I hope she's found safe.

Me Too all seems very strange.

Such a strange case.
Was there someone else at home with dad and Alexis?
When was the last time someone saw her before dad?
Was there tension at home?
She seems to be a "normal" teen. No really big flags in her fb. But then again kids at times don't show their true side on SM.

this. some ppl watch too much csi. if I was in that sitch there would be so much crap said... I tend to put foot in mouth and get blank in crisis.

Those comments are brutal. I cannot imagine for the life of me how so many people can be experts on body language & speech patterns after watching a 12 second clip. I'm more inclined to believe she took off with someone and had the whole thing planned. I do hope she's safe, wherever she is.

I had the same thought, that far too many people fancy themselves educated on these things because they watch ID channel or youtube documentaries. Shoot, I don't even think a trained professional would dare to make such a judgment after only 12 seconds. Seems highly unprofessional, any way.

If my kid went to let the dog outside and never came back, I have no doubt I'd say all kinds of things that would make people go "SHE DID IT! I can tell because... look at her eye twitch, see how she does that thing with her jaw?!" or some other silly thing. It's ridiculous, really. I'm not a trained, polished, public speaker and even if I were, in such a case as my kid missing, I'd certainly not be on top of my game, verbally.

Even if it turns out her step-dad did do something to her, it doesn't make this nasty rush to judgement right or even helpful. Okay, rant over.

Short video from her stepdad here talking about that night on a news station FB:

LOTS of comments about the feeling of people in response to it.

Newest comment is supposedly by a family member.
I'm no expert on body language, etc but to me he looks absolutely exhausted.

Man I've been gone all day and just now getting to check in on WS.

I was REALLY hoping to see "Found Safe" on Alexis by the time I got back here

"L, you need to come home," LC said. "Everything's fine. I just need to make sure you're ok."

AB, a sophomore at Brooklyn High School, was last seen around 7:15 p.m. on Sunday.

"I'm worried to death. That kid is my entire life," C added.

Stepdad says "she never came back home, I mean back inside". Hmmmm???

I joined Websleuths just to say this! I grew up in the area, very very close (the street she went missing from was at the end of my small street). This statement did not concern me at all. Here's why:

There is a very small wooded area and a shallow, slow moving stream behind most of the houses on Roadoan. It's very likely she walked her dog there because there's nothing separating property and the park.

The park, even though it's wooded, is not a place anyone could get lost in long. It's small and everyone knows that right up the hill in the park is the police department. On the other side is the football stadium and two schools that were shut down this fall I've heard police have checked them and that makes sense. It's one of the first places I'd check. If she found the school or the football stadium, she'd know how to get home. If she followed the park east, she'd end up at the library. Everyone knows how to get home from there too. Finally, if she went west, she'd end u back where she came from.

The creek behind her house is typically VERY shallow and slow moving. It would be pretty hard to get into trouble there. The banks aren't even really steep.

Brooklyn is a very small town. It's 4 square miles. They have a small but excellent police force. Cleveland and Parma often help when extra help is needed. It is so close to Cleveland and Parma (another big city) that it wouldn't be impossible for someone to pick her up. I am sure the police are working all those angles.

It's hard not to judge in situations like this, but please try not to.

 

[waterfalllady]

This young lady still has not been found yet. The people of Brooklyn have put up posters all over the place. Brooklyn Police are remaining tight lipped, even to the family, but that may be an important part of the investigation.

At first I thought runaway, but that wooded park behind most of the houses on Roadoan kind of scares me.

 

[ms_x_to_the_m]

Still nothing on this girl?
I was hoping to read in the comments that she was fine but run away. Just needed some time. Or something along those lines. Very silent for someone so young. I still do hope she's safe.

 

[Tillicum]

She was in her PJs. Have we heard if any of her clothes, shoes or make up is missing? Did she have her cell phone with her? Sorry if this has been discussed and I missed it.

Family hangs fliers for 15-year-old A B still missing from Brooklyn. Volunteers searching for the teen hung fliers up around the area Wednesday in hopes someone may come forward with information about Alexis' whereabouts.

Ooh! Maybe that'll help get some media attention...

 

[TravelingBug]

Encouraging someone's just contacted LE after a girl similar to A bummed a cigarette off her earlier and it caught her attention (per the actual person who had the encounter who posted in the Help Bring page trying to ask clarifying questions to see if it really could be her)

Just the fact that someone paid attention enough to something that triggered a 'hmmm' reaction and didn't ignore it is a good thing.

It may not be her, but...possibilities are better than nothing being mentioned!

Family, friends, even those who don't know her, gathered in Brooklyn Thursday night to hold a vigil for AB, 15.

They called it a flashlight vigil. They believe A is out there somewhere and the flashlights are a sign that everyone is still looking.

Michelle Knight, who was kidnapped, tortured and held captive for a decade, was there for support. So were Gina DeJesus' parents. They never gave up either.

"Wherever you are at, no matter what, we're gonna love you, no matter what. We're still going to be here, gonna keep fighting; doesn't matter. God loves everybody, and we're gonna bring you home," Michelle Knight said.
