And I believe that according to TOS we are now allowed to sleuth mom.

Yes, you may sleuth her.

Yes, you may sleuth her.

Thanks for verifying!

Police announced Friday they're using a new investigative technique in their search.

Roanoke City Police Chief Tim Jones said they're partnering with a forensic expert with the University of Tennessee.

10 news asked Jones if evidence found using his technique would be admissible in court.

"The technology is so new we may be new here. If the location of Arieanna's remains come about by the use of his technology, which we won't know about for sometime," said Jones.

I'd love to know what the new investigative technique is!

Also from the link:
The message from police Friday is that they are still desperately searching forArieanna Day, and they kept reiterating that her parents were the last ones to see her Alive and remain the main suspects.

I wondered if the new technique would have something to do with a new type of ground penetrating to locate bodies?

I wondered if the new technique would have something to do with a new type of ground penetrating to locate bodies?

I found this:

On October 13, Jones said the investigation team used the servies of a forensic anthropologist from the University of Tennessee, Dr. Arpad Vass. Vass, he said, is part of the university's Law Enforcement Innovation Center for Public Service.

Jones said they are using Vass' new DNA technology to try to find Arieanna's remains, calling it "like a bloodhound on steroids." he chief said his team did find "samples" in the field that were sent to forensic labs, but would not disclose the types of items found.

When pressed, Jones said little about Andrew Terry and the circumstances surrounding his arrest.

I Googled Dr. Arpad Vass - he's a research scientist and forensic anthropologist. Interesting guy. He testified in the CA case. He works with "decomposition odor analysis."

There was an article in May of this year about something Dr. Vass developed and calls his INQUISITOR machine which apparently is a grave detection device. DNA from a family member can be used as a reference sample. I'm not sure how exactly it's used or even if it's what Chief Jones was talking about but he did say they found what he called samples in the search area that they sent for forensic testing. He didn't say what the samples were.

Here is the website for Dr. Vass. Very interesting information. Be sure to watch the video about how they are detecting bodies. "Buster" is their cadaver dog with some great videos.

I always thought mom had something to do with this. I wish Arieanna would be found or someone would tell where she is at.

That's the thinking here in Roanoke also. JMO

 

[Steelslady]

This poor darling baby- where is she? If the mom did have something to do with it, will she crack soon? I know I couldn't put my head on a pillow at night if I harmed a piece of hair on my child- how do people like this sleep (I mean all killers, not just the parents of Arieanna, if they are involved). How do you go about your day, how do you live a normal life, after such a thing?

Would you mind linking this? I do believe he was indicted and many of us are confused about the "continued" in reference to the grand jury.

Terry added that he dug the baby's body in a shallow grave, but it has not been found.

According to the Montgomery County Circuit Court, he is now indicted for concealing the dead body.

His trial is set to begin on March 13.

I have him in court 2/19 for grand larceny charge.

I can't get into the court site for some reason this morning..... to check.

Did the mom ever make any statements to media?

I believe the only public statement Arieanna's mother ever made was in a FB group about finding her. Here it is, keeping in mind recent information.

"Beautiful Arieanna,

You’re 4 months old today. Baby girl, some days it’s hard to remember to breathe without you here. The pain is unbearable. How can I sleep when I don’t know where you’re sleeping? How are we supposed to go on?

We have hope that you are out there somewhere alive and will be home soon. But if you are not we know you’re in heaven looking down on us and we know you are watching and want us to be strong because you left us with beautiful memories.


I wish you were here with us wearing a pretty pink bow in your hair and your million dollar smile lighting up the room. We would celebrate and watch you laugh.

A baby as innocent and perfect as you shouldn’t have to come face to face with real life monsters. You are loved and missed by all of us. Every second of every day. Your brother and sisters ask about you and I don’t know what to tell them. They’ve asked if I need help looking for you. How does a mother answer that question?

Baby girl, we will never stop looking for you. Never. We pray every day you will return to us safely.

Happy Birthday Arieanna Renee.

We love you,
Mommy, your big brother and sisters"

It’s always interesting to see how different communities respond when a child goes missing. It was heart warming to see the community rally around Casey Hathaway when he went missing. I wish all communities cared so much. It appears that poor Arieanna has little or no support. It’s so very sad. I wonder if it’s because everyone thinks she’s dead so there’s nothing they can do, or if there’s a general apathy in the area she went missing. Somebody needs to rally the troops for this baby. It reminds me of Junior Phillips. You don’t hear much about him either.

Well, in this case, we have a father admitting she's deceased. Even telling LE where he allegedly buried her, but they haven't found her. Her mother and no other family members, to my knowledge, have reached out to the media, formed groups online, or tried searching for her. The huge difference in many of these cases is the family's input and begging for the public's help, even if it's just thoughts and prayers.

Arieanna will be 8 months old tomorrow. Where are you?

Have you seen this child? ARIEANNA DAY
