yes, she lost her daughter as well, but I Can't remember how. But my word, this woman has been through hell and back!
Her husband also died.
wow, talk about suffering! Amazing this woman can even sit and talk at all!
Thanks for clueing me in with the interview. A very long road ahead for Shawn and his parents.
Payers offered up for the families of these abused children.
I pray Shawn seeks the Lord with all his heart. Shawn's heart needs supernatural healing. I've heard of so many hopeless lives transformed through Jesus.
Anyhow, that my prayer for Shawn- and for Ben, too.
Tonight I prayed that Shawn will be able to sleep and not have nightmares anymore. Each day I have prayed for him small prayers and tomorrow I will pray for something else about Shawn.
I have prayed the same. I wake in the night and pray that he is sleeping sound with no nightmares. I pray he feels and stays safe among other things.
I have to go now. I will check back in the morning. Keep praying for Shawn, Arlins dear mama and young Ben. That mama is going to find out soon one way or the other. She needs our strength.
me to, bed time for me! God bless all the lost and hurting children.
Well if you want to know the truth from this moron just invite the Bear Defensive Front Four to have a brief talk with him in asound-proof room. I'm sure all your questions would be answered in short order. But then we're just too damned civilized to find out what really happened and allow this POS of get away with other murders!
Yes, lots of prayers for these kids and their families. Amen!
Praise the Lord that Ben and Shawn are safe and that the perp is in jail. It's nice that so many people are praying for these children.

uh...I think the Colts Front Four will do just fine....(go Peyton!)
I'm afraid it may be a long wait. According to my local news coverage, the pictures were not very sharp. Plus, with the child being aged, it may have been hard for the mother to tell. I think if she saw him in person, her heart would know. But it is different with a picture. I hope Devlin's family can try to convince him to do the decent thing, fess up, spare Shawn and Ben from testifying and spare any other parents who might be wondering.
Maybe they should release the picture to the public and someone will recognize him. I heard the mom say, if only she could see his eyes clearly. So sad for her. Perhaps they will have so much on "Devo" he will end up plea bargaining to save his life. Do they have the death penalty in MO?
I think so. That could certainly be used as a bargaining chip.

This is how this whole thing worked. Devlin hung around a bunch of guys at age 14/15. No social life....no girls because he was a geeky guy. He started working at 16 at the pizza joint. And by 20...he started to notice his geeky guys were meeting girls and getting married. They weren't always available to go party, drink, socialize or gamble. Somewhere around age 20-25...Devlin...still acting his life out at the cool age of 14 and with no maturity whatsoever...kidnapped his first boy. The boy...would be a play thing...his best buddy. Devlin had no mature mind...he was simply acting the the only good life he could remember. He went to the pizza joint for work and money....but resorted to the "buddy" for his other life. So he kidnapped kid number one.
Eventually...kid number one would leave...for whatever reason. And no...you will find that he didn't murder the kid. So he went onto kid number two...same MO...had to be around 13-14 years old. Then he moved later onto kid number three and finally kid number four. Yes...I'm betting there were a minimum of four kids kidnapped.
Same story for all...they were to be his buddies...he gave them what they needed...they provided his full life (what little there was) and things just kept going. I'm betting the older of these two kids there in the house...had been giving signals that he was going to move on...there was no future in Devlin's life. Why stay? And the kid could have walked at any point...but with this whole mess...why go back to his parents? Devlin didn't keep this kid locked up...as we will all figure out eventually. And that will lead to the long history...with several kids kidnapped and all serving the purpose of "buddy".
