The online People Article:

Not sure if you got this one. This is an article about what Shawn missed in the last 4 yrs. Interesting and sad read.

The article you listed above, "Living With Evil"...I can not help but wonder if the loud music was done to try to cover up sounds.
"Harry Reichard lived upstairs from Devlin at the Kirkwood apartments. He says he often heard "weird sounds," like whimpering, screaming and pleading. Once, says Reichard, "it was like Shawn was trying to get [Devlin] to stop doing something." At another time, Reichard says, he heard Devlin yell, "What the f--- did you do that for, you f---ing idiot?" The shouting was followed by what sounded like a blow. There was often loud banging and blaring music, including "horrorcore" bands like Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid. "It was like a maniacal workshop," says Reichard, who thought Devlin and Shawn were having father-and-son disagreements."
Same Article, "Living with Evil"...after reading about his jailhouse interview, this stuck out at me.
"There had been hints about Devlin's private life. Some time before Shawn arrived to live with him, Laura Aguilar, another neighbor, happened to look through Devlin's street-level bathroom window. She was disconcerted to see a variety of what appeared to be sexual toys."
Thanks!! - Bookmark
And the way that have reported about the Hornbeck boy disgusting.
Thanks for the links! That "Living with Evil" article is a must-read! It just sickens me to think about what poor Shawn suffered at the hands of that cretin.
It is so sad that there were several missed opportunities for friends, neighbors, police, etc. to recognize Shawn and rescue him over the years.
Your link didn't work for me, for some reason.

My time is limited, so I'm focusing on the fact that we know he never went to school beyond the fifth grade.
Take that single thing. Then ask yourself, besides stealing a child from his family and putting them through unspeakable pain, what was going to be the end result of Devlin keeping Shawn? (And Ben was to be next in line for...whatever). A child who misses middle school and high school, IF he lives, and that to me was doubtful, has no future. A child who isn't who he and Devlin claim him to be, but is living a lie as to his identity, has no future. I'm talking about learning, a career, a history, a sense of self and of accomplishment, the ability to be lawfully employed and support oneself and a family.
Shawn was headed for some kind of dead end. I would love to be the prosecutor if this nitwit thinks he can make a jury believe that the circumstances in these two cases are defensible, non-criminal and without evil intent. I know several on here seem concerned that they can pull that off.
I don't believe Devlin and his slimey lawyers have a prayer of it, and if they think so, they're delusional.
So do I. Some of those are the kids who left the empty chair for him at 8th grade graduation.
I think if Shawn starts tutoring one and one every day through the summer he will be able to catch up and join his classmates next fall. I hope that happens!
Anyone watch Greta? She seems to have hopped aboard the downhill O'Reilly express when it comes to Shawn. Appalling.
No, I didn't see it. Who did she have on?
Did you hear about the company that's going to give the Akerses a new house? They're going to build on the same property and also make room for an office for the Foundation.

CHESTERFIELD, Mo. -- McBride and Son Homes said the ranch-style home will be built on the property where Shawn and his parents now live in Richwoods.

Warm fuzzies for McBride and Son Homes! (News conference tomorrow at 11AM.)
LOL... I heard this on the local STL News and was going to post about the new house they are getting. Glad to see someone else has also learned about it on FR.
