Wish Dreamweaver would come back.........

Good heavens, I've caught that 'in your head thing' from believe09.

 

[zwiebel]

It is lovely to hear from you Dreamweaver, but honestly I am quite spooked because I was composing that wish and when I posted it, you'd appeared. This is the second time this has happened on this thread and I'm only a newbie!
You're all welcome in my head though, anytime, just as long as you clear out some of the clutter while you're there!

 

[Cubby]

Thank you believe09. I had never joined a forum in my life and just intended to read Bob's threads from beginning to end. I was drawn in though, not least because I was struck by how some of you have stuck with this case and worked so hard for him.
I have a plan for listening to Disappeared that involves Mr Zwiebel calling one of his friends in the States and me listening on the phone. He's not co-operating!

If you have sound on your computer, I think the full episode will be streamed online at some point. I don't know how soon that happens after the show airs on TV, but there are links to view previously aired disappeared shows.

I'm sure the full episode will be linked here when it is available online.

 

[Cubby]

Great to see you, dream'. We miss you tremendously and pray every day you're getting better and stronger.

Huge hugs!

Thanks Cubby, that's just about what Mr Zweibel's been telling me so I guess I should quieten down and wait now. You can't blame me for questioning him though, he's from a country where the leprechauns know everything.......

Robert Harrod's days in the sun ended July 27, 2009.

All I can hope is that justice is served.

When his story is shown on Disappeared, that could be the catalyst.

:loveyou:

We have missed you every moment. :blowkiss:

That was even freaky for me, zwiebel.

The Facebook page for Mr. Harrod is still locked up tight with no information posted except for two pictures of a much younger Mr. Harrod. The Facebook page is run by Mr. Harrod's daughters.


It might be helpful if the daughters put up information regarding the time Mr. Harrod was last seen on July 27, 2009, as well as the circumstances surrounding that day.

[zwiebel]

Thank you Angelo. I didn't like to be rude but I did think the page was rather uninformative for anyone who might want to help find Mr Harrod. I am sure the family could do much better.

 

[zwiebel]

I feel sure it must be because they resent the interference of outsiders, but the trouble is when Disappeared airs people are going to be looking for info and won't know that. It will look terrible for the family, as though they just don't care.

 

[zwiebel]

Loved or not, the space a missing person leaves behind is unnatural. It's an interruption of the natural order that spreads out and affects everything. Even if you ask no questions, never speak of it. I know.
I wish one member of the family would come out fighting for Mr Harrod. Better late than never.
The thought of a resolution may be dreadful but that's the only way to make things better.
I wish this is the year that Bob Harrod is found.....

Me too. He needs his dignity restored. No one should be left out in the cold-he deserves to have the proper respect shown him. He needs to come home.

Found this article and it's made me wonder if there are quarry/mineworks near Placentia?
Sure do seem to have some reckless people around that way.

Primarily known as a bedroom community, Placentia is known for its quiet neighborhoods and strong public safety.

Well, safe or not, the article about mine explosives got me thinking that around my way, disused industrial sites often become popular dumping grounds for unwanted trash. I didn't mean to imply anything about the people of Placentia as a whole, just the person who took Mr Harrod and the one who dumped a whole load of explosives on open ground.

 

[zwiebel]

There was a great map posted earlier, I think by Oriah? Can anyone help me find it?

 

[zwiebel]

'A report issued in 2000 following a nearly three-year study by DOC's Office of Mine Reclamation concluded that there are at least 39,000 abandoned mine sites in the state.'

Worth reading the first five paragraphs for a missing story with a feel good ending!

 

[zwiebel]

They have a public access mapping viewer of all mines in the area, but it needs Flash and I can't get it. Maybe some nice person could have a look for me?

[zwiebel]

Got there in the end! Now I just have to find some way of overlaying it with place names to see if there's actually any useful information there. Some people in this world are very good with maps, but I'm not one of them!
