Is a slipway the same thing as a boat launch?

Holy crap, that's expensive!

Some do still think that Truscott did it. Mark Mcclish does an interesting statement analysis: http://www.statementanalysis.com/truscott/ I seem to remember at least one more prominent person on the guilty side, but I can't recall who at the moment.

Mom isn't answering questions, as per CrimeOnline: http://www.crimeonline.com/2017/03/24/missing-robert-bee-jr-exclusive-update-mom-wont-answer-questions-about-missing-teen/

Texas makes it as difficult as possible to get an abortion.

I read the mom's quote a bit differently - not that she was particularly reluctant to let them go, but just that she was not the one who wanted them to go. There doesn't seem to be any reason she would have been reluctant to allow it; from what I've read, they don't mention anything the girls...

Thanks for the link. Interesting story, but I do think it most likely that that the inexperienced hiker died on the mountain. The linked article quotes his letter, and it speaks more to economic anxiety than to 'wanting' to be a hobo as mentioned in a previous post: “And so I stare face...

iirc, he took children out of school completely, which is beyond odd. It is beyond belief the things he got away with that violated good sense and good rules. Layers upon layers of people not stopping him (parents, teachers, work, his own organization). Even if you take a generous approach...

I would assume they were fishing, swimming, or hiking instead of boating, perhaps mostly just hanging around. The reservoir is part of a state park, and the (current) web site lists picnic pavilions, beach access, swimming, and hiking as some of the amenities. So, I don't think it would be...

She has a skin discoloration on her left arm OR her left leg? As in, no one quite remembered where it was? That seems odd.

On the Alaska's Missing Facebook page, they say he told his sister as he left the house that he was going to play on the beach, meaning a sandy area near their house. That makes more sense to me than him being on foot 11 miles away from home and headed to a friend's house. Maybe they mixed up...

The grandmother was actually working at the mall; she did not accompany them to Target and such, they met up with her at the store she was working at while they were searching.

Not at all unlikely. dh and I had a computer then, it was bought at Office Depot, not a computer shop, and there were plenty of message boards and games available. Compuserve's command line bulletin boards started way back to 1979, then the more user-friendly versions from Prodigy and AOL came...

Why are you excluding a form of addiction when stating the rate of addiction? That makes no sense to me.

They can be, yes.

It's definitely imperfect justice, but, to an extent, I can relate and sympathize with the driver. It was an accident, he was very young, and he did not know until later that it a little girl he hit rather than an animal (and I do think that's plausible, as a direct witness thought it was a...

Neither of the articles I read said that they could not swim; plenty of able swimmers drown. My guess is that they were all in the water, near each other, when one of them got into trouble (most likely holding the toddler). When someone goes under, it is pure instinct to grab for them...

Obligatory link to the famed Fatal Distraction article below. Some experts theorize that it is not forgetting, but 'misremembering,' - that is, in your mind, the baby is safe at daycare, so even if you think of him or talk about him during the day, you don't suddenly remember he is in the car...

Well, I don't think any jogging trails are well used at 3 in the morning!

I think the uncle may have meant to say 'it wasn't that he did not feel pain from the burns, but he is autistic and was perhaps not complaining verbally.' Many children with autism do have a very high tolerance for physical pain, and do not complain or cry on the level of a neurotypical kid...
