If you go to the first thread within the first 30 posts or so Kimster listed those that we know are missing in the area. I'll be back with a link in a minute.

Here you go.

Websleuths Crime Sleuthing Community - View Single Post - Remains found in Big Spring

Bump Some we know about. I'm willing to bet there are some that may not have been reported or no one knows about.

Well dog gone it. That is not what I meant to do. Link above to a post with links to missing from the area.

So, why were so many leaking to the press that they were so sure this was Hailey?

Seriously, I've never seen leaking like this before and the information being SO WRONG.

Kimster I was going to message you the other day because I noticed the media reports like little things have been a a cluster F of wrong. I seriously was but I didn't because it's MSM what else could you allow. Lol. I just noticed like little reports being wrong. Like that one that said the height and hair color matching Hailey's the day I called Nancy Grace show being completely wrong. I don't know if anyone else noticed that either like little things in the media articles being wrong.

Still stunned, can't tear myself away from here even to go make my afternoon coffee.

A true WTF moment. Don't even know where to begin trying to figure out how they could have been so mistaken, and loose lipped about it to boot!!!

I remember the worker who found the remains said the hand looked like it could be that of a young child.

Is there a missing young boy from that area?

My heart is breaking for whoever has been found and their family unless one of their family members had something to do with it.

Someone almost got away with murder.

IMO

That was the first thought I had too, once I picked my jaw up off the floor and regained my composure. A hand small enough to look likes a child's hand, yet not female...must be a younger boy and not a full grown man.

So what male children or young men are missing from that area?

we all were hoping the time had come for Hailey to be laid to rest with dignity & someone would have to pay for her disappearance... such disappointment.... I think the search should be closer to the Adkins families property

I'm not shocked, coincidences happen every day, but it is surprising.

I hope the Tarrant County ME has gotten it right. I don't know how definitive these skeletal gender determinations are but my guess is that it depends on the condition of the skeleton (and how well it can be reconstructed) and on how far through puberty the deceased was (that's when skeletal differences between males and females become more pronounced). If there's any doubt I hope they get a second opinion. Eventually the DNA evidence will probably tell the tale for sure but it needs to be correct at this time also.

Obviously I hope whoever it is can be identified.

The supposed long hair, proximity to Shawn's family residence, and maybe even fabric that appeared to match Hailey's dark sweatpants or some other article of clothing that she was reportedly wearing...I guess I can't really fault authorities for jumping the gun but I'm sure those involved have learned a lesson from this.

What part of texas did Franklyn floyd run to after kidnapping Micheal Hughes? Or was that oklahoma?

That clown guy (Dobbs?) said that part of the skull was missing.

I was SO sure. I am really angry, but not sure who to be angry at. My head is spinning right now.

I am joining the table of all eating crow! Yes, even the media and Nancy Grace should join us in our crow fest. But, although the media jumped to a conclusion that must be wrong since the bones are male, the exposure placed Haikey back in the spotlight, and that is always good.

Another good lesson for all of us to remember.

Until something is officially announced we can't assume anything.
Couple of things. Is it possible the police floated this rumor to see how Billie and Shawn would act when they heard the news?

OR

Did someone in the police department simply jump the gun.

If I remember correctly the news articles quoted law enforcement sources right?

Of course law enforcement sources does not always mean police. Could be an administrative assistant's assistant or a guard on duty at night or cleaning person right? Could be anybody when the media is reporting a "source."

i've learned even IF something is officially announced by LE we can't always count on the information as being the TRUTH...JMHO

I know what Nancy Grace would say - they should have been able to tell with a preliminary glance at the pelvis whether this was a boy or girl.

As it is . . . :banghead:
