Perhaps we can put up a reward and take out a full-page ad in the local paper announcing it?

Just my thoughts.

Finally, just in case this thread should be deleted again, I have archived the contact information at the top of this thread and the KSEV info presented here, on the Action America web site, in the Houston Pages section (the link is near the bottom of the main Houston Pages screen).

Good suggestion although I don't know how well it reaches outside of Houston. I can't get it very clear in Alvin... But Yes, They are a good bunch of guys...

Thanks for the ping, AP.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of, and grieve for, my FRiends, Herb and Belinda Meadows and their children.

Thank you, COB1, for your "Above and Beyond the Call of Duty" efforts to solve this mystery on their, and our behalf.

Whoa check this out, bro-- from the report on other site COB1 posted--

" (Mrs.) Meadows told investigators that she and her husband Herbert watched a late night T.V. show and then she had went to bed while her husband Herbert had went into the den to work on the computer. Mrs. Meadows stated that she was in bed about 10 minutes as was not asleep when she heard a 'noise or crash'. Mrs. Meadows said the sound 'was like something going through a window'. These sounds came from the other side of the house where her husband was working. This sound was followed by loud screams. (sic)'Was like something going through a window!' She described the sounds made by her husband as 'like I never heard him scream in my life!' -----(Mrs.) Meadows reported she ran down the hall toward the dining area and was stopped by the thick black smoke in the kitchen area. ----- (Mrs. Meadows) yelled at her husband and asked him if (sic) see needed to call '911'! (Mrs. Meadows) stated that she heard a 'muffled' 'yes!' and then lost contact with Herbert Meadows. (Mrs. Meadows) told investigator that she smelled a 'bar-b-que' type odor like 'when you light a fire with charcoal lighter fluid'. (Mrs. Meadows) attempted to call for help on a phone in the house but she reported the phone was dead. (sic) Meadows went outside in the front yard and yelled for help."

BUMP FOR THE CHIEF

I know. I saw that from prior posts on this. Isn't this an awful story? I sure feel for Mrs. Meadows, for her loss.

I am wondering how they could rule accidental when 3 spots of gas were detected on the wall between the dining room and the den? Now they say the fire started on floor by an outside window? Were the "investigators" lying then or now?
