Brooke Bennett, 12 years old Randolph VT #17

Then Gagnon moves to Texas and just happens to rent a room in Kevin Grosenheider's home, and just so happens that Grosenheider has a relative listed on the Texas RSO site. I cannot get the tracking on this as it was on another site that is now closed. This is not local to Vermont. There are 3 different states here - Vermont, Alabama, and Texas.

Gagnon went to college in Maine, so maybe four states.

I'm still curious about what prompted Cassandra to leave Gagnon after only 4 or 5 years of marriage, when Brooke was eight and Savanna was what, 13?

Thanks! ANd wow--did anyone catch this quote as well?

"About 50 family members occupied four rows in front of the casket. To the right of the casket sat Gov. Jim Douglas and several members of the Vermont State Police and FBI, who were out of uniform and in mourning clothes. To the left, well away from the rest of the family, sat Jacques' wife, Denise, and her daughters."

Daughters? AR was there?

That would explain the police escorts!!

Exactly--they were there to protect AR I'm pretty sure.

Did AR have second thoughts about helping? Did she sneak out while MJ was upstairs without him knowing and being that he was alone things went from bad to worse faster?

In one of the affidavits AR says that MJ came back downstairs and told her to leave. I'm a little confused about whether the boyfriend was already outside waiting in his car, though.

gigi, good for you,sounds like as a mother you are on top of things. I am a strong believer in a woman's intuition, I believe that as mothers we tend to pay attention to situations that don't seem right. I was in a relationship over 10 yrs ago,I noticed my boyfriend was becoming to friendly with my then 13 yr old. Needless to say I ended the relationship.

Thankyou and you sound like a Mom who has a good head on her shoulders. You just can't ignore those creep factor feelings. Better safe than sorry.

See I'm thinking that AR could've texted her boyfriend to come and get her, he could've texted he saying okay, he's outside. Then maybe she just slipped out. I'm just hoping in the end that's what AR did. I'm hoping that something decided to make her leave and to not actually participate in the rest of the horror that was coming down.

I have my doubts about that whole story of returning to the house, watching tv, and then leaving with boyfriend. The only person to verify AR's story would be the boyfriend and if he is involved of course he is going to back her up.

Really, I missed that. I have to go back and reread.
Thanks for pointing that out. See, I'm thinking when you're 14, it's one thing to talk big but it's entirely a different thing once it comes down to actually doing it.

When an adult that you trust uses the threat of hurting a sibling or the other parent if you don't do what I say.... the child is taken into the freaks fold.... lock stock and soul.
The only way out for her is lots of therapy. she has to be saved from herself at this point in time. Prayers wouldn't hurt either.

I say lots of prayers, but an INHOUSE therapy is what is needed, IMO. She cannot heal in the atmosphere she is in now.

Do we know if the BF of AR knew about Breckenridge or the so called plan to get Brooke to come to this so called "party"?? Or was he just a BF who had no clue about AR involvement in the "program" or sexual abuse? AR & the BF were indeed having sex so maybe he did know :waitasec: Hmmmm so many questions....

I'm not so sure he'd be willing to back her up--remember it was his semen that was planted. I would think at that point he would have no loyalty to lie to the FBI.

I totally agree... residential program for a long time. Daily sessions with a good therapist and learning how to deal with all this and the death of her cousin. This is going to be a long road for her. But right now she has to be watched.... the reality of this situation will hit her hard and she will want out.. suicide is not out of the question ... she needs to be removed asap from that house and DJ. I can't call her a mother.... she isn't.

Yes. That is one story I would like to hear. Like I said, Gagnon did not decide to get into child overnight. I would like to know what all went on in that house in Alabama, and just when did Jacques get to be such friends?

Too many questions and too few answers.

I think that this BF came clean with the FBI. Where are his parents? Hopefully they told him to tell the entire truth. Then I would ground him until he was 18!

In at least one of the affidavits, it says he did NOT know about Breckinridge.

Anyone find that safe yet?

What is going on w/the moron who ditched it? Where is he?

 

[texas48]

Good morning all. Did anyone watch the O'Reilly Factor last night? Thank goodness for Bill O'Reilly!! He is, and from what I understand, still continues to bash the heck out of Vermont Law and their Lawmakers. Also, he interviewed the govenor of Louisiana. Now they have some laws there or child molestation. WOW! (Gov. Bobby Jindal) Ist offence=judge can order castration .. 2nd offence=mandatory castration. And with these is prision terms. Alot of prision. This does just apply only to child molestation. This applys to rape and many other sex crimes. For child sex crimes they did have the dealth penalty. Their supreme court just recently struck down dealth penalty for child molestation but the gov. said La. is fighting to get that back.. GOOD FOR LOUSIANA.:blowkiss:

 

[Lola]

Hopefully, somewhere being grilled in San Antonio!

Hopefully in a claustrophobically small interview room in an anonymous federal building, sweating and spilling his guts.
