Blog Search Option

/in /by

I was wondering if you can help me. The blogger search box above doesn’t seem to be searching through my blog anymore. It comes up blank most of the time and I don’t know why. With over 1,000 posts now, I need a good search option. Without it, people can find my posts on topics and I get many emails a day asking me if I have reviewed this or that case.

Does anyone know of a good widget we can use? While blogger has one, it is for their new template and I am currently using their old, so it won’t work for me.

Just thought I would ask for help. Thanks in advance!

Second Dental Opinion

Dentist wearing protective mask and holding tools in exam room

Well, I finally went and got a second dental opinion. I thought you would find this interesting. The dentist was a woman about my age. She had a fresh and honest face. Her opinion? I had all the cavities the other dentist said in my wisdom and molars, however, she only saw calcification on my front tooth. She said that is the earliest hint that decay could form, but she didn’t see any decay, and she wouldn’t fill that tooth at this time. She saw no point, but would keep an eye on it.

Then she told me, she thought I needed to have 5 other molars filled that the other dentist didn’t!! I think she truly believed it, too.

She told me she was conservative and thought her instrument stuck in each of these molars and hence they needed to be filled. She then told me, I could wait on them if I wanted, and she would prioritize them.

Does this make your head spin, or what?

My Thoughts: Sarah Snead

/in /by

When I watch Sarah Snead speak in this video, I do not see anything in Sarah’s behavior that concerns me.

While Sarah isn’t stressed out or showing deep concern for her friend, she may believe that Morgan simply ran off by her own choice. When you are young, you feel invincible, and Sarah could feel (it is not implausible) that foul play is unlikely. She may be more inclined to believe that Morgan ran off intentionally, but may not be willing to say that publicly. Hence, I can’t put much weigh on her lack of emotions here as this could be a logical explanation for her response.

Read moreWhen I was 16, a friend in my circle of friends disappeared. Everyone was concerned and panicked for the girl after she was missing for several days. I was like, “Oh she always talked about running away. She wasn’t happy. She probably just did it. She’ll be back.” I didn’t even blink an eye. How wrong I was. She was murdered and they finally found her body in a cornfield. Had I been interviewed at that point, and been the last person with her, I would have likely been much like Sarah, or worse.

Furthermore, while Sarah laughs in this video and smiles while talking another time, that in and of itself is not a red flag for me either. Sad people and worried people laugh, even in difficult times, especially when they are distracted in a group setting. The timing and content of laughter makes all the difference. More importantly, I do not see her laughter or smiles as “inconsistent” or contradicting.

When I listen to the facts, I do, however, find it odd that her friends would leave Morgan there, outside alone and not worry about her. To think that she would simply find another ride home 150 miles away (if my calculations are correct) is highly unlikely — especially if her car was in the parking lot (even if she didn’t drive it).

I would think Morgan would have (a) asked her friends for the car keys and waited for them in her car, or (b) told them she’d meet them back there later, but her friends don’t say that. I mean Morgan had a car there, her car, if I understand it right and all she had to do was get the keys and she could have gone to a coffee shop. Why would she set out on foot, in the dark? That makes no sense–especially in an unfamiliar place.

I’d be curious to know if there are cell phone records of Morgan’s friends trying to find her after the concert to make sure she is okay. Did they ever call her cell phone? Did they ever get worried? That is odd and unusual. That fact piques my interest more than anything else.

From what I have read in the news, the first time anyone knew Morgan was gone was when she didn’t show up at home the next day.

Could Morgan have planned to run away? It’s possible. Could her friends know? Of course, but I can’t discern that from this video. I’d need to see more.

Nicholas Francisco Found Alive and Well

/in /by

Do you remember Christine Francisco in February of 2008 pleading for help to find her missing husband? Well apparently, Nick is alive and well living under another name in another state.

Read moreWhen I watched Christine speak back then, she raised several red flags for me that are now eerily reminiscent to Diena Thompson’s behavior. She wiped away non-existent tears (I forgot that!), she grinned at odd times, it appeared that she had to stop herself from laughing several times, too, when she was supposedly distraught! You can read my assessment of Christine Francisco here.

Christine Francisco originally thought her husband met with foul play and was “murdered”. Then she turned around and divorced him four months later citing “willful abandonment” and a “‘history of acts of domestic violence or an assault or sexual assault, which causes grievous bodily harm or the fear of such harm’ under a section requesting restrictions on Nicholas Francisco’s access to their children (source).”

What do you think of the latest development? I can’t help but wonder what, if anything, Christine might have known.

Thanks, A, for the update!

Morgan Dana Harrington’s Friend Speaks Out

/in /by

Topic Suggestion from Anonymous (Anonymous’ thoughts below):

Her name is Sarah Sneed…

I get a strange vibe from her. She seems so unemotional. When discussing Dana being missing she says, “YOU just put the focus on getting HER home, that’s all YOU can do…..” distancing. Read more

Also, when discussing why they left in Morgan’s car without her that night she states, “I mean obviously if we thought…. something bad….we wouldn’t have done it if we didn’t think it was ok. uhmmmm, but…….you know….” and then she seems to almost grin or show happiness a bit when she continues with her thought, “obviously….we wish things had taken place differently”.

I don’t know about you or anyone else but if one of my best friends of ten years went missing… I’d maybe say her name or tear up or feel guilty…. maybe that’s just me though. this girls seems like a stepford friend in her lack of emotion.
