That could just be how the quotes were cut. Someone can be annoyed that it took the police so long to get involved and also appreciative of the hard work they have put in since. The sister may be a more positive person and emphasized the appreciation or the reporter could have emphasized one...

He may have thought she would wake him up moving around when she woke up but slept deeper than normal.

It seems likely that this person is lying about driving her back to get her car so it sounds like they are being uncooperative. Focusing on a suspect early can be brought up as a defense because there could be missing clues so police will often continue to search even when they are pretty sure...

The old missing persons profile linked above appears to have the info. Apparently he was reported missing by his employer but no one ever located or contacted his family. His brothers knew where he was and they all had no idea Otto was considered a missing person. His brothers said it wasn't...

I know this an old and now mostly irrelevant comment but just so you know the Human Identification Lab at the university in Chico is state of the art. They handle cases all over California including federal cases. They don't often get mentioned but if you read about an ID that requires...

Considering that men who want a teenager to fly across the country tend to seek out girls without a strong family support system and there is a stunning lack of information about this case online, it seems likely no one in this young lady's life cares much.

It took a year to arrest Roman Lopez's dad and stepmom. Once those arrest warrants were out it became clear that LE knew a lot more than they were sharing. We don't know what information they have that makes them say that but hopefully they have enough to find the boys eventually.

I suspect in this case it is because inconsistencies in everyone's stories made placement with the grandparents questionable. However, even for an emergency kinship care placement they will make sure the house is safe and appropriate for kids. Each county has rules about what is required for...

The category of post-adoption payments called Adoption Assistance Program was designed for special needs kids and expanded to other foster kids that are harder to place for adoption. Often it's stated that older kids and siblings qualify as "special needs" but really it just means they qualify...

That depends on what you mean by "extra extra money." Adopting two different sets of brothers wouldn't bring a higher adoption assistance payment per child but that would make children from both sets eligible for some assistance. Payments are not guaranteed with every child that falls under the...

How many missing persons reports did the Austin American-Statesman do about anyone from Dallas? One child and a 39 year old woman both from a different city is not a lot of evidence that either the Dallas police or the Dallas media could have been made to pay attention by just trying harder...

Some adoption grants are described with that justification because of the over-inflated expenses for adopting a newborn. That's different than the monthly benefit the West family likely received. The adoption assistance program is not about discrimination against potential adoptive parents...

Unfortunately I agree that someone would have come forward already. If they are alive they are not in good hands, but I don't think they are alive.

Parents can love their children and still not have the ability to get to a library during open hours, a nickel to place in a copy machine, or a working phone. Today missing black girls are often ignored by the media. Her parents could have devoted every spare minute until they worked...

That includes 62,000 runaways and, more incidentally, 7 missing after a catastrophe of some kind: https://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/agweb/pdfs/missing/children/ch-ann-reports-2020.pdf A much smaller percent are still missing. 41,000 of those children returned on their own 14,000 were...

I think either it was a typo or the same message was being sent to regular foster families and group homes. The programs can be hard to adhere to. I knew a girl who got in a fight with her roommate and her roommate kept reporting her to their program until the program kicked her out. They are...

There are federal bonuses for states based on permanent places but not necessarily to individual employees. I have yet to find a county or other agency that compensates the workers based on placement although the belief that workers get bonuses is common enough that it seems likely they exist...

I skimmed over the initials in the press release . You are correct that FCSO was the one conducting the death investigation. However, the statement from Rexburg PD is pretty clear that the missing kids report came after the death investigation and not the other way around. It does not mention...

Except the statement from Rexburg PD was that they began to investigate Tammy's death and then discovered the kids were missing. Someone or something must have tipped them off to the suspicious nature of her death.

This would make a lot of sense. At some point they would need to stop for gas if not food and bathrooms. Those kids are old enough to alert someone that they need help but young enough not to fully understand her health issues so if she says they need to hide so no one takes them away they may...
