That's what I mean... Nancy makes reference to the ex and the custody hearing, and doesn't bother to follow it up with a comment from the person in question. Of course the public will make an inference from that... Shoddy journalism, IMO.
Perhaps the person in question refused comment. Although, like most, her career will extend as long as her looks... she does make a point, likely with some inside information.

Is it possible that she is assisting the police in their investigation by making such comments?

She followed up on her FB page confirming the ex is a suspect. Her comments are very leading. IMO she knows something and she is playing along.

While I am on a roll, I have to point out the oddity of the "beautiful mother of three" description.

She parented none of them daily, and what if she were an ugly, or unattractive mother of three?

Sad and pathetic, those we trust in to report the truth, and hold society at large accountable.

Does she (Nancy) get in trouble for doing that ? She has no proof....none that she can share. If he has not been named a poi can she be in sued or anything like that ?

Beauty can be inside too. Some may not find Jessica beautiful. Does that help?

She was a mother of three. She is stating fact.

I think Nancy Hixt does her job well. She builds a relationship with victims and their families. She has been the only one keeping the stories alive for many cases. She has been with Global for a while now. Some may think she is beautiful but I also know some beautiful unemployed reporters.

"The homicide unit has searched the home Newman’s ex-boyfriend—the father of her child—and extended family lived in at the time of her disappearance March 10. Newman was scheduled to attend a custody hearing the next day."

" “It’s really, really hard,” she said. “Yeah, they’re still eating dinner, having fun going to movies, doing whatever they want and they’ve taken that away from my daughter forever. But also, her boys have no mother forever.”"

Interesting comments from friends on the reporter's recent report. Nancy Hixt (reporter) does again state that the ex is a suspect.
https://www.facebook.com/CalgaryCrimeSafety?fref=nf

Also, I believe it is the ex who she shares one child with...

Nancy makes a comment to another poster who commented, saying she was reminded of his case with Jessica's. This is the story they must be referring to: "Police have said the killing was motivated by a custody dispute between Lane, 24, and Cuthill, who had a daughter from a previous relationship.

Comment from the person in question? I have never seen that in Canada.

It is very telling.

http://calgaryherald.com/news/crime/timothy-rempel-again-denied-bail-in-killing-of-ryan-lane
"All three were arrested and charged with kidnapping and first-degree murder in the death of Ryan Lane, who was last seen in February 2012. His remains were found nine months later.

Police have said the killing was motivated by a custody dispute between Lane, 24, and Cuthill, who had a daughter from a previous relationship."

I do not think she can be sued LE had stated previously that they were looking at several POI. Nancy Hix does state on her pg in response to comments that he is a suspect which I think is different than a POI
Does she (Nancy) get in trouble for doing that ? She has no proof....none that she can share. If he has not been named a poi can she be in sued or anything like that ?

Sure is, especially that a woman was also involved, and not just one killer as well... Similar to Catie Miller's case.

It is difficult to focus on her mother. There would not be a day where my child, has a child, and drops it in my lap to raise. My child, would then get a very quick, and decisive life lesson... regardless of the circumstances.

I arrogantly continue to believe the parenting leading up to that issue, currently won't lead to that issue.

And I hope you never find yourself in that situation. Choosing between your principles and a child's well-being if it does may not be as straight cut as you imagine. Being a grandparent brings on a whole world of responsibility that you hadn't even thought of. One of them being that, in the family dynamic, you are still considered the adult. Threads and threads of abused children that end up broken and thrown away and the first question that's asked is 'where was the family, didn't anyone see what was going on?' That would be us. The grown ups. The ones with years of experience raising children under our belts, as it would be seen. I don't think Jessica had children just to drop them in anyone's lap. If, as it would seem, there was drama in her life I expect it was a mutual decision for them to be taken out of it. I guess you have to face that hurdle to find out whether the reality would be how you'd imagined it.

It is also interesting that there is a shot of the ex's home which has been searched. I guess now whoever knows that home and its occupants now know which ex the reporter is referring to.

I suspect the reporter has a firm grip on what is about to unfold. This isn't the first time the news stated details in this case before the police did.

Sounds plural in the article too (BBM):
"Police haven’t named any suspects or laid charges in her murder, but confirm persons of interest in the case include those who were the last to see her before she disappeared.

It very well could have been for the child's best interests to be placed in the care of the grandparents. We just don't know what Jessica's past history was and what the family could have attempted and did attempt to keep Jessica actively parenting her children. It is a harsh reality.

And this part..
"“It’s really, really hard,” she said. “Yeah, they’re still eating dinner, having fun going to movies, doing whatever they want and they’ve taken that away from my daughter forever. But also, her boys have no mother forever.”"

Well this seems to be painting a picture…sneaky journalism! It's so maddening, Jessica isn't the only victim, it snowballs to her children, her family, her friends, and when the murderer(s) are charged - then their friends, family, children, etc.

And the counselling will continue when the children get older and learn who the murderer(s) was. If it is one of the children's biological father and/or other family member(s) they will be devastated all over again.

Ummm... no one called Nick Lush a beautiful father of three. Even if it were an "inner" beauty description, it is essentially irrelevant, and a touch patronizing. It really is saint making and sensationalizing the story to somehow make it sound more tragic... the pusher preaching the the grief addicts.

Precisely. Read my last paragraph again.

Have I mentioned I am anti-saint making? That goes for those left behind as well.
