Our little road (if you can call it that) was on National News last night — we had local news reporters along with a CNN reporter blocking our road trying to get a story. It’s still a top story  at http://www.wyff4.com today.

It seems that they were not the people we knew at all — they were using different names (except Rebecca was really the little girl’s name). Norma is in jail on $50,000 bond which she has no hope of raising. John has already been extradited back to Arizona where the kidnapping occurred.

Ken and I were oblivious to it as we were in the middle of our reunion after his trip. Charlotte was forewarned by her friends on the Abbeville County Sheriff’s department , so stayed behind closed doors.

To answer Eddie’s statement, no, these are the people at the other end of the driveway from where you are talking about. They were renting one of Charlotte’s houses. While they have 2 dogs and several cats, none of the dogs were on chains. They were in the process of moving and the animals are at the “new” place in North Carolina. We’re hoping that Rebecca’s mother will let her keep them with her as they were her animals.

I’ve just seen 3 more unmarked police-type cars go down and back up the driveway. I know Charlotte was going to be in Anderson this afternoon taking care of some business and then she was going by the jail to see Norma to find out what to do with the rest of their things that were left in the house. There is also their car and a trailer they were using to move with that need to be taken care of.

Poor Charlotte — she’s trying to re-rent that house, but has so much going on right now, it’s like a two-penny novel. I’m glad that I’m just an onlooker.

That’s all for now.

Love to all
