      @AdventureswithPurpose,the police feel no sympathy for addicts and as a recovering addicts of 7 yrs I'm so grateful that god seen me fit to save and even when the devil was flowing thru my veins he still protected me from beyond evil! It sickens me that they won't help this family! I would do all I could to make sure my voice for her is heard all the way to the Whitehouse! I will continue to pray for them and I also pray someone will finally come forward!!! You guys continue to stay safe and God bless you all

      @Delana Taylor Online my mother is a drug addict, and when I was 8-9 my sisters and i were taken into foster care because she obviously was so strung out all the time and we were to young to truly fend fo ourselves, we became dirty because we ran out of basic necessities like shampoo and body wash,and we didnt know how to and couldnt wash clothes, we all lost alot of weight because we couldn't feed ourselves properly, and on top of that my mother sold us to husband number 5s brother for an 8 ball of coke, resulting in the rape of my two younger sisters.
      Shes been in and out of prison 5 times, still uses, and still hangs out with the wrong people, currently shes homeless living in her tahoe in wyoming winter, because she chose to allow her boyfriend and seven dogs (who live with her in her car) to live in her house after she had been told to evict them.
      I agree I dont feel this is what was happening to karena at all. I feel it was maybe her first or one of her first few times she had dabbled and it ended badly.
      We shouldnt judge every person who sucumbs to drugs the same at all, we dont know their story, why they decided to take them, or even how long they had been, they are humans who have made a poor life decision yes, but its not a reason to judge them and cause greif for families of them by not helping in any way they can.

      @@kiyaworkman316 my mom was sold to local police and cocaine drug Lords since she was 3 years old. Her " father" was also VERY physically abusive! To her mother as well!
      Her mother went across the street to try to put an end to it but "committed suicide," in their basement instead. My mom was only 9 at the time. At 15 she got pregnant by a big scary older dude. 60s small town mentality, she got married to him. He also beat her and put her in the hospital a few times. He introduced drugs and alcohol to her and that helped numb her. She got pregnant with my other sister and made it away from him. She moved across the US and met my dad, an alcoholic, but a good guy. She was just too broken. They did their dirt for about 6 years and arguments and fighting, then the other not knowing where the other was, who's bed the other was in.... Divorced and moved to the other side of the US with us. The drinking and drugs was constant. In and outs of rehab. Staying here then there. It was just too much! I got away when I was 10 while she was in rehab. I hated never knowing if I was coming home to an empty house,a biker party, or her getting her stomach pumped. I didn't understand why she didn't love me enough to stop. At 14 I got a call saying my mom was in a coma, her kidneys stopped working, she would be a vegetable if she woke up. We found out that she had a lot of brain damage from so many blows. So, not only did the need to be numb took her down that road but also the incapability to stop 🛑 addiction plus brain damage was too much! I didn't understand that until I was older. She was just a broken child trying not to feel pain.
      I myself went through many painful surgeries and found myself addicted to pain pills. MY PILLS!!! More surgeries, more pain, higher tolerance, higher dose. I wasn't selling my stuff, living in pill heads houses, on the streets. I didn't steal, beg, or borrow. I decided I wanted to quit! Never would have happened without GOD getting me through it. I was addict! I wasn't a bad person. I was still a human being needing help! If I would have died, I would have been just another opiate junky right? Society needs to be more understanding. Especially those in the position to help!

He was caught not until many deatjhs and 5yrs. later the detective never gave up even after he retired he worked the case finally with other state police agencys. My moms co worker was also,a crime writer and pt P.I and investigated. Anne Rule wrote the book anx thats how we found ojt years latef. Ill never forget that day. it was l roped off police,caous all around. nl one really knew i never walked to school avain sven in high

I hkpe you find sollace and i will pray and im at least very saddened by your loss im relieved in knowing that your loved one was found and u have the what they call" closure."seems so, no words i can find to describe just unsettling and devistating thats how i would probably feel im in grief couns.group many people of murdered loved ones Three exact and its just empty and sensless what humans can be capable of and have no coscience or remorse for human life.

She's dealing with the trauma of that the best way she knows how. By doing her utmost to find her and find the truth. She's an amazing loving lady

      Let me tell you about that snapping turtle my grandma used to catch them in the pond down behind our house everybody else would he turtle soup I just wasn’t going to go there. But my dad will get mad because she would hang them from the clothesline until they died and he would go out there and shoot him to put them out of their misery. When we got old enough to smoke one of us teenagers took a cigarette out there and put it in its mouth so it could have its last smoke before my dad got home and decided he needed to be put out of his misery. Very cruel. All of it.

    There was a young lady missing & presumed dead in my area. The family put out little white anonymous tip boxes with her picture on the front with the county attorneys phone number on it, and pen & paper inside. Her murder was solved when an attorney with information called the County Attorney's office. If you don't want to use the County Attorney's number because of the issues that you've had with law enforcement, I would put the boxes up with a picture of her, and "Please Just Tell Us Where her body is so we can bury our baby!" And put a kik or other anonymous messaging account as the contact information

      They won't. We had a missing girl a few years back in my area and the suspects (the parents knew who she was with) just played dumb and lead the police and volunteers in wild searches for years (dump yard, accusing each other, etc.).
      The last I heard of them is one of the is free and with a baby girl and living anormal life and he and his girlfriend were all belligerent and complaining that the people were judging them and "looking at them with bad eyes" and all they wanted was to "live their lives".
      Absolutely disgusting, and the family of the murdered girl still have no closure, but hey, no corpse found = less sentence... They should rott in hell, and while I know the baby has no fault they shouldn't be allowed to have the baby, just think of what could happen to her with parents like that.
      Knowing it was them and not be able to "make them talk" and let them lives like nothing happened, they should be in jail for life.

    Been watching and have to say~ Purple paint on trees on property edge means "No Trespassing" and "No Hunting", it does not automatically mean they'll shoot you. It also does not mean they won't!

    I live in kokomo and to hear what this family had to go through breaks my heart. Plus who tells somebody to start looking for remains. That is not how you talk to others.

      Kokomo police are not easy to work with at all. My friends and I were trying to help with an investigation and it took us reaching out to a separate department in a different area and the FBI to have them backtrack and actually fucking listen.

Bless this poor family and I hope to God that someone finds her and brings this family closure. God bless you guys and all that you do for these family's. You show so much love to people you don't know. I hope you know how much you are changing the world.
