Doesn’t look like an abduction to me. Just saying.
Lynne,
Brittany is twelve Easley is 32. He does not have legal custody of this minor, nor the consent of her parents to take her anywhere. She is not in school which he is responsible for (truancy, which I think you’re up to right now), and we haven’t even opened the can of worms if she’s had sexual contact with him.
Legally, that is abduction even had she pleaded to be taken away. He stepped outside not only legal boundaries, but ethical/moral boundaries in his poor choices.
Just sayin….
Interesting article. Discusses Tina’s last days of postings on facebook.

Tina’s Facebook wall is full of comments from devastated friends, but it’s her final posts that have Ennemoser wondering if Tina knew something was going to happen to her.
On December 2 at 9:30 p.m., Tina wrote “If I should die before I wake, God Bless my friends. May I be remembered for my good heart and hopeless romantic ways.”
Tina’s last status update was on December 3 about 1:30 p.m. She wrote, “God, please protect us from the evils of this world.”

Lynne-
Do you really expect it to look like an abduction? He probably threatened to kill others if she tried to get help. Think Elizabeth Smart. And it doesn’t matter if she wanted to go with him or not, she is a child and was kidnapped. What exactly does an abducted person look like, I am curious?
Mid-afternoon an amber alert was issued for Brittany in Alabama. They think the two of them were headed this way for some reason. My cable TV went to a black screen with that noise like the emergency broadcasting system, followed by a text crawl detailing the alert. Kinda freaked me out. I hope they find her before it is too late.

Women at one time protected children, that is in the past. Women’s Liberation have miss led women, to believe, anything they want is OK.
Sorry ladies that I voiced my opinion, but it won’t happen again. You sleuthers are much better at this forum than a novice like me. Points well taken.
Morning news today said someone in Florence, Alabama reported that they thought they had seen Jeffery Easley without Brittany.
