I've seen no news reports on Aveion today. Very quiet here too. Locals, anything going on?

I hope this little guys story isn't falling by the wayside. :(
 
Hey Cubby - no news here to report as far as from a news report.

However I can tell you I did drive over to Jamestown today to see what, if anything, was going on. There were no searches being conducted at the river (will post pics shortly and you'll see why). As of 5:00 this afternoon the Roanoke River was still rising.

I tried to take a lot of pics...but unfortunately driving and picture taking do not go hand in hand. Maybe tomorrow I can get someone to go with me. I have a great fear of rushing water...and couldn't bring myself to get out of my vehicle and walk...sorry!

ETA: IF Aveion was in that river he will more than likely never be found now. Flood stage was 11 Feet and I understand it to be over 11 feet now.
 
Prayers that if Aveion is in that river, it lifts him up and sets him on dry ground.

TY MBL. I will be awaiting pics. Please stay safe, don't go too close to anywhere you might put yourself in danger. Especially with swift fast moving water.
 
Pics are now posted in my album. All are welcome to view. Hopefully tomorrow the river will have receeded some and you all can get a better visual of how it looks getting back to normal. If we would have had another inch of rain that water would more than likely have been in the street or at street level there near Jamestown Place.
 
No news today? I was so hoping to have positive results on the search for his little body.
Do we still not know who actually saw Aveion walking and breathing other than the family? I have seen very little media play here. Now with then Haleigh Cummings case back in the news, NG spent a lot of time on that.
Maybe tomorrow!:angel:
 
I feel sure why Riverland Rd was blocked off last night and lit up with the big search lights was to get as much searching in knowing what was coming with the rain. I think LE was trying to make the most of their time.

Our local news has been filled with the mass shootings in Appomattox, VA and the funerals for those folks and then of course the flood.
 
Hi everybody, I've been trying to post on here all night but had a lot of paperwork to do here at work. Do any of you remember the game we used to play (don't remember the name, maybe "I SPY") where you would look at an object and a person would try to find out what object you picked and you would tell then" you're getting warmer" as they got closer to the object, or you'd say "you're getting colder" when they would get too far away? I wonder if BL is sitting in jail, knowing where Aveion's precious little body is and BL is hearing where they are searching and he's thinking..."you're getting colder", knowing all the time that they are wasting time and energy looking in the wrong places? My mom said something today that I had thought of, too...could it be possible that BL sold Aveion to pay off a drug debt? Drug dealers and users do a lot of crazy things to either sell drugs or pay for drugs. Just wondering...
 
Could be playing that game beach. Casey Anthony did it when the search was on for Caylee. Her lack of concern when the searchers were in areas she knew they would not find Caylee. She sure did react when her remains were found - yet before they were positively id'd because she knew where she left the child.

I hope LE is making sure BL knows of the area's they are searching and watch his reactions.
 
Thank you for the pictures MBL. They sure give a better feeling for the area. The river didn't look that wide from the google maps, even zooming in. I hope the water recedes tomorrow and searchers can get back out there safely.

The link to your album isn't working for me...

I found these pics of the flood back in '04 (remnants of hurricane jeanne).

(That last one was of "victory stadium"... only the top of the stadium poking out above the flood waters)

Needless to say, people around here get a tad jumpy when there's a forecast for a flood watch/warning.
 
I am so glad that they have finally decided to search there. Praying that it wont be long now before Aveion is found.

Search for Aveion has moved to the Smith Gap landfill in Roanoke Co.

We've been speculating for days this is where they should be searching...

I know that they have always at least considered the possibility that he could be there; remember early reports from when he first disappeared stated that people were seen in the Food Lion parking lot? As for why they've focused so much on the river, I'm not sure. Maybe because the landfill wasn't going anywhere, but if he was in the river, they had to search that immediately or his body could be carried anywhere...I know that they "marked off" the area of the landfill where the trash from that area went and no new trash has been dumped there since, so hopefully if he's there, they'll find him.

So sad and frustrating that SOMEONE knows where he is and wont talk...
 
I wonder if the dumpster for the Food Lion is visible from the back of Aveion's "home"?

(I use home as a loose term.. this was clearly not a safe place to lay his head at night..) My prayers and thoughts are with this little boy and I hope he is brought back to people who LOVE him soon...) :rose:
 
Happy Birthday, baby. Here's hoping the swings are higher and faster in heaven and you now know peace.
