    1. I literally can’t think of anything worse than this.

      Even knowing your child has died wouldn’t be as bad as what these parents are going through.

    2. I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since this little guy went missing. Absolutely awful.

    3. From what I understand of this case, police suspect one of the grandparents.

      So the $1M reward is in hopes the other grandparent knows something and reveals it or are they hoping one of the grandparents has talked to someone else?

      What I’m getting at is that this seems an odd situation to offer a reward when there is probably only one person who could give them any information, if that, and that person could face charges for perverting the course of justice anyway if they have been concealing information. Plus if they know something and are unwilling to speak to help locate their own grandson’s body, do police think they’d speak for $1M?

      Are they testing the water to see if there is a totally different scenario they’ve overlooked and this will flush someone else out?

      I have no idea if the grandparents are involved. I get that police are saying there are inconsistencies in the timeline, but people aren’t exactly known for getting things like that right when they are panicked and stressed. It also interests me that neither grandparent seems to know which one of them is the suspect.

      I can’t believe I missed this entire case. How strong is the link to the grandparents? Just seems unfathomable.. what a world.
