Nevermind! Posted info about a different suspect in Rosie's case. I think I need to go to bed!

No you are right, the guy in this article is just one of the suspects. Scary.

Police seize surveillance video.

Surveillance footage taken of the area surrounding the girl's home is currently under investigation.
'Our contacts at the FBI have been helping us with that. They’ve been working on enhancing that [surveillance video],' Mr Sanders told Fox 13.
'Right now, we do know that there are images on there and our investigators are analyzing that and trying to determine what use those are and if any evidence exists,' he said.

Officials revealed on Thursday that a surveillance camera at the Newbolds' house in West Jordan, Utah captured images from around the time of her disappearance on Tuesday morning.

I am so glad this family had cameras and I am praying that the perp didnt know it and crossed in front of the cameras.

As a part of our home security package we also have cameras.

IMO

Hope the killer is found soon. What a beautiful, beautiful little girl. I can't imagine the heartbreak the parents and her best friend/little sister must be experiencing. I pray the Lord will comfort them. This is just truly awful...

On JVM last night...I cannot cut and paste on this computer but it was very interesting

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1206/28/ijvm.01.html.

MURPHY: Yes. And you know, I don`t usually say that on your show in these cases. Jane, we`ve had too many of these kinds of stories, girls disappearing from their beds in the middle of the night. I`m always primarily suspicious about the parents, drugs and all this stuff.

But this does seem a little bit different.
I agree. And the good news is -- I know this is weird to call it good news -- but because the child was found so quickly and there was a sexual assault, there`s at least a chance that there will be forensic evidence. And I do think that there was code in the investigator`s description of "we don`t yet have a suspect to announce". I think they know what happened. And that`s a good thing for any other little kids in the area.

I`m sure the parents in that region are terrified. It`s unusual, but when it happens, this is pretty much what it looks like.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, this also shares some commonality with another unsolved case. We all remember this one. Little missing Isabel Celis from Arizona; she was snatched from her bedroom. And her parents made desperate pleas to anyone who might have kidnapped her for ransom.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SERGIO CELIS, FATHER OF ISABEL CELIS: We are cooperating to the fullest extent with the investigation. We are increasing the reward. Just please, please to the person or persons who have Isabel, tell us your demands. Tell us what you want.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

VELEZ-MITCHELL: That`s a little bit different because cops are still hunting for little Isabel Celis. And Utah police say that Sierra`s mom, brother and sister were home when she was reported missing, but her dad had already left for work.

So Sergeant Drew Sanders, in terms of DNA, have you gotten -- because as Wendy Murphy said, this angelic child`s body was recovered so quickly -- have you been able to get DNA given it was a sexual assault? Have you been able to see if there`s a match to that DNA?

SANDERS: Well, we have gathered evidence. Unfortunately, I can`t really discuss what that evidence is at this point in the investigation. But understandably DNA is something that takes a while just to analyze and to grow and get it into a condition where you can start making matches with it.

VELEZ-MITCHELL: Do you think this is a stranger abduction?

SANDERS: I think I can`t comment on what I think at this point.

Diamond said no one had been ruled out as a suspect, including members of the girl’s family, who continue to cooperate with the investigation.

This is cop-speak for "we know exactly who did it, we just can't prove it yet" .:moo:


I got a fair bit of sledging for my above post.

Apparently JVM agrees with me...LE think they know what happened, and are gathering evidence for an arrest. Same with Isa I suspect.

There are so many cases out there just like this one and the national media cant begin to cover everyone of them.

Imo,some have been fooled into believing stranger abductions are rare. I havent believe that foolishness for years now. I bet we could keep searching and keep finding more and more cases where children were abducted from their own bedrooms.

Like I had mentioned earlier on Isa's thread my next door neighbor's daughter told me that her daughter was kidnapped and raped when she was a young child. After raping her she ran home. The perp gained access to the home through her bedroom window and the parents and her brother were there too and no one heard a thing until the little girl came into her parents' bedroom crying and holding her private parts with blood streaming down her little legs.

The man did not even know this family. He had seen her out playing in her yard and came back and took her. He is still in prison.

I cant believe this case isnt getting more attention here. It is like some dont even want to post about strangers possibly kidnapping, raping, and murdering small children. Sierra was murdered on the 26th and we are only on page 6 on this thread. Sad.

Society needs to wake up and stop drinking the koolaid the government tries to get them to drink.

All one has to do is start searching for such cases themselves and also read about all the attempted abductions of children by complete strangers. It is almost like an epidemic and happens almost on a daily basis somewhere in our country.

IMO

I think the reason there are only 6 pages is that we have nothing known that we can discuss. Usually a child is missing and we spend dozens of pages discussing where the child might be hidden. But this was so quick, there is nothing left to say with so little factual info.
We don't know what is on that surveillance footage. They keep saying it might be helpful, yet they also say no one is ruled out yet. Dad went to work around 7 am, but did anyone see the child safe and sound after he left that morning? So many questions unanswered.
I do NOT think the dad is a guilty party at all. Just making the point that we know NOTHING about what happened yet.

It's sad and it's scary for sure. Yesterday I was thinking about all this as I was sitting outside in our front yard with my child and a vehicle I have never seen drove down our street twice. It made start thinking about it being summer and more and more kids are playing outside and perps can just cruise down the streets and see which houses have young kids. Scary. And then to think these perps go in thru children's bedroom windows and do these horrible things. It's a sick world. How do we keep our children safe from all these monsters?

"The vigil will be held at West Jordan Elementary Friday at 8:30 p.m. Those who are organizing it say it will be an opportunity for friends, neighbors, and strangers to remember the girl, and to take a stand against the crime that took her life."

Exactly and I would just like to add I had trouble even finding this case on W/S. She was found so quickly as well as it was determined rape & murder so probably many people are just willing to leave it as a case for police. IMO there doesn't seem anything to go on for us at this point in time, but I still plan on following this story. Also, it is impossible for everyone to follow every case, so I think some people only follow local cases, US cases or just missing cases for example. Speaking for myself except for the Anthony & Stafford case, once a case is solved, I let it go but, everyone here is different. :seeya:

It's because Sierra was never missing. She would have multiple threads if she was. I think this is what JonBenet's case would be like (in terms of attention and coverage) if she didn't have those pageant videos. That's the only case I can think of where the child was never missing, and it still managed to get lots of coverage. Every other high-profile case starts off with the child missing, and the search for the child is what fuels the coverage.

Neighbors rally around family of slain 6-year-old Sierra Newbold

snipped

Sgt. Drew Sanders said, “Obviously something occurred here that resulted in someone taking her away from her home or her leaving her home, but we’re not releasing what we think that is.”

West Jordan Police Chief Doug Diamond said, “We have not ruled out anything. The parents are fully cooperative with us. They’re helping us in the investigation. At this point I don’t know who the suspects are.”

My daughter is now 20 and I was so petrified of this happening when she was born that I installed window locks and screens on all the windows - we didn't even have a proper bathroom but locks were my priority as it was the best I could do to soothe my own fears.

God can't be everywhere, thats why he invented mothers. And window locks.

We keep our kids safe by doing what you did - automatically registering a strange car - and when summer comes, you can bet you or another parent will be out there watching over them.

We have to be careful not to bring up cotton-wool kids who are scared of their own shadows. There are not monsters on every corner...I'll prove it.

Think of how many little kids are in your town/city/state.

Then times it by 10, to cover kids that were in that age in the last 10 years.

Then find the stats on how many little kids have been abducted/murdered in the last 10 years in your city/state.

Then find the stats on the perp - how many were parents/known to the child, how many were stranger abductions?

Hopefully this will calm you down somewhat as to the statistics. Our kids are much more likely to be run over and killed in their own driveways by a parent in a SUV, than abducted and murdered by a stranger.

There are opportunists (not monsters) on every street corner...but most of them, you already know. The monsters who actually do this are few and far between Thank God...and responsible parenting and simple measures will help keep them away.

It's hard to put into words what the loss of a bright-eyed, 6-year-old girl with freckles can do to her family.

One day, Sierra Newbold is dancing and dressing up in "fairy costumes" with her kid sister and the next day, she's gone.

"You don't even know hardly how to feel or think — it just upsets your whole world," Sierra's grandmother Frances Newbold said Friday.

"The first day was just so devastating... You finally dry up. You run out of tears."

-------------------------------------

Tonya Nielson walked the neighborhood streets Friday with her daughter, S***, to let residents know about a vigil that night at West Jordan Elementary School Friday at 8:30 p.m.

S*** donated her own money to help pay for the fliers and mused that "this probably isn't half of what we need" as they posted them.
