Call America’s top cops and inside edition portraying it not there fault!!! Lol. Downey and honsel found somebody to help them plead there lies. Wish these clowns they get to speak on these shows would portray the theivery involved by the county/sheriff’s Dept. That’s really what it’s about!!!!! Hope this guy reappears safe and sound!!!!
I sure hope you never need any help from the Sheriff’s Department. I think they are doing a damn fine job considering the size of our county, and only a few officer’s to patrol it. I also pray that the missing man will be found safe and sound.
This about a missing person I know. This is not where you need to drop that kind of crap. [edit]
Lets focus on finding Elijah.
Disgusting… not just a catchy name for you obvoulsy
Myself in this situation would find a driver and a walker. One to drive between pull outs and another to walk between the pull outs. That is how they found my friend and his companions. It was a stormy night and Elijah may have driven off the road. Don’t wait any longer. Plan to do this while the weather is dry.
299 from Willow Creek to the coast was a very dangerous drive on Saturday morning. I believe Liz’s idea is a rational way to look for this guy.
thats a good idea, i volunteer but not available until sunday and monday, probably to late but still, i volunteer
Good news! So glad to know he was located.
Mistaken Identity…..Elijah is still missing
