Kortne Stouffer's Neighbors Speculate

Missing since July 29th, Kortne Stouffer still hasn't been located, but her family isn't giving up hope in finding her. A vigil will be held tonight in Palmyra, but it will be mostly focused on prayer. If you're not the praying type and you still want to show respect for the missing woman, it's taking place at the Lebanon High School, so it won't be held at a strictly religious venue. That's not the only update in this missing woman's case.

It appears that two of the neighbors of Kortne Stouffer have ideas on what may have happened to her. This report states that two neighbors expressed the belief that Stouffer wandered away from her apartment sometime around 4:00 a.m., and she may have "encountered someone who hurt or abducted her."

Was one of these neighbor's the one who called the cops on her or were these two unrelated neighbors? Seeing as though police found no signs of struggle in her apartment, it makes sense to think she was out of her apartment when she vanished.

So far the reward raised by friends and family is more than $30,000 and growing. The reward is being offered for information or evidence that leads to the whereabouts of their missing loved one. While rewards rarely work in cases like these, it's still hopeful that someone will offer information for the money. The quietness of investigators is unsettling, so someone biting at the reward is just what they need right now.

So the latest news isn't just that there is no news, but now we get "speculation" from neighbors. Unless they are persons of interest, talking heads on the media or actual investigators, who cares? It's not getting us one whit closer to finding the woman, who may or may not be a victim of what may or may not be crime.....

As long as the family keeps "upping" the reward a little bit at a time, people are *not* going to call in or give information to the police ... They are going to wait and wait, until the reward gets higher. This could mean several more months are going to pass by and by that time, maybe the 'tip' will be meaningless because of the time lapse, or things will change so as the 'tip' is not relevant anymore.

The family needs to put a cap on the reward and publicize the amount and keep information out in the public about Kortne's disappearance and raise monies to be helping to fund searches, or have some sort of a memorial fund. There are a lot of things that monies could be collected for - my reason for writing is not for putting the money one place or another, other than getting the word out about the reward, and that the reward is at a set or fixed amount. Then you might see more information coming in on what happened to Kortne.
