Dave, how close are you to the manhunt for Frein? I wondered if your daughter was safe while you were gone.
well there were a few things while we were gone. that was the first one. its about 45 min.north of me. I was just up there today for work, the one school went back with police all over and the other is still closed. the problem up there is it all rural, a lot of kids wait for buses starting at 6am and a lot of parents work in the city (new York,new jersey) and they cant drive there kids to school. some walk down long roads that are woods on both sides.
the second thing that happened, and it turned out to be a false alarm was about 2 miles from our house there was a report of a child being kidnapped at gun point.(we live in a very quiet little town) so these things are very rare.
this was after the troopers being shot, they had cop cars, swat teams from the surrounding areas and helicopters flying all over. I can see the area from my front door where they said this kid was kidnapped.
B was scarred half to death. she couldn't go up to her grandparents house because they had shut down a good number of the roads in that area as well.
other then that, the kid was fine.
the town we live in, everyone knows each other. (not as much now but still pretty much) the street I live on most of the people are related. when we looked at the house 20 years ago, the neighbor lady came out and asked me my name.(we were just looking at the house at this point
) I told her, she said was your mother so and so? I said yeeeees.
she said ohhhh she was a nice lady. and of course she knows my entire family, back round and what I ate for lunch.
but its great, they all look after each other and would do anything in the world for you. ( and there mostly Italian so it smells great in the neighborhood around dinner time everyday.)
