Edited out... I should look up more often

They just released her name............

SNIPPED...........

Father searched for girl

Neighbors identified the child as Alanna Gallagher.

John Janus, who lives on Crystal Brook Drive, the next street over to the west, said his 11-year-old daughter attends school with Alanna’s older sister, and that the girl frequently played at his home.

She had brown curly hair and a constant smile.

“She seemed smarter than the average 5-year-old, just because of the
questions she’d always ask,” Janus said. “And her parents are nice and very, very smart people. They like books. The last time I was in their home, the front room looked like a library.”
Janus said the father is “a cool guy” with a great sense of humor

The photo of those teddy bears just hit me like a 2-by-4 over the head. I saw a photo earlier today of that little baby girl dressed as an angel. This hurts. She was such a little sweetheart. I can't think about what happened to little Alanna. I think I might need a break. I'm going away for a few days. I hope they find the perp and give him a hot bath...in acid.

did anyone ever report her missing????

Yes, the parents did. They went looking for her door to door first. It sounds like they were accustomed to letting her play outside.

Yes her parents did ..........

I am thinking that I am going to move this thread over to located. You guys won't feel a thing.. maybe a slight breeze. Just hang on for a sec.

Alanna's dad went door to door Monday night looking for her and the police had been called at that time. Why didn't this story make the Fort Worth and Dallas news before her dumped remains were found? Few knew she was missing on Tuesday morning, so few were looking for her and for strange occurrences. Wth?

From article linked up thread

John Janus, who lives on Crystal Brook Drive, the next street over to the west, said his 11-year-old daughter attends school with Alanna’s older sister, and that the girl frequently played at his home.

She had brown curly hair and a constant smile.

Her murder is still not on the Dallas Morning News. Why? Someone might read the story and know important information to give to the police.

Edit: I finally found this story on there.

I guess another interesting question is, why hasn't the family's name been released? Maybe LE is trying to protect them/the investigation from the likely media storm that will happen when the family's non-traditional structure comes up. (I don't think I can elaborate; see parking lot thread.)

What parking lot thread?? I can't find anything related to this in parking lot? Tia

Eta duh...nevermind

 

[ArianeEmory]

My mouth just dropped open, reading this. OMG. If it wasn't the parents, then it must be someone looking for attention. Which means they'll do it again. Lord almighty. O.O

When I click on your link, the murder comes up front and center, with a photo of the vigil. I can't read the article because I'm not a subscriber, though.
