Sadly, I thought this might be the case in Menifee

Hopefully I'm wrong.

Yikes. Hope he's found alive and ok.

So the police had an 85 square mile search area yet the kid's remains were found at the house?

Because the step-brother said Terry followed him out of the house, and that's where he was supposedly last seen...  Maybe read the article first next time?

I'm sorry. I just thought that maybe the first place they would check would be the kid's house. My bad.

Continue to write the story in your head, I guess; not enough facts in those two stories I read to make the assumptions you do.

[Lhalo]

So let me get this straight. A kid goes missing and you're not going to check his house and the surrounding yard? Why are you so defensive toward me about this?

[Lifetime]

by the way, if you actually read the article, they haven't even confirmed the remains found are human much less the missing child's. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

You look first where the best available information directs you. That wasn't the house or yard.

Four days LT, four days.

[mtangelsfan]

Horrible.

 

The step brother has some explaining to do. 

[Lifetime]

yes, and what?

[Lhalo]

It took them that long to search the house and find the remains. That doesn't seem very timely to me.

[LBHalos17]

Don't bother, LT... common-sense is lacking, and you'll be accused of personal attacks apparently.

Again, you're getting ahead of yourself. But you look where the evidence says you should look. If the information changes, you adjust, as they did.

I somehow doubt that the police would call off search efforts after finding animal remains.

Not so out of line to me.

 

[katie]

Horrible.

Seriously. "some time between 7:30 and 9"

That seems like a big window to me.

I just think that the house and surrounding property should have been searched thoroughly for the kid early on in the investigation. Is there something wrong with that point of view?

I agree with Lawrence here. Should've had a couple detectives/cops/volunteers check the immediate areas around the house.

 

Look what happened with the one case a few months ago, in the sierra foothills, where the brother made up a phoney story about an intruder murdering his sister. Never just go off what a witness says.

People like to argue.

It's sad that that should become the norm instead of the exception lately.

Oh yeah Lawrence sure was accusing you of personal attacks. You're the one lacking conmon sense. Apparently.

[Chimi]

Of course you search the house.  He's autistic and could have ran home and hid in a closet or some place.  So maybe searching the house to rule out he wasn't in there should have been the first thing they did.
