Yes we have some freepers who THINK they can read a person so well! (it is sickening to see posts like those on FR.)

I agree. This story is a fabrication. New Mexico... hmmm? Probably abducted by aliens (of either kind) and replaced by spy/scout.

That irratates the hell out of me. An inner city kid goes missing and it gets page B12 coverage for a day.

That's what I'm thinking, it's wonderful that she's ok. But this story is still weird and I'm sure there are aspects that we will never know. And I still find the fiance creepy, regardless.

How is it possible that I posted a thread 20 seconds after I saw the live Foxnews info (at 3:00 AM) and it gets pulled because there is a duplicate thread? Freerepublic is amazing ----

That's a fact. Remember this? This goes to your thought that FR is amazing.

Freepers are people who post to a rather interesting bulletin board service called Free Republic. A lot of my blogging friends know about them, but surprisingly enough, not very many of them view them as a news source they visit frequently. I think the Freepers are an essential element in gathering news. If you go in with the right mindset, and know what you are looking for, it can be a goldmine of information.

Hugh Hewitt has often called freepers the Coast Watchers of the new media. When news happens, either in print, on radio, or on television, someone will post a link, and much of the meat of the story, as the beginning of a thread. Within minutes, if the story is juicy enough, just like flies, freepers all over will descend on the story and give their two cents worth.

Here's where the discernment of the person surfing has to come in. There are saboteurs who will immediately try to spin the story, especially if it's political, and there will be people from every walk of life taking their shots until the end of the thread takes the original picture the story paints and turns it into a Picasso.

I have a Daughter near her age and I cannot imagine what her parents have been through this past week.

All I can say is that God answered their prayers.

It was the bride-to-be angle that they went with.

Cutting her hair would disguise what she looked like. I hope that was all that was done to her.

I'm just glad for her family's sake that she has been found. There's plenty of time to get to the bottom of it all.

The abductors were talking about demanding a ransom but got scared!

Hmmmmm? Just because people post here - that doesn't mean they are "FReepers". I wish people would figure that out.

It does to me. Am I not entitled to my opinion? I could be proven wrong, and I'll gladly accept that. But I said the Utah clown who's wife went missing seemed fishy & I was right.

Her family are laughing and are heading to New Mexico per Fox News!

The father of the boy is on Fox now. He IS very happy. I'm glad I was wrong thinking this son was a little odd. Thank God the girl is well.

It's the FAMILY who takes it to the media not who the person abducted is. Fox News will let anyone on!
