I wonder, has anyone heard of anyone coming forward and saying they were involved with AB prior to EB?

[Wyks]

Hi Wyks, I agree about ripping down that evil house  if not I'm afraid it may turn into a place that people go just to see the house and talk about what happened there 

Hi No Rose!  I agree! 

The outrage over what happened to this little child is overwhelming, and if this was also some kind of ritual, I can't even picture the outrage that will happen, it just sends chills up me.

It is overwhelming, I agree.  Outrage from folks as well all across the USA and beyond.  One thing tho, if this was some kind of ritual, I kinda doubt 'the public' will hear about it.  In places where these things have occured and LE is working the case, they put a 'gag order' on the media regarding the details.  They do it to 'protect the senses of the public'.  Which is understandable.  And yet..... at the same time, it leaves the public unaware of these things, which makes it hard for them to believe such things can and do occur.  Also at the same time, little justice is brought on behalf of the victim/s.  It's all so hush-hush.  Sigh.

Hi Monkeys! Wyks! Good to see you! I'm interested in your thoughts on the ritualistic angle. It occurred to me, but I didn't want to believe it and I was unaware that any particular date of observance had been recent. I hope not, but when it comes to the facts that keep rolling out, every "worst fear" so far has proven true.

I can sure see why the police would want to keep a ritual hush hush. But if this happened, I will bet something will leak out about it.

[sassifrass]

CBB I see you up there. I'm so happy your travel to the memorial was a safe one. Thank you for sharing your experience and photo's with the Monkeys.

Hey sass which pic are you referring to that you really like. Om my jeez I still don't know how to see what people say. Only on my phone I can read. But can't see the pic. I got on my laptop to see your post and I don't see it. I feel like a dummy

I guess this wouldn't surprise me, but at the same time it would. I really hope this didn't happen, to think that a father could do this to his own child.

Thank you !     It brings me to tears just to look as these as you can feel the hurt of the people in them.  The cake was a wonderful gesture and it has made me cry.  We used to be foster parents and I have shed many tears over what some kids have gone through.  I have taken in  friends of my kids as well and they still call me Mom.  One is in the army now and another is a child counsellor.   I too would have taken Zahra in in a heartbeat. She would have been surrounded by love and I am sure she would have really made a difference in this world.  I have to believe there is a reason God called her as hard as it is to understand and as much as it hurts.

Nope. Not that I have seen.

If he was involved with anyone before Elisa, excluding Emily, they would be smart not saying a word.

What makes my heart break for Zahra, even more, is thinking about what she likely was thinking/feeling.  In the night, as she lay in bed going to sleep, what was she thinking/feeling?  Was she perhaps hoping, wishing, yearning........ for someone to SEE into her world of pain/suffering?  To come rescue her?  Some evidently saw, yet either did little to help rescue her, or didn't do enough, long enough, to ensure that she was removed from the abuse. 

Makes me look around my lil world at the people that cross my path.  What goes on in their homes?  Is that lil girl at the market, who smiles so sweetly... really happy?  Is she being cared for properly? 

We don't have to let Zahra's death happen in vain.  We can use this case to wake ourselves up......... to BE MORE AWARE of those in our communities who need help, who very likely cannot scream to the world for that help, but desperately want it/need it.  We can let this case be the wake up call for each and every one of us, to become more vigilant in making sure that 'doing the right thing' gets done. 

If it saves just one person from a violent death, then Zahra will not have endured what she could for as long as she could, in vain. 

Justice for Zahra!!

Wyks - not sure if you have seen the pictures of the shelf in the living room.  Some are saying that the goblet and box beside it are offerings.  There is also a statue on the fireplace mantel that looks like the grim reaper.  What is your take on this?  I can dig up the shelf image if you have not seen it.
