What is a Verified Insider?
A "verified insider" (VI) is an individual withfirst-hand knowledge of the facts of a case (or some portion of the facts). AVI can be a family member, friend, classmate, employer, private investigator, or anyone else acquainted with a victim or suspect. Being "verified"means that an admin or owner has confirmed the member's identity andrelationship to a case. (Not everyone who claims to be an insider makes it through the verification process.) VIs may post what they know or opine without providing MSM links to back up “facts”. Other members may assign whatever weight they deem appropriate to those posts, using their best judgment and giving it as much weight as they think it is worth.

Accordingly, here is the link to the verification processfor anyone who has inside knowledge of the case and wishes to become a VI:

I know which one you are talking about but I can only find it in videos, not anywhere that I can copy. Here it is at the start of a CNN video:

Foul play suspected in mom’s disappearance a day before Harvey

Authorities suspect that foul play is involved in the case of a Houston mom who went missing just a day before Hurricane Harvey wreaked havoc in the area.

Crystal McDowell, 37, went missing after she left her boyfriend’s apartment Aug. 25 to pick up her two young kids from her ex-husband, ABC News reported.

"I hate to use the term presumed dead because there are two children, so I hope that we find her alive and well," Chambers County Sheriff Brian Hawthorne said Wednesday. "But I don't feel real confident about it."

McDowell vanished on Aug. 25, after telling her boyfriend she was headed to her ex-husband's house near Mont Belvieu to pick up her children, ages 8 and 5. When her family didn't hear from her, they called authorities the following day to report her missing.


"It's my belief as the sheriff that there was foul play," he said. "I think that she would have surfaced because she has two lovely children and she seemed be falling for another man - and I feel she would have surfaced."

Her effusive Facebook posts in the days before her disappearance don't hint at any problems.

"I've never been happier in my whole life than I am right now," she wrote two days before she vanished. "God is so good."

The green writing on the shirt looks like it says "...press" something? Express? Empress? Cypress?
Second partial word is possibly "...ores" OR "...opes"? I have no clue, lol. Any locals know where this place is?
 
Does Express Jet use shirts like this?? Maybe it was a former co-worker.

Someone asked earlier why the family wasn't talking. Didn't the cousin agree to come on to the WS podcast and then was discouraged by LE and asked not to talk to reporters?

Yes and I find it odd that BF wasn't told the same thing. Or was he?

I've seen the entire photo and I think the guy is a builder.
 
Could she possibly have mainly a business relationship with PH? She met him early August at his shop .... do we know why she was there in the first place?

Maybe she was getting back together with the ex and that is why she was so happy.

I pray she is alive somewhere and just not able to contact her family for some reason. Her girls need her. She has so much life in her; and seems like such a difference maker. We need her back.
 
BF is going to be on WS radio?

Not that I know of. My point was that if LE told the family to shush, why wouldn't they tell BF the same thing? Maybe they want him talking for some reason.

Apparently she went into the store to get something made or repaired, something of that nature. I suppose it could be a business relationship but she spent the night at his house. So that makes it a bit weird.

I might be wrong but I think she has a son and a daughter.
