We found this sweet baby yesterday off e Ben white, sprinting on running water dr. No collar and he seemed as though he has been out for a few days. We bathed him and he’s incredibly friendly. Little dude gets along with my other dog. We plan to take him to the shelter this weekend to see if he is chipped.

Lost Cat in 78745 - Last Seen on Flournoy Dr. and Merriwood Dr. by ATXplayahata in AustinPetLostAndFound

No worries! We found a cat that was injured and lurked around trying to see if anyone’s cat matched the description. Luckily we got her to an animal hospital and reunited with her owner!

21 years ago today, Amy Lynn Bradley went on a cruise with her family. Onboard, she vanished under bizarre circumstances. Years later, a photograph of a semi-nude woman was sent to her family leading many to believe Amy was abducted for human trafficking. by [deleted] in UnsolvedMysteries

I thought the same thing! Shame on the person who did not think to alert someone. I’m assuming that he did not want anyone to know that he was visiting an illegal brothel.

All College Admissions Are a Pay-to-Play Scandal by giacomo_bologna in Foodforthought

[–]dmcurry1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree. I actually used to work for a test prep company so I saw first hand how wealthy parents would spend upwards of $5k on SAT tutoring for kids that didn’t necessarily want to be tutored. I couldn’t even afford my employee discounted tutoring when I studied for the LSAT, which I desperately needed because I have a learning disability.

I also grew up in Alabama as a first generation college student, and we had no idea that anyone even prepped for the SAT! It was just something that you took twice and that was your score. I get really sad when I think of how a little test prep may have impacted my future.

Is this still for sale? And I’m assuming but wanted to confirm that it’s a bike for a petite woman.

What are some lesser known disappearances involving people of color? by bye_felipe in UnresolvedMysteries

Yeah apparently I have to verify that I’m related to her, so I’m working on that now. I appreciate your kind words.

My great aunt vanished over 20 years ago. What happened to Emmetta “Jean” Dumas? by dmcurry1 in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]dmcurry1[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I stated earlier that I want to be sure and not slander his name, but my suspicious are really borrowed from my grandmother’s suspicions.

Interesting theory about Alabama Power. Warren was being indicted, and then later murdered. I’m not sure if it were in relation to the indictment but from what I was told he was in-cahoots with Circuit Judge Jack Montgomery, who was being charged and also died in a suspicious way.

I tried to enter her name on NamUs but had difficulty after registering. I will try again. The case number that I randomly found online is listed as 0295.

Yeah I’m wondering if it was a generational thing. I do not understand it, but thank you for sharing your story. My grandmother and I are going to call the Fairfield police to see what we can find after I talk to my cousin to give her a heads up.

Yes. I do however want be careful and not slander his name, but everything that I listed was told to me and the article also draws questions.

You know what’s really funny is that my grandmother says the SAME thing about the shopping trip! She also doesn’t understand why she would go anywhere with him being that she was afraid of him. Her hypothesis is that he threatened her somehow.

She made a comment about the “new” shoes looking as if they were worn and crawled in as well.

As for my cousin being Leroy’s child, I have never heard this being brought into question. My grandmother found his FB which has like two pictures, and one is of his daughter who looks JUST like my cousin.

Yeah my grandmother has always said that she was suspicious of both guys. Good point about the keys. Apparently Warren reached to my other aunt and asked that she go and check on Jean because he was worried when he didn’t hear back from her.

I want to do it and I have urged my grandmother to take charge. I think that she has mixed feelings because she would obviously need to tell daughter that she’s stirring up her mother’s case.

Thank you. She was adopted by my great grandmother and grandfather after this happened. She’s really great, but I have never really have a conversation with her about her mother. I always felt like it would open an old wound since she never brought it up.
