This is a very generous and supportive community from what we’ve witnessed so far. I remember one post (cannot find it now) about how the church has allowed searchers to use it as a command center of sorts, rehab place for searchers, picnic area for food, etc...I imagine they put out the call...

They most certainly do! Whatever tip they are going off of, it has to be something for them to put some stock into because they are not messing around. Looks like lots of people and resources set up along with the helicopter circling. Chilling to watch...Praying hard that they find this baby...

I believe I remember dad saying in one of his statements that he couldn’t be or didn’t want to be alone right now with everything going on. I can’t find the link now, however...I’ve read too much over the past few days. It’s possible he just wanted someone there to help him keep it together...

Thank goodness!! I’ve been hoping that either LE or parents would request help from Texas EquuSearch. I have a feeling that if anyone can find sweet Summer, it’s Tim Miller and his amazing team.

Yes, I believe that as long as they have parental permission, LE can interview the minor children. The children can decline, however, even if parents consent. I believe that one of the LE present at the press conference either today or yesterday said that everyone has been compliant and they...

He also said he felt that Summer would never leave the hill where her family lives. But you never can tell what kids will do. Sometimes the very thing you think they won’t do because you’ve told them 100 times not to do it and explained to them why they shouldn’t is the very thing they end up...

The wildlife would be scary enough for an adult lost and wandering through those dense woods, especially at night. I would think even an adult used to “roughing it” would have a hard time out there what with the bears, poisonous snakes, etc. On top of the animals, the area also seems to be home...

This is such a frustrating case! I’m glad that LE is finally getting involved but their overall lack of urgency is concerning. It also seems strange to me for them to announce a search that is still days away. Maybe it’s that we have so many gaps in the details surrounding the case - and the...

John Runions testimony is just heartwrenching. The way he keeps looking back at his little girl in her prom dress while he tries to talk about the impact of her death....I said last night that justice is justice even if it doesn't look how we wanted it to. But this doesn't feel like justice...

This is unbelievably emotional testimony that came from Kara and Jessica's families. Their parents especially have shown so much strength to be able to walk into a courtroom where the man who murdered their daughters sits and bravely give their testimony in the midst of so much sadness and...

It makes my stomach turn to think that he could receive the minimum sentence for both girls.

It definitely could be worse. He got away with Kara's murder for ten years and he genuinely thought he could get away with Jessica's as well. Thank God the jury found him guilty. This day has been a long time coming. Justice may not look like what we hoped it would, but it's still justice...

Appears that the sentence for 2nd degree murder is between 10-30 years or life in prison without the possibility of parole: https://www.howardhaake.com/post/missouri-first-and-second-degree-murder Missouri Second-Degree Murder

"Umm...I'm sorry." That's the best that the fool could muster up after claiming his dead brother is a serial killer who murdered his girlfriends. He's more concerned with being accused of peeing his pants than he is with accusations of murder, or that two women he supposedly loved are gone...

I noticed that, as well. It’s important but in the big scheme of things, I don’t know that it will make that big of a difference in the jury’s decision-making process. That phone call he had with his mother combined with the FBI tape and the testimony from all of his former friends and abused...
