Of course, if the web site owners are Raptured, how would you make a claim against them? They must be worried about their own ability to Rapture.

And apparently Rapture as a noun has been Raptured already.

Hey, I was just out there last month! Very different place without all the people (though even in early July we ran into a few art cars).

Amazing that she's alive and relatively "well" after all this time. I read this morning that she was kept in some contraption in the backyard consisting of several sheds and tents hidden by bushes and trees. Electrcity through an extension cord. Plumping was very rudimentry.

I can't imagine how she and her family must all be feeling at this moment. And what must her children be thinking?

Yikes! I lived in Antioch a few years ago.

At least they were raised in an environment with social and verbal interaction. I can't remember the title now, but a few years back read a very interesting story about a girl (can't remember if she was kidnapped or just abused) locked in a room for the first 8 years or so of her life with no verbal interaction and only the slightest human interaction.

It was an interesting scientific case in what it showed about language acquisition in humans past a certain age (what it showed was not good, essentially it doesn't happen).

What always amazes me about stories like this one is how two similarly depraved people find each other. I have difficulty imagining how I'd say to my wife "honey, I'd like to have a threesome." It must be supremely awkward to say "honey, I'm going to steal a little girl and keep her in the backyward. Cool?"

Fried Twinkies, Snickers, bacon, okay. But I draw the line at deep fried butter. That's just nuts!
