Seeing all of the news reports that have been released recently regarding the three Cleveland women that were captured for 10 years often makes me think about Brittanee. There are some sick people in this world.. Just thinking of what these women went through literally brings tears to my eyes and makes me sick to my stomach. No one should ever have to experience such awful events.
What makes me even more angry is the fact that instances on multiple occasions in which the police were notified of incidents going on there at the home.. A neighbor called LE to notify them that there was a naked woman out on the front lawn!! So my question is this: who dropped the ball on this one? Those women should have been saved long before now. Same with Jaycee Dugard- time after time the cops were notified of suspicious activity occurring surrounding this house. Phillip Garido's parole officer visited his residence for a "routine check-up" just NINE days after he abducted Jaycee, yet he reports searching the entire property and "saw nothing out of the ordinary"... Really? You missed the makeshift dungeon covered by a tarp right there in the back yard?? They missed it another 67 times after that. 67 "routine checkups" were utilized over this 18 year period, and nothing was done.
Stuff like this is what worries me, especially when it comes to Brittanee's case. I know that majority of the law enforcement agencies DO follow procedures properly, and a lot of times they aren't fortunate enough to be able save people in the same position as Jaycee, Elizabeth Smart or the Cleveland women.. Even though they have done everything in their power to find them safe. But every now and then, we get to witness a miracle and see these individuals return home to their families where they belong. However, there is still this small percentage of Law Enforcement officials that overlook evidence or tips that are dangling right in front of their faces. IMO, its careless mistakes like these that are becoming more and more common every day.. I mean, it could potentially cost someone their life!
I certainly hope that this isn't the case with Brittanee, and that the tips and other evidence acquired have been taken seriously and followed up on. Even if it turns out to be a dead lead, at least they tried. Both of her parents have said they don't believe the police are handling the investigation to the best of their ability. It's possible that they are working leads and just keeping hush on the information they may have. But IMO, no news is never 'good' news'. There hasn't been any searches done lately, we've received no updates on her case.. It just worries me. If she is alive and being held against her will, I hope it doesn't take them 10+ years to find her. If she's no longer alive, I hope someone will come forward soon and reveal answers, rather than watching Brittanee's loved ones suffer miserably for the years to come.
