but now that it's past Trenton's 18th birthday the settlement bond that was set up for the suit has passed to the center for missing and exploited children
well, not that fast. Obama's visit to El Salvador was in March 2011 an d that's when I quit listening to Glenn (he went on this rant about how the US had done the right thing intervening in El Salvador in the 70s and I turned it off and never listened again)
does the case have to be unsolved because there's a case that's Very Much Solved that I think about all the time because the victim died on my birthday AND in my town (several years before I was born)
I saw a documentary, I think netflix, where they were able to reconstruct a woman's facial features from her dna, which I didn't even realize was possible these days
just general violence and dehumanization against women too, like the various cases of men who just decide to kidnap a woman (or his own daughter, gross Josef Fritzl) and keep her in the basement for his own funsies
it is a truly bizarre case, and it looks like there's simply no update on wiki since the story was pretty new in 2004. but it's the story of the Collingswood boys, who were foster children of Raymond and Vanessa Jackson
they took the kids to a Pentecostal church 3 times a week but nobody did anything until a neighbor of the Jacksons found the 19yo digging in their trash for food
I remember really being horrified because one of the news stories mentioned their only source of income other than the foster money from the state was Primerica
(SEVERE mental health/police cruelty/sui tw) the Isaiah Trammell case showed up for me just yesterday and I'm going to be feeling constant discomfort and rage for the rest of my life when thinking about it. the video I watched contained the police footage, body cam and precinct, and thankfully every single comment was condemning the "professionals" involved
the video is from the EXPLORE WITH US channel on YouTube, which used to piss me off now and again with how they talked about suspects and mental health a few years ago. but now they have a larger team of qualified analysts and they're always sure to be more respectful of potential diagnoses now
what's that case that you heard of years ago and has always haunted you, even if you know it's unlikely to be solved?
