Re: the 2 a.m. drive through the neighborhood, maybe the driver was not only checking out the layout of the streets, but also wanted to see whether the Barrazas had gotten an early start setting up before dark, just to get a rough idea of when they'd finish setting out their items in the...

The distance is far and the counties from which LE are assisting don't match up, but my first thought with "40+ year-old disappearances," the general region and a possible link between the victims was the two remaining (suspected) Edward Surratt victims who have not been recovered, from Ohio and...

News article: Flight trackers show a private jet en route to Florida. I take it all their assets weren't frozen if they could afford this, or the jet was paid for by a third party? I feel terrible for the women involved in this; they must feel so anxious over this...

I hope this is acceptable to share. Her boyfriend promptly shared a MSM news article about her missing status on his FB page, requesting tips and help. Many of her coworkers, friends, etc. did the same. The Sun article I posted involved a lot of comments on FB news articles, but as far as I can...

Quite possibly they snagged a drone, equipped with a camera or phone, up in a tree. That would be fantastic evidence, depending on what footage it contains.

IIRC, Blessing was found in the alley by neighbors after the empty car turned up safely. One can only imagine that if the thieves had disappeared the car into a body of water, Blessing would still have to "reappear" sooner or later. Not excusing any choices that were made, but it would be great...

It's unclear, but her car was stolen and previous car theft victims have falsely claimed a child was in the car to put more urgency in its finding.

News article: Skeletal remains were found Feb. 2 in Pgh's South Side Slopes neighborhood, in the 2400 block of Burham Street. That's 0.2 miles or an eight-minute walk from Eccles Street, per Google Maps...

This is awful! Mom started out as a victim; her car, which many of us see as our means to a livelihood, was stolen. In her panic, she made some awful choices. I sincerely hope at the very least, she was watching from a distance when she left Blessing in the alley to make sure she was found right...
