I'm BAAAAAACK! Can't believe we are on thread #7 talking about this case of sweet Beverly. As involved as I am with this board, talking or thinking about it in some form everyday, it still seems SO unreal to me that she is gone. I know that her family made it through their first holiday without her but now I'm just thinking about Christmas and what a huge VOID it will be without her. Such a huge, senseless loss for her family and our community.
My sister always says "you can't make sense out of nonsense" and boy do I agree with that one. Like pp have said, difficult to get into the mind of AL as he came up with this scheme for whatever reason he did.
My family member did tell me the same thing about AL's truck being stuck on Jax/Cato road and that wasn't too many miles from where he lived.
As difficult as it may be to process, I join the rest of you in eagerly waiting to hear "the rest of the story"...whatever it is.
I was also up late that night when locals were asked to search their property or vacant buildings for Beverly. I remember having a flicker of hope that maybe she was just somewhere waiting to be rescued. In my FB circle, we had already had so much incorrect information given, a couple of days before she was found, someone posted a condolence message on her FB page to the family. She hadn't been found yet, everyone was still out looking for her and a friend of the family had heard through the rumor mill that she had been found deceased. So, that was the first time we thought she was gone, then we had that flicker of hope that she was still out there just waiting to be rescued, then the horrible news that she had been found. Even in all that, I am grateful that she was found. I know many families never get that and I am thankful that her family was able to be given the blessing of her being found.
Just my random thoughts on this rainy morning in Arkansas....
