In my back yard

A Michigan State Police officer nails boards across the back of the Skelton house.

People talk about something happening in their own back yard. That’s literally the case for me. We share a back yard fence with the Skeltons, which is the reason the FBI paid us a visit twice. Unfortunately, we didn’t have much to offer. We hadn’t seen the kids since the Sunday before Thanksgiving.

There’s nothing new to report. The search went on all day and will resume in the morning.

It’s odd to think that a national story – international, I suppose – really is happening in my back yard.

    I miss the days when Morenci’s only “national news” exposure was for Letterman (or maybe it was Leno) reading our weekly police news on his show. :-(

    I’m praying that the boys are found safe and sound very soon.

    I guess that’s true about the police news, but what I recall is the story about eating squirrels. That was big news with Letterman. Thanks to you.

    My Grandma and Grandpa’s house… in a different time. The entire Chittenden family’s thoughts and prayers are with the Zuvers family. I am so proud to be from a town that cares enough about each other to help out in times of need. Jana and I wish we still lived close enough to help in the search. Be strong and stay positive, Morenci.
