Today I still
think of the abduction as the search goes on for the missing girl. I baked
cookies and took them to the fire station in Dayton, the least I could do. I
felt like the whole town of Dayton should be
covered in yellow crime scene tape. The town is crawling with police
officers, agents, and news media. I still feel like I am in this fog. It seems more like watching a bad movie. Today I
left my television off. Each day there is a little more to the story,
more information, more leads. Everytime I hear this new info. My mind goes
back to the girls, to the suspect. Questions whirl in my brain, what was the man thinking, why did he take them, what
was he planning, where did they go, what did he do with the missing girl, why,
why why? I can’t get it out of my brain. I heard that the man kidnapped two little 3 year olds back in 1992 and left them in a dumpster, today one of those girls was searching for Kathlynn. Today was busy, after baking cookies I mowed, Elaine and Terji came by
afterschool . Elaine stayed with the kids while I had to make a run to Boone, get some
grocery items, and take meals out to the field in Dayton. In driving back home
through Dayton I noticed purple ribbons all over wrapped around trees. Purple was
Kathlynn’s favorite color. It made me feel so sad, sad for the family. The thought went through my mind, it could have been Jayden.
Terji and Elaine stayed with the kids. They are such wonderful people, genuinely caring
christians. The kids loved their time with them. They ate hot dogs out on
the deck, played ball, showed them special photos and drawings. At 9:30 I
finally had to make the kids get to bed. Mark has been in the field sun up and
plans to go into the wee hours of the night. There is rain in the forecast and we have so much corn yet to plant. I know he is tired but he pushes on.
