Nope. Just someone who has a differing opinion than you. For the record, I disagree with Cars frequently. I disagree with Dynoguy on occasion. I disagree with Freakbook, too. That’s the beauty of these boards. We’re all allowed to have an opinion… and they don’t need to conform with yours.

I disagree with all three of them. That’s why they’re all on my ignore list.

The beauty of the internet is being able to block those who disagree with me or who contradict me, a luxury I’m not afforded offline.

Most likely scenarios

1. Random rapist/deviant saw a lone woman in a quiet area late at night.
2. Rob did it.
3. Wrong Angela kidnapped by incompetent chumps, who then kill her in error or to stop her talking & never go after the correct target.

I think you are discounting the possibility of the wrong Angela being kidnapped and that the abductor was also a rapist/deviant. I was also able to come across an article from this forum post (the article website link no longer works, but it is transcribed) that has some more interesting nuggets.

Shafer, the last person to speak with Hammond, was investigated "extensively" and ruled out as a suspect, Abbott said. "We still feel that way."

Although they believe the basic description of Hammond's kidnapping is accurate, detectives are open to the possibility that details -- such as the make or model of the suspect's truck -- could have been miscommunicated in the couple's conversation.

"There can always be discrepancies ... it can be like playing the old telephone game," Abbott said.

The truck, which Hammond described as a Ford like the one Shafer drove, might have been a Dodge or a Chevrolet, for example. Or Shafer might have misinterpreted her description of the mural on the back window.

"We've considered that," Abbott said. "We've looked at a lot of older trucks."

It's unlikely the suspect is still driving the vehicle, but it might jog someone's memory, he said.

One new development, Abbott said, is that detectives no longer think Hammond's abduction was related to others that occurred nearby in 1991.

"Initially we always looked at this case from the viewpoint that it was probably associated with the Cheryl Ann Kenney case in Nevada and the Trudy Darby case in Macks Creek," he said.

Both women were convenience store clerks who disappeared a few months before Hammond was kidnapped. Darby's nude body was found in the Little Niangua River two days after she disappeared, shot twice in the head. Kenney has never been found.

"At this point we think it is unlikely that our case is related to those two cases," Abbott said, saying the investigation is now more focused on the Clinton area, with tips indicating a local suspect.

I don't know if this has been posted or not, but Angela's mother passed away back in May of 2021. Here is a link to her obituary:

Also, there is a podcast called "True Crime All the Time" that covered this case, and they say that the motorist who picked up Rob also saw the speeding truck driving away from Rob's car. That was the first time I had ever heard of that.

And I've always been confused about one aspect in this case. Did Angie and Rob live together? Because if they did, it explains why she was talking to him on the phone for 20-30 minutes. She was waiting for Rob's mother to come home so they could go home together. Angie did not live in Clinton, but about 20 minutes away.

Okay, that made me LOL.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just hit some unknown function in real life that would block folks that annoy us?

That's a really interesting discovery. I wonder what their source was for that little nugget of information....

I have to disagree that it explains anything. If she's going to wait, why not at her future mother-in-law's house, which was only a couple of minutes away? Or just drop by to say she was going home to get some sleep? Of course, there are enough reasons why she wouldn't, but I think that the fact they did live together actually makes it more peculiar.

So… refresher for everyone on bullying.

You can have a difference in opinion with someone. That is not bullying. You can argue with someone about their differing opinions. That is not bullying.

You are, however, required to keep it civil.

I’ve reviewed said complaint and I don’t see where anyone on the “Rob did it” vs “Rob didn’t do it team” was insulting or trolling anyone.

One more time for the people in the back: DISAGREEING WITH SOMEONE IS NOT THE SAME AS BEING A TROLL.

Cool?

More and more people these days expect their entire online experience to be an echo chamber at all times, with a digital wall of separation between them and everybody who doesn't think exactly like they do.

What a boring and pointless existence that must be.

It's actually sad as well.

That was an episode of Black Mirror, and it was glorious. Also, my post was serious, not something to LOL at.

I have no interest in allowing someone’s wrong point of view into my life. Wrong points of view need to be stomped out.

Boy, ain't that the truth!

I really hope this is some bizarre Andy Kaufman-esque performance art. Because if not...
