The mother of a missing college student on Thursday said she believes a body found in a wooded area is her daughter.
"The body found is most likely my baby's," Taylor Behl's mother, Janet Pelasara, said at a news conference of her home in Viena, Va.
A task force investigating Behl's disappearance found a decomposed body in rural Mathews County Wednesday _ one month after the 17-year-old Virginia Commonwealth University freshman vanished. The body was found in a grave off a dirt path that led from one of the county's roads into a heavily wooded area.
That's about the most unconscionable thing I've seen written on FR. As somebody who just had a friend murdered last week, let me be the first to say that your comment is disgusting.
I'm so sorry. While I didn't expect it, I wanted to see her return home alive.
Honestly, preview is your friend. No "but if" excuses this.
Can you explain how whether or not the mother is a liberal has anything to do with the apparent murder of her daughter? As a mom of an 18 year old daughter who is off at college my heart breaks for this woman.
Based on what? Has she seen the body, the personal effects, dental records match, what?
Don't, like, give out any information, "journalists."
What a cruel thing to say...No one deserves that kind of grief.
Well, the mom says she wants the person who did this to receive the death penalty. She can't be all that liberal. But right now is the time to draw along side of her in her grief. I don't care what her political beliefs are. She is a mother who has lost her only child.
Plenty of reasons to attack liberal idiology. . .but this instance or moment is not one of them. . .IMHO.
In theory, we should execute them over 90 days.
There's nothing I can see to suggest that the mother is an ACLU type,so the poster has very possibly jumped to conclusions.
But let me ask you this:how would you feel if the poster was commenting on a story in which Johnny Cochran's daughter was murdered after OJ's not guilty verdict?
"I just heard her news conference and she said something like, she can't comprehend the kind of person who would do something like this - sounded like a liberal who doesn't think people are evil."
Huh? I can't comprehend people being this evil, that doesn't mean I don't think they are.
"I deeply regret this girl's death but if her mom is an ACLU liberal, It's about time they feel the grief the rest of the country has had to endure because of her kind ..."
I don't think many of us have had to endure our own children's brutal murders due to ACLU liberals. Is that a sick joke or are you pretending to be a conservative in a lame attempt to make us all look like vile idiots?
That's just an update. It's been all over the local news here (I'm in Richmond).
The former girlfriend of the "person of interest" identified pictures of the property that the guy had taken. There's a lot of reason to suspect this is Taylor, but they haven't confirmed it.
Police will hold a news conference in about an hour.
I'm outside Richmond, in Powhatan....heard on the news that the clothes found at the sight of the body matched what Taylor was last seen wearing.
How tragic for this family. My 2 sons go to VCU and my daughter will go in 2 years. I will worry about my daughter so much........our children just aren't safe anywhere anymore.
Thanks for the additional information. I assumed they had some reason to believe it's Taylor's body, other than that she's missing, but the articles that have been posted haven't said much.
Now find the animal who did this and put him down!
