WESTON -
Joe "The Bloodhound" Nick was back in Weston looking for still-missing Aliayah Lunsford, 3.

Snipped:

"The answer is with Lena and Ralph," Nick said. "And when one of those two step forward, and tells the answer, then the whole story will come out. But remember, I am sure that the story will come out it if they don't."

I agree with Nick. The answer to Aliayah Lunsford's "disappearance" lies with Lena and Ralph Lunsford.

Tweak, where are you?

You have not been here in a long time. Hope that lady on Facebook did not make you quit posting here.

What is the latest scoop, Tweak?

Members of Aliayah's Army, a group of family members and community volunteers, said they were searching the West Fork River near the Bendale Dam when an underwater camera caught some suspicious images.

They sent divers into the water, but it had become too murky to locate the object.

They pulled the divers out, and said bad weather will prevent them from going back in tomorrow.

I predict.."They ain't gonna find her"...Sad but true...She's been swept away...and is now in the arms of our Savior...

I have been busy.
The forums on Facebook,you know the ones where all the gossip mongers are at? I got tired of sifting through all the Crap.
I feel it lies with her Mother and Ralph.I also feel someone should give them both a dose of Mountain Justice.
They both need locked the hell up.
I know the FBI knows what happened.Why else would they *poof* and vanish.
I say they are waiting for the Pill Headed,White Trash,Breeders to lead them to more evidence.

The girl I was friends with is still dating Lena's Brother.Love is wonderful huh? Living with Him and Mother Dearest from what I have heard.
I am also Friends with Holly and Eric Harris.Known them for years. My question is why would Lena name him,when it came back he was not the Bio Dad....why him? He states repeatedly he has never been with her.So who else could she name? She is a idiot.

I feel rather sickened by the whole issue really.And everyone that Knows Lena that I have talked to says she did it.They know she did but cannot prove it.

Tweak! How good to "see" you! I have missed you.

I wondered what happened to you. I am so glad you dropped by to give us an update.

Of course I don't know the local community news like you do but I think Lena and Ralph know exactly what happened to Aliayah. I just wish they would tell where she can be found.

Do you think they weighted Aliayah, threw her in the river and she is long gone downstream? I wonder when was the last time some one really saw Aliayah besides Lena and Ralph.

There is no doubt in my mind that Lena's early morning escapade and driving around looking for Aliayah was a farce!

Hope you drop by more often!

Per this article, Lena Lunsford is divorcing Ralph Lunsford.

FBI Pittsburgh will have a press briefing next week.

Mystery of missing W.Va. 3-year-old lingers after 6 months; attorney says mom prays for return

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The mother of a 3-year-old girl who vanished from her West Virginia home six months ago Saturday believes that her daughter is still alive and prays daily for her safe return, her attorney said Friday.

Lena Lunsford doesn't know what happened to daughter Aliayah or where she is, but Mike Woelfel said she refuses to give up hope and continues to cooperate with investigators.

"Lena is convinced that no blood relative of Aliayah knows what has happened to her. Nor was she involved in any way with her disappearance," he told The Associated Press.

Asked whether Lunsford believes a non-blood relative may have been involved, Woelfel said only, "She doesn't know what has happened to Aliayah."

WESTON -
The FBI held a press conference Thursday morning in Lewis County to mark six months since Aliayah Lunsford, 3, went missing.

A small crowd of community members were in attendance. Some said Aliayah's disappearance on September 24 has torn the Lewis County community apart.

"It's taken a really bad toll because everybody has put their lives on hold. Every body is concerned about this baby. When you have a missing baby and you have children or grand children the same age, every body comes together," Patricia Rager said.

In the Press Conference held today, the FBI spokesman repeatedly said, "I'm not going to discuss that." or "I'm not going to discuss the investigation." Not verbatim but something to that effect!

Finally, towards the end, one of the reporters asked, "Well, what are you going to discuss?" FBI guy said that he's already discussed all he's going to discuss.

FBI: Aliayah Lunsford not abducted by intruder
Investigators keep information about missing Lewis County girl close to the chest

By The Associated Press
The Charleston Gazette - Charleston, WV


WESTON, W.Va. -- The FBI has a working theory about what happened to a 3-year-old Lewis County girl who vanished six months ago, and it doesn't involve a break-in.

Supervisory Agent John Hambrick wouldn't say during a news conference Thursday what investigators believe happened to Aliayah Lunsford or whether they think she's still alive. Hambrick also would not name a suspect, predict when an arrest might be made or offer any details about the ongoing investigation.
