What kind of vehicle was he driving? Get a good description and put it out for us to see. Someone somewhere saw something.
good idea~
Joe, can you get a pic of his vehicle?
Joe, i have to say that you truly have covered this story better than anyone else... keep up the good work!
Joe, you posted an arrest of this guy a few months ago.
Dear God help us find this little girl tonight. Give us the strength to do whatever it takes to find her and save her.
His father is a sex offender as well...
TOTAL CREEPO, KNEW HIM THRU GRADE SCHOOL AND THRU HS AND SAW HIM BOUNCING AT SEACRETS SOME TIME AGO, TRYING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF INTOXICATED WOMEN. SICKO. WHOLE FAM IS CROOKED. AND 12:05 GO TO HELL, ERIK EMILY???? YOU ARE ON DRUGS HE WOULDN'T KILL A FLY , MAYBE YOU SHOULD STICK TO THE STORYLINE RATHER THAN WHO THE GUY LOOKS LIKE YA REDNECK.
It is 3:22 a.m. and I cannot sleep because my heart is aching for this innocent little girl and her family! I have 2 children of my own and I am definitely not one to hurt someone BUT I do have to say that if this was one of my children missing and the police have very good reason to think that this male hurt her and he wont talk....then its time to start torturing him! Something has to be done to that "animal" so Sarah can be found and her family can have relief. The law enforcement that are out there working around the clock deserve to be home with their families over the holidays too so lets do something to make him break his silence!!
He drives a Gray Ford Mustang GT around a 2004 model. Hes a real piece of shit.
if this guy did this......it's time for some neighborly justice!! I'm sick of the way the system keeps the criminal safe. Let's get him!
He drives a silver mustang
more than one prior sex offense conviction... Go thank a liberal judge for what is going on right now.
What's the word this morning?
Joe you had this post last December

I remembered it and was shocked that this man was allowed to roam freel and commit such an act again.
I have a fix for these creeps!!! Build a 3-4 million capacity prison in the middle of the Nevada desert, so escape is impossible. No air conditioning except for prison personnel. Put no doors on the cells and let these creeps do to each other what they did to their victims !!The jail will pay for itself very quickly !!!
they need to give me 5 minutes alone with this sob my god baby is missing and he wont give up where she is i will not lose hope that she comes back safe thank you to everyone that is helping and offering to help find her and any assistance to those who are searching for my baby girl
Update, please!
Any info on the charges of burglary and abduction -- when, where, witnesses?
We just heard that this guy was Sarah's mother's boyfriend. Is that what you heard also? What mother of an 11 year old girl has a boyfriend with a criminal history of sex abuse with a 12 year old girl? How dumb was that?
Release him please!!!!!!!!! We will give him a good Eastern Shore we will never see you again party.
Anything new this morning?
It amazes me how much he looks like another well known criminal, Ray Lewis.
Kind of eerie!
I usually don't hope for bad things to happen to people but for the past two days I have prayed very hard for this ANIMAL to suffer. I agree there should be a prison for these type of people to all live together as one. And I think all of Delmarva has the same thoughts of let me at him for just five minutes. TRASH always needs to be disposed of doesn't it??
