MN MN - Amy Pagnac, 13, Osseo, 5 Aug 1989

Perhaps initially the mother felt A had run away and would return but later figured out she did not because her things and money were still around. Maybe that's why she kept her medical appointment - if A had previ

Well, whether a person would leave town for a few days for a medical procedure under those circumstances likely depends at least in part on what the procedure was, how much trouble it was giving you, and how long you had been waiting for the appointment, as well as whether there was anything you could do at home. If you're just sitting around waiting for a phone call, you can do that as easily at the medical facility as in your house.

Did it say whose medical procedure it was?

So, the younger sister was home sick the day Amy disappeared? Did Amy go to school that day? If not, why not?

Amy did not go to school that day because it was Saturday. It was also summer break and school was not in session. Amy's mom said several times publicly that Amy had been looking forward to back-to-school shopping.

That's a good question. But didn't she disappear in August? So there would not have been school in session

Yes, it was a Saturday, school was not in session. Amy's mom has publicly stated many times that Amy was very much looking forward to back-to-school shopping that evening.

hmmmm....well, according to the friend of the younger sister....post above....little sis was home that day from school....:dunno:

Yes, August 5

She stayed home from going to the farm. Mom stayed with her. Not sure where the school thing came from. Just another example of how stuff gets twisted around here.

I can "see" the mother doing this: eccentric, naive, probably innocent IMO.

One thing that I find strange is that LE is tearing up the place, yet Mom is okay with that. If it were my house and yard, I would be a wreck.

Amy's mom was just glad to have the public aware of Amy's case, and for there to be visible investigative activity on the case, according to public statements. I can't imagine it is easy, but when finding your child is a top priority, you're likely to cooperate with investigation activity and do whatever you can to accommodate.

It did get the case out there. With any luck, someone who actually knows something will come forward and tell what they know soon.

Well, I also have many years experience advocating on this case. Hence that verified insider notation.

You are a verified advocate for the missing. That doesn't necessarily mean you are right.

Bolded and snipped by me

If the date is correct, August 5th 1989 was a Saturday meaning there was no school.

There is no way on this earth that her sister is a suspect. But the most traumatic thing that I dealt with as a child was when my grandma stroked in front of my and died. I was 11 at the time and I honestly don't remember if I went to school that day or not.

I'm just saying that maybe she has been told that she was sick and didn't go to school, which would explain why Amy was the only one that went with her father to the farm?

I guess my question is why was it only Amy and her dad going to the farm, and for what? I would imagine that if it was to work on something, the whole family would have gone, especially on a Saturday.

And who really stops at a gas station when you are 2 miles from home to do a #2? Maybe that is just the chick in me and my public bathroom phobia. Even on roadtrips, I wait until we need gas, and then I still have walked away after surveying the scene.

MM stopped for gas. He also visited the restroom. This has been mentioned several times over the years, but for some reason I can't find those posts. Not sure if they got deleted by the mods, or if I just haven't gotten to them yet.
Articles on this case say they went to tend crops. I would imagine that if you are going out to a field to take care of farm chores, you don't bring a sick kid out there. You wouldn't leave an eight-year-old at home alone, sick, all day. So one parent stays home with the sick child and the other parent takes the well child with to do chores. It doesn't seem that odd to me, but then again, I grew up with a family with large gardens and grandparents who grew crops. So maybe it just seems normal to me.

You are a verified advocate for the missing. That's doesn't necessarily mean you are right.

Nope, just that I have more information about this case than you do.

 

[Whisper2112]

I thought they already had family DNA for Amy. Why would they need more? Or am I mistaken?

Familial DNA is good. The actual DNA of the person is better.

It seems more like you want to take over this thread.
