I just want to thank all of you awesome people who have discussed this horrible tragedy from the beginning. I’ve followed along since the beginning and am amazed by all of you and your knowledge and ability to deal with all this in such a rational way. I live in Springfield and except for news coverage, there are really not many people talking about it around here. In fact, there are many people that are unaware of it until I’ve mentioned it. That in itself is very sad. Everyone should be outraged and be demanding more be done to find her. Maybe people feel powerless or maybe there’s so much violence in the world people are becoming desensitized to it. I can only speak for me and I am forever changed by this tragedy. I have a young adult Filipino niece who is now out in the world on her own. She moved to San Francisco about the time this happened. I think that’s partly why it got my full attention when it happened. Also though, it made me so ashamed of this state and country that she wasn’t protected better. The entire supposed search, investigation, assumption of her death, the unbelievably horrible quality of those recordings with TB, the trial and prosecution has all been a huge fiasco and is a real eye opener to how truly inadequate and out of date or legal system truly is. I haven’t spoke on here since the beginning, once I realized you all really know what your talking about on here and it wasn’t just another place to express your feelings and anger. Physically I’m not able to search, but I can spread awareness and have and will continue to until Yingying is found and her wonderful family can have atleast that amount of peace and closure. I watched the news conference yesterday on WCIA and like you all I’m extremely concerned for her mother. I honestly feel this is going to destroy her permanently if something isn’t done immediately. I don’t know how you all feel about this idea, but I’ve written twice now to Dr. Phil. I haven’t heard anything back and don’t expect to, but he hasn’t talked about it on his show yet either. Maybe if everyone pleads with him he will pay attention and jump in. He has endless resources possibly and I feel it’s worth a try. Anything is to save Yingying’s mother’s mind and quite possibly her life. Again, thank you to all of you for all that you do and I’m grateful for getting to atleast follow along.
What an utterly brilliant post!
I've seen your name ticking off posts as you read them all along.
You are really welcome and thanks for giving us a lesson on humanity.
Well done you writing Doc Phil...
It is a positive action, better than apathy....
This is a really difficult time for everyone following the case, it ended with too many unanswered questions and an unsatisfactory outcome..
I'm thinking to move away now, there is little to be done... I feel empty drained and cheated by the entire case which has left more victims- the Zhang family.
I'm not great on post trial post mortems..
I feel like screaming. Railing against the injustice of it all.
He has no incentive now to disclose the location of her remains.
Mrs Zhang cannot move forward, I fear for her survival.
Thanks again for writing such a thoughtful post, you are more than welcome.
I don't know whether we can continue to keep open with the case closed... the only point would be to try to locate her remains and only a few people are interested in making that effort...
Doc Phil would certainly have the resources and I think everything published is referenced here on these threads... I think we got it all...
