Back in 1992 when I was a high school sophomore, a young man named Jamie Lusher went missing. He was only about 6-7 months younger than me, either in my grade or a freshman. He was a special needs kid, either autistic or somewhere close to that. My only memories of him are when I'd see him running top-speed down the hallway, screeching and making

How completely sad. :((

I remember in eighth grade a special needs child who was the sweetest kid ever was run over by a car or a train or something and was killed (and he lost both his legs too, I don't remember how I learned that but I never forgot it). It's not teh same thing as murder and child predators, but so sad to lose a child. <3

**hugs hugs**

That's so horrible. It sucks that we have to live in a world where such horror exists.

I'm a firm believer that Hell is right here on Earth. (It's also Heaven, but still.)

The idea of the victim being special-needs just makes it feel much more sickening. They already have to deal with so much, then something like this comes along... not right. :(

It is a sad day. Watching the video was heartbreaking. Hopefully finding out what happened and who's responsible will allow the family some closure. *hugs*

Oh, this guy's fucking crazy. He keeps himself relevant by admitting to a murder he performed every now and again, going from our area to New York State. Pan just told me that he admitted to one killing, but wouldn't say where he'd buried her because "she's not alone". How fucked. *hugs back*

That really must be very unnerving for all of you. What a sad day for the family.

I remember wondering when it happened WHEN he'd come home. I figured maybe he'd gotten lost or hurt, and they'd find him a few weeks later, perhaps injured but alive. The last memory I have of him is him riding his bike on the north side, zooming down the hill. He disappeared not long after that.

So crazy and sad.

Yea, it's sad and weird. I guess the murdering fuck who did it's already been convicted, and admits a murder every so often. Pan says it's probably to stay 'relevant'. Crazy, conceited jackass. I'd promote torture for someone like him.

It is sad and scaring. We are used to it to read about such stories in the paper, to hear about it in the news but it always seems to be so far away. When it happens in our neighborhood, when we know the victim or the suspected person it is even more shocking. I hope that after all this years the family of this poor boy will be able to find at least a bit comfort now where they finally know what is happened to him.

I hope so, too. It's always been with them, always WILL be, but I hope they find the remains, let them have that closure in a big way. Ugh. Just gives me this sick lump in my stomach.
