I think what most of us here who are not related to Alice or Samantha know in our hearts is this:...you have two escaped convicts caught on video kidnapping a woman...they are caught and yet we can not get a sinlge word from them on there Alice nor Samantha is....

is anyone else here with me when I say that in these cases extraordinary measures were called for?.

.that either sodium pentathal or torture might have been used to get one of these evil, evil men to point the cops in the right direction?.

.afterall..the women could have still been alive, and here we sit, feeding and clothing these monsters...

funny yet poignant movie...a favorite or our family, is "Guarding Tess" about a secret service detail guarding an former Presidents's widow....its a love/hate relationship...but, the widow gets kidnapped, buried alive, and once the main SS guy figures out that she will be dead unless the perp talks, he risks it all and shoots off the toe of the perp...infront of his boss...and threatens to shoot them all off....

well, well, the perp talks and the widow is found, barely alive....

it may not sound nice and pretty but situations like these demand more action than just feeding and clothing the perps....

Well said, cherry. "Guarding Tess" is a favorite of ours, too. I have a whole new understanding now of Doug's anxiety and the raw emotion that led up to his forcing the kidnapper to reveal where Tess was.

Cascadians, thank you for again sharing PL's words. She is so perceptive and thoughtful to give us her insights; she puts the feelings into words so well.

Alice has drawn us together, and she has become part of all of our lives. This thread is the first thing I check every morning when I turn on the computer, the one I return to again and again throughout the day, and the last thing I read before shutting down the computer each night.

How I pray that Alice and Samantha will be found soon, and that justice will be served to those responsible. I will keep praying for strength and comfort for PL and Barry and the rest of their family, as well as Samantha's family. I pray for Alice and Samantha, too, but in my heart I feel that they are beyond suffering now. But they still need to be brought home to their families.

One would think that in cases where there is ample video footage of a criminal in action, that the law would allow for things such as truth serum. I wondered this same thing (post 1109), and still wonder why our laws protect those commiting evil actions moreso than the innocents that laws should protect.
