Good afternoon Monkeys.
Lab I think the first sex offender looks the most like the sketch.

What in the world is up with all this dismemberment? God it is bad enough to kill them  , That is just horrible to cut them up. God have Mercy on us all.

Yes, darla...I thoughts so too.  Especially after I found a second picture.  But, searching for someone that fits that sketch is difficult and could be someone without a record.  Just thought that I would check it out.

Police Still Trying To ID Body Found In Arvada

 ::snipping2::

In another possible development in Jessica's disappearance, police in Portsmouth, New Hampshire have confirmed that a car possibly linked to the missing child case was found Thursday morning.

The car, abandoned by a Portsmouth Walmart according to the Boston CBS affiliate, matched a description provided in a tip out of Dexter, Maine, which is 170 miles away from Portsmouth. According to the Dexter Police Department, a woman claimed she saw a girl that looked like Jessica at about 4 p.m. Sunday. The woman said the girl was in a light blue Buick with a roof rack. The car had Colorado plates, but the woman was unable to get the number.

Police in Portsmouth confirmed to 11 News Thursday that their department and police in Westminster are both investigating this discovery.

Jessica Ridgeway search leads to body found near two attempted abduction cases

October 11, 2012

 ::snipping2::

The field where the body was located is the location where two attempted child abductions took place in Sept., according to 9 News.

The first attempted kidnapping took place less than a mile from where the body was found. It involved a man approaching an 8 year old boy in his driveway. The boy was able to escape the situation, reports the local news media outlet.

Just three days later, a man attempted to abduct a 9 year old boy in the parking lot of Fitzmorris Elementary school by offering the child candy. The boy ran away to safety, reports 9 News.

Authorities describe the man in both incidents as a white male with brown hair between the ages of 20 and 40.

9 News reports that a year ago, police announced a man in Arvada was targeting children. At that time authorities released a sketch of the man believed to be a suspect in the attempted abductions.

I believe the murderer of little Jessica is still in the area. In order to dismember a body tools would have been used & he would have needed someplace to do that. 
The second thing is sex predators first thing they do is plan. case out and watch the kids near the school and see who walks alone.

I hope the public gets really involved and lets catch this monster.

I vote that every pedophile be dismembered, that it somehow be disguised then permanently reattached to their foreheads and that it be the absolute law for any pedophile released back into society.  That might just stop these bleeding heart judges who believe in rehabilitation or those who sympathize because they have the same predilections or proclivities.  There is no cure, there is no rehabilitation and, IMO, with every one (which actually seems to be most of them) who gets a slap on the wrist many more are emboldened.  Or course, there is a much more expedient form of eradication, unfortunately it is still illegal.  Sorry, rant over.

I believe it is someone familiar with her neighborhood...it's such a BIG neighborhood.  He is from the area, I believe.

I agree.
And he'll do it again.
He has to be caught.

There is no treatment by sending them to prisons or jails and then they are let out into society again.
I vote to have them sent to Aruba.

Police: Car found in city not linked to Colorado missing girl case
October 11, 2012

PORTSMOUTH — The city became a temporary focal point in the search for a missing Colorado girl on Thursday after an abandoned car with potential ties to the case was found within city limits.

Despite a daylong investigation launched by local police, in conjunction with authorities in Colorado and the FBI, the vehicle has nothing to do with the disappearance of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway of Colorado, police announced in the afternoon.

Woodland Park police say a 14-year-old girl is safe after a man tried to kidnap her Thursday afternoon.

Police say the alleged kidnapping attempt happened along West Kelleys Road about 2:10 p.m. Thursday.

Graceland, Thank-you!


 

The School should have another technique to inform parents, when a child does not show-up for Class. This really stinks, when the school sends out a casual e-mail, or a phone call, and does not feel an obligation to follow-up, and find out what happened, and why the child is not in class. IMO
