Underground Railroad?

Just skimming through Amy’s Profile Pics. Is Amy a believer in Q Anon?

I saw that a couple days ago and upon researching, concern elevated.

If she already had tendencies to isolate her children from fathers and other issues that compromised her mental wellness, the Q world would be appealing to her and potentially very dangerous. I'm hoping she doesn't go the way of Matthew Coleman did last month with his two little ones in Mexico.

What are Amy’s interests? What does she like to do? Outdoorsy? Camped, hiked with the boys?
Does she attend any church regularly?

How does Amy support herself? Was she employed before she took off with her sons? Coworkers? Friends?

Has she been known to use an alias?

 

[Tealgrove]

Ok so I understand unstable and I understand someone running off with their kids to prevent a partner from seeing them.

Is she delusional? Has she received mental health treatment? Is she medicated at all? Does she do drugs?

Could this be that she actually believes that her children are in danger of being trafficked and she’s protecting them? Has she talked about Operation Underground Railroad with friends or family? Does she have friends?

This could be somewhat more than just being vengeful.

MOO

Thank you for posting this Tealgrove as these were the exact questions I had been wondering about myself (but didn’t post because I’m new & was unsure exactly of how the rules applied here).

I very much believe this could be significantly more complicated than simply being vengeful! In no way does it lessen the potential danger these 2 young boys could be in but it certainly would have a profound effect on the narrative.

Just found this via and old friend on Facebook

@STR3TCH1982, did you use an attorney previously with custody issues with Amy? Have you been in touch recently? If not, imo, I am not a lawyer, but I did go though some unpleasant custody things with my ex-husband. Get some legal advice re custody now, if you haven't already.

My Opinion Only

 

[Lusitana]

I don't like where this is going...

Yes, I cashed in my 401k, my IRA, and borrowed money from my father. I spent about 25k. If they are found I assume I’ll have to find an attorney again.

Those poor boys. I hope they’re found safe.

 

[bykerladi]

Is Amy delusional or just does she don't just want her children's fathers in their life? There's a difference. I almost feel like one has a possible positive outcome while the other doesnt.

Mystery as Arizona Mother and 2 Sons Planning to Go Camping Vanish and Search Continues 2 Weeks On

Missing mom, 2 boys possibly headed to Tennessee, police say

 

[Speculaytor]

If this story makes the national news, there is a very good chance she will be seen somewhere with the boys. There will be eyewitnesses. However, if this does not flood the news, how will anyone be a witness and help find them? Get this story out there, we KNOW they have crossed state lines and could be just about anywhere, especially if they are following the news reports having them headed to TN or Al.

 

[Tealgrove]

This needs to go national!

 

[steeltowngirl]

Many Tempe schools started back August 1. Were the boys attending? Are there relatives in the Tennessee or Alabama area? Why are they thinking she was headed that way?

Garrett is old enough to try and reach out to someone if he feels unsafe. Most kids that age have access to a cell phone or messaging.

This is a troubling situation.

I was camping on the Rim (Payson area) the night of 8/13. There was a massive thunderstorm that night. Lightening struck several yards from our off-the-beaten-path campsite. It could have easily struck us. 35 years camping up there - I never experienced such an electrical thunderstorm as that one. We all took shelter and laid on the ground for 45 plus minutes. I hope they have conducted thorough searches up north - White Mtns and the Rim.

Welcome to Websleuths! Did you have to evacuate the camping area?

Welcome to Websleuths! Did you have to evacuate the camping area?

We hunkered down and did not evacuate. With the rain, we would have gotten stuck in the mud. We already had 2 vehicles get stuck in mud during the day from the 8/12 evening rainstorm. Our campsite, like many on the Rim, is secluded. It takes several winding, 1-way dirt roads to get there - located in the Coconino National Forest. I truly hope they’ve searched up North. Praying for this families’ safe return home.

 

[steeltowngirl]

As far as I can tell from the articles, Amy mentioned to a neighbor that she intended to go camping. Therefore, it remains unconfirmed that she did actually go.

There was a custody petition filed just days before. Very concerning. Amy could have taken the boys off grid. Or not. She herself may not be safe. Someone else may have the boys.

We have one of the boy’s father on here as a VI. Where is the other boy’s father? (Edit to note that he cannot be sleuthed here.)

Where are you Amy, Garrett, and Miles?

Thanks for this description of the conditions that weekend. Is there a particular reason you think they should focus on the northern area?
