Yeah, you could definitely FEEL an open door even without seeing it at that time of year in Idaho. It's entirely possible that XK felt the cold air while bringing leftovers to the fridge or something and said, "IS someone here?" (misheard by half-asleep DM) before being overtaken by BK and...

I always read this as, "He didn't have to do this. ANY of this." I don't think it speaks to who his target was or the order in which it happened. I think it was just a distraught family member imagining a world in which BK DIDN'T go upstairs, DIDN'T enter the house, DIDN'T kill four innocent...

"Officers said that while the woman had not yet been formally identified, the family of Henrietta Huszti had been informed and that the search for her sister Eliza was continuing." Odd way to word this, given that the family is the exact same for both of them, but clearly they have unofficially...

Obituaries for children are always heartbreaking, and this one is no exception. "Erin was a little fireball for her young age. She could be a little spicy at times and always had a sassy comeback for anyone trying to tease her. Erin was so sweet and full of life, just starting to become her own...

This is so damn senseless and sad. Poor JB. This is the first I'm hearing that she was injured, too. Interesting, as well, to note that they charged them in Louisiana for both deaths...

"Erin Brunett, a 3-year-old Louisiana girl who authorities say was abducted from her Loranger home last week and found dead in the woods outside of Jackson, Mississippi, appears to have died from suffocation, Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade said in a press conference on Monday afternoon."...

WARNING: GRAPHIC DISCUSSION OF DEATH PROCESSES Yeah, I read "early morning hours" as more like 4 a.m. to 5 a.m. myself, although obviously that is open to some interpretation. I'm so sorry for everything I'm about to type, but it sounds like Maddie was limp in the initial videos, the ones...

Ugh, this is so horrifying to hear that they are BOTH (Callihan and Cox) being investigated for sexual assault/battery ... and given that one of the charges is in Mississippi, I fear that means it involves one or both of the children...

It sickens me, too, almost to the point of actual physical illness, and I understand your anger -- certainly toward SS and to some extent toward JS. At best, her maternal instincts and taste in men were terrible; at worst, she knowingly perpetuated the abuse and murder of her daughter. Right...

I took this to mean Maddie and that the aunt was saying it sort of tongue-in-cheek, not super-worried yet, just like, "Yeah, of course TODAY of all days she forgot her phone!" I have a 12-year-old with ADHD, and she forgets her phone constantly, which normally is fine but would definitely be an...

This reminds me so much of Kiely Rodni, with people so completely desperate to believe in some sort of grand conspiracy (in which an extremely tall adult male, whose cell phone and watch simultaneously go dead at the same time while he is very near to water and very drunk, was somehow ...

DBM (wrong thread).

According to this article on CNN, the ship did drop its anchor. I'm honestly impressed by how quickly the ship and its crew acted. I can't imagine how scary it would be to be on a ship that size and realize you had no control over it...

"Eight people are believed to have fallen into the water during the collapse, said Paul Wiedefeld, Maryland’s transportation secretary. All eight were part of a construction crew filling potholes. Six of those people are still missing, he said. ... A reporter asked if officials thought anyone...

I had a friend go into the Mississippi River on March 22. Texas Equusearch came and used sonar to find his body under a bunch of debris, but there was a big storm before his body could be recovered from that location, and his body broke free and went missing again. His poor mother just wanted to...
