Are there 2 threads for this case? I' m super confused.

Yes, it looks like someone started one this morning also. Maybe one of the Mods can combine them??

Well here is my post from the other one. I do not know if it's been posted here or not. soz if so.

Wait, I don't understand? Possibly restricting it because they're assuming she's now a victim of an SA? The alert on the seeking the lost fb' page says LE believe her in imminent and immediate danger of death or great bodily harm.

Now I'm confused. Am I allowed to share this? If not please remove .

The only other thread I see is in the 'Missing Persons Information & Support' subforum.

If that's the only other one, iirc, that subforum is used just for that purpose. Information & Support. Not conversation/sleuthing.

I guess I live in a state of confusion....because I don't understand how these crazy things happen. I feel so terrible for these parents...and this child. At 14, she really can't understand what's going on....

Thanks Bessie. I'm still bumping into walls and walking into dead end hallways around here.

This case is so scary. That dude is the epitome of GRRRROSS !

He (pictures and M.O.) reminds me of a man I am familiar with who is referred to by others who know him well as …
"his elevator don't go all the way to the top".

That ^^^^^ may, IMO, be the situation here with this dude as he seems to think this "relationship" is appropriate. It is so sick. This child has been manipulated by a perv who is turned on by her while he is married with two children according to the reports. I wonder if Haylie ever babysitted his kids?

I am concerned for Haylie's well being. If she decides she wants to leave him during their abduction time and return home, there is no telling what he will do. I wonder how far this "relationship" has gone regarding activities prior to the abduction. I have a 14 yo daughter and this case makes me want to puke.

MOO

So worried for this girl!! This guy sounds obsessed with her. No telling what he could do.

 

[Tugela]

yes, the same guy who apparently has a criminal record as well. This is just getting sloppy! Although I have to say IMO, i don't think it fits on this one. IMO. lol

He had an arrest, but presumably not a charge or conviction. That would explain why no picture.

 

[Tugela]

A 14 yr old is not capable of making the decision to 'willingly' run off with a 33 yr old ex con. JMO

And yet, they do. On a fairly routine basis it seems.

 

[Tugela]

White moved in with DN because West lives next door to White's mom is how I read it, but I think I misunderstood and thought West then moved in nearby.

Either way.. how do these guys get that obsessed? :banghead:

My reading was that she got sent to live with the uncle presumably because of concerns about her relationship with this other guy, who lived next door to the mother.

I would guess that she didn't care for that much, remained in contact with him, and they hatched this scheme to run away together. So, she goes for a walk and by prearrangement he drives by, calls her to attract her attention, then she runs over and hops into his car and the speed away. To start a new life together somewhere else.

Where would that be? I would guess not local, he certainly would not take her home, so probably they are a long way away by now.

Personally, I just do not get the attraction some of these young girls have toward these older men; I would have thought anyone more than a couple of years older than me who was interested in "that way" was super creepy and disgusting. Yet it keeps happening, it seems.

 

[Tugela]

Because at that age they are discovering the opposite sex. However, they are less interested in boys their own age, who they generally see as immature children. Instead the want someone mature and adult, but not particularly old, so that usually means a guy in the 20-30 something range.

Go into your daughters bedroom and see what teen crushes are plastered all over the walls. You are probably not going to see too many boys there, mostly they will be young men.

Well, I don't have a teenager but I was one...and 30's would have been beyond gross to me. 20, maybe or 21, might seem exciting. 30=loser material for sure.

I think by virtue of us being on at the same time I'm responding to you a lot. Don't worry, I'm not stalking you. :bedtime:

While I believe that at that age girls are interested in 'older' men, it is meant to be a time of harmless exploration. I remember having an insane crush on Leonardo Dicaprio when I was 12 and he was in his twenties! Did I actually in my heart of hearts want Leo to be my boyfriend? No! I didn't want ANYONE to be my boyfriend, I just wanted to think about it and figure myself out. But if he had shown up at my door and told me we were going away together, I definitely would have said yes. Is that 'willing'? In some ways, yes. But in important ways, no. When people say 'willingly left with', it implies that a person has the logical reasoning capabilities to fully explore the possible outcomes of a situation. A 14 year old girl DOES. NOT. possess those. That does not mean they're stupid, it doesn't even mean that they can't conjure up theoretical/hypothetical situations. What it DOES mean is that they are much less aware than an adult about what will probably happen, and that that is much different than what they want to happen.

Haylie's father Jimmy White said, "To be honest with you, she was involved with him behind my back. I just neglected to see it. Now that I see it, she needs help. Both of them need help."

Much to Nixon's dismay, the two climbed into West's 2005 silver GMC Envoy and took off with no idea where they'd end up.

"I tried to pull her leg to get her out of the truck, but she wouldn't get out," Nixon said. "She just kind of laughed at me."

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- An Amber Alert remains in effect for a missing 14-year-old girl. We are now getting a look at the 33-year-old man she is believed to have taken off with. They say he was a man who they had trusted.

Harris County deputies say they've not yet found Haylie White, 14, or Jacob West, 33, Both have been missing since Tuesday afternoon. Investigators say Haylie was last seen with West leaving her northwest Harris County home.

"She's not answering, not texting," said Haylie's mother Jan Nixon. "She erased her Facebook (profile)."

It's been more than 24 hours since Nixon saw her daughter Haylie.


The Amber Alert is still active, and the FBI is involved in the search.
