Can't say much, will know more Monday but in the article linked above:

“We're extremely optimistic that we're going to solve this...it's been a sad, sad week,” said Lt. Brett Farrar of the Lakewood Police Dept.

They're a little more than "extremely optimistic"! Just got the news. Wish I could say more!

I can't even imagine how sad that service must have been.

Good idea how the FBI watched the crowd. I sure hope the news is good and that they finally caught the person. Looking for more news when you can provide it.

"Every place I've been a phone call to 911 from a pay phone is free. All pay phones are supposed to be set up for this, cell phones too. Tuck"

My bad, i stand corrected.

They found the guy they wanted to question, but he was handcuffed in the back of a cruiser. Don't usually see that from someone they just want info from. Oh, and the Chief never showed up, still waiting on news from that one.

i like you, man, but i HATE opening this post. it started with bad news...it got worse, and now i am hoping for consolation good news. this thread hurts me.

Its wierd, all is quiet after the arrest. They did arrest the guy they said they only wanted for questioning. I'm starting to think they lied to protect him. Saying he was in jail so he didn't get lynched. The chief of police was supposed to talk to the mother on Monday, but he never showed up and still hasn't.

The police have a man in custody for questioning. They aren't calling him a suspect yet and have said they are looking at "a few" more men. This guy is a transient, he hangs out in the area she was found, he is a convicted sex offender, and was at the apartment after she went missing. Why is that last part important?

When I was in 8th grade my Principals daughter was murdered at work. The guy who did it came to the house the next day (he killed her during the night - they were night workers at a Safeway store). He brought food for the family for at least a week. That has stuck in my head all these years.

So when Adreanna went missing, I told my wife to make sure and pay attention to who visits in the next few days. I told her to tell the cops about all the visitors. They didn't listen.

This is a guy the mother befriended and she even fed him a few times.

It is a true, and icky fact about criminals of that ilk. Arsonists, too. They will often return to the scene of the crime or visit the victim's family to reap the benefit of seeing others in pain. Sounds like, if he is the perp, he is a true Sociopath. If so, the defense is likely to use the Insanity Plea, especially since he is a transient. If it works he won't end up dead, but it will get him locked away forever and ever, with meds that might bring him around to "normal" enough to make him realize and have to live with the horror of what he did. And that's something, at least.
