I spoke to someone who volunteered to search. He indicated that a police officer told a small group of them that they were searching for the body.

I found it interesting that the police began their search of the mother’s apartment the evening of July 30th and apparently didn’t wrap it up until the early morning hours of July 31st – after the Friday edition of the Statesman had gone to press.

As a result, only electronic media were able to report the situation this morning.

This is merely an observation. I am resisting the temptation to ascribe sinister or vengeful motives to this.

Here’s my hunch. The reason the police didn’t do squat until last night in checking out the mother and her boyfriend. Is because the father didn’t want to send his son to the mother because he knew what a (deleted) she was. But he was forced to by the family courts. Someone in the system knew this and they had the police play it off as if the kid was missing on his own or snatched by someone.

People in government cover for each other big time all the time and this is just another case of it. The Statesmen blew the lid off of the situation of the mother and boyfriend and that forced the police to have to do what they were trying to not do to cover for the family court that forced the father to send his son to the dangerous mother.

Watch a civil suit be filed by the father if it turns out the mother is involved in all of this. Or will the police destroy everything they can that points to the mother and just let it be a missing person matter with no close?

There seems to be no direction one can look and see a happy ending to this tragedy!

“If coppers were aware of the info detailed in the Statesman story, it would have been nice to share that with searchers. ”

I disagree. I am sure that if the BPD knew, they ran a seperate investigation in addition to the search. There is no reason for Joe Public volunteer doing an area search to concern himself with the fact that the parents may also be suspects…it is the searchers job to look in holes, knock on doors, look in canals….search the area…and the detectives job to investigate alternative possibilities with out tipping off any potential badguys, including the parents. Just my 0.02 worth.

EDITOR NOTE–Our point is there is a big difference between looking for a kid who may have wandered off and body concealed as a result of possible criminal acts–regardless of who the suspects may be. You will see a much expanded search area today which should include remote “dumping areas.”

The one small wonder I had from the get go was, was the father under court order to allow the mother to have the boy for X amount of time X time of year. Being that the boy friend wasn’t allowed with the female child of this mother by the courts. Did the courts provide this information and other information to the out of state father who may have know nothing of these problems. Thinking he was sending his son to a somewhat safe place with the boy’s mother.
I’m sure my wondering comes from all the stories one hears over the years on how men are treated like tenth rated citizens in family courts.
As far as the child goes, I don’t know many 8 year olds that have the skills to support themselves for this many days. My gut feelings are the mom and the boyfriend know more than they are willing to let be known. I’m counting on the facts coming out sooner or later.

Kudo’s to the Statesman. Hopefully the kid just ran away from a bad situation.

They also deserve credit for the story on the surgery that the headache guy underwent. A very informative article on the technique.
