Darn how sad. I used to live in Contra Costa County, I worked at a Bobs Big Boy if you can believe that. I did a lot of other stuff too.
Welcome back to your real world, girl! You are loved.
Orson, if they are as guily as it seems, would you help me hack them up, and keep your mouth shut?
Amazing...after all that time...well, finally there must be some closure for the family and friends of this young lady.
One can only imagine what this girl has been through for 18 years!!!! What an amazing story, it is a miracle that she is alive.
I am surprised that anyone at Cal Berkeley noticed someone "acting strange", after all people lived in trees around the football stadium for years.
Heard a blurb on NPR this morning that the male who was arrested has said that when the whole story comes out, we will all be impressed. What a sick bastard!!! I'll be praying for Jaycee, she will need all the help she can get.
For Jaycee, her two daughters by this sicko, and her family: May you all be together and get through this and have a happy life. Listening to Jaycee's stepfather made me cry.
I say burn him
Thanks for quoting CNN; I just don't know where I would have found out about that elsewhere. So glad you're here on the homefront.
