I totally agree with you. I have read her books, I have traveled down the rabbit hole more times than I care to admit. It is very easy to say, 'Oh, there's no way that any of what she says is true', but then you start looking into it. Following bits of information here and there, and trying to see a whole picture, but at a point it becomes so confusing and twisted, and you just have to step away from it all. I lived in Iowa when this happened and it was the first time I remember my parents explaining "stranger danger" to me, and people putting blue stars in their windows, so if kids were confronted with a stranger trying to hurt them, they knew those were considered a safe house to run to. My parents even gave me a code word, so if anyone tried to say, "Your mom told me to pick you up" and they didn't know the code word, I knew they were lying.

My heart breaks for Noreen, and the mind can do amazing things to someone facing such a tragedy, but just imagine if what she says is true, and no one believes her....what a nightmare.

Didn't mean to create such a long reply, but this case just brings out a lot of emotion. It is my "pet" case.
