Ugh, I really thought this would have been the big break.

Still, I think the whole weird snow globe incident from the stepfather is a good indicator that the stepfather knows something, most likely everything about Ricky's disappearance.

I remember when he went missing like it was yesterday. I think this was close to the interstate. They never found the dog either IIRC. I think its possible someone snatched him from there. I sure wish something would happen in this case.
