What a wonderful turnout! I'm not an official crowd counter, but I'd say probably 200 people showed up. The news said 100, but I think there was a lot more. The weather was perfect-while it's been beastly hot lately, today was extremely pleasant-maybe mid 70s. Seems things aligned perfectly for the search. Apparently, Kelsie's family-per KRDO news that just aired, were unaware that the area we were in had been searched by LE. He apparently was unaware of this until we were almost done. He seemed apologetic, almost as though it were a waste of our time. Nothing could be further from the truth! My daughter and I were only too happy to do something tangible to help find evidence related to Kelsie. We would certainly go again should they ever need us to. We have been so impatient with the lack of information given to us by LE-imagine how her parents, friends and family feel, because they don't know a whole lot more than we do. As frustrating as it has to be for them, I do get it. They don't want to tip a certain person off. In fact, I wanted to make sure I saw what was on the news so I didn't share anything not already reported. I do hope that whoever did this knows that all those people today care so much about Kelsie. The vibe of love for her is in such contrast to how people feel about whoever is responsible for this tragedy and the enablers who shield him. Coworkers and neighbors and the businesses they frequent, they all are viewing them with suspicion and mistrust. And mockery. Mike, a patron of the liquor store did one impersonation of a family member on the news that was SNL worthy. One person's selfishness and immaturity has brought so much pain to one family, and scorn to their own.
Anyways, the items we were looking for were: a rainbow colored teddy bear, car key, black rosary, a metal "Love" sign on a chain, and US Army backpack. Also, Kelsie may have been wearing blue jeans and Ugg boots. This is great to know-we will keep our eyes open for these items.
