Many of you have probably heard about the family of 4 missing in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. The one girl 13 yr old girl was found and her kidnapper has been jailed, her mother, brother (10 yrs old) and family friend had been missing for the past week. They were finally found dismembered in a hallow tree this past week. Among them they also found their family dog, dead.
The entire community is devastated and this particular story has really stayed with me for some reason. I went out 2 of the days to help search and the other days of this past week I've sat glued to the news channels and searching for my own answers online and unbelievably depressed.
It just goes to show you never really know who your neighbors are. This has been a grim reality for a lot of folks in this area. Mt. Vernon is only about 30 minutes from me, but I used to live and do my shopping there about 5 years ago.
I've heard stories and read things like this ever since I've moved to Ohio 14 years ago, maybe I'm just a tender soul but I can't even sleep at night with this one. I was so hoping to find those folks a week starved but alive and it just didn't happen.
Please pray for this family and their loss.
Rest in peace Tina Maynard, Kody Maynard and Stephanie Sprang and godbless Sarah Maynard the only survivor of this nightmare.
