The video has "script" in the embed code. This video posted and plays here!

Justice4All, have you made adjustments on RC so we can embed TV station videos with "script" at the beginning and end of the embed code?

I didn't make any adjustments, but I'm glad it worked. There might be a slight difference from the script codes that don't work and the one you posted above.

Thanks for the info, Justice. Even though I see "script" in the embed code, I still try to post the TV station videos and when I preview, there is no video.

Was I ever surprised when I previewed the one above, saw the video, then I clicked on Send. Video posted and it works!

I thought you did something to the site to make the "script" code videos post! Like magic!

You are welcome Ann. I also use preview to test any video with an embed code, and if it works I go ahead and post it.

I got confirmation today, from a reliable source, that TJ Murray was 23 years old when he went missing. His birthday is in November.

TJ's age has been reported as 23 and 24 by media sources as this case unfolded.

I continue to monitor TJ's case closely.

There have been no main stream media updates yesterday or today.

As this case unfolded, an earlier article indicated there was an incident in the bar involving TJ. There were no details. No other info about that incident has been disclosed.

Rumors abound regarding the incident but I am not a proponent of the rumor mill.

It would not do this thread or the reputation of Reality Chatter justice to post rumors. Reality Chatter is not about posting rumors.

So . . . I will patiently wait for more info on this case via main stream media or perhaps a Press Conference by the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.

Prayers for TJ and his family!

The search for TJ Murray has opened up to the public. Texas EquuSearch, Dickinson, Tx, will be conducting a search for Murray tomorrow, November 3, 2011, starting at 9 a.m.

Certain criteria has to be met to participate in the search. Please read the following:

KBTX - Bryan, Tx had info about the 11-3-11 search for TJ Murray on the evening and
10 p.m. News (11-2-11).

There is currently a 26 sec. video clip posted on the Homepage.

It is titled: Texas Equusearch - Finding T.J. Murray

I can not embed it nor get a direct Link to it.

It could be moved but at this time it is on the right side of the page. Scroll down.

A reliable source has indicated to me that the search by Texas EquuSearch, with volunteers,
on Thursday, 11-3-11, did not yield any thing.

There is no search planned for Friday, 11-4-11.

There might possibly be one on Saturday. If so, it will be posted on Texas EquuSearch's site.

Leads are needed in this case!

Apparently there will not be a TES search this Saturday for TJ Murray.

I just checked TES' site and there is no info posted about a search for 11-5-11.

How do people just disappear without a trace? God bless you, TJ, wherever you are.

No news on TJ yet! He is still missing.

I guess LE do not have any leads that would result in an organized search of land area for TJ.

Good news! TJ's candle site at Gratefulness.org has 34 candles lit! Two pages! 17 hours ago Hanna Elizabeth McDonald posted the link to TJ's candle group, TJM, on the Facebook page set up for TJ:

Special thanks to Hannah for posting the link to Facebook - Bring TJ Murray Home Safe!

I do not do Facebook and could not post the Link. The Facebook for TJ is open to the public to read but unless you are on Facebook, you can not post a comment.

It is a beautiful Facebook page set up for TJ. Tightly controlled, monitored and therefore, not loaded with rumors or crude comments. Definitely done with class!

Bumping! No news on TJ yet.

Please take the time to light a candle for TJ Murray! It is free. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated!

Thank you! ♥

Nothing new on TJ!

I monitor our local news from Houston in hopes there will be info about TJ or the status of the case but there is nothing.

A press conference regarding the status of the case would be nice.

Some one has to know something.

In the comments under some of the mainstream media articles, there were comments made about what could have happened but I don't post rumors and there is no verification if the person(s) making the comment is legit! For all I know, the person could be in another country acting like they live in The Woodlands, Tx area.

This is so odd that the local mainstream media have just quit covering this case. I bet if this was an attractive female college student, there would still be media coverage.

Prayers and thoughts for TJ Murray and his family!

Special prayers for TJ and his family! I hope TJ is found soon. ♥
