Clues suggest missing Mississippi family met foul play

At least two things bother criminal investigation experts about the weekend disappearance of the Hargon family from their Vaughan home.

The Yazoo County family left home in a hurry without Bull, the family dog, and asthma medicine that 4-year-old James Patrick Hargon takes twice a day. "That's a huge red flag," said Brent Turvey, a forensic scientist and criminal profiler with Knowledge Solutions of Bend, Ore. "We don't have them following a normal pattern.

"They want to know what (Michael Hargon) said and how he acted," Smith said.


Good point don't you think?

Blood drops and bullet holes in the Hargons' home may indicate foul play, Turvey said.

Oh really?

Start looking for freshly-filled holes on or near property. Fathers murder case is also interesting.

Lucky that these guys didn't call in sick that day in Detective School.

Thanks for the post and the ping, WKB.

On FNC this morning, one of Rebecca's relatives (her mother?) said she usually talked to the her at 9 o'clock every Sat. morning. Rebecca was not heard from last Sat., so the relative tried to reach her at 10, and wasn't successful. Also, Rebecca usually talked to her sister on Sat. morning, and the sister couldn't reach her, either.

Hey, y'all! This case is starting to smell badly.

FR is as slooooowww as molasses here this morning.
How is it for you?

[onyx]

I'm afraid this is not headed toward a happy ending.

FR not noticeably slower...

[dixiechick2000]

I'm tired, so maybe it's just me. ;o)

[Magnolia]

Morning ya'll. I think my biggest fear is for the child and what he must go through/has been through. Most have lost hope for a happy ending.

Nothing was missing — including the Hargons' vehicles, money, guns and jewelry — from the rural, one-story home.

From here: Clues Sought in Family's Disappearance

But there was no sign of robbery or forced entry. Rebecca Hargon's wedding and engagement rings were left behind. Dirty dishes were left in the sink. The family's three vehicles have been accounted for.

Why would she leave her wedding and engagement rings behind?

Something's slow. I thought it was server. Or maybe I just need a cup of coffee.

[dixiechick2000]

My thoughts have been, primarily, on the child, too. I hate to think what might have happened.

Also, since Michael had an early breakfast, and no one could reach Rebecca, I'm thinking some particularly wicked thoughts. I hope what I'm thinking is not the case...

"Something's slow. I thought it was server. Or maybe I just need a cup of coffee."

I'm not a coffee drinker, but maybe I'll try that. ;o)

Some women take their rings off (all jewelry) at night when they sleep.

[jellybean]

Hmmm... I guess that's true. They also take them off to do dishes, but since there were dirty dishes in the sink, I don't think that's the reason she wasn't wearing them.

I can almost gaurantee it will be someone who was released from prison recently.

Anybody know if the loot from "Haywoods" robbery was recovered?
