I’m in the EST zone, but does anyone know what network, or will it stream here? I ask because Fox56News says it’s a Central Kentucky station. It is a Fox News affiliate, I guess? So maybe on Fox News?

Canoe Road is where his grandmother is buried.
IMO.

Not from that area, but it looks ~13 miles from start of Panbowl Branch Road to where it meets Canoe Road. Maybe ~10 miles as the crow flies (you’d have to bushwhack to do this). Canoe Road is a really long road, so it could be much further.

You’ll have to steam it from a local outlet probably. I can’t imagine any national outlet will be airing it.

Rbm.
So, not near his grandma in the cemetery, then ?
Whoever took him there meant for him to never be found.
Guilt must have weighed heavily on her and whomever else may have known.
Lying to the police and tampering with a body would be possible charges.

From tlcya's link, I think that same trooper had given interviews soon after the Kevin Mullins murder by Mickey Stines ?
I recognized the name and distinctive voice.
Imo.

That sweet little boy. Jayden Spicer, age 10. I remember when my little guy was 10. That is the cutest age for a little boy! So precious.

 

[seasideForest]

I don't care how "high energy" he was. It's called you brought this beautiful little boy into this world, and it was your job to keep him safe and show him what love looks like.

And if you can't do that, then it's your job to get him into the hands of someone who can, even if that means contacting CPS and giving him up to foster parents and of course keeping him safe until the help actually comes.

Good! Thank you! Justice will be done eventually.

 

[alexwood]

Saw this coming from a mile away and, although I try to see the good in everyone, this evening I have hate in my heart. I'm so angry. As a boy mama x 3, I don't care how "high energy" he was. It's called you brought this beautiful little boy into this world, and it was your job to keep him safe and show him what love looks like. Gonna go walk the farm and scream now. Impatiently waiting for arrest(s).

Why don't people who aren't fit to be parents use birth control? I will go to my grave not understanding why. O.K. Edited to add: My comment is very harsh. What I should have posted was why don't they willingly give up these children -- no matter what age the children are -- for adoption? There are so many people "out there" who would love to give a wonderful life to an unwanted and unappreciated child! {I apologize, but my anger got in the way. I am still a strong proponent of birth control.}

Noooo.
