Two missing girls

wartknight said:
Had not heard the part about one of the girls trying to run away previously. Is that a town rumor or something that has been published? It certainly makes one look at the case differently.

Published. I read the article. The grandmother said she stopped the girl at the door and she was in tears. Grandma calmed her down and she stayed. I can't find the article I read that in right now...
 
So they have drained the lake for 2 days and have found no sign of the girls. We are talking about kids here. How far out in the lake could they possibly go? No way are they in that 5 acre lake.

Think the divers are for deep spots that are hard to drain.

This is what I read as well. The topographical map would suggest w/o the use of pumps there will still be water in the deep spot. My understanding is that this is a not a traditional Iowa "Damned" lake so the drain would be more of an overflow. Most damned lakes have the deep spot next to the damn and opening the gates would allow the lake to drain completely (or close to) but this lake has the deep spot close to the center of the lake away from any drains.

Lake Information for Meyer Lake Lake Map - Black Hawk County, Iowa
 
They drained this lake three years ago. Someone has to know the lay of the land...? If there is deep areas why wouldn't the FBI be proactive and bring these guys in on Monday, Tuesday or even Wed...?
 
I live three blocks, about, from the lake. I've used the path around the lake as a running route for several years, using it maybe 3-4 times a month, on weekends.

For two years now, I've been the subject of a self-imposed news blackout -- no tv news, radio, Web, or print (explaining why I'm asking the question I'm about to ask).

Can someone here in the know point to an article/source that describes that point near the lake where the bikes were found? Since I've run that path so many times, I'd like to know where the bikes were located to give me some idea how exposed or hidden that location is.

Thanks.

I can't link to it because I've used up my free access to the Register, but they had a map in today's paper showing the bikes were found on the SE corner of the lake right by the bike path.

Does CF not count against this rule?

Parents are starting to lawyer up.

I don't think the parents hurt the girls but I have felt that they know where they are. Once learning more about the past history and the timing of the hearings for the dad this just feels like a big hoax. The thing I struggle with is why they would do it and what the benefit is. Just a gut feeling, something has felt off about the whole family.

I hope I'm right and the girls are safe somewhere and the parents know where they are. But most likely I am wrong.

I thought about the hoax angle too but I don't understand what they (parents) get out of it? Sympathy? How does that help their court cases? Also, easy for me to say, but if I was innocent in a situation like this I'd never lawyer up.
 
Lawyering up doesnt mean from an investigation..
. Could mean they arent happy with the investigation... or they want some privacy from the media... or against the media.

My exact thoughts. But the thing I keep going back to is that we are dealing with meth heads here and rational thinking is not their best suit. The only angle I can think of is that they somehow think this can get them leniency in his cases and possibly profit from it by selling their story and speaking on the Today show etc.

Who the hell knows whats going on in their heads. They may have done nothing here but they just feel off. The mother is giving interviews in bar clothes and smiling and the dad and grandma just don't seem right at all. Doesn't appear they have a worry in the world.
