How pretty! I was a Girl Scout, too, which made me think I could "run away" for a night and camp out with my best friend, Margaret when we were eleven or twelve years old. We were going to leave a note so our parents wouldn't worry, but not tell them where we were headed. I'm sure I made a...

Your mother was beautiful, Tricia, and you were a total cutie as a child----and beautiful now as an adult. I like the new daily thread. Plus I love your new background on Websleuths Youtube Live, which all you WS'ers should watch if you don't already. I'm not going for any special favors...

My mother would say, "When you grow up and I come to your house, I'm going to mess it all up". I grew up and she came to my house, but she always behaved very well and unfailingly kept things very neat. To counter my 'everybody's doing it' argument, which I always thought made a lot of sense...

Oh, my, I never made the acquaintance of a tar bubble. I can see I missed out. That would have been fun!

I remember playing a game when I was eleven years old or so that we called Splits. One person would stand with legs wide apart on grass. (I would go barefoot all summer and would end up being able to walk comfortably on burning hot blacktop, which did not make this game any safer.) The...

In the photo I am holding Barbie, the first child of a couple who rented the basement of our house for a time back in the day. I was very excited to be holding a newborn, as you can tell, and I always remembered the baby's birthday. (I have had an uncanny memory for birthdays all my...

With regard to why Travis Decker did what he did, reporter Eric Wilkinson states as a lead-in to one portion of the interview that there are some things that forensic psychologist Stacy Cecchet "simply can't talk about". Dr. Cecchet mentions that she examined Travis' books and journals. I...

Kind of a formality, I presume, taking the case off the open books. A case we will never forget and little girls and a mom we will never forget...

Not too much appears to be new here, but Chelan County Coroner Wayne Harris did issue a press statement yesterday. Near the outset he stated, "Out of respect for the Decker family, I will try not to go into too many details". Maybe he meant he wouldn't be naming specific bones of the body...

I see what you're saying. It could have been only relatively recently that animals dragged the remains out to where a drone could see them. Maybe drones had surveilled that area prior and there was nothing to be seen, whereas now there was? The way I constructed my mental picture, he died...

I still don't have enough of an idea about the areas not accessible by vehicle in my own county to be able to weigh in and say to me it's crazy he wasn't found sooner---or to say to me it's understandable he wasn't found sooner because needle / haystack. I have been of the needle / haystack...

Yes, pretty much all we can do is speculate. If there was no accident or incident and he indeed took his own life, it would have been easier to have done so at the crime scene. Since he didn't do that, what was going on? He could have started hiking with the intention to flee but soon grew...

Too late to edit, and I see that I have the psychologist's last name completely wrong. I copied it from a Fox 13 transcript of today's press conference and now notice the transcript was a bonanza of creative spelling. Not only was Cecchet incorrectly listed as Gutchett, but it shows up later...

OK, here's my dream. I'm on a flight and Stacy Gutchett (the contracted operational psychologist through the Washington State Patrol) is my seatmate. She feels like talking. A lot. To suggest Grindstone Mountain for remains and even come close to estimating the correct elevation where they...
