If they believe she is dead, they need to find her body to be sure of it.

I don't fault them for going on vacation -- they and their kids need a break from this. It won't do the parents much good, but it will help normalize things for their children.

They are parents who have a family to think about, under the most heartbreaking of circumstances, not generals marshalling the troops in a war zone.

Get a grip.

"GET A GRIP"

All I know is that it is not normal to go on vacation when your daughter has been missing less than four months. A vacation to me means to forget your cares and enjoy yourself. It would be the last thing on my mind.

If you think it is normal with your "get a grip comment", fine, Obviously, we disagree.

God gives us a special duty as parents to care and nuture our children and I can't comprehend going on vacation during the time a child is missing. Money can be spent on detectives to help find Elizabeth. If Ed and Lois asked the other children rather they would want the money spent on a vacation or on helping to find Elizabeth, I wonder what they would say.
