I would love to know what the blacked out paragraph says.

 

[SeriouslySearching]

I applaud the way you have handled the baseless barbs that have been tossed your way. Why some people think talking like they have helps Brooke, or makes people that do know something want to share, is beyond me. You catch more bees with honey, ya know? Anyway, you're a good egg.

As we know now, the information on the family is what is breaking this case wide open. Brooke has been living in the middle of a child sex ring involving the men closest to her. This is information that can absolutely help Brooke. DM asked the question if I would want people talking/speculating about my family and how how it could help. You BET I would if I were stupid enough to have these type of scumbags around my child or my ex was!!

tx suziQ for the update, very upsetting not to mention AR is the daughter. Life in prison is too good for these pervs.

 

[Busylady]

Says she met two other men, I am wondering if Gagnon was one of those other men grrrrrrrrrr. I am so so angry at what has happened to this child for 5 years and no one protected her.

 

[Class-z]

Yeah and it shows as being dismissed, wonder why?

Not enough evidence, child to young to testify, child refused to testify?

These cases are very sticky

 

[concernedperson]

Interesting that AR's mother's statement is completely blocked out. I bet she's under investigation.

Notice his sex crimes go back to 1985.

If she isn't she needs to be. This tying up business is making me wonder about the child and her sister. Of course, he could have tied her up when the mother wasn't home. It would be a very good idea to have CPS visit and possibly remove both children until this is settled since we know another child has gone missing from the same area with access to that house and family.

Great job, thank you Suzi Q

 

[SuziQ]

One thing sadly that has occured to me is Brooke may have known to much and certain people couldn't risk her talking. I would be interested to know WHEN Ray came into town. The POI list could be bigger than one person.

Ok, I am the poster from the in session boards that lives in Randolph and is aware of the families involved in this mess. I have been banned from IS because the Admin is on some power trip and didnt like what I had to say....So, that being said, I am JUST tuning today as I was away from TV & internet last night and I cannot beleive the twists this case has taken. The grandmother is not the one who first reported BB missing, a family friend did, then LE called back and spoke w/ the grandmother. The family friend is a woman that I know personally and heard this info directly from her, she insisted that they report her missing as it looked like the mom & grandma really werent concerned yet even thoiugh it had been 12 HOURS since they spoke to her last!!!. According to the friend, she actualy spoke w/ Jacques and he had access to BB Myspace passwords and log in names. He made her give it to him if she was going to be using his computer. Jacques is also the one that found her belongings at the Floating Bridge (not confirmed, but according to friend). The incident back in 93 is not the only involving him, he has had other charges but dont think he was ever convicted. This came from my daycare provider who used to babysit for him & his wife years ago.

Welcome to WS bdmama!
We're very glad you are here to give us inside info.....

SeriouslySearching,
Thank you so much for posting the link for the NG transcripts.:blowkiss:

Now to catch up on this thread.
Everyone here is doing a great job discussing this case.

 

[DM5632]

Can someone get the arrest warrant for Gagnon? It is public record.

 

[SuziQ]

Says she met two other men, I am wondering if Gagnon was one of those other men grrrrrrrrrr. I am so so angry at what has happened to this child for 5 years and no one protected her.

I think he was one of the other men.

I am afraid of that, too.

 

[SuziQ]

Probably not until he's in court this afternoon and the judge doesn't seal it. It will probably not be sealed if MJ's wasn't though. And we'll probably have to wait for media to post it. I hope we don't have to wait till tomorrow!

Absolutely she is being investigated and any other minor children looked into. And, it's entirely possible she didn't know based on threats by the perps. Remember this case from last year, the Mom didn't know:

YES! Absolutely reeling. To know this girl was in the middle of all these creeps for so long and no one did anything to help her...my head is spinning off.

 

[nanandjim]

Oh Gosh... MJ is AR's father... Ugh... No words...

Who supposedly dropped off Brooke at the convenience store? It sounds like this sex program scam may have been perpetrated on this little girl, too. If she were sent off to meet with a "trainer," she could be dead. I hope not; however, it doesn't look good.

Forgive me if this has been answered, but is Ray Gagnon related to Michael Jacques?
