Any local rumblings as to who might be involved?

Havent heard much.
Its most likely somebody right in that area. They probably take that road to go to work if they live in Rutland, or they might just live right on the road.
They picked a Sunday because they knew its mostly used for people going to work from Rutland. Theyll be caught.

Thank you everyone. I guess I have some soul searching to do.

Good luck. Breaking up sucks no way around that. It hurts and you'll miss he/she a lot. Take inventory of yourself and work on you to be who you want to be. Hopefully after your journey he/she will be waiting for you at the finish line, but if not you will be strong enough to keep going and realize maybe the plan for you wasn't what you had thought it was going to be, which does hurt but you'll see yourself different at least. Hang in there.

It reminds me of the Amy Lord case. I live and grew up in the area she was found and unless you are from that area you'd never know it existed especially where she was found.

It is scary as hell that's for sure.

I hope they catch the person and soon.

exactly-
them not saying much makes me think they are onto a certain person. Theyre probably checking video and cellphone info, etc.

I wish I got into this type of work. I would love to do that for a living. I love that forensic files crap.

Greetings LF!

Coming out of summer lurkdom to post this tribute to a dear friend of a dear friend (and B's fan, of course).

Teaching lessons until the very end

“Be grateful for the people who show up in your life every day because they don’t have to,’’ he wrote. “We were put on this earth to make it better than when we arrived. How are you making it better?’’

Diagnosed with ALS 15 months ago, Kevin marshaled all of his resources to finding a cure - not for himself, but for others who would come after him. Through sheer determination of will, he convened different research factions and got them to work together.

Part of Kevin Gosnell’s legacy is ALS ONE, which he founded to help find a cure for the disease that killed him. So far, it has raised more than $5 million. And leading ALS researchers like Dr. Robert H. Brown Jr. at UMass Medical School in Worcester credit Gosnell with helping to forge important medical partnerships.

“The likelihood of a meaningful therapy in five to 10 years is very high,’’ Brown said.

That’s something of which his family is proud. The team he put in place will carry on his mission.

That case was the focus of an episode of "See No Evil" on the ID channel. Detectives used surveillance video, from ATM's and area buildings, to track Amy's whereabouts that day and eventually capture her killer, Edwin Alemany. In the Vanessa Marcotte case, police seized footage of a suspicious man seen at Wachusett Mountain.

Unfortunately, I heard that guy at Wachuset was ruled out, confirmed that he crashed his bike. But four hundred sex offenders in the area and surrounding towns, over 100 are Level 3.

Completely unrelated, somebody with a 'Smearing Feces' twitter handle liked one of my tweets. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I just had to put my old kitty down.

He had been my Mom's . I had him since Nov 2008 when she left this earth. It really hurts. He was like a connection to her. I know this sounds silly to folks who aren't animal lovers but I am so sad.

Ladyfan, so so sorry. I can empathize with your grief and loss. Wishing you peace

Soosh, thank you for sharing his story. What a terrible ravaging disease.

Holding the space for all the transition and change.

Sometimes we leave each other notes on the bathroom mirror, so when it fogs up during a shower you get to see what is written.

I just took a shower and there was a note. :nod::heart:

It's been 130 degrees every day and you guys still take showers hot enough to fog up the mirror?

I don't think my hot water heating system has turned on in 2 months.

If it said "I'm watching you" that means Lonnie somehow got a copy of the new keys. :laugh:

In all seriousness, that is extremely sweet. Those little things are what makes a relationship great. You both deserve it and very happy for you guys.

So sorry to hear, we had to put our Pomeranian Jellybean down in Feb. and to this day it still hurts. I asked my wife the other day did we make the right call and she replied yes because it stopped her suffering. JB did not suffer much but I still ask myself that question but it is not silly at all as Wally said pets are family and we can always have the memories in photos or our minds.

So sorry Susan, I know how hard it is to lose a pet, and it sounds like you had a special connection to your kitty. Good thoughts are with you.
