This is reassuring. Still so many volunteer searchers 3 weeks in. I’m very glad to see this update that there are still active leads and videos for investigators. This community is so dedicated to finding Elijah

Shortened for focus.

I wonder if poor Elijah wasn't "tired", but exhausted from being punished endlessly, or if Vang drugged him to keep him restrained, without actually using physical restraints. You know, quiet and out of his way. He's not good father material, that's for sure.

At 4:36 a.m. you are "disciplining" a child and texting his mother about it? What in the world?

Maybe, or he might have just sent the message saying that at 4:36am. I'm guessing the latter, and it was just part of a conversation at that time. JMO

Why would Jesse be going to the bar so late that night? To buy drugs? Meet someone who to help move Elijah on the 20th and pay them ahead of time?

How do the cops keep their cool with two adults who have lied time and time again but continue to maintain a little boy just disappeared from a locked apartment??

Professionalism.

a body in a bag has just been located in my area by an IDOT worker just of I-55 on an exit to Springfield, IL. My first thought was "how far are we from where Elijah went missing?"

I want that little sweet boy found but - just uggh. Hoping our local body is completely unrelated.

~ 6 hrs away and ~370 mi.

Exactly!! When you look at all of the money, time and people involved with the search and these two are sitting in jail knowing where Elijah is etc. Did anyone else find it odd when Katrina told Jesse to “put Elijah to sleep” instead of “put Elijah to bed “? Am I overthinking this??

~ 6 hrs away and ~370 mi.

Pretty far but not impossible. It would depend on when he died. 6 hrs could be a day trip.

 

[girlhasnoname]

I am here in spirit hoping for the best for little Elijah, bracing for the worst.

How is a 3 yo supposed to act like a man? He's just a baby boy.

This is why I can't follow closely, it triggers me so badly that I can hardly type. There is a special place in hades for these types of monsters. I absolutely believe that, along the with animal abusers and abusers of the elderly.

I think you are overthinking the use of the expression "put a child to sleep." I've heard it used by people I know and I'm sure nothing bad was meant by those particular people. I've also heard people say at a young child's naptime "I'm going to put him down" and the veterinary meaning was not intended I'm quite sure. MOO

Not Elijah- the body found in Springfield is that of a woman.

Coroner Jim Allmon said the person is a woman and her body was found in a way that is “suspicious in nature.” An autopsy has been scheduled for Thursday.

The woman’s name is being withheld from the media until her next-of-kin is notified.
