They have not found her body, as to my knowledge, what they did find, was the boys started talking about the trip & how they went in the dark & it was cold (winter in Utah) and that Mommie was in the trunk. And when it got day time Mommie was gone & did not come home with us.
There is more evidence...and hopefully the authorities will find her & give her a proper buriel, maybe with her babies remains.
And away from the monster.
I hurt for the grandparents............these boys were all they had of their daughter, and the monster took that away from them as well.
End of depressing discussion!

And that is the beginning of my point. They did not have enough evidence to put him away.

Yes I feel so bad for the family that is left behind.

And for what it is worth a judgment based on my opinion would not have been a very kind out-come for Josh.

Well, I am pages behind. Dont know if I will ever get caught up. Did some talking with T HI tonight. I am excited.

Blessings have truly been showered on me. I have been praying Nightly on how I should handle our financial situation. And there was the whole thing of my 2 sons playing at the Tacoma Dome. I would not be going as I did not have the $$$$$.

Well, the Good Lord provided.
I won $100 in free gas, from a drawing the local businesses were doing.
Then my dad calls me up to tell me that he has the $200 he owes me for his cell phone for the year (I had forgotten about this).
this was all great. Can you believe it, but wait.....

Some of my bills this month have decreased in their ammount..my insurance is down $100 why? not sure. But it is less...still gonna follow through on this.
Went to the clinic to pay on my medical bill...oh, they tell me, you need to either pay us in full or get this medical financial help. I qualify for the medical help...payment is now $20 a month lower.
Okay, great.

But wait....
I was in a contest at work...won $15. oh and.....
The cell phone company has been over-charging us for the past 5 years by approximately $5 a month...they will go back and refund.

And for the "Grand Finale"....
The place where we ALWAYS BUY OUR VEHICLES...called us.
We traded DH's truck in last year and got a Dodge Cumins as the Ford 350 kept breaking down (I have a F150 and love it).
We had a refund from the warranty we purchased when we originally bought the F350. I went and picked up the check. Almost $700.

Okay....I was almost in tears......

The Lord has provided me the ability to go to watch my boys at Regionals and at State (in Tacoma - this is why I have been talking with T HI). Plus has made our monthly financial situation much more doable.

Seriously...this has all happened within the last 30 days.

as my aunt used to say, over and over, the Lord works in mysterious ways

however, she would add, YOU need to do what you can do to work on whatever problem ....

looks like you are the proof of all that

 

[drumstick diva]

4 cats etc, Wow sounds like you were on the winning end of a chain letter. Remember the ones that used to say send $ 1 to the name at the top of the list and put your name on the bottom. In so many days you were supposed to reap in big bucks - yeah right Maybe they do work. LOL Very happy for you and your family.

ok, so I removed myself from the thread subscription and rejoined, logged off and logged back in, and I'm still NOT GETTING UPDATES!!
so then when I check there are like 60 - 90 posts that I missed!!

Anyway, things are getting crazy on here peeps!!! I really don't know much about the case and I don't watch TV, Terry knew about it and filled me in a bit. Here's the thing, both my kids have been in trouble with the law, I'm finding out that my ex BF, like ZG's ex was a VERY bad man!!! At one point I went to a prominent lawyer in WY and when we talked about the evidence and such I said the same thing that CGG said, what about "innocent until proven guilty"!!! Do you know what he said to me?? " There is NO SUCH THING!!" " It's a fallacy" " it does NOT EXIST" !!! I am quoting him verbatim!! I said OK, so I served my country, up holding the Constitution and all it stand for for what??? OK, this is what I took away from that experience, there is no TRUE justice in this land, ( proof of that exists because in my case a chimo walked) !!!
The cops are NOT your friends, they are there, to get what ever evidence they can, to put you away, and they use terrorist tactics to get the confession they want!!! I am NOT kidding!!! My heart was broken, and I felt betrayed, I love this Country, if I didn't I sure as H*** wouldn't have spent almost 15 yrs in her service!! But, I'm no fool, and what both my kids experienced in the justice system, and what happened to this family as a result?? Unforgivable!!! Now, I find out, the B****** didn't discriminate on gender either!!! And the sad part is, this state let him go to do this to someone elses kids!!! I can't change the past, but, it hurts so bad to KNOW that this person hurt my kids, was tried and walked!!! Ya wanna know why?? Because the jury was going to be there for 3 days and they didn't want to be!! I actually heard some of the jurors complaining that they would be missing work ect??? REALLY? what if these were YOUR kids?? What if someone you thought you knew hurt them?? Wouldn't you want a jury that was willing to be there and actually listen to the evidence?? The DA did a ppoor job of preparing my daughter and both my kids suffered because of the out come!! One HUGE reason my son was in treatment, and I didn't even know!!!
ok, sorry this is so long, just my opinion, and you guys have been on here long enough to know I HAVE ONE!! The only thing you can say about this Powell dude, is he is being judged now by the one and only who KNOWS the truth and what he has really done!! God Bless the little ones, may they rest in peace!!

Oh my gosh you really did have a day. So what did the VP do to the two boys who did that to your son? I bet nothing right?

He said that they were punished as well. I am not certain that they were suspended, but he implied that they were. The principal did admit that there are two groups of students that torment Alex intentionally on a near daily basis; the two involved yesterday, and a group of popular kids that know Alex gets really irritated by certain songs, so they hum them when they walk by. The teasing really bothers me, but I don't know what the school can do to stop it. They have awareness programs and talks with the students, and yet it goes on. They now seem to try and deal with it by having the teased students go to one of the counselors when it starts. I can't see that do a lot of good, seems to me it will lead to more teasing.

Olivia is doing no better. I think I posted in November that Olivia had good grades because of her test scores, even though she turns in little homework. Well, today she brought home another progress report, this one only for homework, and she has turned almost NOTHING in. Many if not most of these assignments I know she did, I even worked with her on them and signed them with notes to the teacher. She turned NONE of it in. Last time I threatened her with Catholic School. Today she said that is her goal because 2 girls at the school torment her every day, and she dreads going there.

Why is it that my kids have such issues with being teased? What can I do to teach them that there will be difficult people no matter where they go, and they need to move on and ignore these people?

I'm frustrated. I feel like a failure as a parent right now
