Hey Peiguy, you say my story you didn't read because it's too long! Sum it up or get a shrink. Your A butthead to say the least, maybe you should read before you open your mouth. I'm not adding my comments for only you to read. As I make very important statements, as a parent, so read before you judge! At least I care enough to say what I think and people already know. It any thing is far too long that is finding Tori's body, and her parents and loved ones need this closure, she deserves to rest in peace. So sum this up and check your own head!

This search for Tori's body has gone on much too long! The accused, SUSPECTS, must know where their victims body is, where they put it. How can they not remember? They are stalling, for what reason? The police have been searching, and with the help of one of the suspects. Are these two people gone that far in the head that they can't remember where they put this child's body? I just can not image the parents, how they are feeling, I wouldn't wish this nightmare on anyone. They have the right to bury their child, they need proof that their little girl is dead. Again like everyone, there's hope that she may be still alive! If only this miracle could be, it sure would be a blessing. But there's more to this story then meets the eye. Something just isn't right, and these two animals are wasting more time, withholding the truth about their crime toward this child, and causing more grief for her family and loved ones. They seemed to be smart enough and sneeky enough to take this child in day light. Are they this stupid now to say they do not know for sure where they put this child's body? It just isn't right, they owe Tori's parents this closure, they need to know for sure whether their child is dead, or still out there somewhere ALIVE! It's sick and sad all wrapped up in one, these bastards are cruel and sick minded, thinking they would get away with this horrible crime. It's frightening to think, are these two repeat offenders, and just now they got caught. I also read that Terri-Lynn gave up evidence against her boyfriend Michael, because she found out he was seeing another woman. Now it's pay back time and she wants everyone to think she is willing to help police find Tori's body. Give me a break, she is a f--king nut job, needs to pay for her part, after all she is the one taking Tori away in the video. If it hadn't been for her, Tori would be at home with her loved ones, playing as a kid should be and spending time with her brother. So Terri-Lynn is just playing nice right now, because she got caught, trying to let the public know she is sorry she had any part of this crime. Just look at her picture on FACEBOOK, to me she looks pretty crazied to boot, hard eyes, COLD! So face-up and bring this child's body home so her parents can put their angel to rest, she did not deserve to leave this world at such a young age. She surely deserves to R.I.P. Praying this search ends in a wonderful blessing, Tori is ALIVE! Everyone I am sure is doing the same, keeping this wish of a mircale in their prayers.
PRAYING YOU COME HOME TORI.

Chris…
It’s not the fact that police questioned the parents and family that I object to, but rather their timing and manner. Let’s face it…if the parents had been the guilty ones then it would have been too late for Tori before she was even reported missing. I know that it is statistically most often a family member, or someone close to the family, who is behind these types of things, but that part of the investigation could surely have waited. The emphasis should have been on maximizing the possibility for a ‘happy’ ending; spread the word as quickly as possible across as wide an area as possible (hmmm…isn’t that exactly what the Amber Alert is designed to do?). Someone might remember something early on that they won’t remember later. You can always get back to the parents/family/friends later…they’re not going anywhere.
In regards to the questioning of the 11 year old brother…if it really went as the mother stated, if police really said all the things she says they said, then I think there should be a number of officers joining the ranks of the unemployed. I understand that police are only human and that they were undoubtedly driven by the best of intentions. However, there are limits to what is acceptable, especially when talking to an 11 year old child already emotionally on edge from losing his sister.
The choice to refuse offers of assistance from other police organizations was at best a poor exercise in judgement, at worst criminally arrogant. A lost child is not a ‘career’ opportunity. I’d hate to think that ‘visions of glory’ factored into the decision-making process.

Dear Chris:
You completely missed my point. The police focused on Tara almost to the exclusion of everyone else, based on the fact that she didn't act the way they thought she should have. If she had been acting distraught, they would have also labeled her as selfish and a suspect because she wasn't being strong for Tori and her son. A hunch doesn't equal strong evidence. Everyone should have been a suspect. As for not suspecting dad, if mom's a suspect, so is dad. Sayind he's not the primary caregiver means he shouldn't be a suspect? How many kids are taken by the non-custodial parent? As for your reasoning for allowing Darren to be questioned alone, that doesn't even happen to adults - who know they have the right to not answer any questions without an attorney present. You obviously shared the police view that Tara was, and still is guilty based on speculation. You say lay the blame on the two in custody, while still blaming Tara's addiction, you're talking out of both sides of your mouth. As for bad behaviour by men and boys, you took that point totally out of context and you know it.

Patience people. Let the Police ensure they cover everything. The last thing we all want is another Bernardo fiasco.

These killers are enjoying their cat and mouse game. The community should jail them right away. We don t need another Karla Homolka nightmare deal!

I drive a vehicle and I have also been a passenger . I can tell you that when someone else is driving, I pay absolutely NO attention to the route we have taken. Instead of depending on this 18 year old for directions, why are they not taking the DRIVER out on the search.
These same police ought to be able to use PERSUASION tactics.

I think the Police have been doing a thorough investigation in this case. Tara McDonald needed to be investigated because she fit the description on the woman in the video, she lied on a few lie-detector questions, her behavior and some comments were odd. The Police had to investigate these facts. It wasn't personal - it's about finding the child. I sympathize with the family, there is no right or wrong way to act during this time. Everyone just wanted to see Tori back with her family.
The Police have received hundreds of tips and leads - it's alot of information to sort through.
And the police have been able to charge two people within 40 days. Please be reminded, it took almost 10 months to find and charge Paul Bernardo after the Kristen French abduction. Be thankful Police arrested Rafferty and McClintic before they could strike again.
What are your thoughts on the Tori Stafford case?
