Here is the link I was referencing...I've put it out here before the newest flock of sleuthers showed up on Topix. The article best captures the complicated dynamics of smalltown policing and youth which escalated into an unusual circumstance in an otherwise beaucolic environment; the causative factor; the germinated seed. The assertion that either Floyd or McKay, or both of them, were on the prowl to commit murderous acts in the general public is preposterous. Yes, McKay was a toughass, and Floyd is scrappy and an individual, but, again, the dynamics of the event were specifically related to the McKay / Kenney relationship. Of course, 5 years later, someone thinks she's on to a hot lead, and like Jenkins, tenaciouly holds on to her discovery. Like every other connection to Maura by cement, stranger abduction, menstrual blood or ice fishing...it is not proven. http://www.bostonmagazine.com/articles/2007/0...

And for Chrissakes, Jenkins, scroll down to the bottom of the Topix (or any other page) to access the non-mobile or "full-site" format. You can more easily play with the judging buttons as often as you like. Don't make me become a nagging "uber bitch" by playing dumb. I thought you are supposed to be the young, hip stud who knows it all? The "Simply Sarcasm" moniker is spoken for, but I can identify with the frustration of answering repetitive posts that throw out unsupported ideas and misrepresent them as facts.

OR was it SBD...? For goodness sake...take off the blinders... Tom C. Christopher G....? etc I hate that swinging a dead cat talk..sickening. Shack - did Maura have a death in the family? Was that a lie? How abou the cc fraud that isn't really honest behaivoir. Not sure why we have to weigh her against the sbd. Not sure why you think there was no proof of drinking, but you can make mention about an ice fishing hole. Was there any proof to that?

No, I said most girls would take that ride, which is a fact. Most girls will take a ride from a stranger if they are stranded, this is definitely a fact I don't see how anyone can even try to debate that. Yes girls are bombarded with the whole 'strangers are dangerous' thing but that doesn't mean they listen to it when they're stranded. In fact I've never heard if a girl walking miles instead of accepting a ride. Like I said, I've heard many many stories of girls taking rides but I've never ever once in my life heard a girl tell a story about her walking 5 miles because she was scared of being abducted, have you?? If you have, have you heard it more than once? Sorry it it is a fact that the majority of girls would accept a ride. What I said about the CRVK is true, these women, and others were attacked when traveling along or near the i91 corridor, same route Maura was tracelling on. These attacks are few and far between though and most girl/people don't even know they happened. When I mention that there was a serial killer in the area to people my age I get utter disbelief. Even though women do get killed in these situations it's still extremely rare, very very rare. Rare enough to where most girls will take their chances rather than walk miles out of fear, most girls don't want to let fear run their lives. Most young girls, like Maura, are trusting, everyone thinks it can't or won't happen to them. As for the quote from Maura's sister it is blatantly obvious that's what she's talking about when she says Maura was too trusting and that's what got her in trouble. What else did she mean that she was too trusting so she walked into the woods?? Seriously, what else could it mean except maybe she walked up to someone's house and that's who killed her. The family has made no secret of the fact that they believe she got a ride from the wrong person. What else could she mean? Again - its worth noting that her fathers words were spoken to her, not to some guy that had her jump into his car that has her locked up in a basement ready to cut her into piscies and throw her down an ice fishin hole. Her father goes on TV to plea with her and not to the "dirtbag".

Ive never seen a "Bob House" unless there like the "Out Houses" still used in West VA.. The birds fly upside down in that state.. Not talking about the melting pot. I'm referencing the folks with deep, multi generational roots who share a singular social / cultural history and beliefs that limit the inclusion of those unlike themselves. Of course, that narrow view is the foundation for stereotypes. Like "Red Neck" that Maruchan brought up. Previous generations in all locations lead, follow and / or assimilate to become part of their chosen social group. Our orientation to the world is as local as our upbringing, and the first tip-off can often be a regional accent / dialect. Political Correctness would have us become clones of each other. More New Yorkers think they'd like to be farmers until the reality smacks them between the eyes. There are plenty of stories written about the idealized country life, and city slickers that can't acclimate to the demands of hard, physical work and good judgment. One of my dogs comes from West Virginia! LOL His gene pool is shaped by his breed origins, and more recently, his Southern roots. If he could talk, we'd have a discussion. I trust you'll cast your vote for the better of the two options.:)

This is one of the places sbd went to go check, French pond. There was a quote I read where he mentioned that kids hung out down there sometimes and he wanted to check the shanties, or something to that effect. This is one thing that always makes me think that he knew more than he was saying. If he's looking for some girl from mass why would he possibly think she knows where French pond is or that there would be ice fishing shanties to hide in? Idk, but to me that doesn't sound like the place to look if you think some out of town girl went walking somewhere. Why go check French pond but not drive east? French pond isn't the place to look if your looking for an out of town girl that's on foot, imo, that's where you look if you think she's with a local who's trying to hide her. They don't check east but they check fishing shanties on French pond?? Weird behavior if your lookin for an out of town girl on foot. I've never read anywhere that he said he went to check the pond or the shanties. I don't think that's true and if you can provide a link where he said that it would be great. As I said earlier Mountain Lakes (French Pond) is mostly second homes owned by people from MA, CT and RI. It makes perfect sense that a driver from MA might be walking back to their home if they went off the road.That would be the first place I'd look for an out of state driver that left their vehicle.

This is exactly where Floyd lived, who was a sick bastard that claimed to have killed 17 people. We know he was too young for Vietnam so who are all these people he killed?? It's easy to write off as crazy talk by a sick individual but seeing his complete lack of any emotion after killing liko kenney is chilling to say the least. He was heard laughing and joking about it. I'm sorry but people who are forced to kill someone else, even if they know they're in the right, feel bad about doing it; often experiencing PTSD and other long lasting effects. This guy just didn't give a fuck, like a true psychopath. Idk if I believe cw's sighting but even if it's wrong this guy clearly should be eliminated as a suspect. It's been said that this guy had a scanner and he definitely lived right there. At the very least He would've known that there was a young girl with mass plates out broken down on the side of the road. it's also been said that he would impersonate being a police officer, often acting as unofficial 'backup' for McKay. LE did at least one search of his property, I believe two. So to be fair he may have been eliminated as a suspect, they're not saying either way. Bob said:***it's also been said that he would impersonate being a police officer, often acting as unofficial 'backup' for McKay. LE did at least one search of his property, I believe two.*** As far as I know none of this is true. Show us a link to this information. Thanks Bob your really not helping by making up a bunch of crap but it is quite entertaining to read over coffee. But you need to back up your words if you intend to blame a person for harming Maura.

It's what you think a girl would do. I'm a girl and if I was stranded in a strange place I would NOT take a ride from a stranger, especially if I had just passed a store and several houses that I could walk to for help or to use the phone.

What IS interesting to me is that Shack will come online, select one of her improbable possibilities for Maura's disappearance from her drop down bar, and then run away. Jenkins and a few others will run with it. She has no proof, and has never participated, to my knowledge, in the conversation to affirm or refute her accusatory droppings. Some poor milkman or mailman may came up next on the list. There are endless possibilities for casting unfounded blame if you don't care about taking responsibility for the direction of your finger pointing. Perhaps that's the true definition of a gossip. The Washington DC intern was eventually found, and connected to the very person suspected; Natalee Holloway was never found, but is presumed to be connected to the person she met and was last known to be seen with. The simplest explanation is probably the most obvious. Who was in Maura's life before her disappearance? What prompted her to run? Which departures from her customary habits hold the clue(s)? The public doesn't have access to this information, but it seems unlikely she was a victim of random violence. She was already involved in some circumstances that were shaping her departure from UMASS.

It is also against Redneck code to chum with any discarded human corpses. If one does this, word will get around and you and your Bob House will be forcibly removed from the ice, dismissed from the fraternity, have all of your alcohol confiscated,and labeled an inappropriate chummer. Now this is funny. LOL

OKAY wrote: <quoted text> Not interesting; old news. The concept was previously introduced, debated, and discarded. More importantly, LE is well aware of all the dyamics associated with the history of Floyd/Kenney/McKay. For the record, McKay was murdered by Liko Kenney; citizen murdered cop by gunfire; not the other way around. Bad Blood is a compilation of cherry-picked assertions. That said, the most accurate article about the subject, IMO, was written by a Boston publication. I don't recall the author at this moment. To smear the SBD or McKay posthumously is to be unconscienably ignorant. Neither of you making these claims is sufficiently knowledgable. The connection to Maura is unsupported and irrelevant if one has fully studied the subject. I couldn't agree more. Very well said.
