Yes, SS, we are all curious as to who it might be.

 

[Tom'sGirl]

Who are you referring to SS?

...a book? Research? I was not aware of that SS. Hi Lauren!

Hi, SS...Could you please tell us who you are speaking of?

Yes, SS, we are all curious as to who it might be.

Good for her! Wish she had something good to write about, like an arrest/conviction!

 

[Lauren - CA]

Thanks TG......I was a bit confused there. I would never have found that post.

Frankly, I find it troubling myself. I don't want people to use their deaths as a way to gain fame and fortune. There is nothing to be gained right now from writing a book. No perp is going to come from it and what is important now is to find out who did this horror to the girls. I want the OSBI to solve this case and stop making excuses for the way they botched it. There is still a killer or killers walking free. This comes first!

Thanks for the link. Now, if something would just BREAK in this case!!!

I agree with SS

I guess it depends on why the book is being written. If it's being written strictly to make money, then I find it a bit troubling myself, in agreement with SS and GS. But, if it's strictly an emotional release (kinda like music is for me), and not an avenue toward fame, then I am all for it.

Just my humble opinion...

Cheers,

Or if it's to inform the public and to keep the case out there, I see nothing wrong with it either. Maybe this person doesn't plan to finish the book until the case is solved but is just staying up to date with their research.

Another possibility as well. Good point YD.

I think we all need to think back to the day we heard about this tragedy. The emotions, the shock of it all. I agree with you KP. It could be an emotional release of sorts. I also hope that the book isn't for profit. I would hate to think that anyone is profiting from the deaths of two innocent children.

 

[ArizonaGiGi]

Who knows. Maybe the person writing the book is donating some of the profits to a victims group. Maybe the person wants to bring publicity to the story. Maybe the person wants publicity in the way of a book so this doesn't happen to someone else in the future. Maybe something can be learned from the book. I can think of many reasons a person might write a book. And if they profit in the process, I don't feel like they are profiting off the death of the girls, imo they are educating the readers and profiting in the process. That's just how I see it.

I hope they don't donate ANY profits from the book to the family of the victims. Unless you want to make an indirect donation to the American Indians. (Casino)

 

[Trino]

I welcome a book. Something needs to be done to keep the case in the public's eye. The cheerleaders have been adequately compensated, there's a memorial to the girls; maybe the author would consider a small educational fund for students who attended the same school. BUT IMO the families have been adequately compensated, as have the casinos. (I'm still amazed with a gaping mouth at the casino connections.)

I don't think there is much profit in books unless they become best sellers.
Some writers do well to recoup their publishing expenses.

Hey guys! I'm from a small OK town myself...Ardmore/Lone Grove. Graduated from LG. Going to OU now (GO Sooners!) This case has saddened me since I first heard of it. Honestly.. I've never been in the Weleetka area. It makes me wanna scream though that these poor girls haven't seen the justice they so rightfully deserve!

OH...I have a younger "sister" (ex-boyfriends sister, still VERY close with the family though) I may be able to shed some light on what might be running through these girls heads at that age and what might have been going on with them.
