weapons' mounted on the wall behind Melissa's...

I'm not able to read the Ottawa Citizen anymore. They wouldn't list the seven people would they, but it was probably announced in court, right?
