I know you're not asking me, but I grew up with the name being spelled Shawn before I ever heard of Sean. It might be a regional thing (or not). I see it spelled both ways frequently enough. IMHO people are trying too hard to understand why in hindsight (which is 20/20) none of us were able to figure out that the boy called "Shawn Devlin" from Kirkwood was one and the same as Shawn Hornbeck from Richwood.
I think that is what forums like this are for...discussing things like this..right??
But, asking the question I asked..COULD be a question that the authorities in charge of looking for kidnapped people MIGHT use as a reason to check out any and all posts on a blog with a derivation of the victim's name.
I would think that any questions we bring up can be used as a way to possibly point out things that could be used in the future.
I think if a child of mine was kidnapped...any kind of discussions that could perhaps yield a question or answer that I or the authorities hadn't thought of...would be welcome.
But..I get the hint guys....everything I have typed on this thread has bothered someone....so I am outta here.
