Remember that post that I made last thread giving a link to bartzshoes or whatever it's called? Well that's somebody that does something with a paper or media or something. She took alot of pictures at the candlelight vigil. When reading the FB page of Sam's good friend (helps on the missing FB site & posts alot) she mentioned "Duane" was at the vigil. That's when I noticed she spelled his name different than the media. I looked at so many pictures but can't figure it out. Do you know if there's an option to search court records for first name only & an age range?

hi knox,
" Bodies that sink into Alaskan waters tend to stay there. In warmer climates, corpses decompose and generate gases that eventually bring them to the surface. Alaska's frigid waters tend to preserve corpses, and glacial silt -- fine dust created by glaciers grinding down rock over centuries -- gets into clothing and crevices, and further weighs down the bodies."
from this LA times piece (good article).

lets hope this is not the case.

Yeah, makes sense... It's just that in following these cases, when it comes to surveillance videos, I've noticed that le only releases info to the public bit by bit. Like, why didn't they mention the dude in the truck when they mentioned it could be an abduction? They announced missing, then video, then the perp kidnapped her, then a weapon, then the guy in the truck - all progressed over different times. So why wait? They also said Sam & the perp went in one direction, then they said another.

Well I thought it was coincidental that the "thanks for your help" comment on Craig's List was referring to a location right off of Old Seward Hwy which was a direction mentioned by le.

For me this case is the oxy moron of Holy Bobo. I always just briefly allow myself to go to the human trafficking element. It's always young beautiful women in this age group that go missing. Then I dismiss it because I haven't researched it at all.

But I do wonder just a little bit when there are so many unanswered questions.

Do you guys remember this from the last thread? I wonder if this guy was tracked down & questioned. What's his name? Age? Married? Brand & color of his truck? Why was he just sitting in his truck?

Snipped:
There was no sign of a struggle, he said. Soon after, when the Duncans watched the surveillance video, they saw something that made them call police immediately, he said. The couple would not elaborate on what triggered the call but said the video was obscured somehow.

"This perpetrator took obvious and deliberate means to avoid being captured on video," Tyler Duncan said.

The abduction was apparently so stealthy that a person seen in the video, sitting in a pickup about 50 feet from the stand, didn't appear to notice anything strange, Tyler said.

"They were just oblivious," he said.

The thought also crossed my mind. Boats, docks and the proximity to Canada. But was not sure of the border crossing procedures involved.

I'm flip flopping like crazy with this case. I can't make up my mind whether this was random or planned and who was involved.

Jersey Girl, go on the FB page and click on one of her friends and then click on their friend's list and you just might find him that way. Its time consuming but you might find out a lot. Even check on their pictures of the friends. Kids like to tag their pictures.
