FANTASTIC NEWS!!! I hope they get this guy the help he needs.

Funny how everybody focuses on something different. I was thinking myself about how I hope the young lady would get support vs. her abductor.

The pair was spotted together late Monday night when they approached Lynch's mom's home in Montpelier and knocked on the door.

When L H answered and told them they were wanted, the man and girl ran into the woods.

Agree. "If" the reason I suspect he was kicked out of the home and ran off with IH there is no help for him IMO. Prison sounds good to me. Professional help for IH much needed. Lord knows what she has been subjected to prior and during time with him.

What, the lady was his mom??

Thank you! I have been a long time reader for many cases, but had to chime in for the acronym I came up with lol...I don't believe that's what it actually represents, but felt I had to add it to the list of contenders lol.

And yes, I've been a websleuth silent creeper since Delphi and enjoy this forum as a one stop shop so to speak on the most up to date information about currently cases. I also LOVE that there isn't the redundant comments like there is on Facebook. Same questions, same repetitive responses and spoon fed information. It gets old after so long.

So anyways, I look forward to contributing in any way I can...most often I'm the middle man and see both sides to every story, which can be frustrating at times, but helpful in terms of communication between differing viewpoints.

Lastly, most importantly, I am a smartass, albeit a respectful one, and find that laughter is always helpful clear people's minds a bit.

P.s. Forewarning, I ramble. I'm working on it. Lol

So happy you joined us and just in time for the BIG CELEBRATION!!!

Thank you so much for the link! I had a strong suspicion of a family connection from sleuthing but couldn’t post anything as it was obviously unconfirmed. Interesting to say the least.

ETA: it hurts my heart the position he put his mother in, but she is truly a hero. I know for sure my momma wouldn’t ever cover for me but I’d never expect her to either.

I knew it !!! My gut said it was his mom. And of course I have no link for my gut

It must have been hard for her to turn in her son, but she did the right thing with no hesitation. I am impressed.

What an awful position to put your mom in. Imo

 

[Bravo]

Good for Mom. She did do the right thing and likely was tough for her. Then again maybe not. IMO

@HayLouise and @Gardener1850 we r missing you here

Totally agree...wow SMH As a mom of 4 kiddos, she’s got my respect. MOO

 

[Bravo]

Pure speculation on my part but suicidal people don't typically grab a 14 yr. old and live in the woods etc. I cant help but wonder if he is the type to use it as a threat if he doesn't get his way. Especially given the Mom had just kicked him out recently. Again just ponderings rolling around in my head and gut.

OH no, I would have done the same thing...after they had a hot meal and a long lecture. That's what mom's do.

She may have saved both their lives.

After today's presser, thought the whole "we ain't looking in this area" was a rue, giving them a chance to feel safe to travel. Then when LE said, if there is a reason we can help you, I knew then it was the moms house and a message to BL.

This mom gave her son a choice when he showed up with the girl he’s accused of abducting

"I told them they can't be here - they're wanted," Harper said. "I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it. My eyes got real wide and I told him he has an ultimatum. Either turn himself in or I'm calling the police."
