Missing 9-year-old Missouri girl found dead in cave, police say

[lizbud]

They have arrested the step father & another male friend. This guy's
explanation of his activities on the night the little girl disappeared seems
to strange to be believable.

I've been following this story too. It just didn't add up. If he left his mother at his house when he took her car, she should have known what happened to the girl. What is wrong with people? Always killing children!!!

I feel so sorry for the girl's mother!!!!

I feel so sorry for the girl's mother!!!!

I do too. I hope she has friends who can help comfort her.I read that
the mother worked two jobs to support herself & daughter. It is a hard,
hard world for working women nowadays.

I personaly think that all who prey on childen should be convicted to life
in prison with NO parole or death,

[loveallfurryfriends]

I absolutely agree! No death and no parole, death is too easy.

Cases like this make it seem like reinstating things like sentencing the guy to spend the rest of his life at hard labor - breaking big rocks into little rocks with a sledge-hammer for the next 60 years - seem reasonable.

His story makes no sense whatsoever.

Our prayers are with the girl's mother, that the truth be found and justice be done.

Seems like there are a lot of stories such as this were the boyfriend harms the child. We woman have to take note of the men we date. Can we truly trust them to be left alone with our precious child, how long how well do we know them. These stories are so sad and this child, a horrible senseless death. May he get what is coming to him.

I hadn't read the followup on this..."sick" doesn't come close...SHE is working two jobs, and HE has buddies over???

That poor mom...her only girl...prayers for her and her grandmother.
