I just can't stand to see her slide to the second page.:([/QUOT
I guess this might be a question for administrators...but is there a way to get the threads separated in terms of urgency? Aja Johnson being one of those.
Like, an Amber Alert, only for Websleuths?

That's a great idea - a websleluth AMBER alert! Can't get any more urgent than this.

Maybe Salem would e-mail Tricia and run the idea by her. SALEM - what do you think???

O/T Hoppy is our mod. I am a mod in the Crimes forum and on a specific missing person's thread (Grateful Doe). Imamaze also is a mod in the Missing forum.

I just act bossy in here because I follow this case closely :) Hoppy is the REAL boss :)

All that aside - I like the Sticky Thread idea for Active Alerts. I will run the idea past Tricia and the other mods.

That would be great. In addition to that, is there a way to denote- maybe with a sticky- 'urgency' when Amber Alerts have been cancelled and/or confused between states but a child is at high risk?

I don't know. I know a sticky can be turned back into a regular thread when the amber alert is canceled, so I think that would make the sticky idea a litte easier to deal with over all. We don't want it to be difficult to administer.

You can post in a sticky thread. So the discussion about Texas canceling the Amber Alert before Aja has been found, when there is a strong possibility that Hobbs went to Texas could be done in the sticky thread.

Aja's case is urgent. I agree one hundred percent. But we must remember that the cases of other missing people are urgent also. Generally if a person has gone missing and has been picked up by Websleuths and the thread becomes busy - it is because that person is in some kind of danger.

Also - look at the bottom of this page and you can see how many posters have viewed Aja's thread. The posters that have viewed the thread, now know about her. While all of them may not be posting here, they know about Aja and are probably keeping an eye out for her.

I understand there is urgency all around, unfortunately. :(
Thanks for the info...
I'll try and work on the Sticky thing.

Let's begin in the early hours of Sunday, January 24th; the place is Geronimo, Oklahoma, which is approximately 100 miles southwest of Oklahoma City. We find ourselves in the stillness of night; it's a typical little RV trailer park. But serenity is suspicious. Suddenly, sounds awaken Shirley Salee, a neighbor of Lester Hobbs, today's subject.
"We heard a kind of loud pop or something about, between 3 and 3:30 (AM) sometime." Shirley and her husband thought it was a gunshot. The body of Tanya Hobbs, 37, was found in the RV later on that Sunday night. The Medical Examiner's Office has ruled the cause of death as blunt force trauma.
Authorities now believe that Lester Hobbs used a hammer to beat his wife, Tanya Hobbs, to death. The noise that Shirley Salee heard the night of January 24th may have been the loud thump of a hammer. But could the crack of a hammer be as loud as a gunshot? Perhaps. Police have not said yet whether they have confiscated this weapon.

Aja, there are a LOT of people out looking for you. Hang in there, baby.
Lester, there are just as many looking for you- and a haircut, or a tan, or a new tatoo, or Mexico, or a hunting cabin, or ANYTHING will not keep them from finding you. If someone is protecting or aiding Lester, OR THINK YOU ARE PROTECTING AJA by aiding Lester....please know that you are not doing the right thing.

I wish I knew the answer to that. But not everyone thinks the way we do, I guess.

Stranger things have happened. Maybe he's told someone some sob story about "them" trying to take Aja away from him. It's hard to believe, though, that whoever might be hiding him wouldn't have heard the reports about Tanya's murder and the fact that Lester IS NOT Aja's father or any kind of relative of hers AT ALL.

I cannot believe two people (with little financial backing) are able to stay hidden for so long :-( I hope someone finds poor Aja alive and well soon.
