Missing student from Brooklyn, IA
- Thread starter Colonel Homer
- Start date
I grew up there and went to School in Brooklyn. Her mom was two grades above me. Terrible situation there right now. They had 350+ people searching yesterday. Every corn field, building, creek area, etc in what sounded like a 5 square mile of the house….My buddy said that DCI has taken over the running of the investigation.
Would google and Apple be able to help without a search warrant in cases like this?
For example, on my phone, in Google maps, when you go to "timeline" it shows exactly where I was during the day and it also shows from "what time" to "what time."
So, if something happened where she suddenly stopped moving, it would show where. When her phone went off, it would show where.
Gosh, you would think with all the technology out there, it would be hard for someone to just vanish.
Hope there is good news fast and would be interested in learning what technologies they use to find her.
Again, I would think mapping software on her phone would be a great help to figure out what time she stopped moving, where that happened and what time (and where) her phone went off.
With my step-niece (?) I don't think anyone's worried about human trafficking or a serial killer. She's easily attractive enough to get attention but she's also dealt with drug and alcohol issues most of her adult life. I could post multiple mug shots here - I won't. She's lost custody of her children - my sister and BiL (Katie's dad) are raising two of them when they should only be dealing with their grandkids. I've only met her a couple of times but Mike is a great person who spends his vacations going to place like Haiti and Kenya to work with kids. I guess when you spend a lot of your life fearing exactly what's happened with Katie it's different than when it just randomly occurs but I know how much he loves her and I know it's tearing him up thinking that she's finally slipped away for good.
Best way to approach making what might be a questionable post, IMO, is if you wouldn’t mind similar comments from strangers, if this were your daughter, sister, or mother missing, go right ahead. If you’re still good, you’re deranged.
How did this post get 3 likes?! Then dont say anything at all. Humor is ridiculous in this situation
I-80 is a hub for a lot of criminal activity. It is a east-west pipeline across the country.
You are an idiot of epic proportions for posting that. Incredibly immature
It is when dumbass, insensitive comments are made. It is really amazing how many simply don’t get it. It really shows how incredibly dense and insensitive you are
Plain and simply, you are an f****** idiot and a mouth at that. “If she is”? Wow. You have a young woman that has vanished for no immediate reason and has been missing since Thursday. It is very likely she is gone for good. Normally how these things go. When you have kids, you’ll understand. Until then, shut your mouth
Or maybe desensitized. Perhaps this is a symptom of being face to face with constant doom and gloom.
Most likely everyone here is hoping she is found and in good condition.
I get the feeling that you two won't be hanging out anytime soon.
Maybe hanging out at fight bar.
This is awful.
Now, while I'll be derided for "making everything political", I think it should be considered that this nightmare is similarly being created by our own government as it relates to the situation at the border—separating children from parents often for months often with little or no information as to where the child/children is/are and when they will be reunited. Yeah, apples to oranges, but still fruit.
Apples to oranges, but still both fruit, and compassion is appropriate for both situations, and both situations deserve a response of "how do we stop this shit".

What is right - what a dumb comment.
OR...welcome to a day and age where way too many people have no compassion or empathy for others, any sense of dignity or right or wrong and everything is about the entertainment value to them. They are so self absorbed that they cannot even process what it means to be mature and respectful towards others, especially in stressful times.
Yes, it is evident on the internet, but it is a revelation of your true character...as in not having one.
Hi, welcome to the internet.
Maybe just take a break from the thread.
Have you ever considered that since this happened very close to the U if I that it’s possible someone who knows her or her family could be on the board?
This is turning into a thread like one would find in a recruiting thread in the Lounge
This may be your best post EVER!
I’ve been praying this turns out good. It’s just sort of a bleak situation
Each day the chances of this ending good drop significantly
It looks pretty bleak. At this point the best case might be that she escapes confinement or her kidnappers with minimal harm.
@Rudolph brings up an interesting point. In this thread we have people that have made light of this situation. We have others that have become completely emotionally invested because they are parents, and are from Iowa. Yet there is an emotional firewall between some of those people and the parents and children that have been separated by the government. It is probably hard for them to become empathetic because they can't see themselves seperated from their kids in that way, but they can create a scenario in their mind where their kid is kidnapped.
All that being said, it can be easy to understand the process that happened in this thread where people weren't acting terribly worried.
Also it is 2016 so lrn2gif.
Serious question. Do the people at the border fear the government is murdering their children? I honestly don’t see this as even remotely the same.
Probably not. Did they have to be identically the same in measure? Hell, even Rudolph calls apples and oranges on his own post.
Murder? No. Kidnap and will never see again? Absolutely.

Thats a long and completely unrelated way around just to try and justify bad attempts at humor. Originally somone cant handle being scared - now its because of the boarder.
How about this: it was a weak attempt at humor that was poorly conceived and shouldnt have been delivered - chalk it up to being stupid - pretty simple.
It is amazing the lengths that some will take to cover their own stupidity. Or, perhaps, to chase their likes. Embarrassing and pathetic, really.
Really? Proof? And again you dick, how is this remotely the same? I anxiously await.
Some of you and your attempts at turning this political are f****** stupid and pathetic.

Effing embarrassing you liberals bring up illegal border crossings in this thread
As usual the facts are getting in your way. This has been
They are insufferable.
So back to what's important here... anyone hear or know anything new on her disappearance?
Sounds like her phone is either off or the battery is dead. Wonder if the fbi is involved.
