Chaddylax, I am following this story closely, too. Praying something comes to the surface for poor Cherrie.

Hi! Yes, this case is so near and dear to me. It certainly sparked my interest and concern for other abductions, as well. Since I was a child when this occurred, I was very shielded from most of the talk/discussion/fear. Since I've been an adult, I have had some conversations with...

Hi! I'm new to this thread, but I've been thinking about Cherrie for 30 years. We share a common relative and I'm told that we had met/played together once or twice. I, too, was 8 in 1985 and Cherrie's disappearance had such a big impact on my life. It is touching to see how so many people...

I want to barf after hearing this news. I am praying it is all a big misunderstanding. Please God, don't let 1 juror undo the hard work of the whole jury and the PT.

Motive AND Opportunity!!!!

I must be really out of it. I could have sworn that the PT always gives their closing arguments first. ???

This group reminds me of Brad Cooper's neighborhood! :O

I wonder if the guy who just left the courtroom with CarolAnn was her husband? I have wondered if she was still married after testifying the first time that she had just recently told him of her "fling".

And on the note of all these witnesses yet to come (!), are any of you planning on attending? Any of you attending the whole trial?? I think I might attend one day next week.

I LOVE THIS, Bottle Cap!!! So true on every level. No way was someone's "meddling" the *cause* of their problems. And I am so sorry for Michelle, for having to hold everything together while her "partner" caused her more grief. What a wonderful life she could have had (!!!!) if they had just...

I would like to say this: while *I* was in a physically-abusive relationship, I would ALWAYS deny it. I did this to preserve the relationship (stupid, stupid me) and keep up appearances - I did NOT want to be the one who would be in that situation. So there was big-time denial on my part...

Amen to that!!! My MIL is pure "Southern" and has been a MAJOR bone of contention in my marriage... Doesn't matter where someone is from...

I respectfully disagree. It is my opinion that the "meddling" was *in response* to obvious problems (fighting in front of others, change in Michelle's behavior, etc). No parent wants to sit back and watch things get worse and worse without at least trying to help. Maybe she was TOO involved...

I started crying when Linda broke down, talking about stroking her daughter's hair. Oh how sad. How hard it must have been to see her daughter so "void of life" in those last weeks.
