The way that this little girl was abducted feels very similiar to the case in FL where mom allowed 8yo to go off with a stranger who turned out to be a RSO. Thankfully this story has a much better outcome than that one, but if dad indeed leave M on the porch alone in the middle of the night with...

Wow. In the article, the mom says her water never actually broke. If the baby was born with the amniotic membrane intact, or 'born in the caul', superstition says those babies possess second sight & other supernatural abilites.

I'm afraid that when Angela was heard screaming that if he took her she'd never see her again, she meant that Elaina had visable injuries that would result in her being taken away from Angela via CPS. I think the bf took Elaina out the back door and soon after she died from those injuries, or he...

In regards to the backpack... It seems to me that an elementry school would be a great place to hide a backpack in plain sight. Either other kids would grab it, search it, scatter contents, fingerprint it all over and destroy any evidence, OR somebody would pick it up and put it in the lost...

I was wondering about this too. She does seem too young, but I know my soon-to-be ex stepdaughter began spending a lot of unsupervised time online, on myspace & facebook, during 5th grade (against my wishes, mind you). Maybe she was talking to somebody she thought was not too much older than...

Hi all, I don't post often but read frequently! I just wanted to say that something about the phrase 'there is a good chance she has changed clothes' bothers me. If the clothes she wore to school that day were found in her backpack, what makes them say she changed clothes, rather than them...

So very sad. I saw on facebook that today is the dad's birthday :( I too had three babies in three years when I was that age, plus an alcoholic worthless husband, and little outside help. There is no excuse. Fly with the angels, little one!

Just a thought about the hair dye- My stepdaughter's hair was first dyed when she was about 8 or 9 years old. Her lower-educated mother thought it was an effective way to treat head lice. Idiodic, but not nefarious.

All of you who just quit smoking should go and buy yourselves some new perfume or cologne and take pride in the fact that people will actually be able to smell it on you now!

That is the key!!! I wish you all lots and lots of luck. You CAN do it! 4 years for me today!:great:

On November 13 I'll have been a non smoker for 4 years. I'd smoked for 19 years prior to that. I had tried several times to quit before. The final time was surprisingly easy Here's some things that helped me: First you have to REALLY WANT to quit! Will power has nothing to do with it. Will...

I just watched the video several times, and the kid jumps sideways and up onto the side of the tree- a real kid couldn't do that! It didn't look to me like anyone stopped when he fell out of the tree. I can't believe the guy recording didn't go closer to investigate, to talk to the people that...

I am wondering if the fire was actually a bonfire? That could explain why they were all up so late that night, and didn't check on Zahra until so late the next day. If it was a bonfire, there likely would have been more people there, and quite possibly drinking.

Seriously, the thing always gave me the creeps. I am sad to see it go, though. It was definately one of the most interesting landmarks around here. I heard that they are planning to rebuild as soon as possible?

According to the article the man that dropped the baby off wasn't the father? From what I gathered in the article, the baby was left with the man by mom and after she didn't return for six days he brought the baby to the firestation. Sounds like a good decision to me! Course I do wonder how he...
