Please catch up with Parts I, II, III & IV Now, wait a minute… Let’s back up a bit and linger somewhere over the piles of proverbial hay. There are a few needles in those stacks. Needles that have pricked my conscious for years, many years. Recall the “fresh body” discovered on the same farm? The one “in the burn pile” within yards of the … Continue reading Hey, Wait a Minute… (Angelique James Part V)

Please catch up with Part I, Part II & Part III. In my puny mind, it stands to reason that if law enforcement officers and other officials call with questions, claiming they “need more information…to help put names to faces”, they must have faces that indeed need names. Right? Alongside this, doesn’t it just make sense that if an officer calls you repeatedly with questions, … Continue reading “Names to Faces” Angelique James Part IV

Please catch up with: Angelique Part One, Part Two The  week following our return from meeting with detectives, I received a phone call from KSP (Kentucky State Police), informing me that remains were, in fact, discovered at the very spot Jack led them.

Her smile imprinted in my mind, my heart aches at the thought of her. Those cute barrettes of many colors decorate her hair. So vibrant. … Continue reading Angelique James, My child I never knew

Startled by the alert, I reached for my phone. Another group text from the ministry. Another report about a child in a cage. Another call to prayer and to action. I sat in this restaurant across from my new fiance pondering it all, praying within. As I looked around, my greatest prayer? “Lord, wake up the people. Help motivate, so we stop wasting precious time. … Continue reading Wasting Precious Time

I could not rightly process what I just walked in on. What I saw shocked my senses and knocked me back a few steps. “These are children! Young children!” was all that kept running through my ragged mind, for I was attempting to assure myself that this could not possibly be true, or even likely. And each time I experienced such an assault on my … Continue reading Believe it or Not
