I can't tell if I am having internet problems/weather, or if WS is especially slow but I don't think I will be able to get the link up either, will try...

 

[nursebeeme]

okay it is up for me now

 

[cluciano63]

I came in late...

farmers should keep in mind, these boys may be out there...

I missed the first part, but it sounds like they are assuming the children are dead...

 

[cluciano63]

Murder Investigation, no timetable for a prosecution...based on info as it develops...

 

[cluciano63]

I did not hear WHY they decided the children are dead...

Wait, he is answering this now....he can't disclose many details, but he can share that during talks with Skelton, he did tell them of an organizaiton, United Foster Outreach and Underground Sanctuaries...which does not exist...

 

[cluciano63]

That is just one example of misinformation from him that indicates the direction of the investigation...

 

[nursebeeme]

police chief

few things to share:

early on he made statement wouldn't be a positive outcome

statements on boys with an organization..

seen false hope continue to grow

based on investigation and meeting on 19th this is a MURDER INVESTIGATION

point of making this a public statement... he saw false hope grow... and with spring coming he wants people in this region thinking these boys are out there and they can be found by farmers, campers, etc..

he also says the false hope caused him great pain

the other issue is informing the mother of the boys

prosecution? no timetable

they continue to work on this and they all (including prosecutor) want to move forward

charges will be requested when they can

why to say murder investigation?
one thing he can share is that JS did ((united foster and underground outreach something or other) name that organization.. no such organization has been found in the investigation.. just one example of misinformation

 

[cluciano63]

This was an outcome that I considered early on and am saying it today more definitvely based on info we have collected, in its entirety

 

[cluciano63]

Search and Recovery in the spring?

Large window of time, great distances he could have covered, but hard to go out and search without tips...

 

[cluciano63]

John Skelton is the primary suspect in this investigation, it is a murder investigation.

Regarding tips early on, any credible?

He says his heart as well as his logic are in this case, he wanted to believe in the tips and sightings...but none panned out

 

[cluciano63]

John is aware that LE believes the children are dead;

Cathy Herrera, for Tanya's family speaking..."days are long, nights are longer, emotions running gamut from utter despair to peaceful feeling knowing boys are in a better place. This family has endured more since last Sept than many have endured in a lifetime. A strong family, unfied by faith in God..." reads a bible quote...
