I'm in a slight bubble, the nearest is a few blocks away. They seem to congregate up near the University, and a few other areas.
I say put him in prison with the general population. Child molesters/killers are the scum and low lives in prison. They are the lowest of the low. They will be either badly or dead.
If the authorities dont the citizens will start- People who molest and kill children dont get better. Jesus may forgive their souls if they ask, but although I'm christian, I'm not Jesus ( Sorry God, I really am trying but I dont have this ability) . The predators are definitely old testament treatment in my opinion. Kill a child, you should die. Torture a child, you should die. Treat these violent offenders as rabid dogs. For anyone on the thread who thinks its dehumanizing to make that statement, they dehumanized themselves when they made the decision to commit the abomination towards a child. I LOVE pretty much everyone, but I also HATE evil.
Might surprise a lot of folks.
My question would be: Was the girl going to the Library to use the chat function?
They seem to think so. Apparently she didn't have a computer in her home. I'm not sure what went wrong here, but I've also been told that kids under 12 are supposed to have an adult (over 18) with them if they use the library computers. So, either the adult didn't pay attention to what she was doing, OR there wasn't an adult and the library let her use the computers anyway. I think the library is going to take some heat from this.
Oh, but they all deserve killing, don't they? Painful, slow execution. They must die screaming, right, to satisfy you?
I must say, you sure seem to side with them.
What in the hell is happening.
This seems to be an epidemic on a pandemic scale.
I hope this guy gets the dullest needle they have on death row.
I believe the Library is just a couple of blocks from the apartments.
Which Ron Davis is running for the Senate?
Is it the one who sells insurance?
“In my 24 years as a prosecutor, I have never, ever been involved in a case that was quite as atrocious, heinous and as cruel as to what happened to this little girl,” Kuykendall said. “We intend to seek the death penalty on this.”
I must say, you sure seem to want them all killed.
And the problem with that is....?? We know they do not "improve" and they ARE going to re-offend. What would YOU have us do with them? Have them babysit our kids?
One of the earliest stories said Jamie had to go get some keys of some kind to get in the library. Any ideas what that was about?
Not that it matters now - I think this monster probably got her as she was coming home. Just wondering about the guy at the library in the Tahoe. Underwood wouldn't have had TX plates.
And BTW, I found no priors for him, not even a traffic ticket. Nor for his immediate family or his friend Chris - just some felonies and prison time for Chris's brother.

Jamie’s aunt, Linda Chiles of Guthrie, said that to get to the apartment where Jamie’s family lives, one has to walk by Underwood’s apartment.“We were sitting outside his patio door the entire time,” Chiles said. “The fact that the family sat there for three days is probably the reason he was not able to get that body out of the apartment. We don’t know what condition her body is in [but] she has been killed. She’s gone.”
Chiles said that the family is distraught.
“That guy took a life that had just begun,” she said. “Her daddy is not going to walk her down the aisle. She’s not going to have babies. She’s not going to get married. I mean, it’s over for her, and this guy is sitting all cozy in a jail cell eating dinner right now and that’s the reality of it.”
Chiles said the family didn’t yet know when Jamie was killed.
“I don’t know if it’s a good thing to know because, honestly, we could have been sitting there at the very moment he killed her and that’s an awful thing to think about.”
Let us presume that the suspect is actually the perpetrator.
With continual advances in forensics, this was a stupid move on his part unless he completely dismembered the body in a remote location, destroyed all tools and items used before, during, and after the commission of his crimes, and disposed of the remains in such a way that they would not be found. As it is, a few drops her blood on any of his clothes, a few strands of her hair at his apartment, a broken fingernail in his car, any of the above would place her in his company - the company of a person she did not have a connection with and who typically did not have access to her.
This poor girl doesn't need to be alive to tell the world what happened to her; the evidence left on her body and at the crime scene will do that for her.
Further, he compounded his own sentence by murdering her.
SO YEAH, FRY THE BASTARD.
http://www.amber-net.org/amberstatutes.htmTexas laws regarding activation:
§ 411.355. Activation
(a) On the request of a local law enforcement agency, the department shall activate the alert system and notify appropriate participants in the alert system, as established by rule, if:
(1) the local law enforcement agency believes that a child has been abducted;
(2) the local law enforcement agency believes that the abducted child is in immediate danger of serious bodily injury or death;
(3) the local law enforcement agency confirms that an investigation has taken place that verifies the abduction and eliminates alternative explanations for the child's disappearance; and
(4) sufficient information is available to disseminate to the public that could assist in locating the child, a person suspected of abducting the child, or a vehicle suspected of being used in the abduction.
(b) The department may modify the criteria described by Subsection (a) as necessary for the proper implementation of the alert system.
If I knew how to do it without scaring my kids, I'm almost tempted to have them handwrite, sign, and date a letter saying "I would never run away from home! Please come find me!"
What else do you do? This just seems so preventable in some of these cases.
In what? 25 words or less?

Yes, I'd like to know too. What would you do with them? Specifically.
