Let's try to keep Delano's name on the front page. I hope an update comes soon.
 
Is the baby's length correct? It seems that most newborns are 18 - 22 inches long (in my experience anyhow). Was baby a preemie or has the 16" been explained in some way?

Details of the abduction seem strange too.

Hoping they find this little guy soon. Hoping the people are recognized by the descriptions given. Green hoop earrings don't seem to be a common accessory.
 
I think the length is in the normal range, and newborn measurements are often incorrect anyway because babies like to be curled up. I intentionally requested that my baby be re-measured on her second day, there was a 2" difference, lol.

Don't even get me started on those "details"? Pfft!

I don't think his measurement is correct for a six week old, no. Just like Haiwayi wasn't only 36" tall.
 
<Mod Snip>
Anyway, believe or not I actually would prefer that this baby was abducted by a couple. At least that would give me a great deal of hope that he was still alive and being cared for. Whenever I read these stories (at it seems to happen a lot), I always wish that for once it was true and that an infant really was abducted, because I always think that unlike abductions of older children and adults, that a person who abducts an infant probably just wants a baby, and not someone to rape and murder.

I has come up a few times in these abducted baby/toddler cases that the parents were seemingly out of it when it came to describing their child; sort of like they had not paid too much attention in the first place. Just my observation.

I looked up an average height and weight for babies at one month old; this is what I found:

http://www.babycenter.com/0_your-childs-size-and-growth-timeline_10357633.bc

Birth: (boy) 19.1 - 20.1 inches for height

3 mos old: (boy) 23.6 - 24.7 inches height

Weight is on the lower side of the scale also, so might have been a preemie. I think the measurements are off also.
 
I'm telling you guys, I think it is time we gather a WS posse and head to IN!!
 
This is completely off topic but I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. In the early 70's (possibly late 60's) a little girl named Heidi was playing in the front yard with her younger brother, then disappeared. I don't know her last name or if it was local (greater Seattle/Puget Sound area) or somewhere else, I just remember all the adults talking about Heidi, and being a bit more restrictive with where they let us kids play.

Does that ring any bells with anyone? It's bothered me for 40 years that I never knew who she was or if the case was ever resolved :(

I believe this is the case you're talking about, OM:

http://news.google.com/newspapers?n...qwzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=GqoFAAAAIBAJ&pg=5164,2430184

Four-year-old Heidi Peterson's little body was found in Jan. 1975, 11 months after she disappeared, in an area previously searched "thoroughly" several times.
