Sad outcome to say the least. Maybe now, as this community has come together as one voice around this tragedy, we can stand together against ALL crimes in the community. It is time for us all to take back our town.

Here ya go. Thanks to the MD sex offender registry allowing this to happen. All registered sex offenders need tighter restrictions. Once a sex offender, always a sex offender. This BS law only being allowed to register for 10 years then you dont have to is BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I say register for LIFE!. You messed a life up, so you should have to register for life.

I have watched and read the updates and when I heard that she was found I was shocked and was hopping that she was alive. But as soon as they reported that she was found dead I was devistated. It is very tragic that she didn't get to spend Christmas day with family and for three days she did not have the warmth and comfort of them. All I have left to say is R.I.P Sarah...

it's unimaginable that someone could do this to an innocent 11 yr old girl. it is absolutely the worst crime a human being could commit, and if/when he is convicted i think the punishment should fit the crime. i hope he suffers immensely...

Thanks to over 3,000 citizens covering areas to free up Law Enforcement Officers to cover new ground and finally bring this to a close. There were people from Easton and Hurlock on my team, and I heard some from 2 hours away who gave up their Christmas for this family"s little girl. I am so proud of all who came to help, and stood ready to brave the elements tomorrow if necessary.

>>>Sarah's younger sister told police she saw the girl leave the bedroom with the man they knew as "Tommy," according to police and court documents. Leggs, who works in his family's custom cabinet business, recently dated the girl's aunt, who is the guardian for Sarah and two of her siblings, Wendlandt said. Another relative discovered Sarah missing in the morning, he said.

Leggs knew the family kept a spare key under a pot on the porch of the home, according to court documents.
.......
According to charging documents, Fothergill dated Leggs "for a short period of time a month or so ago and ... Leggs just stopped contacting her." Fothergill told police that she knew that Leggs was a registered sex offender.

Reached by phone Thursday night, Fothergill passed the phone to a sheriff's deputy who said that she declined to comment. Court records indicate that she sued her sister for unpaid child support for Sarah and five other children in February 2008.
http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bal-salisbury-missing-girl1225,0,2414688.story?page=2

So the aunt/guardian knew Leggs was a pervert, knew he knew where the key to the house was, and was conveniently "asleep" when Sarah left willingly with Leggs, and didn't even know she was missing until "another family member" found her gone the next morning?
This is the quality of foster care the child protective services bureaucracy oversees?
And you posters have sympathy for this family?
who exactly--the inattentive sex0offender dating aunt, the unfit mother of six who had them taken away from her, or the jailbird father of the girl who clearly wasn't contributing much to her life?
the foster parent/aunt who "dated' this dog leggs in the home with a budding ekleven year old should be held responnsible for child endangerment, at best--without her knowing ly "dating" a child molester this would never have happened.
She enabled the pervert access to this easily manipulated child who went with Leggs without making enough of a fuss to wake up the custodial aunt?
Why are these sordid details being kept from the l;ocal reporting?

RIP SARAH FOXWELL! You were truely loved by everyone, even people in the community who didn't even know you. My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to sarah, family and friends.
What I don't understand is why this man was not still in jail where he belongs? Everyone wonders why the crime rate is so high in Wicomico County, let alone all over the U.S. Obviously punishment towards any convicted suspect committing any crime should not be let off easy AT ALL. The world will just keep getting worse if actions aren't taken...

I haven't cried like this since my father died 24 years ago. I can't stop thinking what she must have gone through at the hands of this evil and perverted sicko. I only hope to God the judicial system doesn't let this monster off with anything less than the maximum penalty.

My thoughts are prayers are with the family at this time.

A BIG, heartfelt thank you to Sheriff Lewis, all the other LE officials involved, and to everyone who showed up this morning to help in the search, supplied food and water, and helped in other ways.

A special thanks to Joe for keeping us informed and up to date via Salisbury News. I can't say I'm surprised. It's why I turn to this blog multiple times a day every day. Thanks for your hard work and dedication, Joe.

Jack K Richards said...

Would like to thank you, Joe and all the LEOs, volunteers, etc and their familys for taking the time from this Christmas Season to solve this horrific crime. Hopefully this will open the eyes of the judicial system a bit and these predators will not be permitted to prowl the streets.

When I come to the end of the road

And the sun has set for me,

I want no tears in a gloom-filled room,

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little – But not for long

And not with your head bowed low,

Remember the love that we once shared,

Miss me – But let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take,

And each must go alone,

It’s all a part of the Master’s plan

A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart

Go to your friends that we know,

And bury your sorrows in doing good works,

Miss me – But let me go.

Another innocent victim of liberalism. The system is more concerned about protecting the rights of this pereverted criminal than protecting society from him because that's what makes the slimy lawyers rich. This monster should have been stripped of his rights the first time and treated from then on like the souless animal that he is. There should be no expensive trial at the taxpayers expense in a case like this. Go to jail, go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200. Why waste another dollar on this useless bastard?
The system has failed this innocent little girl (and plenty more like her). IF it doesn't fail again, he will get his just reward in prison. If not, it's time for an old-fashioned lynching. This community will not forget you Sarah. You have found your way home where you can rest safely now with no more worries, pain or tears. RIP

Hopefully the inmates wherever this bastard goes will do him in. Nothing is too harsh for this sick man. I hope they beat him till he begs to die.

Safe in God's arms...RIP Sarah...you've taken a small piece of each of us with your precious soul. Merry Christmas Babygirl....

i was out there this morning and walked through stuff i didnt think was walkable and so did 30 other people that were with us, but to see the amount of people that put their christmas on the back burner for this little girl was just mindblowing. I think mike lewis and everyone else in charge of this whole thing did a phenomenal job in handling this case. I know im gonna repeat whats already been said but we need more police officers like mike, with his determination and persistance in this case. Thank you mike. Sarah, you will be missed and always loved to no end. R.I.P.

Firstly, I would like to offer my condolences to Sarah's family. I can't imagine your pain.

I would also like to Thank all law enforcement agencies involved in the search effort for Sarah. All agencies gave an outstanding effort, and went above and beyond the call of duty to bring this little one home alive. The volunteer effort that turned out, truly unbelievable. I am so sorry that it didn't turn out the way we'd all hoped.

Lastly, I hope that Davis Ruark is looking at the family and all of Sarah's "caregivers" closely. She was failed on so many levels by those who were supposed to love and protect her. May charges be filed as appropriate.

RIP, Sarah.

God bless each of every person who participated in the search, provided food and water, said a prayer, etc.

You know 6:51 is absolutley RIGHT, the custodian of that child Amy is just as guilty as that animal that took that child. How desperate of a woman is she? To have allowed A CONVICTED HIGH RISK TICKING TIME BOMB LIKE HIM in her life. She is too blame for letting him in their home and leaving those children for him to prey upon that night she needs to be right up there at 411 Naylor Mill with him . She allowed him to be in thier lives. This is so sad to write about I know , and I dont know that woman I am so angry and I have been so heart broken about it ever since I heard the 1st of it , but you know it is what it is and that woman is just as responsible for that child being taken as that SICK SICK ANIMAL and now to know there are more of his victims out there ..

There is no peace....
by Pamela Prentiss-Harrison



The night falls gentle upon the earth, but hard within the heart of a terror-filled child.

There is no peace this night
but a sentry-like awareness of
every noise, every movement
within the house.

A silent prayer is taken upon the wings of the mourning dove who waters the ground below with its tears watching puddles form where each drop lands forming a new ocean of sorrow.

There is no peace this night.

The tender child draws itself
into a tiny ball as if to disappear
... footsteps are heard in the hall
"please no" is whispered, "please go" is prayed

as the doorknob quietly turns.
There is no peace this night.

The dove soars higher, shaking sobs within its breast penetrating clouds, gliding on wind seeking its source looking for the Light
knowing there will be no peace this night.

The shadow falls across clenched fists, tousled curls, drawn up limbs, eyes squeezed shut

against the scene about to unfold
scarcely breathing, knowing there is no peace this night.

Feverishly winging toward the rainbow of light and celestial destination, the dove contracts and gasps with the pain of its little charges' spirit and delivers the message To the being of Light & Beauty who swoops down to grasp the hand of the child
and deliver its pain to another dimension to be stored until the child is stronger and able to face the reality of evil on the earth.

The angel cradles her charge,
gently rocking, while tears stream down her face...mixing with the silent tears of the child.

The dove quietly sings its grievous song of mourning
for the lost innocence of this precious tot.

There is no peace this night.

The real statistics are that one in three children will be sexually assaulted at some point in their lives.

I pray that the loss of Sarah's innocence and life is a wake up call to this County and State that we have a REAL evil issue on our hands and that the system needs to be hardened immediately to protect our innocent.

TJ is a dirtbag and will get his. And yes apparently it will come out soon enough the key was under a pot that he knew about and yes she knew he was a sex offender. And yes everyone is knowing she has more to do with this than what is being portryed. Amy your day will come before God if not before a judge I totally agree that she should be charged with child endangerment! And to the friend taking up for her u think u know these people but u have no idea of the drug abuse, molesting, and lots of unfortunate things happening to these children she was just collecting their money. A parent/guardians job is to protect your children by any means and knowingly inviting this bastard into the home with children is sickening. This family and other sex offenders needs to have justice brought down on them. NOW there is no need to feel sorry for her dead beat a++. She probley agreed to let Tj have the little girl for a night in exchange for her dope thinking he was just going to molest her and instead he took her life! I hope and know they will all get what they deserve and I know when the truth comes out about her involvement then the community will be heart broke again!!!!! To Little precious Sarah u will never be forgotten and enjoy your life without pain or fear anymore and flap those georgous wings and be free darling be free. We will have a memorial in our yard and somewhere in Salisbury for u honey may god bless you and everyone who had the heart to get involved to help her.

This is simply one of the most heinous crimes ever committed in Salisbury!
This adorable innocent child snatched from life. Lawmakers take note; You are more concerned with the criminal’s rights than the rights of our children and citizens. This despicable crime should have never have happened in the first place! What can we do, as concerned citizens, to prevent this from ever happening again? I hope Sarah’s death was not in vain. I will never celebrate another Christmas without thoughts of this innocent child! Rest now sweet Sarah Fowell; you are in God’s safe care now.

I agree that 8:02 will feel stupid. The mother needs to go to rehab and get herself straightened out...have her reproductive organs removed so she doesn't have more than the 7 children she already has..... the entire family needs serious therapy- quickly!!! Just like the Leggs family.
Most importantly are the children. The schools need to have something set up to have grief and trauma counselors on site for as long as needed. Can we set up something for volunteers for that?

I live in Virginia, and I know that Maryland had a moratorium on the death penatly, and I hope to GOD (even though I don't really believe in him) that it has been repealed. People like this guy, providing, of course, that he is guilty, should be killed not because it will deter others, not because it is cheaper or not as cheap as a life in prison term, and certainly not because some do-gooder carrying a book and ordaining themself as the representative of some cosmic referee who determines what is moral and then collects money (tax free) from people for the privelege of believing in some ancient rhetoric says it is ok: he should be killed because it is the right thing to do based on common sense and because, after winter break,a little girl's desk at her middle school will be empty when it wouldn't have been if somebody had had the guts to put her killer in the ground long before now.

Folks turn you finger around and point at yourself when you say the punishment does not fit the crime. We all need a peaceful rally to let our legislators no we do not accept this kind of behavior in our area where most of us pay our taxes. Lets all pull together next year and try to change this. The bible says the end time will be rough but we can minimize this behavior as being acceptable. Talk on forums till your last breath it wont change a damn thing.

Wow... so overwhelmed with emotion. Everyone did such an outstanding job in the search for Sarah. It's a shame that such a horrible crime was what brought this community together. As a mother I can seriously say that I don't think I could be held responsible for what I would do to this sick bastard if he would hurt one of my babies. I agree with many of the other posts that the law needs to focus more on protecting the lives of innocent victims than on the criminals. I hate to even think about what this poor little girl had to face in her final hours. It breaks my heart and leaves me feeling ill. I know people say that everything happens for a reason, but when something like this happens it just doesn't make any sense. God bless little Sarah.

Unfortunately this is not the most heinous crime to every happen here. In the late 70s a drifter from California came to the area. He abducted two young boys and kept them in an abandoned church off Johnson Road. He tortured them before killing them. We cannot let this happen to another child.

Tears, tears, and more tears for Sarah. And such anger that this could have been prevented. The judicial system failed to protect her and the other victims from this animal.

Very proud of everyone who volunteered during the search, especially for the law enforcment officers that stayed past their assigned shifts and gave up time with their families to help.

RIP Sarah - Enjoy your wings You are truly safe now

I have always felt that we humans have no judgement in whether another should be punished by death for their murderous wrongs. Right now, however, I am starting to feel opposite of that belief. If he, like others as him, is allowed to live, they would surely take out everyone in their path. They may need to die to protect others.

However, all I know is that Thomas J. Leggs Jr.'s fate will be decided by God through his people. When he dies, by the power of the people, then it will definitely be what God desires.

Of course his multiple charges were placed on the stet docket. Everything in this county is either placed on the stet docket or PBJ or nol prossed. Even somebody with a criminal history gets his offenses on the stet docket so he can commit more crimes. Maybe Davis Ruark can explain why 90% of the cases wind up with the criminal not even being tried.

8:42 like i said I knew the aunt I DON'T have to broaden any of my reading. I know the situation personally and She DID NOT know this jackass. Sometimes things get printed that are only half truths so DON"T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ.....GOT IT!!!!! When you know the parties involved and the situation that takes precedence over news media

I lived in Salisbury/Delmar and just moved away. I heard about Sarah on Facebook from a posting from some "friends". I have held on to hope that Sarah would be found. My Christmas was overshadowed by the news of her death. I am so upset and emotional about this. I have an 11 year old..it touches home. I pray for Sarah and her family and hope the Tommy guy gets everything that is coming to him. SHAME ON YOU!! This sweet angel will never know lifes wonders!!!
