And people ask why I believe in witches.
Thousands and thousands of troubled kids out there. Our public schools are making it worse.
And the ultimate irony is that if they had revealed this information to police right away, it's likely their son would still be alive, and serving a relatively brief sentence.
These bad people made bad decisions, reinforced by a bad lawyer. And having raised a bad son, the world has lost two people. Actions have consequences, and sometimes those consequences are tragic.
Here we go again. That unsolveable mystery will make the rounds online, lasting at least until July.
*** If you need to dispose of a body. I will show up with a shovel and garbage bags.***
OMG. I can’t ever picture using these words to tell my children how much I love them.
No wonder Brian Laundrie ended up becoming an abusive murderer growing up in that family. I love my children too, but I’m not going to cover up evil acts committed by them out of some misguided sense of love.
We had a woman two houses away from where I grew up who’s son, about 9 or 10 years old, was beating up the other boys in the neighborhood, stole their bikes, other things, was a little terror and all she ever said when confronted with this information by mothers of these boys was ‘My Johnny would never do that’.
It is WHY Johnny did that.
A permissive parent.
That letter was written by a distraught mother who dearly loved her son. She also realized that his situation was hopeless.
Lots of dirty laundrie.
meh. my husband always says we have a large yard and he has a shovel in reference to people that annoy him. Doesn’t mean he’d actually bury someone in our yard.
She might not have known “what would transpire” but she provided a pretty strong nudge toward murder. She must have been jealous of the girlfriend.
As they say, “Friends help you move, real friends help you move bodies…”

Accessory before-the-fact
An accessory before-the-fact is someone who did anything to encourage, aid, or assist in any material manner in the commission of a crime, thereby “participating in the design of the crime.” See Johnson v. State, 290 So. 3d 1232 (Miss. 2020).
The basic elements the government must demonstrate to prove that a defendant was an accessory before-the-fact are: (1) someone committed the underlying crime; (2) the defendant advised and agreed, urged the parties, or in some way aided them to commit the offense; and (3) the defendant was not present when the offense was committed. See Evans v. State, 145 So. 3d 674 (Miss. 2014).
The quantity of the aid is immaterial and may come through some intermediary. The aid or counsel may be far removed in time from the commission of the crime, although it must be shown to have retained some relationship to it by causing, encouraging, or assisting the offense.
An accessory before-the-fact is as liable as a principal actor and may be indicted without regard to whether the principal has been convicted. One can be indicted as an accessory before-the-fact even if the accessory does not have the capability to perform the crime.
