[jvk]

Just got back.

No pictures today, i suppose i should have.

Fairly long day. Did 2 searches.

 

[TakeNote]

did the search go well? jvk

 

[eyes4crime]

I haven't read the threads, I will. I just wanted to report in.

I wish I could share information but I've been asked not to say anything about the searches themselves.

I can tell you that I met the woman who "broke up the fight" between Josh and Lindsey. And lets just say that the media, once again left out a lot of information and got even more incorrect.

I spent a lot of time today (I was there 10 + hours so I had a lot of time to visit between briefings, mapping and debriefing. lol) with KK and MB. I even got to spend a little bit of time with Josh. It is confirmed that he does have Aspergers. I got to meet Kadence. What a neat dog.

Anyway, I feel good about things that were found today. I hadn't read the report of JVK/Cyberswepts search (I was debriefed out so I passed that on to Breanna or maybe it was Dawn.. to do. lol). I'll read the report tomorrow.. sounds interesting.

It's been a long exhausting day and I will be back there tomorrow morning (it's my 41st birthday.. I would like presents (Dell mini laptop please) and a cake (or as Sandy said a muffin) at 8 am to do it again.

There is so much more I want to say but I can not think straight. I need a long soak in the tub. And a couple of beers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER!!!!! :balloons: :cake4u: artyguy: :cautionDrunk: don't have too many beers Jen!!! thanks for the input. Was there enough food? tia

Jen, you really really need to share, here, have a few...

Okay, now, what do you know that we don't? :clap:

More on the fight between JB and others...please, please.

1000 flyers asking for more volunteers to come search for Lindsey are going out this weekend on top of pizza box's!

I contacted Bob at the LRC center who put me in contact with Sandy to see what I could do to help this weekend......I wanted to go search by foot but couldn't make it today ....I don't know about the rest of the weekend.....we are still trying......there were about 60 searchers today....but they need at least 300...

Bob mentioned that they had in the past made up flyers and had local pizza places stick them on the top of the pizza box's......a light bulb went off in my head.....hubby was able with permission from Sandy to use part of Lindsey's Missing flyer and cut and paste the info about the search going on this weekend....he then made a great flyer.....i went and had them printed *with a discount from the printers* and took them to the pizza place........

im happy to say that they are being delivered to families homes as im typing

I will post a pic of the flyer as soon as I can ......if my computer will cooperates

i was told by Sandy that the search is still going on sat and sun......

forgot to add....the flyers are going out in olympia

Seems like you might get a good result posting those at Evergreen State College. Those kids love to hike and most are familiar with the woods around there.

 

[jvk]

Part of the reason i didn't take any pictures is because we're not supposed to discuss things. Which pretty much = no posting pictures online. I could have taken pictures @ the 'command post' i suppose.

BTW Michelle was a great companion today.

Thank you, wsers, for giving your time so generously to search for Lindsay today.
God Bless each one of you.:blowkiss:

 

[breanna]

LOL Jen. Only a couple beers? It was a long day. Got to meet Cyber and his beautiful wife, JVK, MikeB. What a bunch of nice people. Really the nicest group of people.

Yes Jen did let me debrief JVK's group but I can't talk about that LOL.

There was a low turnout but I'm hoping tomorrow will be better. Some of the people did go out multiple times, like JVK and MikeB, and Cyber's group was out all day searching thoroughly.

Lot's of food, plenty actually for today. It was cool to see the sandwiches delivered with a big printed note on top....courtesy of Websleuths :clap:

Sandy at LRC said there will be 4 more delivered tomorrow and somebody also contacted her about pizza's. I'm stopping to get donuts in the morning on my way there.

I'll get a special one for Jennifer. Happy Birthday tomorrow dear girl! And cheers! :blowkiss:

Anyway, can't say much more than everyone else has said.

I was just happy to help and I'm glad I met some of you!

 

[Normcar21]

Thanks for all of your amazing hard work in the search all of you!

More on the fight between JB and others...please, please.

LOL

Thanks norm!

the "fight" was nothing more than a couple of kids arguing.. The woman who "broke it up" was asked by Lindsey to tell Josh to stop. LB and MK took off before anything could be said to anyone.. so the woman told JB that it was probably best that he just went home. Leave the girls alone.
She sent a text to MB telling her what was going on and MB agreed that JB should just come home.
JB went home. LB and MK went to MKs house. Later this woman (and no, I won't share her name) saw Lindsey on her walk home.

Thanks WSers for all of your hard work, thoughts, prayers and support for Lindsey and her family. It is wonderful working and meeting some of the WSer's that are local. Sorry I haven't had more time to sit and really talk with some of you.

If some of you have areas that you are interested in having us search, send them to me at my email [email protected] ...especially if you've been looking through MikeB's photos (I wish I had more time to do that, MIke was nice enough to bring me some printed photos and I feel like a heel for not spending more time talking with him). Thanks Mike!

As you know, we can't speak of areas we search, areas we plan to search, or things that are found.

Thanks again for the wonderful support and keep those prayers coming!!!!!

 

[Normcar21]

Thanks Jen, I have officially put any JB thing to rest, it doesn't surprise me that was the case, great to have your statement on that, no more hearsay.

Happy birthday, by the way...

 

[Normcar21]

Wow, pretty amazing you locals! Doesn't get much more impressive than this. I am humbled by your great work tonight with Mr. Dennis actually leaving a comment and thank you.

WOW!!

 

[JenniferO]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER!!!!! :balloons: :cake4u: artyguy: :cautionDrunk: don't have too many beers Jen!!! thanks for the input. Was there enough food? tia

Thank you eyes,

Nope, no beer actually. I joke about it but I'm not a drinker.. I did that in my 20's.

And there was plenty of food. To much actually. We need to remedy that by having MORE searchers tomorrow.

Again Thank YOU for everything you have done from your end.

WOW!!

I can't even put into words how amazing it has been working with Brad, Dawn, Sandy, Carrie (Amber Dubois' mother) and Linda (Ambers aunt-I think that was her name. Please excuse me if I got that incorrect) and Marc.

I don't think any of them have ever met a stranger. They make everyone feel so comfortable. They all seem like "old friends" to me.
I'm going to miss them when the leave.

I'll second that Jennifer. Truly amazing group of people. But I feel the same way about all of you that I met.

Seems like we're all old friends already. Just a group of people coming together to help find this little girl and we all care. And that's exactly what Lindsey needs.

See you tomorrow!

 

[Salem]

You guys are so AWESOME!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Jennifer! For your Birthday Present - I pray Lindsey comes home!

I'm also praying for lots of searchers tomorrow, Saturday. Hopefully you will have lots of folks that will come by for at least one 2-hour search.

May the Angels be with you all and especially with Lindsey, lighting her way home!

Salem

Sending out prayers for Lindsey and all the searchers working so hard. Godspeed with your efforts on this day.
