is owner/operator:banghead:

oiy darn! It just couldn't be easy lol.

Do you know if this person has been interviewed by the LE/FBI? or even if there is a strong likelihood they would of been?

 

[cc81]

does anyone in the family know what the trucker hauls normally? Flatbed, reefer (refrigerator) dump, van, car topper, tanker, etc?

How strong of a possibility, does the family feel, that the trucker could be involved?

Until someone besides LL tells me that 9/24 was the day she went missing I'm not sure if we should believe it?

How long did RL work for the resort?
How long have RL and LL been together?
Where were RL and LL when the two women vanished?

 

[CJMAJORGIRL24]

Does this trucker go to Ohio or Florida in his travels?

ditto! Also, if Aliayah was actually staying somewhere, that needs to be confirmed by LE and if a sibling actually saw Aliayah that morning, too! Otherwise, maybe it was just a ploy so the kids wouldn't question why Aliayah wasn't there for that previous night!!

Can you remind me why those two areas keep sticking out to you?

 

[TheDuchess]

Housekeeping questions that have probably been answered but:

How is Aliayah's name pronounced? Is it jus ah lee ah?

Is there any relation to the other Lunsford family?

When is Aliayah's birthday?

Did Aliayah go to school or daycare?

Has Aliayah's biological father been located or spoken out?

Does anyone suspect that the impending arrival of the twins is related to Aliayah's disappearance?
Did anyone ever notice Ralph treating Aliayah any different than his biological children? What about Lenas oldest son from a previous relationship?

Have the other 2 missing women been identified? Was Ralph ever suspected in their disappearance?

Thanks!

I believe that LL or RL have connections to both of these states. I also believe (ohio) at least is a connector in the 2 missing wv women. **wish i could say more --but i can't right now

but isn't the owner/operator of GPS!
GPS would have tracked him/her.....especially a cell phone.

don't truck drivers have to keep logs of their mileage? and where they've been.

As far as her possibly wandering down to the river and falling in, didn't the FBI say that they had ruled out just such a scenario? That this was a case of homicide, abduction, or concealment? Or something like that. Correct me if I'm wrong.

They did rule it out. If I remember correctly, they said the river is about 100 yards from the home but you have to go through pretty thick brush to get there directly--much more so than they thought a child of that age would deal with. The mother also said she'd never been to the river before, they hadn't been in the home but like 2 months at the time.

Here's one transcript that discusses the brush. I could have sworn other articles made it sound worse though:

ELLIE JOSTAD, NANCY GRACE PRODUCER: Right. Right. That`s right. The K-9s were brought in. They did find her scent. They were able to track it directly from the house to the river, which is only about 40 or so yards away. They say she would have had to walk around some brush to get to the river, but it`s still less than 100-yard walk.

However, once they got to that river, that`s where the trail goes cold. They had divers searching for her. No sign of the girl in the river. So they`ve turned the search elsewhere, as well as keeping an eye on that river.

At this point, I don't think we should rely on anything that the mother has said so far as being truth.
But I do agree with you. LE has a reason to say they don't believe she was in the river. and I don't think it is because Lena said so.

Thanks!

Reports are that the bio dad doesn't know Aliayah is his.

The two other missing women are possibly relatives of Ralph's--Marcus Maxine Stalnaker and Mary Geneva Friend. Allegedly Maxine is his grandmother and Mary is her daughter. But someone posted on FB (seems to have been removed or I can't access it for some reason) that they are actually NOT related to Ralph.

At any rate, Mary's son seemed to be the main POI. He lied and said he wasn't near there that day but it turns out he skipped work that afternoon and got a ride to the vicinity. Ralph never seemed to be a suspect from what I gathered.

Oh, I totally agree. And my immediate first thought was maybe one of the kids took her down there sometime and mom didn't know. So I'd be curious if the trail the dog found went through the brush or not.

I only added that part because, hypothetically, if you did something with the child that involved the river and the dogs hit near the river, you wouldn't make the point of saying she'd never been there. You'd probably say the opposite to explain away the trail.

On the other hand, the mom seemed to be theorizing at that time that a RSO had lain in wait in the river to snatch the child--which seemed ludicrous to me. As if he knew he'd have an opportunity to sneak into a house after daylight with five kids and one adult and take one. So maybe she was just trying to bolster her theory.

Still, any person with half a brain trying to cover up would say, yes, the child had been to the river and come up with a better theory. But that may be expecting too much here. JMO

Lena took her older children on the 2 hour ride under the premise that Aliayah was missing and they were going to look for her. As far as the kids were concerned Aliayah was already missing when Lena put them in the car.

WHAT?! Sorry, that's the first I heard that! That makes zero sense to me. What if Aliayah wandered home while they were gone? Or was in someone's backyard or some place else you wouldn't see by car? I would have left one at least back at the house and (depending on their age) had them searching by foot near the house.

Also, a neighbor said he was outside that AM and claims that Lena never asked if he saw the girl.

The two other missing women are relatives of Ralph's--I want to say an aunt and cousin. I read a couple threads and stories about this and it seems the older woman's son (Ralph's cousin) is the main POI. He lied and said he wasn't near there that day but it turns out he skipped work that afternoon and got a ride to the vicinity. Ralph never seemed to be a POI from what I gathered.

I've read or heard that the bio dad has been informed. I will have to research, but if you can back up the bio dad not knowing, I would appreciate it!

Also, I have not seen it confirmed that RL is related to the other 2 missing women. Has that been confirmed in the media and maybe I missed it? I've heard conflicting stories on this, from family of the women saying no and those who have searched family lineage, saying yes.

true there are GPS' in phones, but they are only good if the a phone is powered on. If trucker turned phone off, he could of gone anywhere!!
Also, check my previous messages, I did a write up on logs.

I've updated my post about the women because I saw the FB item in a Google search, though I'll be darned if it will come up for me on FB. There's a thread here though that I could swear listed an obit with Ralph as the grandson.

Here's the snippet on the bio dad, but I realized it's from the 911 call. He may have been informed since then.


"Her father is a guy named Eric Harris. He doesn't even know she exists," Lena answers.

I don't think we can list FB as a fact based website.. I'll help look for the obit. I know I read it, but that's been a while.

Yes I remember an Eric Harris being named in the 911 call.. When I first heard it, I immediately thought of the EH from the Columbine shooting.

Vickie-
