Hello Lonetraveler,
God bless you. I've done the same thing and I can tell you, the very heart that causes you to follow these cases to start with is the very heart that won't allow you to totally walk away. I know because I've said the same thing myself and yet eventually end up involved--if only from the outside--in yet another case. Much as it hurts... there always seems to be another one.
I can't post a lot but check in daily for any news. While I believe our little girl is no longer on this earth I really did think her little body would have been found sooner than this. I believe "mommy" is the key and it's frustrating to know that LE has to tread so lightly with her at the moment but I understand why it's necessary. If I'm wrong I will apologize but for now I don't buy her story and I think she could end this whole thing by simply telling the truth about what happened to this baby girl. Again... I've been wrong before and if I am I apologize.
Please don't give up. I've learned from past experience that sometimes our love and prayers are all these little ones have. Seriously.
If I am out of line to speak so openly to a stranger in cyberspace, please forgive me. I don't mean to be rude. I just sympathize with what you are saying and felt the need to respond.
Kelly
