Your child is gone....you are actively searching.....praying and hoping....
Would you say, "We are a strong family and we will get through this"

Even IF you get through it, you will NEVER get over it. But what does that have to do with things at this point?

My heart screams, "Where is my little girl? Please, if you have her, let her go. Just let her go. I don't know if she's cold or hungry...or if she's hurt somewhere. Without my baby, my life is over...so please, please let her come home to me."

This article says cousin, not friend. Was it her cousin or friend that she walked to school with? Were they in the same class?

OT: This whole discussion about her walking to school... scares the bejeezus about of me, b/c next year, my son will be 10 and within walking distance to school (different school this year - we drive him). A 10-yr-old is plenty old enough to walk to school, but as we know, it doesn't mean it's safe to do so these days. :cry:

BBM: I have never read anything about communications between the kids in the MSM....do have a link because I've missed some important info? Is this scanner info bubbling to the top? Again?

Exactly, and the "teenager" part is what struck me the most. That and the alarm clock, which just seemed as if she may have trusted Jessica to get herself ready and fed and out the door by herself. And, coming from a mom of twin boys, a granola bar for breakfast? Maybe it's because I didn't have girls, but my guys wouldn't leave the house without two bowls of cereal and maybe a poptart, too.

I want to stress that I DO NOT think that Mom is involved in Jessica's disappearance, but I do think that there is more to the story of that morning than she is telling. And if I'm right, omg the guilt she must be feeling

IMO

Normally a five mile radius in the primary search. In the Holly Bobo (TN) abduction 04/13/2011, it was seven days later before a roadblock was iniated..
She is still missing without a clue...

Unfortunately that's not true. When you factor in attempted abductions, it happens a lot:

Google search for "child abducted bus stop"

On NG, now.

Well, actually, the show went to a commercial, but NG will be back to misinform (...oopw, I mean inform) in a minute or so.

The raw interview with the mother does NOT say cousin.

I diagree, how many children have been let go cause their parent cried, begged and said their life would be over without their baby? The abductor could care less about you, they most likely have a mental disorder, and you can actually be feeding into their mental disorder, with all of that.

And all the we this family said, I can see that to. Very close with my immediate family, have a single daughter, who lives in my home, with her children. Our message would be exactly what they said. My 8 year old grandson would get the message " we are staying strong, you stay strong to and we will all be here dealing with this when you come home".

I've worked in the mental health field for 30 years, so my take is different dealing with someone who so obviously has a mental disorder.

When all is said and done though, it would not shock me if someone in the immediate family did something, but just showing a different view of it.

If Jessica routinely ate breakfast at school the granola bar may have been to tide her over until she got to school. I don't understand the teenager part at all, but she might just be nervous and talking to fill the silence.

But is it her cousin? We have seen it both ways, if it is her cousin and mom is not saying it, then why isn't she referring to him as cousin?

Here is the quote:


Sarah described a conversation she had with Jessica about taking a recently-introduced bus service to school this year. Instead, Sarah said, Jessica made a plan with her older cousin Jeremy to walk to school every day.


From this article: http://kdvr.com/2012/10/09/family-of-jessica-ridgeway-makes-first-public-statement/

I can't watch the vid, is that quote from that vid but with the "cousin" added by the journalist?

My question is, if the boy who walked to school with her is her older cousin, as stated in the article then is his dad Sarah's brother? If it is not her older cousin, then what made Sarah feel safe sending Jessica to school with this older boy everyday? Or is the entire article wrong and the boy a fellow 10 y/o in her class whom she knew from school?

Hope all this makes sense.
