Sorry if I've missed this info in past posts. But do we know what religion the family was? I'm thinking Catholics are the only ones who go in the mornings... Not sure though.
From what I have read I am pretty sure she was Mormon.

That is what one of the things that I counted as average teen girl. But you could be onto another one if she acted "devout" when at church or temple. A poster said that some of the group of church girls that she knows is very upset. They said she was upset b/c they felt used and betrayed. I think it was said b/c they drove her back and forth to church and thought she was like them and after AB did this she feels she was "posing" by pretending to be like them. I can't quite spit out what I am trying to say but I hope you get the idea.

I apologize if this is info that was previously posted... i haven't had time to keep up lately!

I hope that the authorities in Washington will begin to look seriously at Alyssa's freakish myspace friends from that region of the country.
Investigators might begin to look at the disapperance of 10 year old Lindsey Baum from Washington in an entirely different light. Who would of thought of 15 to 17 year old girls as potential culprits in this disappearance?

Alyssa's "dark" and "emo" freaks live in Forks, WA and Lacey, WA. Is this a mere coincidence?

Thank You for posting this, it could very well be a good thing for LE to look into. Nothing surprises me these days

Respectfully snipped
Bingo! And you've hit precisely on the very thing that troubles me most about the reports that AB was treated at a local hospital for suicidal and homicidal ideation prior to her transfer to the custody of the GP. She continued to have unfettered access to the internet, not to mention unsupervised time with her brothers and other children.
Didn't ILC say that the daycare had ceased operation a few months ago? I wonder if there could be a correlation there...
Sorry. I know who Grandpa's employer is, but have no clue of his schedule.
I had heard (on WS) that grandpa sometimes worked out of town, but of course originally I was hearing that grandpa sent Elizabeth home that night.
So I have no idea if he was there or not.
But I can tell you that my husband is working out of town this week and I would definitely notice if his car was gone. Granted our property and home are not as large as AB's, but I still think I would notice.
Personally, if I had a missing teen (like when they found out AB was not in class and couldnt' find her) I would probably check for the cars first.... but then again, my own sister is one of the teens that I know of who stole mom & dad's truck before she had her liscense. LOL (Unfortunately for her we lived across the street from a deputy sheriff and she only made it about a block before he spotted her, and he knew she didn't have a liscense.)
And I read a comment from a friend of AB: "She attended seminary every morning, church every sunday, and events of the stake."
Another aspect to her personality.
.+MY BOLD
Initially when this began there was speculation that she may have been into the "jugalo/juggalette" subculture of ICP (Insane Clown Posse). The most recent picture, IMHO, indicates she may have been. And there are frequent mentions of "wooot wooot," the juggalo call, on AB's pages and those of her friends. I am in no way an expert on this subculture, but I have known kids who identified with it. For most it was just a phase of their alienated adolescence, but a son of a friend of mine who was into it heavily later killed himself. The mom was a very strict parent - not in a good way - and had him taken off to one of those boot camp-like training programs out of the country. He hanged himself years later, not as a (direct) result of that, or of the juggalo scene.
I think that she did identify with the horrorcore music, and the movies, and maybe because she had a bad early upbringing, it contributed to where she now is.
Conflicting reports. Seems funny that one news source says one thing and another says something somewhat different.
I think I am leaning to the fact that the GF told EO to go home.
Bolded by me -- I know I remember reading this, and I am fairly certain it was in a news source -- I am discovering that some of what I read since the case broke ---original artilces from local papers - has been edited out or altered in some way -- My post yesterday showed a quote from Sheriff White in a local news source that has dissappeard from the original source, but can be found in blogs all over the internet
White said Elizabeth spoke with her parents on the phone before she left her friend's house.Excerpted from http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,569338,00.html on October 23, 2009 (now gone from article)
"Her parents said she should leave and get home," he told Fox.
Does anyone have any clues on where the "grandfather sent her home" statements came from?
I am still curious about the timelline and all of the discrepencies involving just who knew where any of these children were
Of course my guess is that the original reports were correct
I found the "gf sent her home" theory not in an article from a news source, but in a comment on an article just now -- the commenter is defending E's mother (I tend to believe her, in that what she heard from her source)
