Unhappy They May Have Found Kelsey Smith

What a tragedy. If it turns out the body they found is that of Kelsey Smith, I cannot imagine the grief of the family.

Yes, unfortunately lots of other people go missing and are never the subject of the kind of coverage her case is receiving. Someone has even coined a name for it as a result of the case in Aruba two years ago, "Missing White Woman Syndrome." It is difficult to understand and so, so sad. Maybe its because I have a 24 year old daughter but I can't feel rage (yet) I feel an overwhelming sense of sadness and waste. I just can't stop repeating, "what a tragedy".

I pray for her family that the grief does not derail their lives. Just so sad.

My only child is a 20 year old female. I cant imagine what parents go through losing a child.

Pray for the family.

I was outraged as hell by this. You just know that some piece of scum raped here, and then killed her to cover up his crime. F*cking pieces of filth should be feed to lions.

Don't even get me going on those that hurt children......

I feel the same way
They should have high voltage applied to their "sensitive" spots.

Stupid question and no insensitivity meant, but who is Kelsey Smith? I'm guessing a missing persons case/presumed murder victim? Not familiar with the case.

Not to seem crass but agree with POP. Never heard of her and a google search turned up nothing...

18 year old from Kansas I think. Disappeared Saturday night leaving a Target store. Surveillance video shows her being forced into her car. Lots more details including vague video of her likely abductor - a young guy maybe 25 or so. VIdeo of the black pickup he probably drove and him driving her car away with her probably inside. FOund her body across the state line in a wooded area based on a cell phone signal. It is the leading story on MSNBC as of an hour ago. They showed video of her walking with her high school graduating class only 12 days ago. A pretty young girl with her whole future ahead of her. Dad is a 16 year cop too. Incredibly sad.

Simple: Once convicted, let the family do whatever they want to him for a couple of hours. It may not deter anything, but it might give the family some payback.

And we all know what payback is...

Too many mice, too much food, too small a cage.
I keep forgetting why capital punishment is a bad thing.
my prayers are with her family

I have an 18 y/o daughter who really is the apple of my eye. I could lose everything as long as I had her and still be fine. but if anything would ever happen to her... they say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned? they haven't met me in that instance

I know it sounds trite, but I hope the family finds peace and the perp gets everything he has coming

There is no justice anymore in this country. The perp will never ever get what he really deserves and just getting him through a trial will cost us millions. Just look at the Jessica Lunsford murderer whose confession was tossed out on a technicality and he buried her alive.

I was just going to say that they will have someone soon, and I don't even know much about the case. It's a mega-tragedy, but it's also a miracle when someone gets away with a crime that stupid and senseless.

The perpetrstor of something like this isn't worth the effort to put a single .45 shot through his head. Seriously, ANY effort spent on this...ahem.... "person" is all wasted time. Any time spent thinking about him is too much time.

Unfortunately, dealing with him and what he did AT ALL is the cost of living is a society.

I hope there is a sweet and pereptually peaceful hereafter for a young girl like that. Rest in Peace and prayers for her family.

Instead, the ****** piece of filth will end up in a prison where he gets 3 meals a day, and cable television.

Here is another abduction story, this girl was found "hidden"
in a secret room controlled by 40 year olds

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070607/ap_on_re_us/girl_found;_ylt=AjGpC6HCnK61mbPQxSywDcJH2ocA


It makes you wonder what is going through these sick, twisted
minds of the rapists and murderers. My guess is that they do not
feel any remorse or sympathy for their victims. The victims are
merely commodities for them.

It also makes you wonder how many of these perps are at large
in society, either acting on their impulses or not.

I had a good friend, very good friend from age 8 through high
school who hung out in our group every day. I knew the guy was
somewhat unbalanced, but not to the point of where he ended up
going. We all lost touch a few years after high school, and a few
years ago, this guy raped and murdered a 4 year old boy. This
shocked us all, but looking back at his personality it makes sense.
He continues to deny it, and his case has been up for appeal. my personal
hope is that they just castrate him and leave him in a stone cellar forever.
