Ugh. Not this again. Why do these men that kill the women in their lives think that they can "outsmart" everyone and get away with the murder? Yeah, screaming "Don't take me," Give me an effing break.

Guess I'm getting jaded by all these spousal crimes. I trust the cops have checked the phone records by now.

I would think a scream or a scream into the phone to her boyfriend: Help. Red Car. Something like that. If an abductor did slow down, get out of the car, approach her and then try to take her but not knock the phone from her hand, he is pretty dumb and pretty lucky that she didn't already describe the car and the person getting out of it.

What roads in that immediate area lead to open spaces and are not frequently travelled. If it is an abductor he is going to ditch the body away from passersby. If he takes her to any structure first, its going to be one he is familiar with and close to.

Larkin I believe that that is a horrible thing to say... you don't know what happened and you should NOT be pointing fingers!

Judge prematurely if you dare, but this lady was a fine person who didn't do alot of drama. She has at least one child who is an honors student and she was very active in her church. Will absolutely shock me if this turns out to be spousal in nature.

The area is extremely remote with no street lights. Houses and buildings can be many acres apart as it is predominantly farmland and off any main road. Actually, the entire county is very remote. I'm trying to imagine total blackness with headlights shining in my face. Doubt very seriously that she would have seen anything but silouettes.

Here is a picture of her http://www.wsbtv.com/news/20373711/detail.html

Not trying to judge prematurely here, but three divorces by the age of 38 is, well, sort of dramatic.

Just sayin...

Have some respect. She's my cousin, and she has never been into drama. She just didn't choose the right men or trust her judgement. She has always been sweet. I don't know how you can judge anyone you never even knew.

NOTE FROM STEVE: I'm going to chime in here and ask for folks to respect the Ms. Cornwell, the missing woman. All signs point to her being a victim here.

According to the AJC there is evidence at the scene that Kristi was kidnapped.
My prayers are with her, her family, and her boyfriend.

Kristi is a wonderful person and a friend.
It is scary that such comments would be made about someone they don't even know. (Thou shall not judge)
Keep Kristi in strong prayer.

According to GBI Director Keenan, they have found personal items of hers in the area where she disappeared, along with evidence to suggest she has been kidnapped. He states "We are taking it very seriously and we believe Kristi Cornwell's life is in danger."

Boyfriend is from Atlanta area, and is not considered a suspect, according to Keenan.

Thank you Steve, Yvonne, and Gay for your comments and prayers. I didn't want to get involved in the posts, but what that person said really made me mad. We're all praying for her to return safely.

I make no judgements about the victim, but the bf's statement sounds suspicious. If someone went to grab me I wouldn't think I would say "don't take me" because even if someone goes to grab you, you wouldn't really know that they were going to take you. She may say someone was approaching her of course or scream something like get away from me but how did she know she was going to be taken. Just a weird thing to say.

I make no judgement of the victim but the bf's story seems weird. Who would scream "Don't take me" because when someone approaches you and you think its a bad thing for whatever reason how would you know their intention was to take you instead of attack you, rape you, or other bad things. Even if they grabbed you you'd have no idea they were physically taking you there unless they threatened to take you sometime previously or you would somehow be alerted to their intention. Either way its rather suspicious that someone may be lying because that seems super unlikely.

I apologize for my earlier comment, I truly did not mean to cause further stress to her friends/family. I pray she is found safe and I hope that her boyfriend and former husbands had nothing to do with this...we've seen it far too often in the stories Steve covers.

She is a pretty lady, very sweet looking. I'm wondering who would be out on a rural road in the dark of night looking for someone unknown to them to abduct? No one. That's what I think. It had to be someone she knows, or initiated by someone she knows. So, to immediately go to the boyfriend or the ex husbands is a natural course. Ask any LEO who they look to first in such a case. As for the boyfriend not being a "suspect"...they usually won't go there until there is solid conjecture or some type of evidence to support saying someone is a suspect without the likelyhood of a law suit.

The street lights that were in that area had been unplugged by the man before he attacked. Also, the area surrounding her is very spread out...

NOTE FROM STEVE: How do you know that part about the street lights? That's very specific. Is it just something local people know?

It is sad that something liked this happened in such a pretty town. I love the mountains. I don't live there but have visited Blairsville several times. I alway feel safer in the area. I guess these days, nobody is really safe anywhere. We pray that she will be found safe and pray for her family and friends during this awful time.

Kristi and I had worked together previously at the same place and became friends. All she ever wanted was the best for her child. She wanted to be a good woman to a good man. If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. So what how many times she was married. She is smart, funny, and beautiful. Bad things happen to good people. Look at Meredith Emerson. I just hope she comes home. Can we all agree on that? Keep your negative opinions about who done it to yourself. It is heart breaking to read some of this stuff and the person doesn't even know the victim. Send positive thoughts to her family and friends. That's the best thing a stranger can do. Mankind, let's be KIND.

Part of the investigation has focused on interviewing people who may have seen suspicious or unfamiliar vehicles in the area. Two reports of interest include a white SUV and a gold/copper Mazda or Nissaan. Often in cases like this, an abductor may make several unsuccessful attempts prior to the crime. If anyone in this surrounding area of Georgia or North Carolina has had an odd encounter with a vehicle matching either of these descriptions, please call the GBI tip line. 800-597-8477

There are no streetlights on that road. There aren't any except in the towns themselves. Quite a few homes have security lights, but many don't reach the road.

Prayers for the woman. Didn't know her, but living here you hate to see anything bad like that happen to a neighbor. For years, nothing went on around her, violence-wise. Just small crime, usually theft or minor drug stuff. Then the last couple of years it has bloomed.

My thoughts, from her call, it sounds as if it was very fast from car stop to grab, meaning the person had to be very fast to reach her from the driver's side to the side of the road she was on. Or, there was more than one person. Also, as someone noted, if you're going to look for someone to abduct, how would you pick a random spot like that piece of road? They would be more apt to pick one of the many camping or resort areas around here. More than likely, as cops stated too, that someone was watching her. Not necessarily knew her, but was hunting her. That means they were in the area long enough to know her daily walk ritual. If they were here long enough to watch and wait, they might be noticed as being gone from where ever they were staying. If I were the cops, I'd cross reference the vehicle list they were looking for with the local motels/hotels/camping sites for someone who left that day. They should check that with classmates at her med tech classes too, and any past and present work mates.

Again, prayers that she's found safe.

For the doubts that certain people have above, cell phone towers should indicate where Kristi was and where her boyfriend was at the time of the phone call that night. Also, are there video surveillance at convenient stores around the time of the abduction that might have caught any of the suspicious vehicles on tape?

Praying for her safe return, God be with her.

It's a shame about the inability to coordinate quickly enough. With the boyfriend calling the Union County Sheriff's Department, it could have been possible to send out bulletins to the surrounding counties and locale police. From that road there's not really much way to get out except by going to a main road. Trying to avoid a main road and one is at a snail's pace rounding through the mountains here. Too bad roadblocks couldn't have been thrown up in Blairsville and Blue Ridge, Hwy 325 north of town and south to Suches.

I realize that there are a few other routes out of the county, but those are the main directions and that thinking does no good now. It's just that this case really bothers me. One, another poor woman is being harmed and two, it's here in my town and three, I am married and cannot imagine the pain were it my wife being abducted. I would hunt the kidnappers to the ends of the earth.

It's okay, John from Nc. I know everyone is on here because they've lost someone or they want criminals found. Of course I have my own opinions, but they are just that - opinions. I know about as much as everyone else does about this. I agree, Kenth, that something should have been done right away. I'm assuming you didn't see anything suspicious that night? I don't understand why the FBI isn't involved. If she was in a car, she could have been over the state line that night.

I thank everyone for their prayers and positive thoughts. God bless you.

So, so sorry to just read about this story - but thrilled that CNN picked it up. It is a shame that it is not safe to take a walk at night (or daytime anymore) and know that you will return home safe. God Bless Kristi and her family and boyfriend. What an awful thing. I pray that they find her safe, and if the worst has happened, that the family can say goodbye to her with respect and honor. If indeed the worst has happened, remember she is an angel, she is in very good hands.

I am shocked at the some of these comments.
Firstly, I would like to offer my deepest prayers and
concern to the family of Kristi. My family & church here
in Blairsville have already placed out the calls for Kristi
to be on the prayer chain. I will continue to lift her up in prayer and pray for her protection and return. God Bless you.
2ndly....From what I understand the Boyfriend wasn't even in Blairsville, the news stated he was in Atlanta at the time of the call. I have lived in the same area that Kristi lives in for a number of years now. Infact my home is just about 3 miles away from where this took place.
We have no street lights here. NONE. This community is a very quiet and humble place, so when something like this happens here, it affects 99% of the community, and we all stand on guard. If they are still here in this or the surrounding counties they will be found.
To pass judgement on this victim or others because of of here say is not your duty. Judgement is reserved for only one and he knows all the facts. Please stop the "opinion" talk and just pray for her. That is what she needs more than anything.

I have had the pleasure of calling North Georgia my home for 30 years. The area is so beautiful, peaceful, and until the past couple of years, a quiet and safe community in which to live. I live just minutes from Jones Creek where Kristi was abducted. It is scary to think that things like this are now happening in our small town. My thoughts and prayers are with Kristi's family.

My father used to work with Kristi when she was employed at the Coldwell Detention Center in Blairsville. It is my understanding that she was a very nice person, and a great co-worker. It is a shame that bad things like this happen to good people. As for her life choices, it isn't my place, nor anyone else's place to judge her. All of us should be treating her and her family with respect during this very difficult time, and praying for her safe return. But for the grace of God, it could be one of our loved ones out there missing.

It seems natural to suspect an ex-husband or boyfriend in a situation such as this. However, there is as of now no evidence that I am aware of that would link either to this case. Until such evidence is brought forth, I am going to refrain from speculation. I have a degree in psychology with a minor in criminal justice, and my gut is telling me that there is something more to this case than just an angry ex-husband or boyfriend. However, I do feel that it was probably someone who knew her in some aspect, whether from her time employed at the detention center, her time working in the probation field, or just as a casual acquantence. The perpitrator could have watched her for some time, becoming familiar with her daily routines, making her easy prey.

I think that all women should take this case to heart and be more cautious. I know that such crimes are thought to only occur in big cities, and especially not here in the North Georgia Mountains. However, the past couple of years we have seen the area grow by leaps and bounds, mostly for the better...but also for the worse as far as the crime rate is concerned. I know some people may think it paranoid, but I never go out walking by myself without some kind of protection, whether my pistol tucked away safetly at my waist in a holster concealed by my t-shirt, a pocket knife, or just a stick. Anything is better than no form of self protection at all. Our small community isn't as small and safe as it once was, and as it continues to grow it will only become less safe. We have a responsibility to our friends and family to be smart and knowledgeable about self-defense.

Again, my thoughts and prayers are with the family. May you find the strength to make it through this difficult time, and may Kristi be returned home safely.

Who called 911? Her family or the boyfriend.

FACT: SOMETHING happened to Kristi Cornwell. That is the ONLY fact that the public knows right now. Shame on anyone jumping to conclusions! Please, God, bring Kristi home safely to her family! And please give Kristi's family and friends peace in this uncertain time. :(

This happens to women and children everyday,sometimes they are actually kidnapped, how bout using your extra time looking for this women who may very well be in extreme danger if not dead, instead of slurring the name of a women you never heard of before. That would probably a better use of that extra time and energy some folks have. Martha in S.C.

We all must remember we don't know for certain what all her boyfriend heard. I read a post on FB from someone close to her that went up on Tuesday evening. It had more details than I have seen in the news and then they were told to not share more details so it didn't harm the investigation.
I think her boyfiend has been cleared, he apparently did call 911 immediately. A beautiful sweet mother has been abducted. She is a victim.
I know there are many crimes that have twisted details that involve the victim or their family but there are also innocent people killed / abducted all the time. I pray for a miracle, maybe she will be another Elizabeth
Smart. A homecoming for Kristi is a miracle her friends and family need.

I was talking to a friend who said there is an old hunting camp behind the houses on this road. Does anyone know about it?

Thank you April for mentioning that Kristi was a former probation officer for the ga dept of corrections adult felony probation. also, thank you for mentioning the carlton colwell probation detention center for male offenders on probation which is located in blairsville. i cant believe that this information has not been mentioned in the news or any news articles! i am also a probation officer with the state and cant believe no one has mentioned (atleast not in the media) that it is a possibility a former probationer(s) that she may have once upon a time supervised may have a grudge and could be responsible for her disappearance. has anyone heard if law enforcement investigators are exploring this possibility?

most of the time we do not worry about probationers we used to have on our caseloads that may have had their probation revoked to prison coming after us when they are released. its the sentencing judge's decision for that to happen not ours. however, i have one probationer that was revoked to prison a few years ago and it was his first time being in prison. he was very angry about this happening and between the time he was going to have to serve for the probation violation (7 years) and the time he was going to serve for the new charge he was sentenced to (10 years for aggravated assault-attempted murder on someone else but the victim was able to fend him off) he was going to be in prison for a very long time. as angry as he was at court ive often wondered if he would ever think about coming after me even though it was not my decision what he was sentenced to and he never indicated he blamed me or anything. i believe he is capable of that because he was a very violent person (also, once aquitted of murder)-you just never know. i have expressed my concern about that person to other co-workers and im wondering if Kristi ever had a person that she may have been concerned about and expressed it to a co-worker?

please dont think im trying to stir up a witch hunt or "a felon is to blame" or anything like that. my point is at a time like this when everyone is desperate to find her and desperate for any leads or any information that would help find her any possibilities are worth checking into. just surprised that no one has mentioned anything about her being a former probation officer but law enforcement may be checking out those possibilities.

i know everyone with state probation is certainly thinking about her and hoping and praying for her safe return. for those of us in law enforcement when one of our own either former or current is involved in a horrific situation like this it really hits home and its heartbreaking.

I know her brother Richard will be on CNN tonight, but one of my aunts couldn't say which show. I think it's already aired, but will air again. Could someone please find out? I'm trying, but I don't see it.
Gay, all I know is that he called her mom.

Cornwell, first my prayers go out to you and your family. In regards to Richard on CNN, I believe he was on Prime News with Mike Galanos on CNN. It airs at 5 and then replays at 6. Kristi's story was aired on both the Jane Velez Mitchell show at 7 and then on Nancy Grace at 8. Both are also on the CNN headline news channel immediately following Prime News.

Praying your cousin comes home safe!

Cheryl, Speculating isn't really jumping to conclusions. No one is saying they know for sure it is anyone. The only way to figure anything out though is to have a hypothesis and prove it wrong. If there was some sort of slander involved that is one thing or if someone acted on speculation, but this is just discourse. People come to this website who have an interest and want to discuss crime. Discussion leads to new ideas in all fields, including crime, and should never be a shame. Different peoples ideas are what solves things. If everyone just said oh we have no proof its someone so they aren't a suspect and no one should discuss it then nothing would ever happen. While law says your innocent till proven guilty, I like to think anyone with a good tie or a motive is a suspect and should be considered one until it is proven otherwise.

Also, JVM is replaying now, and Nancy will replay at 10 pm

Thank you so much, Michelle! I knew I couldn't stay up all night looking for it. Now I can record all the shows and go to sleep. I'm watching Nancy Grace now. Thank you for the kind words.
I don't care if anyone speculates. I just can't.

Kristi's cell phone was found today about 3 1/2 miles from the site where her other personal items were found. Please continue to pray for her.

To Cornwell: We live on the north side of the lake, just off 325. We're always home, especially in the evening and rarely get out, but had we seen anything suspicious or if we do, we would certainly notify the authorities.

My comments of course are all speculation, but since we live here we're concerned about our neighbors and the exceptionally violent crimes that have taken place in the area as of late.

It does bring to mind just how off some people can be. One night a year ago, maybe two, I was coming home from the grocery store in Blairsville so naturally came up 129 and turned west onto 325. As I just got past the auto repair shop, a truck pulled out behind me. It got right up on me, and I thought it was just an impatient driver. But, it stayed on me the whole way like that. I turned off onto the side road toward our house and he turned still following me. I started to think something was up, and knew it was when I got to my actual street and he turned in behind me. It's a dead end though and he stopped at the road and didn't follow me down. I turned off my lights and coasted to my house over a hill, so he couldn't see where I turned in to. It was unnerving, and had I known he was actually following me, I wouldn't have gone right home. I thought maybe they mistook me for a friend, hoped that was it anyway. It was a green pickup. Then not too long ago, in the paper, they had a story of a young guy who was chasing and following people along 325 and on 515 to Blue Ridge I believe it was. He was following someone and they were able to get in touch with police while being followed. He was arrested, and evidently had been doing this to several people. I apologize for the long story, but that incident occurred to me, as I wonder what happened to the guy and hope he's checked out, and it also shows that some people are just nuts and/or mean any more.

We're continuing to pray for Ms. Cornwell, that she be found alive and safe.

The statement 'Don't take me' that Kristi was supposed to have said which was heard over the cell phone by her boyfriend just sounds odd to me. It just doesn't sound like what something someone would say who is being violently abducted.

I just heard this story on the TODAY show. Just recently a case was solved in the Fairbanks, AK area crediting the help of a psychic. Her business name is Katherine Jones Consulting near Sacramento, Calif.. She does readings and also offers help finding missing persons for free or reward consideration. Would someone close to this case please call her and see if she can be of any help?
Like Cait said, "Different peoples ideas are what solves things."
You just never know..... I will be praying for Kristi's safe return.

"Don't take me" sounded odd to me as well. What kind of things were found on the side of the road (dumped), that just happened to fall from her pockets?...again, odd. Yet the phone was taken and then tossed a distance later...odd.
As a Police Officer, I would be looking as hard at the party who (BF) reported this incident as I would for the two suspiciouse vehicles. And what makes a vehicle suspicious? Just because it was not known to locals this is now part of the investigation? YIKES! Remind me not to drive through that town.

M. Silver - The full transcript of what was heard over the cell phone is not being released to the public. Based on the evidence that is available thus far, she was abducted. There is no reason to believe that she is faking this crime as some on various blogs have speculated.

The only person who is seeking attention in this matter is the cowardly worm who committed this crime. I'm sure he's watching the news, delighted to have everyone so interested in him, when in reality, he is nothing to anyone. . . a pathetic loser.

Thank you, Speak Out. I've known her all my life, and there is no way she would ever put her family through this pain. This is NOT a "Runaway Bride" story. Also, someone on another website suggested she could be on drugs. She didn't even take pain medicine for an injury she had had. She was taking care of herself and exercising. Since she was a little girl, she has always been sweet and caring. She does not deserve this, and no one has any right to say anything negative about her.
Thank you IL reader, I will try to see what I can do about the psychic. I was going to ask if anyone knew one.

Kristi and her family are in strong prayer.
I pray for her and for her safe return home.
Love in Christ.

To the people saying "Don't take me" is an odd thing to say, consider this: It is not like a single person calmly walked up on her. I read a report they are looking for a car AND a large white SUV in connection with the case. 2 vehicles means a minimum of 2 people. If your aim is to make a fast getaway, it is logical to leave the vehicle doors open. If Kristi saw multiple people approaching her in a threatening manner, leaving the vehicle doors open, it is logical that Kristi would be able to infer that the intention was to get her in the vehicle hence the cry of "Don't take me." There were also signs of a struggle which makes the phrase "don't take me" make even more sense.

On a side note, I don't know Kristi but I will keep her in my prayers. People really do need to put themselves in someone elses shoes before they judge them. It sickens me how many people in this world get their kicks out of being mean and spiteful to others. Someone going through the worry and fear Kristi's family and friends are going through, they just don't need the added pain of rude, unfounded comments made by inconsiderate people. What if it was your mother, sister, wife or girlfriend? Think before you speak.

WOW! I was totally shocked to hear something like this. Blue Ridge Ga is my home town and only lived 10 min from Blairsville. Ive always felt safe there. Everyone is use to leaving doors unlocked and just walking around. I pray to God they find this woman and that she hasnt had to indure to much. I would like to tell the family to just hang in there and pray your heart out!

I am not suggesting that Ms. Cornwell is faking her abduction but rather the person who said she made this statement maybe lying.

Although I didn't know her, my prayers are with Kristi's family and friends. I wish for a safe return for her, and implore that her family and friends remain strong and determined in this situation. When something of this nature happens in this small and close-knit of an area, it really does affect us all. We all need to pray that the good Lord brings her home and we must recognize the efforts of the many law enforcement officials involved in the search.

kristi is my 2nd cousin... shes family ! so come on cops help find her, my whole family needs her again. with out her my family is not the same. first my great grandmother passes away and now my cousin is kid napped! id wish theyd find ya kristi.......

Again, I offer my prayers to Kristi's friends and family...still waiting for her safe return.

Some of the "I can't believe you people" comments, however, are getting a little over the top. I think my own earlier comment about 3 divorces being a dramatic aspect to life was probably the only one that could be thought of as "disrespectful" to the victim...and I apologized, and still apologize, I did not mean to cause the offense people took.

If you are taking people's skepticism that the boyfriend/exes should be considered "not suspects" as disrespectful, then I humbly suggest this is not the right website to be reading...stick to the news sites if you want news.

With all due respect, coming to a crime blogging site and saying "I can't believe you people are talking about this crime" is like going into a church sanctuary and saying "I can't believe you people are praying in here."

I hope she comes home soon.

I too feel strongly that this is related to her career as a probation officer. I would have hoped also that she could have provided some useful information such as color/type of car or description or number of abductors. However, we never know how we will respond under the same circumstances. I absolutely do not feel that she was abducted by someone she knew well. This was a very daring abduction as someone else said the abductor(s) were very determined in their mission. Prayers for her safe return from Maryland!

M. Silver, I was pretty sure I knew what you meant. I was referring to the fact that people on other sites (I'm sure they read this one too) were saying these things about running away, being on drugs. Someone on the news even mentioned the "runaway bride". It just angers me that people who never knew her jump to conclusions because of her former marriages. Many people have been married multiple times, but that doesn't make them dramatic or bad people - it just means they chose the wrong people.
John from NC, as far as people speculating, I don't mind at all. I like reading other people's perspectives. I just can't comment on them. As long as no one is saying anything disrepectful about her, it fine. Thank you for your prayers.

Did they find any rope, tape or anything like that that would really show kidnap?

Please note that it was not nighttime black outside at 9:15 when the attack took place so talk of street lights is not an issue.
I join with everyone else and pray for a quick and safe return of this accomplished young woman. My heart goes out to the family.

Anyone in a 10 mile area should be inspecting every inch of there property,what kind of search is going on? Do not stop looking as that is when most predators will try to leave when the authoritys cut back...get volunteer stations set up and work 24/7 Don't ever give up hope.
My prayers to the family and friends and godspeed for her safe return.

GOD BLESS !YOUR FAMILY AND KRISTI OUR IN OUR PRAYERS
MAY SHE COME HOME SOON!!!!

THE WORLEY FAMILY ,
MORGANTON,GA

First I would like to say my heart is so burdened for this family. I am a prayer warrior and have been up every night praying for this family and for Kristi till even 5am. I believe their is more than one person involved in this. I can not begin to imaging what you as a family are going through. As they know Kristi is a pearl of great price to the Lord she is a child of the most high King. Ask the Lord where she is and listen carefully. Many times He will tell you if you will just listen. He has told me about many missing even children and it is not psycic it is the Holy Spirit sometimes it can be a heavy burdern to know though. I will continue to pray.

One of the things I have considered is that this auto may have tinted windows or maybe the inside lights may have been disconnected so not to show when the doors where opened in the dark, unless she said something to her boy friend that would give the impression that she saw them as they were exiting the auto, that could be how they were on her so quickly, and the phone found on Dean Gap Rd I believe I hope they have checked it for prints other than Kristi's and the gentle man who found it. Also their are sex offenders that live all over up there and some who live the direction they were heading. One use to live in union county and has moved and that was a major concern of mine but I noticed that they have already verified his residence the day after I got so concerned. I just hope they check them out and don't just call. They need to check the autos they drive.

For those who know Kristi personally do you know if there is a man in her life who has black hair and wears glasses?
I ask this because as a Psychic I meditated on the story yesterday and see such a man associated with this case, and from the things I saw and the words that comes to me I believe this was a premeditated crime and I do not believe the woman will be found alive, but I will not know that for sure until they solve the case and as I said this is psychic information but I have been right in the past.
Here are my notes as I received them yesterday at 11:25 a.m.
I see a man with lack hair and glasses sitting on a stool looking at me.
Say in his 30's.
he looks like he hasn't a worry in the world, maybe because he has an alabi.
"I'm home".
"I called her"
Words which comes to me.
11:30 a.m. as I continue to get information as a Psychic I ask where is the Physical body of Kristi?
I see a white gun pointed in a left direction or westerly direction.
A connection to the black haired man with glasses sitting on the stool who has an alabi.
I hear words: "I called her"
"Belonged to her"
I see a metal object which is as long as a bathtub looks like stainless steel and is placed in a way that the left side is open.
Earlier I saw her concealed in something like white metal?
I now hear words:
"I catered to"
"Want to Get Pictures"
"I forgive you"
Hopefully some of this helps.
Psychics only want to help and that is why when we hear of a case we meditate on them and try to gather helpful information but its hard to get anyone to listen to a psychic.

CVT - Thanks for posting this, but the information was too vague to really help police. I know there's no guarantee on these things, but the most helpful information to police is where to find her right now. If you have any images or thoughts on where she is located right now, please share them here. They need very specific information about her location in order to find her in such a remote area. Thank you, again.

My prayers are with Kristi and her family. I live in the area and I want everyone to know the "police" are doing a fine job. They have been to my house twice asking questions and seeking information. Good job! I also wish to remind women, Please be careful and always be aware of your surroundings. I am 60 years old and was raped (in TN) 3 1/2 years ago in my home. Don't leave your house unlocked and don't walk/jog alone, even in a well-lit park.

A friend of mine in England is a psychic. He said that there were two involved in this abduction. Two men. One was driving and the other grabbed her. They raped her and he is not sure what happened to her after that, but to look in South Carolina for her.
Sorry there is nothing else I have from him. He is very good at this by the way. I asked him to help.

Most of us in North GA, upon hearing that Hilton rode around with Meredith Emerson in the back of his van, wondered if our paths might have crossed or did we miss something because we didn't think there was any hope of her still being alive after that first day.

My heart breaks when I think of her son. Prayers for all.

I was wondering have All past relationships along with the Ex husbands been questioned. Just wondering because some of the comments made by the psychic were scary. I keep Kristi and her family strong in prayer. I pray to God that she comes home safe. Love in Christ~

WOW CVT6702 THATS PRETTY AMAZING...AND DETAILED! YOU REALIZE YOU MAY BE ASKED TO PROVE THAT WHAT YOU JUST SAID- IF ANY OF IT DID TURN OUT TO BE TRUE- IS THE PRODUCT OF YOUR PSYCHIC ABILITIES AND NOT ANY SORT OF INVOLVEMENT ON YOUR PART, RIGHT? IM NEVER GOING TO SPECULATE AS TO IF PSYCHIC ABILITIES EXIST OR NOT AND IF YOU TRULY ARE PSYCHIC THEN YOU HAVE AN AMAZING GIFT. BUT, NOT ALL PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THAT SORT OF THING AND YOU WERE VERY DESCRIPTIVE NOT MORE VAGUE AS SOME "PSYCHIC READINGS" CAN BE AND IT MAY LEAVE YOU OPEN TO BE QUESTIONED IF ANY OF WHAT YOU SAID ENDS UP BEING TRUE. PLEASE BELIEVE THAT IM NOT MAKING FUN OF YOU OR DISBELIEVE YOU BUT IM CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT THOSE WHO ARE INVESTIGATING HER CASE MAY THINK OF YOUR COMMENTS HERE AND WHAT KIND OF IMPLICATIONS IT MAY HAVE SINCE THE GENERAL PUBLIC HAS VERY LIMITED INFO AT THIS POINT. IMPLICATIONS SUCH AS: THE THINGS YOU HAVE SAID POINT TO SOMEONE THAT MAY BE ON HER PHONE RECORD-A MALE THAT HAS OBVIOUS DEEP FEELINGS FOR HER STATING HE WAS HOME WITH AN ALIBI(EVERYTHING WEVE HEARD STATES SHE WAS ON THE PHONE WITH HER BOYFRIEND WHO WAS HOME IN ATLANTA AT THE TIME); YOU STATED YOU SAW HER CONCEALED IN SOMETHING LIKE WHITE METAL (GEE, THE BIG WHITE SUV THAT IS A VEHICLE OF INTEREST?). THE DESCRIPTION OF THE MAN DARK/BLACK HAIR WITH GLASSES IN HIS THIRTIES? IN MY FAMILY ALONE I CAN THINK OF 5 OR 6 MEN THAT FIT THAT GENERAL DESCRIPTION RANGING FROM MID-TWENTIES TO EARLY TO MID FIFTIES NOT TO MENTION FRIENDS, CO-WORKERS OR PEOPLE THAT I BARELY KNOW. MY CONCERN IS THAT YOU MAY HAVE JUST CAUSED FOLKS TO DOUBT INNOCENCE OF INDIVIDUALS FITTING THIS DESCRIPTION THAT ARE TRULY INNOCENT. IM JUST SAYING THAT I HOPE YOUR COMMENT WAS A TRUE PSYCHIC VISION AND NOT A HOAX DERIVED FROM BITS OF INFORMATION WE ALREADY KNOW. THE LAST THING HER FAMILY NEEDS IS TO START DOUBTING PEOPLE IN HER LIFE (ESPECIALLY THOSE FITTING THE DESCRIPTION YOU GAVE) THAT THEY KNEW TO BE INNOCENT.

With all of the vacant homes sitting these days, neighbors should pay close attention if a car appears in that driveway that usually would not. Same for empty "abandoned" old houses. This would be a safe haven for the abductor, just as it was for Hilton. Don't just ignor what could be a clue, call the police if you do see anything odd. These small things could be the break to save her while it is still early.

First & foremost, my prayers are with this family and the safe return of this woman. I would also like to say that the comment of "don't take me" by Kristi, is in no way something "strange" to say Put yourself in her situation. The area she was in is considered to be a safe area and she may have thought someone was stopping to ask for directions or something else. I live in Atlanta and have a certain area in which I walk with several joggers & walkers passing by. One evening on my walk, a jogger had stopped to stretch and I paid no mind. I even spoke to this jogger. However, I was very fortunate in the fact that 2 women who were cleaning Dr's offices nearby, had observed this jogger hiding behind a tree watching me walk for sometime. They immediately called police and were kind enough to leave their cleaning behind to run to me and tell me. The man jogged away but I am now more cautious even though this area is considered to be safe. So do not judge before you know the facts. Just pray for this woman's safe return.

I'm friends with her son and all I have to say is that doing something like this to someone isn't just wrong, it's sick.

This is a very strange situation and I truly hope that it turns out for the better. AT's suggestion about empty homes or commercial buildings is a very good one. I'd also say that "Don't take me" is a very strange thing to say, especially as one who has worked in the culture of law enforcement. In fact, I'd be very interested to hear what locals of that region have to say about that phrase. Is that a local term, a colloquialism, something that they would expect to hear? I recognize that there isn't much to go on with the transcript and I'm not suggesting any foul play, it just seems a very leading phrase that may reveal more about what she saw.
I personally think road blocks around regions they're searching is a good idea. The person is going to hear them coming before they get there and may decide to flee so it's worth sectioning quadrants and searching them individually.
Also, please don't prey on the gullible and offer false hope in the form of "psychics". Trust science like the rest of the world, or God if you choose, but don't let someone take your money in exchange for hope. All of those people have been shown, repeatedly and in no uncertain terms, to be charlatans, deluding themselves or mentally ill.

Iam writing to offer my deepest prayers on finding Kristi

Just to add, It has to be someone from this area! I say that in saying this...the phone was found near Deans Gap...so that means she was takin from Jones Creek...the vehicle travled through 325/515 where they threw the phone out. This is Defently someone from this area to know that route! Right?? By the time Police had time to respond they could have been half way to TENN. I wish the best for the family, i couldn't think of what i would do if it was my wife...

Thinking so much about Kristi, her son & family members.
Praying for your safe return Kristi.
We are all praying for you at Antioch Baptist Church.

I am familiar with this area from going to school at NGTC. If Kristi was taken from John Creek, and her phone was found on Nottely Dam Road, then they could have been in Tn or NC in a matter of minutes. How long is it going to take to expand the search? Do they have reason to believe that they kept her in this that general area? It feels like they are wasting time.

My prayers are with Kristi and her family. Also with the searchers and Law Enforcement.

Hi my name is Deborah and I live in Cumming Georgia....I want to help find Kristi Cornwell, please let me know what I can do to help on this matter.
Thank You.....Deborah R.

I have Kristi so strong in prayer.
God, please keep her safe and bring her home.
I hope and pray that the search is expanded in different directions.Time is so important now.Love in Christ~

Sunhine - "It feels like they are wasting time." Yes, maybe to you it feels like they are wasting time because you are sitting at home reading updates on your computer and making thoughtless statements with no idea of what is going on behind the scenes.

As I was reading some of the most recent post, I came across a couple that were posted by "psychics," or family members of "psychics." I am not here to debate whether or not people can really have psychic powers or whether it is just a bunch of bs. My personal opinion is that it isn't very likely that psychic powers truly exist. If you will notice, most "psychics" give very vague information that gives them a better chance of being correct. For example, of course there is probably someone, if not many someones, that have dark hair and glasses that Kristi knew. What really got me upset was some of the post from "psychics" or family members of "psychics" that told that Kristi had been raped, or that she was dead. If so-called psychics want to help, please just give information as to where to find her. However, please don't post comments about terrible stuff that could have happened to her, that by so-called psychic powers you say has happened with certainty. This adds more stress to family and friends who are following these posts. The family needs to try to stay as positive about the situation as possible, until forensic evidence proves otherwise. Please respect the family enough to not post that you have seen in a psychic vision that she was raped, tortured, and/or killed. If you are someone who really feels you have psychic powers, which I prefer to rely on forensic evidence and science, use those powers to help find her, not to further discourage and upset her family and friends by telling them horrible things. Let the forensic evidence show what happened to her.

I hope and pray that she is okay!!! It is so sad that women are still in danger from crazy men who can't deal with strong women!!!!!

My first thought was why didnt she start giving make, model etc to the boyfriend on the phone.........then I find out shes been a corrections officer...now I know she should have been yelling that info into the phone!!! Its still light at that time, I would have started running. I sure hope she is found!

Gosh people, I would bet anything this is a person from the past when she was a parole officer that is carrying out a vendetta. Listening to the news this morning I heard a person in law enforcement make the comment that it had been four years or more since she was a parole officer.

Criminals know to wait and the psychopaths are willing to wait years to carry out "pay backs". They know that time will distance them from being a suspect.

She is a beautiful lady and I pray for her safe return. God please protect this woman.

And to the ahole who commented on her marriages. How many women have you slept with? Lets talk about you.

Kristi and her family are still in my prayers everyday. I seen her mom on Good morning America this morning and it just broke my heart to see her pain she is going through. God- please bring Kristi back to her family soon. I just can't imagine what the family is going through right now.

I just caught the story on Good Morning America from California. I find two things rather odd. (1)That she would shout out "don't take me". That just sounds a little farfetched unless the person on the other end of the phone was not being truthful, and (2) Kristi's mother's heartwrenching accounts indicated that Kristi's boyfriend called her immediately after the abduction instead of calling 911 first. Either way, my prayers for her safe return are sent to her family and all those that know and love her.

The first word that came to my mind was canal. i looked on a map of the area and i see there is a Canal Lake in the area.

i also think the boyfriend is innocent of any wrongdoing.

I know Christi and I know she is a sweet person and her son is a fine boy. My prayers and the prayers of our church are with you and the family

I've lived in Blairsville forever and I hear the family all coming together that "she did not use drugs" but you wouldn't know it from some of her "friends" on her facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/search/?q=kristi+cornwell&init=quick#/KristiLCornwell

I don't think it was strange for Kristi to say "don't take me" because I think she did that to let her boyfriend know that someone was taking her. This let him know right away that she was in danger. Also, as far as her calling her mother first instead of 911 . I would have done the same thing because Kristi lived with her mom and she was out walking near their house so her mom could get to the area where Kristi was faster than the police. That is just my opinion. God Bless Kristi and her family. As always, prayers for her safe return home.

And to the ahole who commented on her marriages. How many women have you slept with? Lets talk about you.

Gosh, Anne, if I'm the "ahole" you're talking about, what part of "I apologize" (which I've said twice) do you not understand?

Since people insist on bringing up that comment over and over again, hopefully this will put it to rest (somehow I doubt it though)...I was casting no aspersions on Kristi for having been married three times. I was simply pointing out that typically, ex-marriages equal drama. Again, I wasn't saying Kristi is "dramatic," I was pointing out that for most people, having three exes would naturally introduce some drama into their lives. That doesn't mean I think she's at fault, loves drama, is less than a victim here, or whatever you're trying to read into my original comment.

Okay, so for the third time: I apologize for the comment. I do not know Kristi, so I should not have said something that could be so misconstrued. Perhaps Kristi had completely amicable divorces and no further repercussions from those people in her life. I hope that was the case.

Still waiting, hoping and praying that Kristi comes home to her friends and family safely.

Two things that occur to me when I read about Kristi..

First she was a very smart lady with law enforcement background...I suspect that under the right circumstances if she were in fear of an approaching car that was coming to stop by her, her first thought might be it was someone she knew..but if it wasnt then I think she would be describing the car, the driver and passengers if any..the fear she may be feeling.. the situation she felt she was in, all of this I would think she would be describing to her boyfriend on the phone..of course maybe circumstances did not allow her to do this..but I have concerns on this part of the story.

Also who called who? Did she call him when she got scared about the car...or did he call her? Or was she talking to him as the car approached.

I also have some of the same concerns as other people..the words "dont take me" do not ring true to me of a person in that situation..maybe something more like..."get away from me"..or a" Your NOT taking me"...but not his words of Dont take Me....it doesnt sound realistic to yell those words out...many many other words but not those..of course if he was stressed out and worried he may not have heard the words accurately if she were screaming or yelling them.

And my third thought...why was the boyfriend in Atlanta on that particular day...was it work or business, was it normal for him to be away..was he away on a trip for pleasure, or because he had to be there for business??...why did he go on that day? coincidence or something more?

WHAT INTEREST ME IS ... NO ONE SEEMS TO ADDRESS THE MATTER OF THE CELL PHONE.
IT SEEMS THAT THE PHONE WAS TURNED OFF RIGHT AFTER "DON'T TAKE ME" REMARK.
CELL PHONES STAY ON UNTILL A DISCONNECT OR TURNED OFF WHICH MEANS THERE WOULD BE OTHER SOUNDS. STRUGGLE, CURSEING, SCREAMS WHATEVER. MOST LIKELY THE PHONE WOULD HAVE BEEN DROPPED DURING STRUGGLE (AND STILL ON) YET IT WAS FOUND GOOD DISTANCE AWAY AS IF SECOND THOUGHT.
I DO NOT THINK SHE WOULD ASK THEM TO WAIT FOR HER TO TURN PHONE OFF NOR DO I THINK THAT THEIR FIRST MOVE WOULD BE TO GRAB THE PHONE AND TURN IT OFF.
SO WHY DID IT DISCONNECT?

Something smells funny here. A couple of things strike me as odd, including the boyfriend's story and the fact that she was supposedly out alone after dark, when her friends say she was a 'good mother.' How many single mothers go out alone in the dark leaving their children at home during precious family time? My instinct would have been to hang up and call 911 or at least yell CALL 911 into the phone. I want to know more about the boyfriend and his possible motives.

Plenty of mothers go for walks without their children during "precious family time"...it keeps mothers sane, besides he wasnt a little child, he's 15. 9pm is getting dark, but its not pitch black outside and she was close to home, so its not like walking through Central Park. I do think "dont take me" sounds strange, but who's to say what someone would do or say under duress, all kinds of crazy things might pop out of your mouth.

Perhaps the phone turned off when it was dropped due to a battery falling out? I am not sure what kind of phone she had. Just a thought....

Speak Out: exactly how are you involved with the family or this case? You haven't made that clear. Yes I am at home watching the news and reading updates. Hoping that Kristi's case turns out better than those of Meredith Emerson and Sue Ann Ray. Each were North Georgia ladies who suffered horrible fates.

For several years I was involved with law enforcement. I understand procedure. My statements are not thoughtless. maybe I am just viewing things from a different prospective.

no matter what the perspective.....are we not all intitled freedom.....let's not forget the innocent and those who are taken advantage of....She was a beautiful girl...inside and out.....may she be returned home safe and sound and give this mother and son the peace that they deserve. Love and prayers!

There are several things that seem strange, but until all the entire story has unfolded nothing will make sense. So far as her cell phone goes, we don't know what kind of phone she has. I have a sliding phone and it disconnects when pushed closed. The kidnapper could have taken the phone away (hence the boyfriend hearing a struggle) and closed it, then kept it and tossed it later down the road later. In addition, “don’t take me” may not have been what the boyfriend heard for sure. Is it possible she said “don’t rape me”, “don’t make me” (get in the car), etc.? If she was struggling and the phone was being taken from her, it’s also possible they were trying to put their hand over her mouth...how can anyone be sure of what he heard or if it was even everything he heard? The actual conversation cannot be disclosed for fear of compromising the investigation. When you’re out for a walk, you don’t typically take much with you. I’m curious to know what “personal belongings” they found in the separate location. Has it been determined if she called the boyfriend or if he called her while she was out walking?

My heart goes out to Kristi's family especially her son, I will be praying for the family and Kristi may God be with her and her family in this time of need. Love and Prayers from Kentucky!

I believe the boyfriend did soemthing to her and then threw her phone and called it so he could alibi himself. I really think this has happened to her. Its sad to think this way of people but dont people know by now they will always get caught when they do this heinous crime.

The boyfriend did soemthing to her and then ditched the cell and then called it so it showed his phone was connected to hers. Alibi??

I am amazed at the people that blog the things they do on here. The comments made at times are just unbelievable and a true waste of time for readers, let alone how they may make a family member of Kristi feel.
Listen, for those of you that don't live here.. you don't know our community and it's people.. Especially those who have lived here all their lives. This area is truly a place of it's own.This is not the big city, it's not a hussle bussle area. We aren't plagued with major crimes on a frequent basis, or infrequent basis for that matter. Most everyone that lives here has a genuine heart and cares enough to help others. We are very trusting folk, even in the hard & cruel world at times we live in. But we don't live in most of the world.. We live in Blairsville Georgia, not New York City, Chicago, Atlanta etc....Our guard doesn't always have to be "on Guard". Now unfortunately, we all feel as though our town is no longer safe and feeling uneasy.
The beauty that our town is set in is breath taking, charming, and within it's own little bubble of sorts.
When something like this takes place here...we all feel it!
I am sure Kristi had a certain amount of Trust Factor that night as a car approached. And how does anyone of you know what you would say or how you would react in a moments notice, and full of concern and fear? Also, for those that are playing investigators and guessing at what took place....leave that to the officials that have been here working endlessly for a week now. We have very capable law enforcement working on this case. The GBI is here and has been here since the early hours that this took place as well. I think they have and are covering every possible scenario.
I would suggest to those who think they are speaking in the best interest of Kristi and her family, to rethink before you type things..don't type speculated assumptions. Unless you have facts to share or want to lift Kristi and her family members as well as GBI, the searchers, law enforcement & volunteers up in prayer..please be mindful about what you voice.
Opinions are not needed here..facts and help are.
God Bless you Kristi, your son, & all your family and friends.

I too am suspicious of the boyfriend. I pray he was not involved and I do hope and pray for a safe return. From what I have read, she is a smart lady with skills of self-defense. I believe she will fight for her life and that precious son of hers to see again. I hurt for the family. May God comfort you and give the GBI wisdom to find her safe and the horrific people who may have done this.

I am psychic, but don't advertise about it.
I have had prophetic dreams about crimes that were true.
I dreamed that she was in a log cabin or rural home with a window in the center of the rear of the room that looked out over a deep gulley. There was a young child, and a man with the letters BRYAN in his first or last name, something funny about the Y in the name- and he was remotely related to an ex husband or ex in law, and/or a mother in law.
I feel foolish reporting this, but maybe someone will read this that can make some sense of it.

I just need to ask why the over thinking of her comment of "Don't take me."

Obviously, she was in a panicked state of mind and while I don't doubt that she said it, I do doubt that it was anything more than a startled reaction.

Some analysts are saying that she said that as some code phrase to let her boyfriend know that she was being abducted and I have to believe that if she were in the right frame of mind, she would have said more or given more details...

I think that "Don't take me" means exactly that. DON'T TAKE ME.

I hope to heaven that she is found soon. It dismays me every day to know that women cannot walk on this earth without fear of some deviant taking them. The more true crime novels I read about rapists and/or murderers, the more I realize that women need to be armed while walking, period.

It has been said that she must not have been careful and it is being asked why she was walking in the "dark" but it has been said time and time again that it was 9:00 p.m. and not entirely dark. She certainly had a right to walk at whatever time of night without fear of being abducted.

As an educator who teaches people to stay safe from crime by developing a plan, the first comment I feel I must make is that, unless you've been in such a situation, it is impossible to know what you might say, when fear has overtaken you. We never expect to be victims, especially so close to home. Until evidence to the contrary, we have to assume she was overpowered, and caught by surprise. All over the country, there have been attacks on the public in daylight in shopping malls, let alone an area such as this one is described. Observation and awareness is key, strategy and tactics next, and finally, physical motions if it comes to that. Keep in mind, law enforcement officers can be caught offguard, and even though they have weapons, there are no guarantees, so citizens need to sharpen the best weapon they have....their brain! Make things difficult for criminals by not giving them the "opportunities" so to speak, that they rely on, such as leaving valuables in plain sight in your vehicles, carrying too many packages when leaving a store, having bushes in front of your home that may obscure windows or give attackers a place to hide. Install proper locks on doors, and have an escape plan in case of fire, that can also be used if someone breaks into your home. This and more will make you a "Hard Target", and much safer. Check out http://www.pptlifestyle.com, or http://www.ncvc.org for more safety tips. Please extend prayers or whatever good wishes you can to the victim, as well as her family and friends, who right now are also victims by extension, something else people generally fail to realize is also a part of the equation of crime.

Thank you so much, Gemm! Only those closest to this case know how tirelessly these men and women have worked to find Kristi knowing that every minute counts. They have pooled the resources of local, state, and federal agencies and worked around the clock following up on hundreds, if not over a thousand leads by this point. Please, everyone, please pray for a break in this case and for Kristi's return.

As I said before, I am not a psychic. I am a prayer intercessor. I recieved a call from the GBI today because I sent them a message on the 16th and they are working tirelessly on every thing they get. For the person that said they are a psychic and said something about a specific name. That is one of the people that I became concerned about on the 13th and that has been checked. It is public knowledge. Law enforcement has checked out all sex offenders. That is what you are talking about isn't it.

Just because the boyfriend's cell phone was used in Atlanta to phone Cornwell doesn't mean that it was him making the call.

I read a comment on Associated Press last nite saying that Kristi might have been saying "don't taze me". Makes sense. I agree it must have happened very fast and more might have been said into the phone that the public has not been told. I hope they check all the people she knew even old guys. I had an older man become obsessed with me and showed definite stalking behaviors. The police would not listen to me saying "oh, he's just an old man" and "maybe he just likes you". I'm convinced he was thinking of abducting me and absolutely no one would have suspected him or had any inkling if it had happened. Check everyone out!

On the news today they had Kristi's mom and brother and her mom was talking I noticed she was talking in past tense. I so hurt for what the family is going thru and it angers me that some sorry person would put any family in this situation. My prayer is that what this person has done in the dark would be brought into the light. I live in a peaceful place in North Georgia and there is a detention center not too far from my home. Recently 2 convicts had been transfered from atlanta to this detention center. Well they got loose and guess where they came. Straight to our farm. They tried to steal my father-in-laws truck and had ripped the ignition out only to find that the key was in the truck after they did it. A few homes in our neighborhood have been robbed in the past but never us we feel safe here. The dog started barking and my father in law scared the men off when he went to the shed to take the key out of the truck because we had been told of the escape.They went through the woods and came and stayed in the woods beside my home then. It is scary and everyone was staying in their house. Law enforcement was everywhere. Dogs were brought in and tracked them to the wooded area right beside my home. One of the officers was suddenly in my front yard with another officer with him and the dogs. They told me that the men were tracked there and then the dogs were just too tired. They told me that they felt they had hidden and would be there thru the night and probably try again to steal the truck. I was up all night while my son and husband slept. I said all that to say this. I can see going in your home if someone has broke out of prison or something like that, because any object they get their hands on can become a weapon they can use on you to get what they want which is usually to get away from where they are. But when a report comes accross that someone has been abducted and people hear it I think the people in that area should be on high alert for any one or thing they see or hear or smell that may be out of the norm. I think they should grab their spouse or someone and say come stand on the porch with me and lets look at the road and see what we may see. That person has what they want and they are just looking not to get caught but to hide then and those first hours are so vital. The whole community in the blairsville area has been doing what they can and looking. If I lived closer and didn't have a young child in school I would be there helping look for any evidence I could find and praying every step. Lord you and you alone know where she is lead me and show me. I can't be there but I am praying and doing what I can from my computer and I am not talking about just this blog. Some people have said some things about this young woman on here that would be very hurtfull to the family if they saw it. Just remember she is that moms baby no matter how old she is, and she is that boyfriends beauty, and that brothers sister and that sons mother. Would you like people saying those things about you, your boyfriend or girlfriend, your sister or brother or your mother or father or your child. This woman is a Christian woman and precious to the Lord and her family and friends. Please think about that and them before you say hurtful things about the people who love her and the people she loves.

Her being Christian doesn't increase my sympathy for her one iota, Theresa.

Might be a good time to call in Texas Equusearch. They would be able to organize enough people to cover alot of ground. Large wooded areas can be eliminated without tying up valuable LE who are working on so many other leads etc.

I'm wondering about some of the ex-hubby's? and I agree with some of the posters here, if someone was kidnapping me I would surely give as many details to the person on the other end of the phone about the abductor. I find it a little fishy that he called her mother? instead of 911 immediately? what no 3 way call to 911? Is there any real evidence that it was even Kristi on the other end of the phone? Seems a little staged to me or something.

A prayer for Kristi and her loved ones.
Please pray this with me.

Father God, Lord hear our voices as we pray for Kristi, her precious son, her family, friends, and everyone involved in finding her.
Lord, we pray for the safety & return of Kristi.We come together today with heavy hearts, worried minds, & hope. Many of us feel helpless and weak and heavily burdened that we can not do more to help. We join together as a knitted blanket Father and ask that you use this prayer to cover Kristi with that blanket. A blanket of comfort, peace, love and protection. We ask that the blanket of prayer cover her family and friends as well father. Bring them encouragement and renewed spirit. Bring them aide for their daily journey, food for their strength, a bounty of blessings and the miracle they need desperately...Kristi's safe return to them.
Father we thank you..we thank you for your very presence in this family's lives..Their strong faith in you that is their beacon of light that gets them through the darkness. We thank you for your love and we thank you for being the Mountain of Refuge for them. Thank you Father for your son..
The perfect Lamb, The Bread of Life, The Light of the World, that through him we can come to you and lay our burdens at the foot of the Cross.
Father if it be your will, I ask for a break in Kristi's case & her safe return. I ask for you to pluck the evil roots that bind the person/s that took Kristi and humble their hearts.
Father if it is not your will at this time I ask that you give Kristi and her family the graces needed to carry this Cross. If Kristi is sick or injured provide her healing, strengthen her body and soul father & provide her with the necessities she needs. Guide her Father if she is lost and lead her back home to her loved ones who miss and worry for her.
I pray this in Jesus'name, The Name above all names.
Amen

I am deeply sorry that this terrible thing has happened. I cannot understand why anyone in these days and times would be walking on a non lit road in the middle of no-where.? I think it may be time for her family to hear the words recovery from the police. When they use those words and call off the heavy searches, they have un-officially declared her dead. I do hope she is found alive and well,however, it looks pretty grim at the moment.

I just contacted the GBI.I have gotten info on crimes before.I am a practicing psychic,medium.Kristi was abducted. He was a man she knew from a while before.He had been looking and sort of stalking her prior.Smaller build around 5.8-9 sandy blond br hair.approx 26 yr.the plan was to raper her not to kill her. I don't think that is what she said on thephone it was misunderstood. He managed to tie her in the back of a lighter car. with very large tie down straps. She was quite the fighter and all he had was a knife and stun gun. The stun gun is what helped him, because in a way she was bigger than he but he works some construction and his arms were stronger than she was. I see he took her north west of that area around a state park in the woods near roads either holly or sparks. Everytime I feel her I get a terrible head ach. We was going to rape her but she fought so much he (i hate this part) strangled her and also hit her on the head..that is where the head ach comes in because once I finish meditate on her. I have to ask her to take the head ach away and she does. I get her energy as strong,angry at herself for being there and she is wanting to tell this to her family so they will find her and have closure. She is fine now. But this unfinished business is bothering her. I get the name of someone a Jesse not sure who that is. I get he paniced and once he realized she was gone he was freaked out, he took her down the reveen toward water like a creek combined with a small lake. He put her in a small indention of the ground and covered her with leaves,twiggs etc. Hounds will be able to find her. Once they get close she tells me she will guide them. She knew this guy had a problem and was a possible threat and now she is angry at herself for not doing more about him and his problems. She did not recongnize him at first because it had been a while since she saw him. But she had seen his car before. He has told another friend that I think may also be a family member (who is feeling guilty about this)what happen because he did not plan on her passing. I hate the family will read this and loose hope but I have to tell what I see. that is how i am with my clients and that is what they want the truth. so please don't judge me. I don't charge for my services. I just want to help. I pray I am wrong and she comes back.

Kristi was likely subdued w/ a tazer or a drug to make it easier for her to be taken. I read she had her bluetooth on, and the perps may have missed that it was attached to her ear.
How many times are we to hear of another white van spotted near where a woman goes missing? When will the government admit to this war on women? It is NOT normal for this many women and children to be abducted, again and again. The criminals are not getting smarter on their own. They are acting in a concerted effort with others. Let us bring the resources home to take care of the war we have here, and furthermore, toughen the laws! They won't be so brazen should their lives be ended for such a crime. If it were men being targeted, the laws would be much stronger. It's time to take a stand for all women and children people. Action and organization is needed.

WOW, the only thing missing from this "story" is that two black males were involved. Very suspicious.

I would like to tell the family and friends of Ms. Cornwell that you all are in my thoughts & prayers right along with Kristi, herself! I pray God's protection over her & for her safe return home to you all.

I also offer a strong strong bit of advice to those of you who are putting your two cents in about her lifelstyle. history, boyfriend, and anything else you have no business--this woman has a family and friends who all love her very much and it takes a very low person to disrespect them by defacing a page such as this! Keep your ugly and hateful opinions that won't make any difference to the case at all to yourself!! Put yourselves in their shoes for one minute and ask yourself if you would want anyone saying such horrbile things! I didn't think so!

To Kristi's family: My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I can't begin to imagine what you are going through. I do agree with some of the other posts who have mentioned these attacks on women and children and how many there have been lately. I live in SC and there is an unsolved murder of an elderly woman in the upstate and it has torn that community apart. I do hope the police and other authorities will be vigilent in their search and find Kristi soon. I pray for her family's sake, she is found safe. Whatever the outcome, my God keep this family and community in Hands and may they experience peace. The hardest part is the wait.

First I want to say to the family how sorry I am for what you are going through. In November of 2007 my dear friend Erika Wilson went through the same thing when her son Justin Gaines went missing. We searched for months, and he has still not been found. From that experience I know your current situation is that of proufound sadness, and I continue to pray for your family.

Having said that I agree with many of the posters who have said they feel "Don't take me" would be anyone's last words. As a woman who walks alone in and around my area, I know if I was talking to my husband, or anyone for that matter, and a car began to follow me the information I gave would be detailed and lengthy. I would also step well off of the road, and if someone got out of the car I would begin screaming the description of who was taking me, "help me", and many other things...but not "Don't take me". That line sounds more like a convenient explaination of what happened to her, not something a woman would scream in that particular situation.

Perhaps the boyfriend was at home talking with her, but hiring someone to kidnap a girlfriend is not unheard of.

it could be someone from the school she attends lots of different kind of people in dalton ga. i was followed home from a resturant one night. by a young college guy i spoke to. he almost messed up his life. and really scared me.there is a large community from mexico in dalton. i hope and pray to god, she returns home safe.may god bless her family.

I was thinking of Kristi's background, the training she has received and knowing how to defend herself. I don't think she would have been taken without a desperate struggle. I too think the words she spoke were odd. In Calif. we heard the words were Please don't take me. This seems something a victim would say, not a trained parole officer. Why throw out her cell two miles down the road? Why leave a trail of personal items unless she was removed from the car or tried to jump out. I to am a Christian and am praying for Kristi.

Tammy I stand in agreement with your prayer. In Jesus Name.

Many have expressed skepticism about the phrase " Don't take me ". But consider this: if she knew and recognized her abductor, it would not be an unusual statement.

I heard this story this morning in maine and feel very sorry for her and her family. I hope that they find her safe and not far from home. My family and i will keep you/her in our thoughts.

I would like to start by saying that, I pray for Kristi and her family.Kristi was a friend of mine. I feel like I do know what kind of person she was. I can tell you that I know for a fact that she did not do drugs.I will tell you she was a good mother and that taking a walk at dusk does not make you a BAD mother.
John in NC. You did make a hurtful and wrong comment.
But, you have said you were sorry three times!!!
God ask us to forgive.. That is what I have done.
That THING that made the comment about her being a Chriatian did not increase their sympathy for her one iota. GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL!! As for her Boyfriend, I watched him this morning on the Today Show.What a fine spoken man that seems to be a strong man of great faith. And, that is all what we need to live by now. Love in Christ~

I noticed mention of a psychic in the mix of comments. Don't ever believe psychic ability does not exist, or discount it. My wife is pre-cognitive in that she sometimes dreams or sees events which actually do come to pass later. That is a God-given talent. Psychics, too have their place in God's kingdom. Those who practice can be in the range of 80% accuracy.
There is also a North Carolina woman missing, and no one has ever found Tara Grinstead, to date. Whether these are linked, or not is anyone's guess. Evidence in some of the unsolved incidents should be compared to determine if there is any link.

Bill I totally agree with you... The phrase "Dont't take me"sounds like to me that she knew this person.Ex.. Boyfriend??? I pray that Kristi is safe. I know that she is strong in her faith. Love in Christ~

My thoughts and prayers are with this family.

I was just watching an interview with Kristi's father, and when they asked him if he had any warnings/advice for others he blurted out something about "being careful about people you meet on the internet..." Which was a telling comment in my mind. Do you think there has been some evidence of Kristi maybe meeting others online, dating sites, etc... I could see someone convincing her they were a christian, maybe a good person, and she arranges to meet them away from her parents house. (Who wants to explain to their parents you're meeting someone from the internet at age 39?) Maybe called her long distance "BF" because she got a bad feeling about this? There's a reason the father mentioned "internet meetings" I just wonder what it is.

http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/32488819/ns/today-today_people/

The new BF gave me the creeps. How dang old is he? And is he truly a minister as in ordained and has a church? Is that what he does for a living?

I would investigate the men the Kristy has been involved with. Even smart, Christian women can make bad choices in men. It is moo, that Douglas Davis was another bad choice.

My heart is heavy and sad for Kristi's family and friends. I am curious to know if she was walking away from the home, or walking toward the home? Maybe she had been walking farther than she thought and just didn't realize it was getting almost dark. I certainly pray for her safe return. I can't imagine what her family must be feeling.I find the words" Please don't take me " to be strange, but maybe the boyfriend misunderstood . Strange case.

I completely agree with people who posted that something is NOT RIGHT about the boyfriend's story. It is NOT a "horrible thing to say." What would be "horrible" is if people ignored the blazing red flags that are waving around this boyfriend's story and he got away with killing her.
He may be completely innocent...but who goes out ALONE in the DARK on a deserted road like that? Especially someone who knows the dangers. Most women have walking partners and know not to go out alone...she was working in the justice system. His interview today was all wrong...He referred to her in the past tense several times and looked down through most of it.
It doesn't make sense...none of it does...he NEEDS to be completely ELIMINATED and as far as I'm concerned that has not happened yet.

You can read the interview with the boyfriend here.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32488819/ns/today-today_people/

The boyfriend is a minister. I was not able to open the video at that site but I read the story. I don't know what to think now...

How did anyone know where Kristi was at when she was abducted?

Who takes a serious walk on a hard surface road in the heat with flip-flops on?

Maria,

You are correct about Kristi being online to meet people. I once chatted with her on christiancafe.com last December for maybe half an hour. I read her profile and learned about her after she contacted me one night when I was checking messages. Unfortunately, the weirdos out there make it difficult for the good guys like me on these sites. The suspicion is always there about meeting people from online dating sites and women especially have to be extremely cautious and careful in first time meetings with strangers for the most part.

Also, I am very sorry to hear that Kristi is missing and I only pray that she returns safely to her loving family soon.

A couple of things fishy here! For one, I think she would have said more, like call the cops, I'm on this road and the color & make of car at least!! Instead of this please don't take me. With all of the Crime shows on these days, people are getting smarter in tricking the cops. He could have made this call, and it seemed as though he was talking with her on the phone, duh! I'm not pointing fingers, but it does seem a bit fishy. I'm sure they will figure it out.

seems to me that the boyfriend should be a person of interest in this....sounds fishy to me. Sadly I bet that he is involved in this.

I'm not a psychic, intuitive maybe, but not a psychic. But today while praying for Kristi, I felt a few things very strongly. I feel a strong need to share them with you. I'm not a kook - just someone who knows what it is to lose someone to a violent crime. Maybe some word will spark an idea or a new place to search. Anything to bring your precious Kristi back home.

My impressions: She is near water that has movement/wakes that "splash" upon the shore. And weeds/rushes in the shallow areas. The number 12 and the words BLUE, ARM, NEAR AN ARM, TRUE BLUE, FLAT, PLYMOUTH and BEEKER/BEAKER came to me. There are airplanes that fly overhead, fairly low. When thinking about the person with her, I thought of a blue vehicle, red hair and a boy (younger than Kristi - 20's) and again the words TRUE BLUE and ARM/NEAR AN ARM.

After this, I thought about everything I felt and then went to the internet to look up the place she was taken. I saw that there is a BLUE RIDGE HWY that runs through there. Is this also the GA State Route 325 where they found her phone? I then went to 1200 Blue Ridge Hwy on Mapquest (because of the number 12). That address is fairly close to the airport it appears and is right at River Bend Farm Road. I don't know what river that is that runs through there. Has anyone searched this area?

I truly hope that your beautiful Kristi will be brought home soon! She sounds like a very special woman!

There are no circumstances, IMO where the words "Don't take me" make any sense. If I knew the person I'd scream so my BF could hear me..."Jack! What are you DOING? Heeeeelp! Jack's taking me...call 911!!!"

"Please don't take me" will never make sense to me. I hope the BF is not involved...but there's so many things that don't add up with his story. His interview this morning just made it worse. He looked down when he answered many of the questions. Referred to her in the past tense quite a few times and he shook his head NO when he was talking about the positive things about their relationship.
I hope they can eliminate him. I don't want it to be him...but in NO WAY do I think that this lovely woman ran off by herself...no way. You can tell that her child means the world to her in the photos and the video. So that leaves the BF...and his story which does not make sense or this crazy bizarre abduction theory that makes no sense either.
I also don't believe that she would go out walking past a certain time at night by herself. She knew better than that.

I think the boyfriend paid someone to kidnap Kristi. He wouldn't have to be there at the time and what woman is going to tell them..."PLEASE..Don't take me."? I am a woman and if that happened to me,,, You bet your butt I would not ASK them, NOT to take me,,I would be screeming and yelling and fighting with everything that I had, including my "CELL PHONE!" Please...Give me a break....I think the boyfriend is behind all of this!

My thoughts and prayers are with Kristi and her Family. May God be with you. Blessings

I had posted a comment over an hour ago and it has not been posted on this site ???????

With much respect to the family and those following Ms. Cornwell's case, I gotta ask-

Isnt anyone bothered by the parallels of this case and the HBO Series True Blood, running right now?

I am bothered by the phrase "Don't take me". It is completely illogical to the circumstances, especially for a woman with law enforcement training. Everyone knows the ole Gavin De Becker rules. If they are taking you somewhere, your going there to die at best. There is nothing a perp is going to do that requires putting someone in a vehicle, that does not end in death.

How ingenious it would be to get your girl to "play along" a kidnapping fantasy while your 2 hours away, for her to find out she was not in the "memo". Just a thought.

This kind of an abduction is rarer than rare.
B

I find it very strange that the boyfriend did not call 911 and that he had Krist's mother do it-one of the things heard. My heart goes out to Kristi's family and it scares me that us women can't even go for a walk alone at night without something happening. I think that the boyfriend does need to be checked out and police and the GBI need to search like areas close to there like all parks, and whoever took Kristi in the car will need to eventually stop for gas- so all convenience stores should be checked within the area and further around the area and I hope and pray that Kristi will be returned to her family and that the creep who took her will pay and is crazy for having done this to an innocent woman who just went out to relax and go for a walk. I hope that they catch the creep who took Kristi and she is in my prayers for a safe return. All women need to be aware when they go out for a walk at night or just when they go for a walk whenever day or night. It is sad that us women have to be so aware of creeps out there-but in larger cities we do need to be aware of creeps out there and everywhere.

This case really has sparked my interest and there seems to be a split opinion on what has happened to Kristi. I just watched her BF's interview on the Today show and am not sure how I feel after watching. He seemed sincere but at the end, IMO, it was like he was preaching a sermon. He also stated he could not comment on the conversation he was having with Kristi at the time of the abduction, so I am wondering if there are details the public is not aware of as of yet. I hope and pray the comments posted by those who claim to be psychics are useful but more than anything that these posts are not hoaxes. How hurtful it would be to Kristi's family. In this day and time people are mean and it is hard to know who you can trust. I live in a college town and see young girls out walking & jogging late at night and like others have stated, please be aware of your surroundings and trust your instincts. I hope this case is solved soon and Kristi is safely returned home.

If we listen to the news. Kristi went walking regularly. That is what her mother said when she told her I am going on my walk now. It is not unusual for people to walk alone and there were other people neighbors who walked also. She was talking to her boyfriend and said something to him about a car approaching and she had to step to the side of the road. He said he could hear the struggle but he wasn't even near blairsville. He tried to reach blairsville authorities twice I believe is what he said and both times because of the way they were trying to connect him he was disconnected. Then he called Kristi's mother. As far as him sounding like he was preaching, He is a minister that is the life he was called to and that becomes a part of your total being. He spoke with passion for what he was talking about and that was getting Kristi back home safely. His faith is evident in that he believes she is still alive.I saw him on the news and he did not look down all the time. Also it is not dark here in Ga at 920pm. I am sure they have verified his story with phone records and people from his church. So I am pretty sure they have eliminated him as a suspect. That is what they have said.

When I said she was a Christian, It in no way infered weakness. That is her greatest strength because He Christ is for her, and not against her. I was't trying to increase your sympathy one iota but if you dont have sympathy over the whole ordeal something is truely wrong with you.

Please know that I am reading everyone's posts, and even though I can't respond individually and leave someone out -we all greatly appreciate any and all help in finding Kristi. Thank you for all of your beautiful prayers, sympathy, and thoughtful words.
For those who would like to help, please visit www.kristicornwell.com. Please keep posting your thoughts, and keep praying!

Gay in GA: You realize you flippantly and dismissively called a person a "THING" (emphasis yours) because they don't echo your own religious beliefs. How Christian is that? Ed saying that Kristi's religious faith doesn't increase his sympathy for her situation is NOT saying that he doesn't have sympathy for her in general. Personally, I strongly agree with the assertion that someone's religion (or lack of religion!) does not make their suffering any more or less terrible/unjust.

On a similar note:

What the heck is happening here, Steve? Where did this cabal of religious whackadoos and self-proclaimed psychics/mediums come from? :( I managed to spot ONE (muffled) shout out to science in the midst of all the word salad. Among the dense blocks of religious blather, personal entreaties and straight up delusions, there are less than a handful of links to external sources and no thoughtful speculation about the situation at hand (actually, that's clearly anathema to this crowd).

Who are these people? Are they all from GA? What year is it?

Is this typical reasoning and behavior for people from the American South? The Yankee Liberal Elitist in me is trying very hard to be tolerant, but the rest of me just wants to rock back and forth in a dark, quiet room for a few hours...

NOTE FROM STEVE: It's not a Southern thing, not this time. A Southern Thang is more the invoking of religion. Missing persons cases just generally seem to bring out more 'psychics' than usual. They just don't always comment on the blog posts as they're doing here. I'm a skeptic, but they aren't violating any commenting rules, so the comments are published.

I agree Steve, this thread could be a brain teaser however all the religious zealots are driving me crazy I thought this site was more of a discussion site not a church sermon.

I too hope this case closes on a happy note however the father said on his interview "BE CAREFUL WHEN TALKING ON THE INTERNET, DON'T MEET PEOPLE YOU TALK TO THERE" Where did that comment come from?

NOTE FROM STEVE: I don't want it to be sermon hour either. Since I'm from the South I'm probably more accustomed to being patient with that sort of thing, though being from down here can produce the opposite result for some. And I believe most folks who express prayers and invoke His name are being completely sincere, and I could never hold that against anyone. I'm a Christian but not a conservative, per se, (we do exist, no matter what some will say) and in general, much more like a European about faith - it's a private matter between God & me and not something I need to wear on my sleeve. But that's how some other folks interact with the world and I won't censor it if it's directed at the topic of the post. I delete or spam comments that are really abusive, overly profane (one f-word might be fine, in context - three or four may not make it), completely off-topic and this is the most subjective, purely idiotic. If you folks knew how many of all these types I get daily, you'd think comment moderation was more than half my job here.

On-topic now: yes, I'm very curious to know about the reason for a comment like that from her dad. Very.

Okay, here we go again with my long post that was not posted yesterday (condensed today).

[1] Kristi had a degree in criminal science, had hands on firearm education, took (and some say taught) self defense classes, worked in the criminal justice system at a prison and was a probation officer .... my question; with all this background education why in the world was she out at dark (or almost dark)on an isolated road with no self protection whatsoever?

(2) A poster above said that she posted on Christian internet dating sites .... even if it was a supposedly Christian site, people can say they are anything on the internet (Christian, etc.) and it can be a ballfaced lie such as child molesters that invade teen and children sites.

I sincerely hope the FBI confiscates Kristi's computer hard drive and persuses all sites she has frequented as well as all her emails .... her computer could give the most important clues that will solve this crime.

As far as psychic posters, there have been many crimes that have been solved by psychics .... all you have to do is google 'crimes solved by psychics' and see for yourself ... I have also seen cases that were solved by psychics on TV (reality TV, not fiction).

Just a few comments about the recent comments:
The psychics that are calling the tip line are not typically from GA. They are from all over the world and started calling when this story made the national news.

It is the duty and obligation of Evangelical Christians to spread the good news about Jesus Christ at every chance so that all may have the opportunity to accept Him as their Saviour. They are doing this out of love, not out of "preachiness," so please be tolerant as you would of any other people carrying out the practices of their faith.

I wish that internet dating sites didn't exist, personally. By chatting with people online, you have a false sense of knowing them, and feel a false sense of security, when they could really be just crazy. My general opinion only- not related to this case.

People who are just becoming aware of this case and are asking questions like, "Have the police done ___," or " I wonder if they have looked into ____,"(fill into the blank whatever you want.) The answer is "YES." They have done everything you can dream up and more. I promise. They are still following every lead, even though the massive ground search had to stop this week. There is no way that every inch of the national forest could be searched, so they prioritized all of the most likely locations - and then some.

News releases and the interview with the boyfriend
all say that they can't comment further on what he heard during the abdution. The 911 call transcripts are also not being released as this is an ongoing investigation. So many people on here and other sites keep saying, "don't take me sounds so fake," when they don't even know what was said or how it was said. It's tiring.

Also, the bf called the mother because he was in Atlanta and the abduction occured in Blairsville which is hours away. If he called 911, he would get a different department. If he called her mom, she could look out of the window (Kristi was walking near their home there) to see if she saw anything and also call the local 911 center.

All that being said, please pray for a break in this case!

I got to thinking about the struggle between Kristi and her abductor. It seems to me that if she was fighting with all of her might, the automobile may have damage to it around or on the doors and sides. If that is the case the abductor may try to have the damage fixed. If law enforcement let this be known, maybe the bodyshops would be on the outlook for the vehicle matching this description and maybe they could get info that way.

Maybe Kristi has been talking to someone on the internet for a while she enjoys the banter back and forth !

I have had several conversations with internet buddies that I find smart and fun to debate with none that I would want to meet on a isolated dark street, unfortunately some of these people are preditors I'm sure I heard on one of the news updates the GBI or FBI confiscated the girl's computer.

SPEAK OUT... I respect anyone's religion I too and a born again Christian, however outside my religion I like to go on True Crime sites listen to people's opinions. This site is just that where you can throw around different ideas on specific crimes nobody should worry about being bashed because they may have an opinion on the crime that doesn't fit the victim's religious beliefs or actions sometimes a crime is solved by a outsider looking at the facts from a scientific mind instead of a friend looking at the situation from a concerned heart.
Nobody knows the true mind or actions of any given person how they would react or respond to a situation but the actual person in that situation.

Oh, I have no problem with having internet buddies as long as you don't give out personal information pertaining to yourself.

On the Today Show yesterday he claimed to be a minister, but I haven't heard that reported on any of the MSM. Did she meet him on the net? Does anyone know how they met or where (what church) he is a minister?

semi-biography of Douglas Davis:

http://www.elianagodanswers.org/Douglas-Davis.html

According to a source on another blog, a friend introduced them several weeks ago .... which begs the question, how could a possible long term relationship develop from a few weeks' of dating and communicating, especially after she had been burned before with 3 previous marriages ... it just doesn't add up?

Love you and Nancy-try not to miss a show. I know that there is no way that I can get through on the phone so I hope that somehow I can get an answer to this question. We know that Kristi Cornwell has been married at least once since she has a 15 year old son-but somewhere along the way there was a news report that she has been divorced more than once. If this is true, has her ex or ex's been investigated?
Lois in Geneva-on-the-Lake, Ohio

Everyone knows that Mr. Davis is not a suspect in this. He has been cleared of all suspicion. There are many people who fall in love quickly and have short romances.

To Lois DiFore, Kristi had been married and divorced 3 times and all her exes have been investigated and cleared.

Yes, Kristi has been married and divorced 3 times. All ex's have been cleared of suspicion.

[b]Cornwell said:
"Everyone knows that Mr. Davis is not a suspect in this. He has been cleared of all suspicion. There are many people who fall in love quickly and have short romances."[/b]

I never said Mr. Davis was a suspect, but at this point I believe everyone is suspect. I do not believe Mr. Davis was involved .... what I was commenting on was his statement to Ann Curry that they had discussed a long term relationship after having dated only a few weeks.

I agree. But she has always trusted people. Kristi has always been kind hearted. Mr. Davis is not a suspect, nor are the ex's. I think someone had posted on another website, something like "the older you get, the shorter the romances before you get married."

The local news had Richard Cornwell the brother to Kristi and he said the information they have was given to the friend over the phone by Kristi. She did tell what she was in the midst of. It is not all being released to the public. Probably for her protection or so law enforcement will know when someone slips up.

It's nice that she trusted people, but she had to have seen a lot of criminal behavior in her profession and she had to be aware that this world is not necessarily a safe and trusting place ... she was trained in that, especially after what happened just up the road from Balirsville with that awful abduction and murder last year.

It really bothers me that she was walking so late and (evidently) had no protection.

Theresa, I don't know what information was released other than her screams.
Samantha, I'm sure she did see a lot of criminal behavior, but I think she beleived that deep down people were good. I don't know why she didn't have protection.

The BF seems to be promoting himself. Only today did he post on his webpage about Kristi's disappearance. I find the man very self-serving and untrustworthy. Even if he isn't involved in her disappearance, the man is using her disappearance for his own benefit. Something isn't right about this entire incident. The majority of people who talk about Kristi's disappearance think there is something missing or fishy about the crime.

I don't know Mr. Davis, and again, he has been cleared of all suspicion. I thought he looked sad when I saw him on the news.

To Blairsville Girl:

I do not know how you conclude that the BF is "Very Self-serving and untrustworthy."
And what is it exactly that he is doing to benefit himself due to Krisit's disappearance?
From what I have read, researched and watched, he is a humble man of the Lord, has spent his ENTIRE life living for God's Glory, not his own and leading others to Christ. He has been involved in a lifetime of ministries. I looked over his ENTIRE site and found nothing there that would lead me to believe any of what you have stated above.
I think maybe you should take a step back and try and realize what this man has been through for the past 9 days.
A woman he cares deeply for has vanished. Can you imagine what runs through his mind during his quiet moments?
I am sure he has been under much stress, time constraining interviews with officials, as well as traveling, and I am sure many, many other things that are going on behind the scenes of this tragic event that we are not privy to. I certainly wouldn't be concerned about making posts on my own site right away when there were more important issues at hand, also, his short prayer request entry sounded like it was mainly directed towards the people within his own ministry and church body as he stated that he knew that prayer partners had already been contacted and the prayer chains started for Kristi, and then thanked them for this.
I just don't get where you are coming up with "Your assumptions here?

please stop making reference to divorces as being soooo negative. I know Kristi and it has been 20 years time for these mariages. It is not like she was flipping them every two days. 20 years people. get over it. How many long relationships have you had in 20 years?

CORNWELL I am sorry for what is happening in your lives. Mr.Davis was on the news and said when questioned he was not allowed to talk about the phone call. Thank you, Yes I did hear tonight about the screams. Again, I am truely sorry and will continue praying and keep my eyes open.

Gemm, it is just one person's opinion. No need to become unglued about it. Fact of the matter is, there are plenty of people that have given their life and lived their life for the Lord. Some of them reside in prisons. Just because someone claims to be Christian does not make them exempt from all types of sin.

I read how people viewed him in the video then looked at the video myself and didn't see what they were seeing. But, I may not be as sharp as those that see something "off" with him.

I would think that Kristi described the cars to Davis, and this is where they got the information on the white van and light colored smaller car. There is no telling what other information they may have gotten.

As for the divorce statements made here, the truth can be hurtful, but it doesn't make it false. The guy apologized no less than three times. Sheesh, and the ones that keep saying something all seem to tout that they are Christian! The Lord forgives, you should give it a try too!

Thank you everyone for understanding how painful this is for both Kristi's family and Mr. Davis'. Any negative comments are hurtful to not only Kristi's family, but to her boyfriend's family as well. No, we cannot talk about the specific details, but if anyone does have any information, please contact the authorities. Please visit kristicornwell.com for more details.

I have followed the news about Kristi and i am worried sick
about her. In an early article, Mr. Davis commented that she "is a fighter". i hope and pray that she survives this ordeal and is reunited with her family. maybe somewhere(in a hospital? ) there is a critically wounded man- compliments of Kristi. She may be trying to make her way back home.
In good times and bad, praise His name.

JadenSmokes.
I don't disregard any person's ability to allow evil to come into their lives. That was not my point, and I think you are misreading my questions and thoughts above. Infact I never stated anything regarding him being Exempt because he is a Chrisitan.
The points I was trying to make was that I did not see anywhere, at any time, in ALL the the information that I thoroughly read, that pointed to Mr. Davis as a "Very Self-Serving man. That was reaping Benefits because of Kristi's disappearance. I asked where she got her conclusions from?
Also, I do believe that many posts on these types of blogs are so stretched with nonsense that they mindlessly try and destroy another persons Character and that it takes away from the Much needed focus. The Victim! Ideas and thoughts are great...but we also have to realize that all involved in this very sad case, live, breathe hurt and have a life to live daily, without the one they love in it. Let's not forget the fact that these blogs have the ability to influence others opinions as well, without being factual in nature. Many people aren't thorough and don't review everything. People were writing in & attacking this man from the get go when they knew nothing about him. Then after he puts himself out there and speaks openly, they attack him more, even after he has been thoroughly reviewed by the GBI and law enforcement. So where does it end? When another persons life is snatched away by circumstance?
Is it to much to ask to be a reasonable person before blurting an opinion? To take into consideration how a comment or post may affect the heart and mind of the victims? I'm sorry if you or another does not agree with me here..Further more I do not believe I was "Coming unglued" as you stated. I was direct, to the point, very clear, and mindful of the questions and explained my thoughts fairly thoroughly.
Do I have a heart for God? You bet I do. Do I think any other person that doesn't is any less than I? No way.
We are all in need of a Savior though, and it is every lover of Christ's calling to spread his word and his love.
As to your statement about people "touting that they are a Christian"..I Have not seen such a thing here. However, I have heard people speak of their love and faith in God. I have heard their deep concern out of Sisterly/brotherly love in Christ,& I have heard the offer of prayer/s.
Is this wrong in your eyes?
Honestly the term Christian, in my opinion, is a TITLE.
I don't shout from the roof tops "I am a Christian!"
But I do stand as bold as a lion and shout I LOVE MY GOD because he loved me SOOOOO much, and he is AWESOME & MIGHTY! If you think that is "Touting"
well I am proud to Tout Away :)
The title of Christian means nothing if you bare no good fruit from your spiritual walk & faith.
As a side note to any and all who have "issues" with commentors professing their loving faith and their prayers,
please keep in mind that our community here in Blairsville is RICH in LOVE & Faith, and I know that it is from that "Richness" that the Cornwell Family can rise every day, and put a foot forward and continue with their journey.
Lastly,
Forgiveness? I am not sure if that is directed at me or not, but what do I have to forgive someone here for?
I am not angry at any one person here? I may be totally confused, but not angry..Sometimes I am even shocked at the comments, and maybe disturbed, but not angry.
I have had to forgive many a bad deed done against me and my family in my 38 years. God gives me that ability.

To the Cornwell's :I am praying that your Journey will soon be over and that Brody will be embracing his Mother with all his might. I think of your family and Kristi endless times during my day and night, and I am sending you all my very best in thought and prayer.
Love In Christ
Gemm

Has anyone heard any new info at all? It seems the case has gone stagnant ... after all it's been ongoing for 12 days now ... some new info has to be available by someone.

I would think it would be in Kristi's best interest if law enforcement came forth with any important info they've been keeping close to their vests .... time is of utmost importance in a case like this and 12 days is a long time to be missing after an abduction.

I would just like to say again, my thoughts and prayers go out to Kristi and her family and friends. I pray that she will be found safe soon. Hopefully by the story being aired on Americas most Wanted tonight, some good tips will come in that will help the case.

You know Steve... I honestly don't know what to say.... when I found your site I thought this is great ideas can be thrown around I started reading the thread had a couple of questions that honestly didn't make sense to me after watching all the media coverage of this case I felt someone on here might help me work out, now I just want to go into a dark room, sit in the corner and reflect on my past sins...

Somehow this poor victim got lost in all the bible thumping and anger from her defenders. Thats sad to me some small piece of evidence may be missed just because it offends someone if brought to light.

First I'm sorry for everything the Cornwell family is experiencing.
This abduction is looking more like an opportunity crime. The hardest to solve because it is all so random. This also means that the offender (s) are still out there and women need to be extra careful.
What puzzles me is the talk of two vehicles. Do you mean at least two offenders were following each other, and when one pulled over to grab Kristi the other car just stopped and waited? Could it be possible that one of the cars passed her earlier then contacted a friend who drove back with him to grab her? I'm sure the police are checking the cell towers in the area for that time but I want to make sure they are doing that.
Again Im sorry for all the Cornwell family is going through and I hope you get answers soon.

From the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

http://www.ajc.com/news/atlanta/50000-reward-to-find-blairsville-woman-121662.html

People have earned their freedom to say and speak anything they like GhostHunter. Your rebuttle reminds me of one of John Stossles "Give me a break Moments."
It's apparent that you are prejudice here..I read most all the comments here and I think it is a wonderful thing to see so many people come here and express their love and concern for Christi and be passionate about it. She has not gotten lost in here...She has been lifted up.

I'm still asking this question but so far no answers:

How did anyone know where Kristi was at when she was abducted?

She had GPS on her phone...they got the location from the pings as well as her boyfriends location. At least that is my understanding

Thanks for the reply. Her phone was not found until days later, three miles away. So, it wasn't her phone they based her location information on. Pings from the phone would not have pointed to a specific location along the road where she supposedly was last at.

Her phone records would have shown her location at the time of her call with the boyfriend. You don't need the phone... just the records from the carrier. So the police would have had a general location. Have they given a specific location? If so, I missed that. If they did, they must have found something of hers to make them think that was "the" location.

I agree Oz, however don't you think (assuming the father has inside info from the LE) that if Ms. Cornwell did meet someone on the internet he is following all these blogs tied to her dissapearance to see how close people are to solving his crime, at the very least he may even want to join in the conversation to show these arm chair detectives how smart he is.

Prayer is wonderful I have prayed for this lady and her family since this case began I have also been reading the sites to see if someone is bouncing around between them with the same idea of what happened to her.

I will leave you people to your posts I apoligize if wanting to discuss the facts has ofended anyone.

I believe that there was evidence, a shoe perhaps and other personal belongings of Kristi's, at the location of the abduction (the police haven't released exactly what the items were for whatever reason). It also couldn't have been far down the road from her parents' home where she was living.

Thanks samantha...I did not know that.

to cornwell family i hope they found kristi safe and unharmed dont lose faith keep looking for her my daughter has been missing for five yrs now its not a day that go by that i am not looking for new information you got be at the headquarters everyday if needed to get them to keep the search going as long as possible just pray and keep the faith as far as ppl posting comments that are mean pay no mind to them they are trying to get you heated and they do but just dont feed into the foolish words they make up god bless your family you are in my prayers god bless

Thank you, Tanya. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. I will pray for her.
You know some people can spot evil from a mile away, and others only see what's on the surface. Some people consider
"goodness" as a sign of weakness, others see it as a sign of strength.

my heart and prayers go out to the cornwell family and
pray that whoever took kristi will release her.
i know that area very well.i attend family reunions there and have gone over many of those roads,sometimes by myself.
i have never felt afraid,it is such a beautiful and peaceful place.i would love to live there.i would probably walk down my street as kristi did.(now with gun)
there are so many secluded places where he could keep her
i'm praying that he has a heart and releases her before it's too late.right now it's only kidnapping.if he harms her, the sentence will be far greater when they do find him...and they will.the road she was on, is not one that you would go on, unless you had a reason to be there.
he knows the area.opportunity or premeditated?

I just heard on the news (CH 11) that a tip was recieved to search some road in Cleveland County North Carolina. Has any one heard anything else?

No news yet. I'm sure it won't be long though.

they will search again tommorow,don't find anything today.

I listened to a psychic that doesn't know this area at all. This is what she gave.....she kept hearing the word Gainesville, not a city, more like a road (Gainesville Hwy), she also saw the numbers 129, again (Gainesville Hwy), She felt she was traveling south and she kept seeing the number 180 and heard the word Helen. That would be Hwy. 180, then she saw the number 17....that would be Richard Russell towards HELEN!! No one that i've heard has checked or searched this direction. She feels strongly about this area and also said she had an overwhelming feeling of sadness.

M. Silver - all of the original newscasts and reports have stated how LE located the abduction site; it is believed to be the area in which her personal items were found.

Theresa - Here's the link

http://www.newsday.com/searchers-look-for-missing-ga-woman-in-nc-1.1389894

If some car stopped near me, I'd be screamin and saying lots of things, but not "Don't take me" ???? That just sounds weird to me.

There was a woman above that commented days ago, I believe her name was Victoria Braggs. I was wondering after I read her Psychic Impressions if anyone had checked out the local area of Holly Hill Circle in Blairsville or Sparks Rd. in Morganton? Since she mentioned in her post about a Spark or Holly....
I am not sure if there is another road around here with the word Holly in it, but Holly Hill Rd from what I see on the map has an area of water which she described as well. I am not sure about the Sparks road area, but doesn't that have a wooded area with a small bit of water close to it?
Has anyone searched this area at all?

What is the very latest info that has been released...I have followed this daily but have not seen anything new in days now? I read of the abduction, of finding personal items beside the road and the vague description of the two vehicles and the phone..I know the boyfriend and the exhusbands were not considered persons of interest and were cleared from doubt and I think that is the last I have heard...has there been any news releases that I might have missed? I anguish for her parents and family and I so want this to have a happy ending but as each day goes by with no new leads, it gets a bit darker...I did read here just now that a tip had been phoned in to search a certain area, but negative results...
So if there has been further info would anyone mind posting it ..
TO THE CORNWELL FAMILY AND FRIENDS..I think of Kristi every day and hope with her strength and abilities she has and is capable of that she can sustain herself under dire conditions and return to you safe and sound. Know that many people across the United States pray and anguish for you and for her. Based on what I have read of Kristi I don't think she would be a willing or easy victim and with her past training and knowledge she had of troubled people, she may very well be able to defend herself, if not physically then mentally and verbally. My heart goes out to her and you and lets all hope for the best scenario that could bring her back to you!

Just a thought, with satalite images so advanced now, there must be a way of looking at that area and in that time frame for any car traffic. I live within 30-40 miles of there and I have the IPHONE. I can be sitting in my car at the parent pickup line and see my car in line. The time lapse is a few minutes, but you get the idea. I can be at the ball park and walk to the refreshment stand with my IPHONE on MAPS/GPS and the blue dot moves as I watch and walk. Build a fire and see smoke rising from the chimney...

This maybe is a lead, for some government dept. to look back at their satilite records(hopefully the gov't has even more advancement than Apple}.
Maybe this should be protocall in every Amber Alert, missing persons, hit and run, robbery...gosh I may be on to something. I get the paten.

Seriously, not many cars would have passed in that time frame of her short walk and any cars can be slightly identified and or the direction it drove to.
I wander if Union Co. has any intersections with cameras.
I know I received a nice snapshot of my tag not long ago with every other car around me as I went under a yellow/ red light. They should look into this also.

All of my family here in Blairsville and in Calif are praying for Kristi and her family...No one should judge another EVER... we dont know this family personally but we are praying strongly for kristi's safe return. God Bles you all.

Thank you, Joan! Yes, there were negative leads, but I know she will be found soon.

Thanks, AT! I know everyone is doing everything they can to solve this case.
Karolyn, thank you for all your prayers! God bless you!

THIS IS SO SAD, AND FOR ALL OF YOU THAT JUDGED HER POOR B/F.
MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO ALL OF YOU, AND I PRAY THAT KRISTI IS FOUND SOON.SEEMS LIKE WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE UNDER ATTACK BY PREDITORS THESE DAYS. LOVE AND PEACE, PAM

SHAME ON ALL OF YOU WHOM ACCUSED THE B/F. THIS IS SO SAD FOR HIM AND ALL WHO KNEW AND LOVE KRISTI, I'M SURE.
I LIVE IN TEXAS AND HAVE NOT CONNECTION AT ALL WITH THE FAMILY, BUT I DO WANT TO SAY...MY PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU, I PRAY FOR HER SAFE RETURN. HOPE AND PRAYERS, PAM

My thoughts and prayers go out to Kristi's family, especially her child and to Doug Davis. It's so sad that everytime we watch the news a child or woman is missing. I live in Florida and it seems like there is a story once a week, just here in Florida alone. It's so sad we have to live in a state of fear, always on our guard, wondering WHAT IF..always checking out our surroundings (even when just going to the store) I so hope she is found and she's safe. Kristi and her family are in my thoughts..

Satellite images? I have long been an advocate for greater use of both high altitude and low altitude imagery, but I think you might be mistaken as to its general effectiveness. Even street mounted security cameras rarely solve crimes. They cost a great deal of money to install and maintain, require a great deal of time for monitoring and are virtually useless.

Image analysis in SAR operations shows how little is gained. Recall perhaps the search for the missing pilot in Nevada wherein the wreckage was not located until a hiker found debris and the search finally focused on where the pilot said he would be flying. Images look different at different times of the day and cars are rarely uniquely styled when looked at from the air.

Aviation units are usually plum assignments in major police departments but that is usually for personal and financial reasons. Truly effective aviation units for surveillance are often the low-budget departments that use ultralights or very small helicopters.

More important would be images from surveillance cameras at gas stations and liquor stores. Ever hear of "Dutch Courage"? But these images are often of poor quality and are usually not collected promptly enough by the police anyway.

I was wondering if anyone close to Kristi knew if she displayed any special interest in missing person cases, unsolved crimes, or murder cases. Also if she participated in any forums, blogs, or chats about these. I always worry about doing so and was just wondering if she ever did that anyone knew of. Just wondering if she did and maybe knew too much they found out who she was. I know it sounds crazy and paranoid but still I would like to know because that has always stopped me from partaking in any because you never know who you might be conversing with.

I was so glad to get on here and see im not crazy. Forget about the ridiculous story, what about the bologna that the boyfriend Brian is feeding to th media. I have watched interview after interview of reporters crawling out of their skin as i was mine while Brian delivers a performance worthy of award. Its the most grandios arrogant creepy manipulative crap I have ever heard in my life. My mother was murdered by my stepfather and I know the demeaner all too well. Brian if you wanna fighting chance SHUT UP.Anyone see a little casey anthony there,"I know shes alive and coming home" he says.

Hi I am also following this story with sadness and hope that Kristi is found safe and well. I still feel the boyfriend has a strange way about him..I saw his first interview 'it sounds very fortunate for him that he has such a watertight alibi...he was talking to the victim and knows exactly what happened to her. His comments "I told her only two days before that I would protect her with my life" sounds pretty heavy for someone Kristi has known for only six weeks. Has he taken a lie detector does anyone know.?

Thank you, Concerned. Yes, I beleive she had a Facebook page and she was also on Classmates.com. I agree that people should be very careful when posting their pictures and any personal information about themselves. It doesn't sound crazy and paranoid!

I would like to respond to Ed Scofields post. I do believe what you believe about Psychics or intuitives. I am familiar with the Tara Ginstead case as I have worked with it on a missing persons forum. I would love to compare notes with your wife and see if any of the things she knows about through her dreams compare with what I have gathered on her case. I to have thought maybe there might be a connection with the two women. If there is a way to get in touch with you I would be interested in exchanging information.
My prayers go out to the family and friends of Kristi and hope that there is a resolution to the mystery of where this lovely lady can be found.
Love and Light to all who work diligently to bring Kristi home.

Cornwell hello, I really wish for the best outcome for you and your family. Kristi is a very attractive lady and having seen the road that she walked along alone at night worries me. I would have never walked alone there it is so isolated . I also agree with you when "chatting" to people on the net, one can never be too careful and never, ever give out your personal details no matter how nice the person seems to be.

Hi Libby, I posted you on another site the boyfriends name is Douglas Davis,I have not seen any Brian interview..and yes I agree with you...To be frank he is very much like Gerry Mccann I do not know if you remember the Mccann story a couple of years ago now. Their little girl madeleine, the parents said she was "abducted". Madeleine was never found and very convenient one of the friends saw her being taken by an "abductor". The case was shelved but the police believe she died in the holiday apartment.

Davis says almost the same things as Mccann it is eerie. The police are being very cagey about this case and I wonder if they are holding their cards close to their chest for this very reason. I apologise Cornwell this must be very upsetting for you to see Davis discussed in this way but speaking as an outsider and if I were a family member of Kristis I would speak to the police about my concerns.

Libby, have just watched again Ann Curry,not sure she's convinced either . Have you watched her face 'she looks puzzled. He said about Kristi, she loved life she loved to laugh. He is speaking in the past tense.

This is such a horrible thing to have happened to a woman that is clearly loved by some many people. I've been praying for kristi and her family for her safe return home. I don't know kristi, but this kind of tradegy should never happen, yet it happens more than we know about. kristi, you and your family are in my prayers

This is from the Website of Davis...

Dear Friends,

I am sorry I have not posted Kristi’s dissaperance on our site before now. I have been very busy dealing with finding her. I have put the word out to many of you in person and you have been sending it along to all of your prayer partners so I know we are interceding on behalf of Kristi. She is a very special Lady and we are beliving that she is alive and that we will find her very soon. Please pray for her that Father will continue to protect her and keep her till we can find her. I will be posting more soon. I love you all, Douglas.

I am so sorry to hear of the abduction of Kristi. I did not know Kristi, but my family is from Blairsville. I have always felt safe when I have visited this small beautiful town. The people are wonderful. I will keep Kristi and her family in my prayers. I can not even imagine what they are going through. May God be with them during this trying period.

Some more information on Kristi...

Mr. Davis, thank you for posting. I don't know if you are aware but your daughter is a member of an internet forum called in.session and she and I, and a few others, have been constantly defending you, but there are many that think you were involved in Kristi's disappearance (me and your daughter are however in the minority), which I am totally convinced is not true, but they won't let it go.

They are all but demonizing you but the moderators and/or the owner continue to let the demonizing and accusations continue (with absolutely no motive or any evidence to back up their accusations), which I find reprehensible. It's gone beyond mere speculation and armchair crime sleuthing.

I know you don't have time to read blogs and forums as I realize that you're looking for Kristi, and I don't know if your daughter has told you about all the accusations concerning you on in.session, but if I were you or one of your family members, I would have that thread closed and deleted (after you, or your daughter, download a copy of the slander) and I would find me a good slander attorney.

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/crime/2009/08/25/ng.missing.boyfriend.cnn

D. Davis on Nancy Grace's show ....

I pray that Kristi is found, so much lately on the news has been so horrific, crimes towards beautiful young women, God looks down, he sees and he knows...wherever she is, he sees her too, he will hold her hand, and keep her safe from whatever she is facing, I pray that she will be safely returned to her precious children, and her loving family whom I sure misses her deeply...God be with you all... many prayers are with you, I know how it feels to wonder where someone has gone late at night, its numbing, the streets seem to go on forever, I search for my son so much, God be with you all...x

A tip was called in to Americas most wanted saying they could find her on Kings Mountain. They go search in a place that is over 200 miles away. What about Mary King Mountain! Which is located off 19/129 just a few miles from where she was abducted and in he direction the perp was headed. This mountain has also been referred to as king Mountain. Was that area ever searched? If not it is something they need to look into.

I hear so many things living here in Blairsville i have just had a feeling from the moment that i heard the news that the abduction was staged! my heart goes out to this family! i pray she is still alive... there has to be some pretty strong evidence that it was a kidnapping!

Ironside and Libby, never heard of anyone named Brian concerning this case, however concerning Kristi's boyfriend of only 6-7 weeks, Doug Davis, what would be the motive? They weren't married so no insurance policy .... they hadn't dated long enough for Davis to become enraged over anything, has an airtight alibi, his cellphone records check out and he has been cleared by all LE agencies.

I honestly don't know why so many people are focusing on the boyfriend .... it perplexes me no end.

Gemm in Blairsville said below in quotes and I am in total agreement, D. Davis' character and reputation have been destroyed on many blogs/forums with absolutely zero evidence to back those accusations:

"The points I was trying to make was that I did not see anywhere, at any time, in ALL the the information that I thoroughly read, that pointed to Mr. Davis as a "Very Self-Serving man. That was reaping Benefits because of Kristi's disappearance. I asked where she got her conclusions from?

Also, I do believe that many posts on these types of blogs are so stretched with nonsense that they mindlessly try and destroy another persons Character and that it takes away from the Much needed focus. The Victim! Ideas and thoughts are great...but we also have to realize that all involved in this very sad case, live, breathe hurt and have a life to live daily, without the one they love in it. Let's not forget the fact that these blogs have the ability to influence others opinions as well, without being factual in nature. Many people aren't thorough and don't review everything. People were writing in & attacking this man from the get go when they knew nothing about him. Then after he puts himself out there and speaks openly, they attack him more, even after he has been thoroughly reviewed by the GBI and law enforcement. So where does it end? When another persons life is snatched away by circumstance?"

Thank you for all of your prayers and well wishes! There's still no word yet, but we all have hope!

I have written several posts that have not been posted ?????

Re: Doug Davis website. I think it's very odd that the third person in the band seems to have been replaced in the past week. And the whole website has changed in the past week to reflect the new person. (The prior bandmate's name, photos, bio, and recommendation from her pastor have all been removed.) You'll also note that Doug did some updating the day after the disappearance. Make of it what you will.

Samantha, I don't D, Davis is actually posting here (it was reposted from his site), so he probably won't get your message.

Some posters may be jumping to conclusions over Mr. Davis being suspicious, but it comes from a loooong history of boyfriends and husbands killing their partners and staging a random crime. So, please understand where they're coming from, and that this is a crime blog. Most posters here are incredibly sensitive towards the victim's loved ones. But they're also sensitive to red flags and the circumstances and "Don't take me!" raised one for them.

My sympathies and support go to Kristi's family.

Pete Kotz said:

Sorry, Samantha. We're having a few technical problems with the site that we hope to have ironed out today.

Hi Samantha thank you for your input,I was correcting Libby and asking her who Brian was as I had never heard of him. I know Kristis BF is Douglas Davis...

I do not know how good your reporting is in the States..I have read the Transcript from Nancy Grace where it is reported that Davis called the police and yet somewhere else I have read that Davis phoned Kristis mother told her what happened and she called the police.

Also read that a flip flop was found would Kristi go walking in flip flops, maybe she does.

You cannot blame people for thinking Samantha,although I have to say I would never have walked the road that Kristi did. So isolated and yes anything could have happened.

The police seem to have a witness in mr.Davis who...

Knows it was an abduction

Was the last person to speak to her

Who knows her last words..."Don't take me"...

There is no other witness at the moment to my knowledge...

So we have to believe what he says.

I definitely see your point and I know from reading many true crime books that the boyfriend or the husband is the perp many times, but as I mentioned before in a post, they did not have a history per se', their only history was 6-7 weeks, not enough time for any kind of resentment for D. Davis to build in order to commit such a heinous crime and he has a solid alibi that he was in Atlanta AND his cellphone records prove that fact.

IF they had been in a long term relationship, I would be right in there with others looking at Doug Davis, but the relationship has just been too short (no history).

Are you thinking perhaps a psychic got the two mixed up ???? The perp(s) would have had to pass the road (I believe it's Hedden Rd.) that goes to Mary King Mountain for sure, and if they had gone straight they would have entered the Ranger intersection of 19/129 and 64. If they took a right on 64 that would have taken them into Murphy then to Andrews and then into the Nantahala Gorge and Nantahala National Forest which is very wooded, very mountainous and very rugged terrain.

If they had turned left at the intersection that would have taken them to Ducktown, TN and into the Cherokee National Forest along the Ocoee River, which is also terrain similar to the NNF above.

But, you might be on to something concerning Mary King Mountain instead of King Mountain.

He was in Atlanta and he did try to call 911 but Atlanta's 911 couldn't get through to Union County's 911 (Blairsville), so he called her mother.

Her mother/family didn't actually report her missing until 1 a.m. or so, I believe, in order for the family to completely search the area to see if they could locate Kristi's where abouts and it was black dark so this would have taken a good long while.

Many people have a problem with that, but you have to remember that the Cornwell's lived way out in the country (farther even than the turn-off to 325 where the gun was tossed) and a good many miles west of Blairsville (very rural), which brings me to the position that it was someone she knew because the area IS so rural and it would really be a coincidence if it had been a random abduction.

Hope this clears that up for you.

women are more likely to be victims of men they know than complete strangers.
consider this true story: a woman who has been married and divorced three times, meets a nice looking man at church.
she shares all her history with him not long after they start dating. the first disagreement they have he calls her filthy
names.. throws her past in her face.
she tries to break up with him but he becomes violent.

Kristi was also married/divorced three times. who is to say
this couldn't have happened to her?

This man was a minister and they had known each other only a very short time (6-7 weeks) not long enough to even have a history ... he had also been married previously so throwing up divorce to her wouldn't have made sense since he had been divorced himself.

I think if the above scenario had taken place then Kristi's family would have known about it. Also, how could he (the boyfriend) become violent when he was in Atlanta and she was 2 hours away on a rural road in Union County Ga? You can't be in two places at one time and he had solid alibis and witnesses concerning his whereabouts not to speak of the cellphone records that have been checked out.

Samantha, I hear you on the point that the relationship was only a few weeks old. A good argument in Davis' favor. If he had been controlling or violent, we might be hearing more about it now, like in the case of Drew Peterson.

I don't want to seem disrespectful but how do we know that she was only talking to one person over the internet? it can become very flattering when several people become interested in a lonely woman that has been hurt several times... it would be easy to get tangled up with more then one person and be hard not to keep talking to more people so that if one didn't work out there was a back up so to speak

Notice what kristi's father said in this interview. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=8371075

What if Pastor Davis misunderstood and Krisit yelled "don't taze me"? I have been reading up on tazers and supposedly they can shoot up to 25 feet. There is a new one coming out (don't know if it's available to criminals yet), and it can shoot wireless up to 98 feet! This is very scary and would be easy for a car to pull up and suddenly tazer a victim. Kristi, being trained and all in self defense could have seen it, but not been able to get away.

To clarify... if there was more then one person she was talking to it is somewhat likely he was upset that she stopped communication because she net someone else and that person was not willing to let her go... or could she have been the one not willing to stop communication and decided to make a drastic life change but didn't know how to do it so planned this... i read that she was attending school but had not yet registered for next term yet... i wonder why

Hello, a friend in NC just asked me if I had heard anything about some events in Blairsville last night (Th). I don't have tv, so not aware of things right away. He heard that there were a couple of attempted home invasions and an attempted kidnapping at the new Walmart by a person in a white SUV and that there was an arrest. Can anyone confirm this????

sorry, I meant Wed nite.

I read about one attempted home invasion in/around Blairsville and when the homeowner tried to stall the perps departure after calling 911, the perps did manage to depart and then set the homeowner's car on fire .... don't see a relation to the Cornwell abduction as it seemed to be an everyday attempted robbery case.

Haven't heard about an attempted kidnapping at the new Wal-Mart .... that certainly would be interesting and could definitely tie into the Cornwell case. If the perp(s) did try this, then they are downright stupid.

Just because her phone was on the roadside to take a call and his phone was in atlanta doesnt mean squat. There isnt a source to verify if weather kristy actually was on either phone, id be intersted to know who made the call, and even if the call was made from her phone,that doesnt mean anything. For there to be no roadside evidence from a roadside struggle or tiremarks is next to impossible. Although kristy is beautiful she is not small no one just takes someone her size without a stuggle.Then show me a killer without a gun or fatal weapon. who sees someone show a weapon and says dont take me, maybe don't hurt me,don't shoot me,but don't take me just seems a bit modest for someone confronted by a stranger with a weapon. pretty much a gun is what keeps a victim from running cause they know they hav no chance,thats why abductors use them, if kristi saw a gun, don't take me wouldnt quite be right plea at that point. I dont think the road looks like a crime scene because its not a crime scene, its a diversion from the real one

Cellphone records have been checked out for both Kristi and D. Davis, her boyfriend.

From another post, Kristi supposedly called him while walking and he was in the middle of dinner (with solid witnesses = alibi) and he called her back a little later and then the abduction occurred. He has stated that there was more said by Kristi during the abduction, but he isn't at liberty to talk about that since the investigation is ongoing.

Thank you Samantha for your comment above.
I think to many stick to one person and then
before you know it.."everyone has bought into
their accusations without real facts."
Very sad situation all around here..My heart goes
out to each and every victim in this case..

Susan, I can't find any info regarding these incidents. Can you ask your friend where she heard/read this please?
Can't find anything about a home invasion for last night either.

Mitzi, I don't want to start any rumors. My friend heard it from their spouse that works in Blairsville.

Hi Libby ,you and I seem to be on the same wave length. I also find the book puzzling, if I sent a book to a friend I would write inside the book and not send a note. He talks of the note and has the book with him but not the note' has he shown the note. Is it Kristis hand writing?

I don't understand why everyone is coming to the defense of the boyfriend! It's always the boyfriend/husband! No one has put him on trial in these comments, no one has said he's guilty, no one has strung him up and hung him till he quits swinging!

This site is usually visited by those of us that like to speculate about what could have/should have/would have. This isn't a site for family members to come and make sure people are thinking about them or sending them prayers. Why not put those sentiments somewhere where the family might actually see them? Those of us that are regular readers here like to speculate, formulate, question and re-question. I'm afraid if you all keep coming here looking for solace, you will be sorely disappointed. And there is no reason to chastise those of us that read here regularly.

As for, he's only known her for 7 weeks, that is exactly right. So why all the travelling around to talk shows like he's known her all her life. Why the big production? I understand he likely had feelings for her, but c'mon! A long distance, 7 week relationship is hardly condusive to a complete understanding of someone else. He just happens to be the last person to have talked with her (also another red flag for finding a guilty party!).

I agree Ironside, I thought it strange that he is carrying that book as well. And, like you, when I give a book as a gift, I always write inside at least the date and a small sentiment and signature.

Motive? They had known each other only 6-7 weeks, no history there, no time for resentment or rage to build. Opportunity? He was in Atlanta, she was in Union County, GA (cell phone records prove that) and he had solid alibis, so I ask you how he could abduct Kristi when he was in Atlanta and she was in Union County, GA 2 hours away.

The reason for the many interviews is that he's been ASKED to give by the MEDIA is because he was the last person to have talked to Kristi and he wants to get the word out to as many people as possible.

I don't see anything puzzling about the book and the note attached, whatsoever.

Last but not least, he is not a suspect nor a person of interest .... in other words he has been cleared. The LE understands that he was in Atlanta and she was near Blairsville ..... I don't know why his accusers can't understand that.

I would be looking at people from her past that may have held a grudge against her or was obsessed with her .... and I believe with the route he took (Nottely Dam Rd. where the cellphone was tossed) completely bypasses the town of Blairsville, so the perp definitely knew the area. I don't even know if D. Davis had ever even been to that area before if he was from Atlanta.

Samantha, two things:

1. Just because someone hasn't been named a suspect or person of interest doesn't mean he or she has been cleared. Please provide a link to an authorized (quoted) statement by the LE, GBI, of FBI clearing anyone...and I don't mean a newspaper article where reporter has stated in his/her own words that so-and-so has stated D. Davis not a suspect or has been cleared. I don't think you will find such a link because the only quoted statements are coming from D. Davis who seems to be on the interview circuit to try and clear his name rather than try to help Kristi get found.

2. Just because two people have known each other for a short period of time doesn't mean there would be no motive for killing. Try jealousy on D. Davis's part, or consider that Kristi may have been in the process of breaking up with him or distancing herself from his infatuation with her (as he's alluding to in his interviews). Stalkers have been known to kill people they are obsessed with but never met in person, so why would anyone think there's no possible motive?

I know you will respond by saying it's been proven D. Davis was in Atlanta, that he had witnesses placing him there, that he couldn't possibly have driven to Blairsville in such a short period of time to commit the crime. Going back to statement #1 above, the fact of the matter is that no one in LE has been quoted as saying these statements are true.

I'm not trying to prove he's guilty. He may very well be innocent, but you have been on a rampage on several crime forums expounding your views and trying to bully people into believing you rather than giving everyone the courtesy of showing respect for differing opinions. You are not being open-minded to the fact that the only person who has cleared the boyfriend is D. Davis himself.

Samantha, I have a question. How do you know for certain D. Davis was asked to give the interviews and didn't initiate them? I haven't seen anything indicating this. Not that it's pertinent to this case, but it would be interesting to know if there has been conflicting information provided about this "fact" as well as other information that has been shared publicly.

Jaden, I completely agree. This site and others like it are for discussion, speculation etc. What people don't get about that is beyond me.

Annie, it's become a little puzzling and suspicious to me when someone runs from board to board spouting the same thing over and over as if on a mission. Either they have never been part of that type of message board, or there is a more sinister reason they are acting as a one man PR rep for Mr. Davis. You and I aren't the only ones who have noticed.

And when people on a board can't be swayed, they move to the next and try and discredit the last forum......sort of disturbed if you ask me.....

I am jumping in to toss out another angle. Mr. Davis is an attractive man, a pastor, and I am sure there are other women who found him attractive....maybe it is a jolted woman who had it out for Kristi? Maybe she had her eyes set on him and she needed to get Kristi out of the way. It wouldn't be the first time a woman hired a hit.

Another day and still no news. Not looking good.I hope they find her soon at least the family will be at peace , not knowing is torture.

Samantha Hi, have just taken some time to read the blog in.session, I cannot find anything which I would call slander on there. They are debating and being polite to each other while discusing their points of view.They just find the B/f 's attitude suspicious 'thats all.

I am still wondering if the Holly Hill Cirlce area and the Sparks Road area in Morganton had been combed through, as Vicki Braggs had blurted out above "I see a Sparks or Holly" she said.
I believe both areas have a small body of water and or a canal area of some sort with woods. Also both of these areas could be accessed from 325 where the cell phone was found.

3 divorces by 38. Tells me she is doing a good job in her personal relationship department. She may be attracted to losers.......doesn't sit well when it comes to her current boyfriend. He's a pastor. Another sign.

Why would ANYONE try and abduct someone when they ARE TALKING ON THE CELL PHONE? Why not wait till she's off?

This case stinks....to high heaven. And all these posters who somehow know her are letting it cloud their common sense.

This woman had issues...one way or another this story is far different than it seems right now.

Sigh, one more time, D. Davis couldn't have been in two places at once .... cellphone records and solid alibis prove that he was in Atlanta .... common sense prevails .... that's one of the main reasons I keep saying he couldn't be involved, plus there's no motive.

Also, it would seem some people are making the victim a criminal. No matter her history, she did not deserve to be abducted .... everybody has issues of some sort ... none of us are perfect.

I'd be taking a closer look at the 3 exes, many possibilities for motive there.

SCM, that's an interesting angle. And, the singing partner of the Reverened has left the group? Hmm...

Ironside, I didn't see anything untoward on the in session forum either. Thought I had missed something but I guess not.

Gemm, check out Brian's Dreams for an interesting psychic interpretation of where she may be. It's quite interesting. Gale St. John (I think that's her name) thinks she is north of Helen, she also mentions 19, 180, Gainesville, Owltown, Musty Smell, north of owltown, a cannon or building, dirt road to the side, off 17 close to the forrest. Brian had in his dreams 957 chatahootchie, 17M, Dr, Killer, 130N, Ga.s highest point, Md. All of these glimpses seem to actually exist in the northern Georgia area, but who knows if they are for real or just looked at a google map for the words they've thrown out there. Interesting though!

Samantha, maybe it wasn't him doing the abducting, but someone abetting him. Maybe she was gone before the time of the walk, and someone else had her phone and called him to create an alibi for him. I haven't seen a timeline of her days activities, have you? Some were concerned about her walking at 9 at night, about rain storms that were going on in that area at the time, etc. When you think about it, we really don't know any "facts" other than the few presented by D. Davis.

I'm all for them looking at the three exes, any other contacts on line she has made and anyone from her parole officer past. It's a shame that such a nice woman has so many "possible" folks in her life.

I would also like for them to compare her circumstances to that of Tara Grinstead.

i believe that there were 2 men who took kristi.
she would have been walking on the passenger side of the vehicle.one person would have to put the car in park,walk
around to other side and grab her.what did she have time to say to her bf,that has not been released?
with 2 people,they could have grabbed her from the passenger side, leaving her little time to id the suspects.
how would one person be able to hold her down to keep her from fighting him off and escaping, unless she was tazed,or a gun on her.
i've always heard if anyone pulls a gun or knife,they mean to kill you.the question is, do you want to be found dead
there,by refusing to go, or maybe never found,if they take you to another location.of course, they could kill you and take your body to another locale.
he over powered her, because she had hurt her back a few weeks before,so, she may not have been able to fend off her abductor and use her self defense training.
she has walked that road since she was a child,when it was dirt.if you cannot feel safe in your neighborhood, where else could you walk?
the abductor(s) know that area.the road makes a big loop off of the main hwy.why were they on that road?do they have relatives that live on that road?maybe visiting and saw an
opportunity to do evil?if he were stalking her,some resident would have noticed a strange car driving around.
a stalker would not be so lucky to catch her on his 1st
attempt to follow her?
i do pray that they find kristi alive.

Does any one know what happen to Mrs. Davis, the mother of his children? Is she gone because of divorce or did she die?

The whole thing about the cell phone is if she was on the phone at the time of the attack, she would have dropped it.
Some one had to pick it up. Kristi could not have been the one to throw the phone out on Dean Gap...the attacker/s had to..
If Kristi had access to it, she could have dialed, or marked her phone, they tossed it to distract or get some sick thrill from the attention, what would be the purpose of tossing the phone? Why not let it stay where she was abducted with her other items. I feel there were 2 involved and I feel it was a hit of some sorts....seems too thought out and not just a happen chance rapist out for a victim. I still think the investigators should look at Mr. Davis past girlfriends and the possibility of it being a woman scorned behind this... My prayers for closure for this family.

SMC..you echo a few of my own thoughts...for lack of any further info or leads, I understand Krisit's Ex's were checked out...but what about his? When was his last relationship prior to being involved with Kristi???...was he in a relationship when he met Kristi and dropped the other person for her? Does he have someone in his background that is emotionally involved with him and was displaced by Kristi? Those could be important factors.

I see a lot of mention of the cell phone and why the abductor would willingly grab someone talking on the phone..someone said (scuse me on the terminology here) she had a blue tooth..is that what it is called? Just the earphone thing with almost hidden mouth piece...if that were true then the abductor may NOT have even realized she was on the phone for the phone may have been in a pocket or clipped on her side...and if there was a struggle the ear piece could have easily fallen off unnoticed..they may not have realized she was on the phone at all, but after abducting her, noticed the cell phone and pitched it out the window...I wonder if the that is true, if the police recovered the ear piece??? Could that be one of the things they located at the crime scene? And I notice..without even meaning to..I am using the term "THEY" for without the use of a gun or tazer, and unless they knocked her down with a car, it is hard to think a strong woman like Kristi could be abducted by a single person..the person would have had to have had a weapon..Or a second person with them.
If there is a connection between Kristi and her abductor, eventually it will be discovered..however if it is totally random, a crime of opportunity by the abductor then it will be much more difficult to solve and more difficult to bring Kristi home.

19/129, intersects with Nottely Dam Rd (where the cell phone was tossed) and is where they would have ended up .... 19/129 is the hwy that goes from the Ranger Community outside of Murphy NC to Blairsville GA and it would definitely be north of Helen.

I don't know of an Owltown, but there is a Ducktown TN and a Turtle Town TN that's relatively close ... perhaps he got his animals confused. Georgia's highest point is Brasstown Bald Mountain, a little north of Blairsville GA and close to the park and mountain where Merideth Emerson was abducted.

My belief is that it was someone local or someone who knew the area well, especially the escape route that bypasses Bairsville (Nottely Dam Rd/hwy 325) and someone that knew her family's rural road, and I believe it was someone she knew perhaps from her past.

Perhaps the administrator of in.session deleted all post that outright accused D. Davis of being involved in Kristi's abduction for litigious reasons among other character assassination posts aimed at Mr. Davis (btw, all the accusers couldn't come up with any evidence whatsoever to back their claims) .... they were also very rude to D. Davis' daughter, a poster on that forum.

Yeah, D. Davis hired an abductor who could turn on him in a NY minute or turn state's evidence against him for a shorter sentence in prison .... I don't think Davis is that stupid. The reason she was walking so late is because it had been very hot the first few weeks in August, too hot to walk during the day. I don't remember any rainstorms that night.

Someone said that she had been walking that road since she was a child and that may have well been her downfall, someone who knew her walking schedule and was lying in wait for her to walk.

Owltown is in Union County.

Insession has not pulled any of the posts from that discussion except for the posts by a poster who had to be banned for causing problems among the posters.

How do you know? I have communicated with the administrator and he said I should see how long the ban list is .... so the posts where so many were so rude to D. Davis's daughter are still there ????

If so, I hope she has those and all posts from those members that character assasinated ... was judge, jury and executioner ... had a lynchmob and witch hunt mentality against D. Davis downloaded on her computer for future litigation purposes .... like I said, speculating is one thing, downright accusing someone of a crime (with absolutely no evidence to back up those accusations) is a whole different ballgame (it's called slander) whether it's on an internet forum or not.

Mr. Davis has done absolutely nothing to warrant that kind of character assasination from a bunch of armchair wannabe crime sleuths and I sincerely hope he takes legal action when all is said and done.

kristi did have an earpiece. i'm sure the abductor threw it out,because the police can get dings off of it from cell towers and be traced to an area.i'm surprised that it took a man mowing his lawn to find it

i meant to say cell phone

and an earpiece

My psychic reading - focusing more on her abductor and where she is:

She did NOT know him. He is a white male, over 30, at least 6' tall, sometimes he wears facial hair but sometimes he doesn't. He liked that not only did he create fear in her, but fear and helplessness in the person she was on the phone with. He REALLY liked that the person on the phone hear it happen. It made him feel stronger and more powerful - and very pleased with himself.

He has has a brother and used to wrestle around with his brother when they wre younger. It's made him really comforatble in wrestling with his victims. He finds it entertaining when they struggle and will laugh at them when they try. He knows how to manuver their bodies. He's a very unsuspecting type of person, seems fairly normal, looks fairly normal, blends into society well. Short brownish-dishwater blond hair. Clean cut.

Something in his life feels out of his control.

She is in a wooded area at or near the bottom of a hill. She is NOT near a body of water. Look for a downed tree. She is a little hard to see until you're right next to her.

I find it interesting that several psychics have given totally different readings. If they could see the future they would all be millionaires winning the lottery. I know it is difficult to wait for something, but here in Calif. we just had a case of kidnapping that happened 18 years ago and now the young 31 year old is finally free from her captors.

I have never participated in this type of blog. However, I get very obsessed with missing person cases, not being able to rest until the case is solved or dies away. Jon Bennet Ramsey one of the first for me, but the case w/Susan Smith in Union SC was the first time I thought "that woman drowned those boys"! I knew the minute I saw her on TV, she was worried about her purse, when your children are being kidnapped you just aren't worried about your purse.

I had an incredibly vivid dream that Kristi is somewhere there in the mountains, it's a farm house, maybe now owned by grown children, more than one. There's big equipment there like a front end loader, a grader, etc., a mechanics shop attached to the house, a modified VW Van, orange with homemade drapes. The ground is split wood, like mulch, but more splintery than pine bark. In my dream myself or Kristi is in the kitchen and there is a piece of furniture like an old fashioned pie safe, yet more modern like an armoire that could be used in the bedroom, but "kristi" is frightened of everything and her thoughts are all about getting a message to anyone whoe will listen!

Samantha having now read all of your posts your only contribution is to defend Mr.Davis. I ask ,do you know Mr.Davis. You seem like you do. In some of your posts you are telling bloggers what to think you are now telling Mr.davis what to do against these bloggers. Having seen all interviews of Mr.Davis, he does not seem short for words.How do we even know that it is Mr davis daughter that is posting, because she says so. It could be anyone. I call myself Ironside but I am not the late Raymond Burr.

These forums are to debate and for bloggers to give their opinion in a calm and rational way,you cannot make 'by trying to force your will on every site people who find Mr.Davis suspicious change their mind just because you say so. I am beginning to wonder who you are?

OK' lets assume that this is Davis daughter this is what she said on another blog.

Quote

There is a poster on another site who says she is DD'd daughter. She is saying when DD received the call and realized what was happening, he stayed on the line with her and used another cell phone of the person he was with to call 911...They wouldn't put him through to Union County...after arguing the seriousness of the matter with them and realizing he was getting nowhere, he immediately hung up the phone and called Kristi's mother...telling her to run outside and see if she saw anything as well as told her to call 911. She got in her car and rushed down the road while on the phone with 911...

I imagine all 911 calls are recorded..Has Kristis mum verified this is what happened. I read somewhere that the parents did not call in police until 1am..

Samantha I found this message that you left me on another site.

ironside, the person who you were referring in an earlier post seems to hold some sort of grudge/hatred against D. Davis .... perhaps this person should be checked out by LE

xxxxxxx

This person to whom you refer 'claims to know Mr.Davis, what she has posted shows no hatred or grudge just her personal knowledge.

xxxxx

maybe you can help me here Samantha , I remember when Haleigh Cummins disappeared the call to 911 was broadcast on the news . In your opinion is there a reason why this 911 call, who ever made it has not been aired.

One more question, do the LE know that the alleged daughter is on the boards giving hints to bloggers of her fathers alibi.

Quote from DDs daughter...alleged that is...

She said her dad was with someone when the abduction occured and he borrowed that person's phone to call Kristi's mom. That helps his alibi and gets rid of the "phone being in Atlanta but not the Man" theory.

ironside, for every post that accuses D. Davis of Kristi's abduction, I will rebut it ..... there is not one shred of evidence to back those accusations .... don't you think if he was a suspect that the LE would be surveilling him 24/7/365 .... suspects are told to not leave the area but D. Davis has been all over this country giving interviews, including NYC which is very close to Canada where he could easily flee IF he was involved.

I do not know Mr. Davis, but from all the evidence brought forward in the media, I have come to the conclusion that he is in no way involved and I will keep repeating such. I believe people should shift the focus from Davis and offer other possibilities that could help in apprehending the real abductor. There have to be many people in Kristi's past that should be looked into, especially with her past career.

The character assassination of Mr. Davis is totally reprehensible and disgusting (he is a human being), when no one has brought forth any evidence whatsoever that he was involved in Kristi's abduction.

I would do the same for you, or anyone else, if people were assassinating your character with zero proof.

Credible witnesses/alibis in Atlanta questioned by LE have confirmed that D. Davis WAS in Atlanta ... what more proof do you need?

Samantha, would you please provide a link to the credible witnesses/alibis in Atlanta questioned by LE that confirm that D. Davis was in Atlanta please.
You have posted in multiple places that he had nothing to do with it, and that is probably true. So please provide links to this information.
TIA

In defense of Mr. Davis, I will say this - Due to lack of any new forthcoming information, people will dig into what they do have. If someone can please post links to where he has been cleared or alibis/witnesses etc have been questioned and confirmed, maybe folks will be able to move past that and onto something else that was missed earlier.

A note about psychic readings... I don't know how it works for other. For me, it seems that every once in a while I come across a picture of someone who's missing & my "gut instinct" suddenly tells me someting about what happened to that person. When it happens, I do not read or listen to the tv about the case until I write down as much as I can as I don't want to influence my "reading". After I write everything down, THEN I chack it against what the tv and newspapers are reporting and follow the case.

I don't get that "gut instinct" on every picture or every case. But when I do, I've learned to listen to it. Other psychics are doing the same thing - we all just want to help. Look for common threads and commonalities amongst our readings.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, I have a high percentage of being correct. I've been doing this since I was a child, but hid it after it really freaked my parents out when what I told them turned out to be true.

All of us just want to help the police catch the person who did it and help the family bring their loved one home.

All I know is what has been released in the media by the LE concerning the witnesses/alibis in Atlanta.

Thank you Samantha. I appreciate your post. Now will you please provide a link to any evidence or report where the witnesses have been questioned or confirmed please. It seems in all the boards I read, you are the only person who has mentioned finding this information.
It would be a great help to people to be able to see this.
Thank you

I don't have a link .... I saw it on TV .... Richard Cornwell (Kristi's brother) has also said that D. Davis was not a suspect.

Again, if he was a suspect, LE would not permit him to travel all over this country doing interviews .... suspects are told not to leave the area (in this case Atlanta).

There has been no motive brought forward or opportunity (via D. Davis alibis that he was in Atlanta) ... I'm merely adding up all the facts presented, just like a DA or Public Defender would. You can't go around accusing someone of a crime when no proof, motive or opportunity has been presented.

That's what I thought.....

With all due respect to Richard Cornwell, he may not think Davis is a suspect. Not sure I do either. Whether he is or not, there have been no reports made public that say any witness to Mr. Davis and his whereabouts have been interviewed and confirmed. Not saying it hasn't happened, it just hasn't been released.

As far as traveling, that doesn't mean a thing.

As far as motive - none that anyone has been made aware of.

Ditto what Mitzi just posted.

Does anyone know WHY Mr Davis was in Atlanta on that particular day? Was this his norm to be away on trips? It has probably already been answered but I am curious to see why he was away on that day and who he was with?? was it church related, business or personal? Does anyone know? I apologize if it has already been asked and answered. I don't necessarily think he was involved but it broadens the picture a bit to know as much as you possibly can know about the day she was missing. AND was she missing from her own home or from her mom's. I am not local and have probably missed some publications on these same questions.

D. Davis lives in Atlanta .... Kristi has an apartment in Dalton GA where she attends college and was awaiting the fall semester. She was visiting the home of her parent's in a rural area outside of Blairsvillwe GA, went for a walk and was abducted.

Mitzi said:
"Jaden, I completely agree. This site and others like it are for discussion, speculation etc."

Speculation and outright accusation are two completely different things. Mr. Davis' character has been completely maligned with no proof backing those accusations whatsoever .... he is a human being and one day his accusers may be put in the same position Mr. Davis is in with people going to blogs and blaming YOU for a crime you didn't commit totalling destroying your character.

This may surprise some of you who've read my blogs for a while, but I'm with Samantha here. I totally understand the logic in suspecting Mr. Davis, but I live in the Atlanta metro, where this crime is being covered pretty heavily, and it's fairly clear that he isn't a major suspect, right now. If that changes, I'll report it here. But based on e-mails, some comments and discussions elsewhere, I truly have begun to believe Kristi may have been the victim of the most random sort of crime. I have enough doubt about that to hold off on blogging about it, but I'm leaning that way. I would appreciate it if folks - Samantha included - would not attack one another personally, but I understand where she's coming from.

Steve,

While he probably didn't have anything to do with this, people posting untrue information is wrong. It would be terribly wrong for someone to say he did it and not back it up with info, it is equally wrong to post that he has been cleared and his witnesses have been interviewed and confirmed when there have been no such reports.

Just what information that I've posted is untrue ??? It's not new news that his witnesses have been questioned and proved to be credible alibis and cellphone records have been checked out on both ends ... much of my informataion came from TV news outlets that I have watched (I live in the area) .... sorry I can't bring those interviews to this site, because it's impossible.

Mitzi said:

Evidently you have no idea how the law operates .... when one is a suspect in a crime they are told to not leave the area .... that's fact.

Mitzi said:

"It would be terribly wrong for someone to say he did it and not back it up with info"

Well, that's exactly what his accusers are doing.

So it's okay for people to accuse/character assasinate/malign/crucify D. Davis (a citizen of Georgia) on blogs and forums with absolutely no proof or evidence whatsoever to back those accusations (see your post above), but it's not okay for me to defend him due to the evidence brought forth, so far, via the media and LE.

I am so worried for Kristi, Douglas is a very FAKE, EVIL, man that I know on a personal level..
Praying for your return.

Sounds like you hold a grudge or a vendetta against Mr. Davis ..... just "how" do you know him on a "personal" level?

everyone of us have said or done something, that would make other people say evil and hurtful things about us,whether they know us or not.on judgment day, the devil will be there to remind god of all of those things.i choose to wait until more evidence is presented before accusing the friend.
there are plenty of strangers out there,(as evidenced in the news)that would snatch you in a minute.
i think of kristi and say that could have been me or a family member or a best friend.and people would be saying such hurtful things as some have done here.
i believe it was a stranger(s) that know the area and saw an opportunity.we never really know what's in a persons heart.
i pray for kristi's safe return and that the abductor(s)
are caught and punished

Samantha, I hold no grudge or vendetta against douglas. I will not state how I know him in fear that it may hurt the case. I hope he has nothing to do with this and that this will come to an end sooner than later.

As written by Samantha, "Just what information that I've posted is untrue ??? It's not new news that his witnesses have been questioned and proved to be credible alibis and cellphone records have been checked out on both ends ... much of my informataion came from TV news outlets that I have watched (I live in the area)..."

Samantha, I believe you are overlooking the fact that LE has not had a press conference or issued any press releases to indicate that anything reported in print or in television and radio interviews is either true or false. While they haven't named any suspects, they also haven't cleared anyone.

Worried, without saying how you know him, can you tell more about how he is fake and evil?

Respectfully, I have not moved off the dime that this has the potential for a planned event. Not saying it is impossible, but very, very rare for a stranger abduction, or worse. Ocams Razor says "not random" in my ear.

If you have verifiable information that D. Davis is evil (ie: has done something evil in the past of a criminal nature), then I recommend that you talk to LE asap .... those are very strong words/accusations in your post above. You can go to www.kristicornwell.com for LE contact phone numbers .... they are looking into any information/clues that have/will come forth from the public.

That is SOOOO not true....I've known cases where ppl were POI and never told they could not leave the area...LE has no legal ground to tell DD not to leave the area...Now maybe he had been arrested and bonded out they could tell him he wasn't allowed to travel around...but not as it stands now....Look at Drew Peterson...he has been a POI for how long now??? And he has traveled wherever he wanted...sometimes LE gives someone enough rope to hang themselves...

Thank you justatupelogal. And DP was a perfect example.

He hasn't even been listed as a POI, much less a suspect .... don't know who Drew Peterson is or his traveling habits.

A few interesting articles I've found that don't seem to have been mentioned yet...The first is dated August 15th,

http://www.ajc.com/news/gbi-unsure-if-blairsville-116696.html

What I found most interesting in the article is: Richard Cornwell said he met his sister’s most recent boyfriend Douglas Davis, but he didn’t want to talk about him – including the boyfriend’s claims that the couple was engaged.

So DD is claiming they're engaged but the family won't comment on this? Hmm...

The second is dated August 25th:

http://www.ajc.com/news/faith-helps-family-of-123729.html

From that article: "The GBI has ruled out Davis and Cornwell’s ex-husbands as suspects, said GBI spokesman John Bankhead. Investigators interviewed sex offenders and checked into convicts Cornwell supervised as a probation officer but found no leads, Bankhead said."

True, it's not an official press release, just a comment to a reporter's questions, and the spokesman may be telling half-truths...Maybe DD and the ex's are not suspects in the actual disappearance, but possibly connected to it...or GBI could be saying that in the hopes that someone slips up and they get the break they need to solve the case.

Just throwing ideas around...The claim by DD that he and Kristi were/are engaged and her family's unwillingness to comment on it is more interesting to me.

I also found the Brothers comments about DD very strange...(or maybe should I say lack of comments?)

samantha said:

And how do you know he isn't a POI with LE? They don't tell everything...

I believe justatupelogal was simply explaining that your statement about suspects and POIs not being allowed to leave an area isn't accurate. In know way did he/she indicate that DD is either. Why must you continue to twist everyone's words as a personal attack against him?

From that article: "The GBI has ruled out Davis and Cornwell’s ex-husbands as suspects, said GBI spokesman John Bankhead. Investigators interviewed sex offenders and checked into convicts Cornwell supervised as a probation officer but found no leads, Bankhead said."

The proof is in Lucy's article above that clearly states that the GBI's John Bankhead has ruled out D. Davis ... what more proof do you want/need? I saw John Bankhead's statement on television.

BTW, thanks Lucy for finding that article and to justatupelogal and annie, stop harrassing me ... you're coming very close to personally attacking me. I have as much right to defend D. Davis as you have to accuse him via gossip with no facts whatsoever to back that gossip.

Also, it's a personal attack if one is accused of something due to mere speculation/gossip/inuendo. You have brought forth zero evidence or links that have stated that D. Davis is a suspect or is anyway involved in Kristi's disappearance.

BTW, the in.session blogs concerning Kristi have been removed, thanks to the administrator ... he could clearly see a possible slander lawsuit by D. Davis in the future ... sorry you have no other source for your (and other Davis accusers) continued witchhunt/slander/lynchmob mentality.

Bankhead went on to say in that same article:
"As of Tuesday, GBI spokesman Bankhead said, agents were still doing interviews and continued to believe Cornwell was grabbed by a stranger familiar with the area, if not known to her."

Samantha said in her post dated 08/21/2009 at 03:50:04 PM:

"I never said Mr. Davis was a suspect, but at this point I believe everyone is suspect. I do not believe Mr. Davis was involved ...."

So, you admit to the belief that everybody is a suspect. Why then can't you accept that "everyone" includes D. Davis for no other reason than LE hasn't officially cleared him or anyone else? I continue to be puzzled by your attempts to hijack multiple forums with your personal views and to lash out at people who disagree with you when all everyone is doing is keeping an open mind to the fact that everybody is suspect until a person(s) has been arrested, tried, and convicted.

You admit to believing everyone is suspect, but don't think he's involved. That's fine, and this is your opinion. Others also believe everyone is suspect and that "everyone" includes D. Davis for no other reason than LE has not officially cleared him or anyone else.

I was wondering if investigators have gone back and checked with locals from Blairsville's to find the area known as King's Mountain? I was really disappointed to hear they went to King's Mountain, NC just over the SC/NC line. Why would they not check places close to where Kristi was abducted? I still pray each day that Kristi is found and that her family and friends gain peace.

Samantha -

I thought of you and people asking for a link to where you got your GBI info from, remembered the article (and more importantly where to find it), so thought I'd post it.

My post was dated 8/21/2009 and I DID believe everyone was a suspect at that time, but after GBI's John Bankhead's statement that D. Davis had been ruled out as a suspect on 8/25/2009, I then moved on to other possibilities .... the GBI and LE have far more information than YOU do and it's fact, not gossip and inuendo .... why don't you question them, not me ???

Lucy, found the link to the information you asked for (however I saw it on TV), but you have yet to post any legitimate media links, videos or articles accusing D. Davis, just your fellow blog accusers and witch hunters.

Now get off my back !

And until you CAN provide proof/evidence that D. Davis was involved in Kristi's disappearance then of ALL your past/present/future accusatory posts are null and void of any validity whatsoever.

"The proof is in Lucy's article above that clearly states that the GBI's John Bankhead has ruled out D. Davis ... what more proof do you want/need? I saw John Bankhead's statement on television.

Samantha, will you please provide a link to the TV statement by John Bankhead. I've only seen the newspaper article where the reporter states in his or her own words what Mr. Bankhead said. I'd like to hear what he said.

Now, in response to your accusations, I haven't personally accused D. Davis of anything!!! All I'm trying to explain is that LE has yet to hold a press conference or publish a press release clearing anyone. As a result, everything that's being written is truly speculation or rumor, including what you are stating. It would be wonderful to view Mr. Bankhead's interview and know for certain what information LE has released.

As for the InSession comments, only those related to statements made by a banned poster were deleted. There is still an active thread where every type of possible scenario is being discussed.

OMG Sam slow down...why are YOU attacking everyone...you want to throw blame on everyone else attacking DD and you...I have NEVER attacked You or DD....and don't start throwing around statements such as...lawsuit...please that is so stupid...
If you can't talk about a case with people in an ADULT way maybe you should not be posting...you are the one who goes off the deep end if someone doesn't agree with you.....gezzzzzz

oh so this poster has been banned from insession? I can see why!!!
Also got a question for Samantha....what do you think about the report out now about DD showing up for a fundraiser for Kristi and doing only interviews with the media? Not even staying for the fundraiser itself....reports are he pulled away as soon as the media did..

You're like the skillet calling the kettle black .... you have ridiculed every post that I have ever made defending D. Davis, (hope the administrator of this site takes notice), but you have presented absolutely no evidence that he is involved in any way. You asked for my proof that he was ruled out by the GBI and I presented that proof ..... now where's yours that he's involved? Your and ann's credibilties have sunk to an all time low concerning this case.

in.session has deleted all posts relating to Kristi's abduction .... there's not even a Kristi blog there anymore.

You and annie are what's referred to as TROLLS that troll internet blogs/forums to cause trouble and disharmony .... hope the administrator of this site can see that as he has agreed with me that D. Davis has been ruled out as a suspect, but you won't let it go keeping on, and on and on. Are you calling him a liar?

Move on to harrassing somebody else, trolls.

Reports from your witch hunt accuser buddies and what does that have to do with Kristi's abduction ..... absolutely nothing, zero, nada .... still looking for the invisible boogie man aren't you .... pitiful to say the least ... grasping at straws to say the most.

OMG you are such a LIAR!!! and yes I am calling you a LIAR...insession's blog about Kristi is NOT down...you were blocked from there because of this kind of behavior...
Antoher lie...I have NOT ridiculed every post of yours...
and you didn't answer the question I posed to you about DD's behavior at the fundrasier...But thats ok...You seem to dodge the questions that you can't defend DD on...
And one last thing...I am not a troll...look in the mirror and you will find one

Oh shut the h--l up, TROLL ... you are currently nonexistent to me ... don't know why I gave you the wasted time of day to begin with .... all your ranting, raving, accusations (no evidence presented) hissy fit parties and nonsense dribble is not worth my time .... get a LIFE!

And, YES you are definitely a TROLL .... wish this blog had an ignore feature ..... good riddance and grow up.

This was posted on a site on 13th Aug....says here police identified JOGGER Kristi Cornwell. Now, this is important was Kristi a jogger? or is this just a sloppy report. If she was a jogger she would I imagine be wearing trainers or a sensible shoe for running not a flip flop that is "reported" to have been found. Items of clothing found by police are consistent with a struggle. Do we know the itmes of clothing and is the flip flop a fact?.

Samantha! Put down the pipe sister! That insession thread for Kristi has never been down!! You were banned because you wouldn't let people discuss the possibilities. Every time someone questioned anything about Mr. Davis, you threw out false information, threw around words like slander, future lawsuit, litigation, and wanted to know why the administrator wasn't doing anything about everyone else!! These are Crime Discussion Message Boards. Keyword being Discussion.
You are obviously very new to this, and maybe it just isn't for you. If you have studied crimes in the past, as you claim, you would realize that this is sometimes the way it goes. EVERYBODY is worth a second look when a crime is committed. It's not always fair, but that's just the way it goes. I'm not sure why you have to be told this over and over again.
So stop the lies, and stop trying to convince the world you know what you are talking about. And just because Steve Huff agrees with you, doesn't make it right for you to keep this up. He stated his opinion, but didn't go on and on insisting we were wrong.

And you don't know who Drew Peterson is? Not sure how or why you have "suddenly" ended up on crime message boards discussing only 1 case.......

Sorry Steve, I couldn't stand it anymore.

I couldn't get the video to play, but it's possible Kristi had jogged in the past, but she had sustained an injury to her foot or back about 10 days earlier, so she was walking due to that injury ... I think a 'flipflop' found has been released by the media.

I did a search and found the insession blog WAS still up and yes I was banned due to defending D. Davis from his venomous accusers/attackers there, I did not throw out false information, I told what I had learned from media outlets .... so sue me.

The Kristi abduction happened in my area so it hits close to home .... I don't keep up with ALL crime stories (ie: someone named Drew Peterson, don't care to), but I do keep up with local crimes, I have read hundreds of true crime books and I have been a member of WebSleuths for many years and have posted there many times.

If you continue to attack me, I will put you on 'non-existent' just as I have that tupelo girl and annie.

You and the other witch hunters continue to character assasinate a person you know absolutely NOTHING about only because he was her boyfriend of a few weeks, and until and unless D. Davis is considered a person of interest or a suspect (GBI detective John Bankhead stated plainly that D. Davis has been RULED OUT), then I will continue to defend him as being an innocent person until proven guilty .... that's the way the American Justice System operates .... sorry you can't take it.

Not that I HAVE to explain anything to you, but I recently changed my email address and internet service provider (went to internet satellite from a land based provider) so I had to completely start all over with a new screen name and password since I didn't remember my old WebSleuths screen name and password .... so you are the liar and your detective skills are sorely lacking .... bahhhhbye now.

Missing Woman's Mom Calls for Mercy
Georgia Investigators Say They Have "No Indication" of Where 38-Year-Old Mother Might Be; Her Cell Phone the Only Evidence

Abducted While on Cell Phone

A Ga. woman was abducted while on the phone with her boyfriend, Julie Chen reports. The family of the missing woman is hoping for her safe return.

Kristi Cornwell (CBS)
(CBS) A massive search through the Georgia mountains continues for 38-year-old Kristi Cornwell, who was apparently abducted during a walk down a two-lane road near her family home in the rural town of Blairsville, Ga.

The only evidence found so far in her disappearance is her cell phone, police say, adding Kristi was using her cell phone last Tuesday as she walked down the desolate Jones Creek Road. She was talking to her boyfriend, Douglas Davis, who lives in Atlanta. That's when, police say, Kristi told Davis a car pulled up. Seconds later, police say, Davis heard a struggle on the line, then the line went dead. Davis called Kristi's mother, Jo Ann Cornwell, who then called police.

Kristi's cell phone was found Friday by a private citizen, three-and-a-half miles from where she disappeared.

No further clues have been found in her disappearance, authorities say, and Georgia officials note they haven't focused on one suspect.

On "The Early Show" Monday, Jo Ann called for compassion from her daughter's abductor: "Whoever took her, (I want to) just ask them to please have mercy on her, and know that she has a 15-year-old son who needs his mother. And we need her back."

Jo Ann called her daughter's disappearance "the worst nightmare" of her family's lives, adding she wanted Kristi to know, if she was watching the show, that hundreds of people are looking for her.

Kristi was living with her mother in Georgia while on break from school, and had walked Jones Creek Road often.

Jo Ann told "Early Show" co-anchor Julie Chen she always considered the road and small neighborhood safe.

However, she described the road as "very isolated, (with) no houses nearby."
John Bankhead, spokesman of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, said on "The Early Show" Monday, "We have no indication of where she might be."

As for Davis, Richard Cornwell, Kristi's brother, refused to answer any questions about him on "The Early Show."

Richard said, "He's very critical in this investigation, since he was apparently the last person to talk to her before the abduction. So we're just going to withhold any comments about Mr. Davis right now."

Bankhead didn't indicate whether Davis is considered a suspect in the investigation.

This is the only statement I can find directly from the GBI when asked about specific suspects in the case, the one clearing ex-husbands and Mr. Davis was a quoet from Kristi's brother can you show us a direct reply from LE clearing anyone, not second hand info.
Thank you

Until you are actually arrested and charged with a crime you are simply a normal private citizen with all the rights that any of us have.

(psychic reading notice)
She was wearing flip-flops??? Well, that makes more sense... I've been seeing her bare but dirty feet on the ground with autumn leaves around them on the ground. She's covered with brush. I kept thinking that it wouldn't make any sense - me seeing her without shoes or socks if she was jogging in tennis shoes. I thought I wasn't "reading" right.

Is the fall folaige already happening there? She's either where the fall folaige is already happening, or she will be found over the next few months. The dirt I see on her feet is very very dark - almost black. Is that color of dirt in that area anywhere?

And yes, there is a connection between Kristi and Tara Grinstead. I was able to pick her photo out immediately from several missing Georgia women - without knowing anyting about her until I clicked on her picture. There is a very strong connection I'm feeling to Kristi's case.

I also get a strong sense that the abductor knows the area from his childhood - relatives or family friends who either live in or used to live in the area. I don't feel that he lives in the immediate area though. I agree with the other psychic reading that said he had a stungun and a knife.

Wetraveler, the soil in that area (I sometimes camp in the area) is indeed black in the forest. And, although we have not officially started our fall season, in any of the wooded areas, there are always an abundance of leaves, pine needles and so forth. Hope this helps some.

Oh good..thanks!!! I hope you've already done that..
And Mitzi..about how long she/he has been a member here, she/he has an excuse for everything..

now if we can talk about the case...
Anyone here think that maybe Kristi left on her own? Maybe she planned this? I know that might sound far fetched, but I have seen stranger things..

Please stop fighting in here... and have respect for Kristi's family!!! calling names is silly and childish... dont waste energy on this but rather pray for her safe return. Please No more arguing. We are praying for a good outcome... I pray for that so does my family... thank you.

Two dead women found this morning in Spain, one 'the victims husband and the second 'the victims boyfriend. Both were arrested for murder. Police have to look to those closest to the victim before they can extend the search for someone else. Clear boyfriends and husbands first.It is very hard to prove if they do not have a body.As yet Kristi has not been found. The same goes for Madeleine Mccann portuguese police know what happened but without madeleines body cannot prove anything.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/girl-9-strangled-ndash-mans-body-discovered-nearby-1779632.html

Here is another, no one in the family suspected anything and yet the stepfather killed the stepdaughter. Why? nobody seems to know.

She was wearing flip-flops??? Well, that makes more sense... I've been seeing her bare but dirty feet on the ground with autumn leaves around them on the ground. She's covered with brush. I kept thinking that it wouldn't make any sense - me seeing her without shoes or socks if she was jogging in tennis shoes. I thought I wasn't "reading" right.

Is the fall folaige already happening there? She's either where the fall folaige is already happening, or she will be found over the next few months."

No, the leaves haven't started turning yet here, but there could be leaves from past years still on the ground.

Sorry, inadvertently hit the Enter key. My final comment is to the investigators. You need to turn up the heat!

My thoughts and prayers are with the Cornwell family, Kristi's son, and Kristi's close friends. I pray that you will receive closure soon.

Apparently my original comments did not make it the first time. So I will be brief: Is it possible that someone in Kristi's family, or, and I mean no disrespect, could Kristi have had a drug connection/problem that could have led to retaliation? A woman recently died in an auto accident when she ran headfirst into another vehicle while driving the wrong way on a highway. She died as did three small children. The family was shocked and devastated to learn that the autopsy revealed that the woman had an extremely high blood alcohol concentration and also tested positive for drugs. No one apparently knew she had a problem. Second question: Were any of Kristi's former probationers involved in a violent gang? In a similar vein, does anyone in her family have gang ties, such as the son? We know nothing about him because he is protected by the juvenile justice system. I would recommend that LE talk to the more dysfunctional teenagers in the area. If someone local did this, there is a teen who knows about it and who has talked about it to someone else.
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with the Cornwell family and Kristi's close friends. I pray that you all will have closure soon.

I agree with Dan. Why are the investigator being so tight lipped. Are they waiting for someone to hang them self? As the old saying goes" Give them enough rope and they will hang them self". I do know that there is more information that they aren't saying. WHY?? They say the ground search has been called off. They were relying on tips.
I live a few miles from Blairsville in N.C.. There is a local place that I hike and camp a lot that is very secluded. Days prior to the abduction. They were a lot of activity in this area. This wasn't your local good ole boys hiding back in the woods to drink or party a little. It was different. So different I called the sheriffs office and wildlife service. They all had Georgia tags. One was a white SUV. From where her cell phone was found there is a back road that takes you right to this area with only a couple of minutes on the main roads. I called the GBI. They acted as if I was wasting their time. The only question they ask was if I have been back up to the area since the abduction. I told them no that I feared the area now. I understand they have a lot of tips and are busy. However they need to listen. This was different! I have been hiking and camping there since I was a child. I am now 38. I was there at lease 1 to 2 times a week. I know when something isn't right. It was so bad I even took notice of the license plates and called the law. They were Georgia tags! That is out of the norm for me. I usually stay quiet and let things be. However I truly believe this needs to be checked out. Very concerned in N.C.

That is so sad that they didn't take this as a creditable tip. and this is why ppl don't call and give tips b/c so many times they are just brushed off. So sad...

Teresa,

You said the activity you witnessed was so unusual you called officials. Could you clarify please if you called them at the time you saw the unusual activity or after you heard about Kristi's disappearance?

Thanks.

What exactly did you hear or see in that secluded area? Did you give the license plate numbers to LE? Since you know that area well, I would keep hounding the LE until they investigate ... exactly what did the LE say to you? This sounds like a credible tip to me.

And, please, don't camp or hike in that area by yourself in the future ... I probably wouldn't camp or hike there at all.

Whew. Steve, I understand where Samantha is coming from but name calling is going a bit too far in one's own defense. I do believe she crossed that line rather swiftly.

wettraveler, very interesting that you picked up on the Grinstead deal too. Thanks for sharing, because I got that "spark" the first day I heard of this abduction. Both religious and pretty ladies, both with boyfriends (not being viewed as POIs apparently), both vanishing mysteriously from places they felt comfortable. Lots and lots of coincidences between the two.

It's sad to hear yet another psychic tell that Kristi is no longer here. I've not heard/read any psychic holding out hope on that. It makes it even more important to find the abductor/s.

Teresa, that is very disheartening that the LEOs either ignored or made you feel that your lead would not be followed up by them. Were these Georgia boys making trouble where you saw them? Or did you just get an uneasy feeling about them?

NOTE: I agree, the name-calling should stop. Try and act like adults, y'all.

I found the information below from another blog very interesting ... it seems there WAS more than one perp involved and this makes Teresa's post above that much more credible that something WAS going on in the area she mentions days before Kristi's abduction:

"There is more information that they cannot release to the public. Doug Davis is NOT a suspect. Kristi's phone was on for almost 5 full minutes...she struggled with her abductors (more than 2)and Davis heard a great deal of this struggle. I live 8 miles from Kristi's parents' home and know this area...I travel it daily..

I do believe that she was targeted but it was not by Davis. He has witnessess and he has been fully cooperative. I thank God that Davis was on the phone with Kristi so that we know as much as we know!

Why not pick on her husband of 60 days that she divorced back in March? Why not target the motorcyclists she met on the Dragon's tail a few months earlier...why not target the man that skipped his parole meeting and fled from this area 5 days earlier that I've heard had Kristi as a parole officer? Why not target a local trucking company that has truckers coming in and out of that area all the time? Come on people...you are ranting over things you are clueless about".

In response to why the police are so tight lipped..
I was a civilian employee of a police dept for 25 years, my hubby is a retired police officer, so I do have some knowledge of law enforcement in my background. I know when the police are tight lipped about releasing info, it is often for two or three reasons..the first is the most obvious to me...they do not want in any way to jeopardize their own investigation and release to much info that can actually help a suspect and cause them to put their case in legal jeopardy or at risk. The second reason is that sometimes there is so little info...that there is nothing new to release to the public. The third reason could be (but I don't think this is true in this case...the third reason could be that they are about to make an arrest, or have a person of interest but no evidence to support it. It is not uncommon for police to withhold certain info from the public until a arrest is made and I am seeing more and more often that the information is still not made available to the public until it comes out at trial or thru the inventory of a search warrant. I think the current trend in law enforcement is to say as little as possible, until an arrest is made....and seldom do you see a law enforcement spokesperson "speculate" which is often what the news media want them to do.

There are a large variety of reasons the police won't divuldge much info to the press or public. They have their protocol and will keep many aspects of the case close to their vest. They have genuinely valid reasons for not releasing certain information.

I'm guessing that at this point, they have about two officers investigating hundreds of tips in addition to gathering/analyzing all of the facts, interviews, and paperwork. And most local governments are dealing with budgets cuts as well. It also is probably not the only crime they are investigating either.

If not disclosing all of the information to the public helps them find, arrest and prosecute those responsible - it's worth it.

I wanted to take a moment and address the comments that have been made expressing such disgust with the possibility that the boyfriend or a family member may have been involved in Kristi's disappearance. I have attached a link to the government's Bureau of Crime Statistics web page that addresses trends in violent crime. You will note that a significant number of female victims were victimized by an "intimate" person, a family member, or an acquaintance. Another significant statistic is that 76% of victims are attacked within 5 miles of their home. Most rapes and sexual assaults occur between 6pm and 6am.
This is why so many people think the police should be spending time investigating the boyfriend and other individuals close to Kristi, as well they should.
I would like to add my note of personal disgust for the cowardly SOB(s) who perpetrated this crime. If he/she/or they are reading this, then I hope your days and nights are cursed forever. May you never again find rest from the anxiety I know that you are experiencing and may karma find its way to you sooner rather than later.

Wow! 367 posts? There is just way to much craziness going on with this blog and story to even comment. Never seen this much chaos on a story, bickering, immaturity, if you dont have anything to contribute in a positive way to this story or blog, do us all a favor and just...Go away!

Dan, but in this particular case the boyfriend has been ruled out as a suspect by the GBI ... see url below.

http://www.ajc.com/news/faith-helps-family-of-123729.html

I live in SC and currently we have an unsolved murder in Oconee County and LE is being very tight lipped. I realize there are times when releasing information would jeopardize a case, so I can understand the need for silence. It is nice though when LE can release a statement to the community to help settle the panic due to not knowing what has happened and thinking there is a randon killer on the loose. As I have read above in many instances people know their abductor(s). Read the news... This case may be random but IMO, I don't believe so.

I am very sorry for all the negativity the Cornwell family is experiencing with blogs but as someone stated, this is a forum to offer ideas and possible tips that could lead to Kristi's safe return! IMO, this is not a "defend DD forum"! If he has been cleared, wonderful! That is just one more person to scratch off the list. MOVE ON!

I am concerned too that LE blew off calls from those who live in the surrounding area only to run off to King's Mountain, NC rather than concentrating searches in the Blairsville, GA area.

To Kristi's son, may The Lord be with you during this time. Have faith and remain strong. There are alot of people praying for you and for your Mom. Don't forget that. Prayer has the power to change things and I wish you peace.

Was Kristi walking a dog? Small dog? I think there are three people involoved. 1 man and two women. African American.

Just an FYI - The LE working in Blairsville did NOT go to Kings Mountain, NC. The NC lead was from AMW and the US Marshalls that work with the show searched Kings Mountain along with their local LE.

LE are still investigating all credible tips. They have people answering the phones for them, and passing the info to the agents who will call back if more info is needed. Just because you haven't heard from them, doesn't mean that they didn't search that area. It could be one that was already covered, or they may have searched after the tip.

Since this incident occurred in the mountains, does anyone know of any caves or mines in the area close to Kristi's house? Have they been searched? Also, what about abandoned buildings? Maybe someone could check with the county or state for geological information on caves in the area that may be unknown to LE or the public. Just some thoughts.

I don't know about caves but there are numerous empty buildings in/around and this is an area where many Floridians have summer/vacation homes and many have returned to Florida since school is now in session .... so there are many vacant vacation homes. Also, much of the terrain is very rugged with huge mountains and high banked ravines and hollows, which makes any search that much more complicated.

Another thing that is perplexing to me is that it has become common knowledge that there was more than one perp (abductor) involved, so this had to be a planned crime.

more than 1 abductor? yikes! I hadn't heard that before.
Samantha can you steer me to that article? I've missed some news somewhere. thank you

It is [u]not[/u] common knowlege that there was more than one perp. It is a theory that has been explored and discussed but to date it is NOT a confirmed fact.

There were two strange cars seen in that area at the same time, so why would anyone not believe there was more than one perp ?????

That information was posted on another blog by a neighbor of the Cornwell's as was the 5 minutes the cellphone was turned on before it was tossed ... there was more said in that 5 minutes that hasn't been released, why I can't fathom. It's 3 weeks today that Kristi has been missing and the case already seems cold. I believe there are many people in Blairsville that know more than is being released to the public by the LE, but they are afraid they might jeopardize the case if they talk ..... people talk in small communities.

Blairsville attracts tourists doesn't it? Unfamiliar cars probably are in the area on a daily basis. The fact that two were mentioned having been seen the day of Kristi's abduction in no way mean they were involved.

I too would like to see the article indicating there was more than one person involved.

Hi Brenda , davis said in one of his interviews maybe with Ann Curry not sure now "there was a lot going on with people in the car" something like that. Now how did Davis know there was more than one person, did he slip up and say something he was not told to, did Kristi say there are people in the car. Only Davis knows...

Blairsville is somewhat of a mountain tourist vacation area, but the the road where Kristi's parent's live is a rural road a good many miles west of the actual town of Blairsville.

Her cellphone was on for 5 minutes during her abduction before it was tossed, so that's where he got that there was more than 1 person involved.

multiple people and 5 minutes that the boyfriend was on the phone!! That is huge information! That must have been announced today, because i would have caught that before. Do you think this will be on CNN this evening? Going to look for articles now. If anyone has the link, please post. Maybe this will be the break we've been hoping for.
thanks Samantha!

No one has said those two cars were both used in this crime. We have only been told that those two cars were "seen" in and around the area. You want to jump on anyone that querries about Davis, but then give yourself free rein to run rumor mills on every blog sight dealing with Kristi Cornwell? It's fine if you would like to speculate, but to throw gossip around and call it "common knowledge" is a bit over the edge.

Also, the blog entry you copied from (ah-hem) topix, that person said "why aren't they checking the bikers she met up at the Dragon's tail?" Where did this information come from? Every article about her abduction initially said that she whizzed down the Dragon's Tail; that's where I suspect they concocted that tid-bit of news. I find that person's take on the situation to be very suspect, and it should be taken with a bucket of salt. I note that another board where you posted the same thing has had it removed. That should give you a great big clue as to why it was removed.

Samantha, I think it would make your opinions ring truer if you'd provide credible links to what you are either quoting or paraphrasing instead of throwing around information you read on this and other forums and trying to present it as fact. And, by the way, linking to yourself under a different name on another message board or to posters who claim to have the inside scoop don't count in my book.

Actually, this info came from a poster on another blog that lives down the road from the Cornwell's ... it hasn't been made public in the media ... why, I don't know since I see nothing in either statement that would interfere in the investigation and would probably help if it was to be made public. The LE has also stated publicly that there were two strange vehicles in the area at the same time Kristi was abducted and those vehicles are being sought ... giving a hint that there was more than one person involved from the beginning.

Look, I'm just trying to get as much information out to the people (you) as I can and if it comes from other blogs, so be it. If you don't care to read my posts, then skip them ... it's a free country.

The information about the Tail of the Dragon biker Kristi met (and should be looked into) was from the same poster that gave out the other info concerning more than one perp being involved and the 5 minutes the cellphone was left on during Kristi's abduction .... she seems to know the Cornwell's personally, lives down the road from them and I believe her ... if you don't, that's your prerogative.

You're right, it's a free country. You're right, you can believe what you want. I will form my own opinions about what I read and hear; you can choose to believe total strangers if you'd like. Just please don't provide information without including a link or telling us where you read or heard it.

So, I would assume you believe the accusers(total strangers ????) against D. Davis? My main problem is they present accusations without a shred of proof or evidence .... show me the evidence and maybe you'll convert me, until then I will continue to defend a man who has been ruled out as a suspect by LE. I don't feel the need to show links for everything I post (the accusers certainly don't ... not one link has been posted by them) ... again, just don't read anything I post .... it's very easy to skip over any poster you don't care to read.

You accusers are always telling me to show links/verification where I get my information, but I haven't seen the first credible link posted by D. Davis' accusers where D. Davis was in any way involved in Kristi's abduction or is even a suspect (ruled out) .... show me the links.

After having a "buzz" about Tara Grinstead when I heard of Kristi, I thought I would see what was out there for missing women in Georgia. From the GBI website I found these cases of missing women, 30s-40s years, dark hair.

First is Unsolved Murder, so they have a body:
Christine Allen
Missing 4/12/2002
Found in
Reynolds Nature Preserve, Morrow, Clayton County, GA
48 y.o., brown hair

The rest are still missing:
Jincy Nella Barrow aka Jincy Grizzard
Missing 1/10/07
Would be 36 now
Brown Hair and Eyes 5'8"
Ludowici Police

Theresa Parker
Missing from her home 3/21/07
41 y.o.
Car was in her driveway (like Tara)
Brown hair, 5'7"

Debora Gail DeLoach Moody
Ludowici, Long Couty, GA
Last seen 12/4/07
44 y.o.
5'6" Brown hair and eyes

Interesting... may be something more than meets the eyes.

I don't know if DD is guilty or innocent and am choosing not to side with anyone at this point in time.

You may be surprised to know I agree completely with your concern about people making accusations based on little to no proof, but you know what? It happens. You can't stop it. That's what people do on these boards...everyone, including you.

We speculate over the information that has been made public, discuss rumors, and think up all kinds of possible scenarios no matter how crazy they may be. There are times when we may or may not connect all the dots before voicing our opinions, and it's probably a good thing most of us aren't in law enforcement because we'd be following the wrong leads most of the time (LOL)!

You have your views, I have mine. That's what makes life interesting, and I'm happy to have a calm exchange of dialogue but don't appreciate being preached to. It gets under my skin.

oh my goodness. Samantha, I thought you had real information. thought we had some new hope here. My great grand daughter has come runnin over here to watch the programs this evening. We really got our hopes up. Young lady, please don't post things that aren't real if you don't has a good source. I was so hopeful.

I went back out to GSI missing persons website to see if I could pick up on any of the women that jadensmokes talked about. I got nothing on those women. I can't force it or the level of accuracy drops. It either comes to me or it doesn't.

However, I did get something on Justin Glen Gaines. He was jumped by a gang. The gang was initiating a new member. The gang was made up of three possibly four African American men. They robbed him and beat him - eventually beting him to death - which was the plan. Justin's body was disposed of in or near water. I don't know that area or the state of GA well. I see your basic alley - nothing special or unique about it... telephone wires...telephone poles...concrete... a few weeds/grass growing in the concrete cracks... older area...and there's something about the color green, but I don't know WHAT is green or what it's referring to... One of the guys didn't want to put Justin's body in his car because he has a "nice" pimped out car. One f the other guys was driving his brother's car and it was an older more beat up car - the car was gray, not silver, a dull gray... like a buick or olsmobile. Are there gangs in the Gainesville State College (Oconee Campus) area? Is there a big body of water within 10 to 20 miles of there?

I'm too tired to read any more tonight.

Webtraveler, I grew up in Gainesville and graduated from Gainesville College. And yes, there is a large body of water, Lake Lanier, within the area, less than 10 miles. And Gainesville has become infested with increasingly large numbers of gang members. See recent article from the Gainesville Times.

http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/news/archive/22636/

Wow, I really must say, you all are really going a stretch. From a person that lives only 3 miles from where Kristi was abducted, you do a good job of scaring the crap out of a person. Where she was taken/left from is approx 10 miles from "downtown" Blairsville. The area is surrounded by so many gigantic mountains, I don't know how a person would decide how or where to begin to search. As for strange cars in the area, doubtful tourists would be in this area. Also, lots of water..... Notley Lake is in the center of Blairsville and winds all around. Also, easy to hit 325 from Jones Creek Rd, but easy to double back and NOT go to NC. I am 60yo and was raped in another state 3 years ago, and this has me terrified. There is still a big police presence in this area.

Something smells fishy...the police said there was sign of a struggle....don't you people think if someone struggles to prevent from being kidnapped they would use both hands and at that point would drop their cell phone at the area where the struggle took place....not 3 miles away??? Open your eyes people something just doesn't jive here. Also don't take me? Please that would be the least thing I would say. Hello!!!

I would like to address the "two suspicious vehicles" information being proffered. Does anyone remember the Sniper Shootings a few years back? Everyone was looking for the mysterious "White van/Delivery truck". When the case was resolved, it was discovered that the sniper suspects were driving around in a big blue car. So, while there may be some usefulness in the vehicle information given, the reverse may also be true. The two vehicles observed may have absolutely nothing to do with this case whatsoever. Just thought I would mention this because the info could be a red herring.

Was there a sign hung up saying "Wannabe psychics - if you have vague, conflicting, unprovable tips, please post them here"?

I know the family is desperate for information, but I really hope common sense kicks in and they don't waste time with useless "feelings" or "visions" these people have. "Is there a body of water within 10-20 miles?" I'm going out on a limb and say yes. In fact, there's lots of water everywhere. Lakes, ponds, puddles. 70% of Earth, actually.

Remember what PT Barnum said - there's a sucker born every minute...

bbmcrae - bite me. Just because you don't believe in it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Some people don't believe in God or religion while others are 100% certain God exists. Are you going to start questioning people's faith now too?

I'm a college educated person with a decent paying respectable professional career, not some dial-a-psychic trying to make a buck. I don't claim to understand how I know the things I know or see the things I see. It's something I've always been able to do. For about 40 years, I've had a high level of accuracy and a high percentage rate of being correct. Can I explain it? Nope.

I'm in the midwest and there isn't a body of water every 10 to 20 miles from just any given point. I'm not familiar with GA, the terrain, or the areas in question. I don't have the time to research all of this stuff, so I ask those who are in the area if what I'm seeing matches the area in question. I'm trying to help. What exactly are you doing?

Pyschics can be helpful in some cases. When Kristi is found, I'm hoping Steve will be able to provide us with a summary of any valuable facts that they provided at this website.

Here is a link for Samantha about Drew Peterson, mentioned earlier in the comments section. I pray that Stacy Peterson will one day be found.

Part of Davis interview..here it says they only met three weeks ago and he is only just met with her parents...So, did he spend the weekend before at the family home? Did he walk that walk with her Saturday night?

Cala agree something sounds very odd...

Webtraveler, I wasn't trying to get hostile with you. And because I doubt psychic ability to solve crimes (and please cite a case where a psychic has closed a case) doesn't mean I would turn around and insult anyone's religious beliefs. Please don't fly off the handle and make that assumption. Besides, psychic powers (and I actually don't discount they might exist - I just see nothing remotely helpful here) are supposed to be a real physical ability, yes? As opposed to pure faith?

There have been multiple, rambling, vague posts here with "information" that I bet you will do nothing to solve this case. Once it is solved, several people (I'm not talking about you) will jump in and claim it was just as they predicted.

If I'm wrong, I'll be happy to admit it. Feel free to cool down a bit.

Well, show me any credible links/sources to all sites that prove that D. Davis was in anyway involved in Kristi's abduction ... I'll be waiting patiently ... talk about posting posts that are not real/proof/solid evidence.

I believed the neighbor's information and I wanted to pass it along. And it makes sense that it was more than one perp involved since there were two strange cars seen in the area at that time .... the fact that the cellphone was left on for 5 minutes isn't really new info (except the exact minutes) sense D. Davis has already stated that there was more that he heard during the struggle/abduction, but he couldn't release that info due to the ongoing investigation.

I know you all are trying to help but I know Kristi,I know the road, I live a mile away. You are all so far off base you should not even comment. bouncing ideas around is fine. but get online and do some research first...look at a map. there are many many bodies of water between here and lake lanier. I could not even count them all. drive up here...you will see, this place is huge. like looking for a needle in a haystack. Jones creek road is nowhere near blairsville. In the same county..yes, but not "IN" blairsville. Probably 10 miles out in the country from the tiny town. I think the locals have more information and a better idea of places to look and they are looking there. Including myself but I think you are all way off. I do beleive that the family feels Kristi will come home....they obviously know more than we do. So let's try to get on track here and stop throwing out bogus info that could delay an investigation into the more important and credible tips.

I think I may know where you are talking about. Give ne a better idea...abreviations of road name or something and I will confirm it. My Dad and I will ride over there and look around. Thanks,

Samantha, what is your deal? Brenda believed what you posted and thought there might be a break in the case based on what you presented as being credible information that was being released to the public. She didn't realize you were posting hearsay and rumors from other forums because you failed, once again, to let everyone know where you were getting the information.

Instead, once again you turned someone's innocent remarks into a conspiracy proving DD is involved. Brenda never said anything about DD. Do you even read other people's posts? Why do you think if you keep harping on the same thing that everyone will agree with you. If anything, you are making people think you have ulterior motives. Is that what you really want to do?

Does anyone know if Davis' wife is deceased or is he separated or divorced. If she is still alive, it could be possible that she, or someone else that Davis was dating prior to Kristi, wanted to eliminate the competition. Yet another avenue for exploration. Let's take a moment and reflect on what typically motivates abduction and murder. Money/debts owed but not repaid, drug habits, relationship problems, strong sexual urges/compulsions (the offender or the victim), anger over feeling wronged in some way by the victim, protecting self or others from physical,emotional, or financial harm, envy, greed (think about the insurance policy taken out on the victim), senseless violence. If Kristi was abducted or murdered, you can start the process of elimination by whittling away possible motives for the crime. There is also the possibility, and I hate to bring it up for fear of appearing insensitive (but I am not) that a victim could commit suicide and stage it to look like a murder. Why might someone do this? To ensure that their beneficiary recieves their insurance policy payout. I hope that those of you not familiar with thinking in this manner can now appreciate the difficult job facing those investigating this case. No stone can be left unturned.

Dan said, "I would like to address the "two suspicious vehicles" information being proffered. Does anyone remember the Sniper Shootings a few years back? Everyone was looking for the mysterious "White van/Delivery truck". When the case was resolved, it was discovered that the sniper suspects were driving around in a big blue car. So, while there may be some usefulness in the vehicle information given, the reverse may also be true. The two vehicles observed may have absolutely nothing to do with this case whatsoever. Just thought I would mention this because the info could be a red herring."

ITA that the two vehicles may have nothing to do with Kristi's abduction. I live in the DC area and was here when this terrifying crime spree occurred. Everyone was so focused on the white van/delivery truck theory that the snipers stayed under the radar. In fact, they were interviewed by police but not suspected because they were in a blue car.

I really don't know what to make of this case. There are so many holes, inconsistent information being released in newspaper articles and shared in interviews, rumors flying around messages boards that may or may not prove to be true, and so little said by LE.

I continue to pray for Kristi, her family, and her friends.

Let me ask you this, is it not hearsay, gossip, rumor and inuendo by those that are ouright accusing D. Davis of being involved in this crime to the point of adnauseum .... but that seems to be perfectly fine with you and his accusers .... destroying a man's repuation and character with zero facts or evidence to back those claims ..... that is MY deal.

And your statement doesn't make sense, "Instead, once again you turned someone's innocent remarks into a conspiracy proving DD is involved".

Where did you get that? I have repeatedly defended D. Davis since the GBI ruled him out as a suspect .... evidently you haven't read any of my previous posts .... I don't believe he was in anyway involved .... do you even read other people's posts.

The DC area and this area are totally different. The road that the Cornwell's live on is a rural road with little traffic but neighbors, so any strange vehicles would be noticed.

Good points about the motives for committing a crime. Hopefully Kristi's family and LE have enough information to go on in comparing what is known about her current life and past with the reasons this abduction may have occurred.

Samantha said (snipped for content), "And your statement doesn't make sense, "Instead, once again you turned someone's innocent remarks into a conspiracy proving DD is involved"."

Please reread Brenda's post:

Brenda said:
"oh my goodness. Samantha, I thought you had real information. thought we had some new hope here. My great grand daughter has come runnin over here to watch the programs this evening. We really got our hopes up. Young lady, please don't post things that aren't real if you don't has a good source. I was so hopeful".

Now read your response:

Samantha replied, "Well, show me any credible links/sources to all sites that prove that D. Davis was in anyway involved in Kristi's abduction ... I'll be waiting patiently ... talk about posting posts that are not real/proof/solid evidence."

Where did Brenda mention DD? What statement did she make that needs real proof or solid evidence? All Brenda was doing was asking you not to post information without citing the source.

My comment, "once again you turned someone's innocent remarks into a conspiracy proving DD is involved," was made because you gave Brenda a tongue lashing for something she never wrote. She wasn't conspiring against anyone, much less DD, so I don't see your point in accusing her of such.

Good God Samantha! No one at this site has even mentioned DD in a negative way for 4 days and over a hundred posts (besides your defense of him)! Enough already, it's like enduring a broken record.

I believe you owe Brenda an apology. Please go back and re-read her posts. She read two of your posts and was excited to think there was a break in the case. She asked you several times if you could point her to the "stories" as she had not been on or seen the news in a few days. All you did was spout how no one had links to anything showing DD was guilty of anything. Slow down, please. Read and respond. Leave the defenses elsewhere, they've grown tiresome at best.

WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET ACROSS IS THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE CRITICIZING ME FOR POSTING WHAT THE NEIGHBOR SAID AS NOT BEING CREDIBLE INFO ARE THE SAME ONES THAT KEEP ACCUSING D. DAVIS WITH NO CREDIBLE EVIDENCE TO BACK THEIR ACCUSATIONS. THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET ACROSS, THE CREDIBILITY ISSUE.

I don't know who did this. I'm too old to try and solve crimes. I had just been prayin' for this young lady to come home. We talk about her everyday in the community room, and I tell everyone the latest news because I am the only old woman here that uses her computer all the time.

The only reason I said don't post things that aren't real is, it sounded like new and good news, and I thought maybe you saw this on the news program. I watch CNN every evening myself, and hope for good news one day.

No need to be so snippy, Samantha. It was just a request.

I don't owe anyone an apology .... if Brenda had carefully read my post where I plainly stated that it was a neighbor who gave that information on another blog then there would no issue here.

BELOW IS THE EXACT POST THAT I MADE:

I found the information below from another blog very interesting ... it seems there WAS more than one perp involved and this makes Teresa's post above that much more credible that something WAS going on in the area she mentions days before Kristi's abduction:

"There is more information that they cannot release to the public. Doug Davis is NOT a suspect. Kristi's phone was on for almost 5 full minutes...she struggled with her abductors (more than 2)and Davis heard a great deal of this struggle. I live 8 miles from Kristi's parents' home and know this area...I travel it daily..

I do believe that she was targeted but it was not by Davis. He has witnessess and he has been fully cooperative. I thank God that Davis was on the phone with Kristi so that we know as much as we know!

Why not pick on her husband of 60 days that she divorced back in March? Why not target the motorcyclists she met on the Dragon's tail a few months earlier...why not target the man that skipped his parole meeting and fled from this area 5 days earlier that I've heard had Kristi as a parole officer? Why not target a local trucking company that has truckers coming in and out of that area all the time? Come on people...you are ranting over things you are clueless about".

I have newfound information concerning Kristi, but I'll be damned if I'm going to post it here as it would be deemed not credible, and to those of you who think D. Davis is involved in Kristi's abduction, then you'd better post a link/source to back up those accusations.

hmmmm I guess that is a plea for ppl to beg you to post it...plezzzzz...your info is just some more gossip I am sure..

Samantha did say it was from a blog, and I don't know why I was thinking that was sort of a news post site. I know better than that. How silly of me. And I read the news and share it will folks and send them links in my email all the time. Guess it was a senior moment. Terribly sorry everyone.

Never have I said anything about this Mr. Davis.

Now let's all carry on and think positive that this young lady comes home soon.

It is Fires Creek. A bear sanctuary in clay county. I am also trying to gets some friends up to go search. I will not go up in there alone anymore. However I know the place well and would know where to search. The white SUV was not starting any trouble. It was just acting very suspicious. On several occasions. The red truck that was there at the same times as the SUV. They were trying to start trouble. It was a red faded truck. One man was on the back making all sorts of rude gestures. I called the law then. Assuming trouble was about to happen. Anyway after the abduction of Kristi Cherokee county scout reported this. The same truck trying to pick up another woman. I was shocked. I called the law again. Same truck, same men. They were in there early to late thirties. Here's the link http://www.cherokeescout.com/articles/2009/08/21/news/doc4a8b08c3c365f829821584.txt. I pray for her safe return.

Yeah, I read about that in the Cherokee Scout ... it turned out to a Cherokee Scout sports writer's wife that was jogging in Murphy and it was a faded red truck involved. It would seem that there are several goings on around here that warrant suspicion and they all might just be tied together.

Were the people in the white SUV and the faded red truck together? When you say, "they were trying to start trouble", were they trying to start trouble between themselves, or were they harrassing you or other people? How was the white SUV causing suspicion?

I would call LE and insist that they check that site out .... that could very well be where they are holding Kristi. I wouldn't go if I were you as I would assume those people are very dangerous and armed. Didn't you say it was an abandoned boy scout camp? This sounds like the most credible info I've heard, especially since that incident in Murphy with the faded red truck involved.

this may be gossip, and I've never posted before, but I just heard on my way home from work that they have taken DD in for questioning. Anyone else hear this?

Galooker do you live near DD? Where did you hear it from?
I've not heard anything along those lines

I do not know if they were together. They were up there several weekends and week days. Some times at the same time. The red truck was starting trouble with other people. Including my mother. Trying to get people to stop, running several people out of the road, rude gestures etc...This was the Thursday before they tried to pick the lady up in Murphy. Their are always some boys from NC and GA in there hiding to party or drink a little. This was different. As far as the area. I never said it was a abandoned boy scout camp. It is a bear refuge with a old horse camp.

It would be nice to see something other than arguing in here.. and i see Kristi's family arent coming in writing anymore and im sorry these people may be upsetting you all... We here are still praying for Dear Kristi and praying for all of her family. God Bless these folks and bring their dear Kristi home!

She was wearing flip-flops??? Well, that makes more sense... I've been seeing her bare but dirty feet on the ground with autumn leaves around them on the ground. She's covered with brush. I kept thinking that it wouldn't make any sense - me seeing her without shoes or socks if she was jogging in tennis shoes. I thought I wasn't "reading" right.

Is the fall folaige already happening there? She's either where the fall folaige is already happening, or she will be found over the next few months. The dirt I see on her feet is very very dark - almost black. Is that color of dirt in that area anywhere?

And yes, there is a connection between Kristi and Tara Grinstead. I was able to pick her photo out immediately from several missing Georgia women - without knowing anyting about her until I clicked on her picture. There is a very strong connection I'm feeling to Kristi's case.

I also get a strong sense that the abductor knows the area from his childhood - relatives or family friends who either live in or used to live in the area. I don't feel that he lives in the immediate area though. I agree with the other psychic reading that said he had a stungun and a knife.

Posted 08/30/2009 at 08:20:24 PM

Didn't I read in one of the interviews the BF was born and raised in Blue Ridge, next door to where Kristi was born?

Just an observation Samantha not blaming the BF I don't believe in psychics.

Sex Offender Creates Poster For Missing Woman
Posted: 6:31 pm EDT September 2, 2009
Updated: 8:55 pm EDT September 2, 2009

CLEVELAND, Ga. -- A poster, offering a $100,000 reward in the case of a missing Blairsville woman, was not authorized by Kristi Cornwell’s family, her brother said.

In fact, family members said while researching the name and phone number listed on the flier, they discovered it belonged to registered sex offender Gib Williams of Towns County.

"Of course we were in shock and I grabbed the poster and ran out and called 911 when we realized it was a sex offender that had produced those posters," said Richard Cornwell.

The poster was discovered in the days following Kristi Cornwell’s disappearance, said Richard Cornwell.

"It really is unbelievable that there are people in the world that will try to gain financially from this disgusting crime," said Richard Cornwell.

Investigators believe that Kristi Cornwell was abducted while she was walking along Jones Creek Road in Blairsville more than three weeks ago.

"We're continuing to be hopeful that she's out there alive somewhere," said Richard Cornwell.

Kristi Cornwell’s family believes that Williams was trying to profit off the case, but the GBI said it couldn’t charge him because Williams didn’t take any money.

The GBI said it sent an agent undercover pretending to make a donation. But instead of taking the bait, Williams said he'd need to call the family.

"In the past it has been an issue of people interjecting themselves into an investigation to stay close to it and know as much as the authorities know about it," said Mike Ayers with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Channel 2 Action News reporter Jodie Fleischer tried to find Williams for an explanation, but no one answered at his home in Hiawassee.

GBI agents have worked more than 1,000 leads, and say they're no closer to finding Kristi.

"We looked at him hard, and there's nothing there," said Ayers.

I have read through this entire thread and watched it degenerate into a lot of argument thanks to Samantha's crusade defending Mr. Davis and misrepresenting the truth on both sides of her argument. I would like to suggest that rather than verbally tangle with a poster that is unwilling to be reasonable, after many explantions and requests, she be ignored. It will save wear and tear on everyone reading the thread.

read the article in the scout that Teresa N.C. mentioned. I doubt it would be connected to this situation with Kristi but well worth looking into. I am sure my Dad knows Fires Creek and we will check it out when we can. May be one of those out in the woods meth operations but it may be something important. You never know. Thanks for the info.

Have not heard any news about DD having been taken in for questioning. That would not surprise me. DD is the one and only witness as what is to have allegedly happened to Kristsi.She is his alibi, he is her witness to an abduction....

Decrease Increase Agents in Kristi Cornwell case interview N.C. jogger
She avoided attempted kidnapping two weeks earlierBy Christian Boone

GBI agents are investigating the attempted kidnapping of a jogger one town over from where Kristi Cornwell was abducted.

Blairsville case puts highlight on other missing persons
GBI looking for leads

“There aren’t any real similarities, but there is proximity,” said GBI spokesman John Bankhead.

The attempted kidnapping occurred at 9:30 p.m. -- right about when Cornwell, 38, was grabbed while walking along Jones Creek Road, not far from her home. She was chatting on her cellphone with her boyfriend at the time of her disappearance, authorities say.

The GBI identified a large-size white SUV, and a tan or gold subcompact car, as vehicles possibly driven by Cornwell’s abductor. In the Murphy case, witnesses say the man was driving a red Ford Ranger.

“We’re following up on it, but right now there is no connection,” Bankhead said.

Cornwell’s case remains a mystery, despite national media coverage and a $50,000 reward.

And I will continue to do so ... he has been ruled out by the GBI as a suspect. It's the accusers of him (with no facts or evidence to back those accusations) that are the ones being unreasonable since they refuse to believe that he has been ruled out ... feel free to skip over my posts if my defending D. Davis (so far, an innocent man by the GBI) upsets you so much.

I am convinced that Kristi has victimized in retaliation for something someone close to her has done. That person needs to come clean.

Thank you Ironside for posting this. It has took a load off my mind. I am just so glad that they are at least looking in to it. Even if they have no connection. It's worth looking into. I have a renewed confidence in the GBI and LE regarding this search. I just hope they search the area I saw the truck and SUV.

Hi Teresa, it is really hard to find any information on this case. I just wish they would find Kristi and give the family some peace ,this is torture for them.

Someone said on another blog that they would be glad to join in a search of the Fire's Creek area, but I'm not so sure that would be a good idea .... if the perps should happen to be there I'm sure they would be dangerous, but I do think LE should definitely do a seach.

Teresa, It may be worth contacting John Bankhead with the GBI that was cited in this article to let him know you saw the truck at the place you like to hike. You said they were frequently there a few weeks back, maybe they continue to hang out there and they can get to them quicker that way.

Great Instincts, by the way!

I never knew Kristi or her family. However, this family has just really grabbed my heart. I am also 38 with three boys. I could not imagine what her son is going through. My heart goes out to him and the family. I pray for her safe return. Always have hope!

Hi Teresa, there is always hope and until Kristi is found lets hope for the best.Sad thing is he is an only child no brother or sister to comfort him.

Now Samantha do not get out of your pram, have posted some links that someone kindly left on another site, this is just to keep them together nothing else.

I have called the GBI again. This time I also called the local authorities attention to this area where this truck and SUV were spotted. It may lead to nothing. Yet it is still something. Everyone keep your hearts full of hope. She can still be found alive and well. It has happened before.

Well done Teresa, hope is everything.

I don't know why so many posters are bothering caught up i this internal bickering to Samantha...she is entitled to her opinion..as we all are. So just let it drop..it makes it hard to come here to pick thru the threads to find real news..I come here to find out news on Kristi. This "I'm right"...no I'm right" is counter productive. Let her have her opinion and honor it..if she wants to stand on a soapbox and proclaim D. innocence then so be it. But this place here, should be about Kristi and theories and thoughts..I am not convinced D. is guiltless, but only because I refuse to close my mind to ALL possibilities..not because I truly suspect him..at this moment, I suspect anyone and everyone that was in the area or had a connection with her...until I know for a fact they are in the clear, but unlike Samantha I do not assume because the police or news media have deemed someone free of guilt..that I necessarily believe that. In the last couple of years..for example, a lot of incarcerated people have been released from prison now that it is common practice to accept dna evidence..so obviously not only the police were wrong in those instances, but the prosecutor, the judge and the jury. So keeping a open mind at all times during a investigation, to me is imperative to finding the truth and the truth is what EVERYONE wants. A closed mind can prevent you from seeing the truth.

My thoughts and prayers are with this young lady and her family. Some of the comments I have read-I cannot believe. My prayer is that she will be found alive and return to her family safe. God bless her and her family.

In case anyone missed this. Cannot find anything on Kristi today,,,

Sex Offender Apologizes For Kristi Cornwell Poster
Poster Solicited Donations
Posted: 10:26 am EDT September 3, 2009
Updated: 11:10 am EDT September 3, 2009

ATLANTA -- The convicted sex offender who printed up a reward poster about a missing Blairsville woman told Channel 2 Action News Thursday he wants to apologize to Kristi Cornwell's family.

"I intended only to help," Gib Williams said of the poster that solicited donations and featured a photo of Cornwell.

The poster was discovered in the days following Kristi Cornwell’s disappearance, said Richard Cornwell.

It offered a $100,000 reward, but the Cornwell family had not yet set up a reward fund.

"It really is unbelievable that there are people in the world that will try to gain financially from this disgusting crime," said Richard Cornwell.

Williams said in an e-mail sent to Channel 2 Action News reporter Jodie Fleischer that he did not intend to profit off the search for Cornwell.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I sincerely hope that my impulsive actions, as well intentioned as they were, do not cause lasting undue hardship to the Cornwell family at this terribly difficult time in their lives," he wrote. "I can only offer my sincerest apologies. I AM SORRY."

Investigators believe that Kristi Cornwell was abducted while she was walking along Jones Creek Road in Blairsville more than three weeks ago.

Kristi Cornwell’s family believes that Williams was trying to profit off the case, but the GBI said it couldn’t charge him because Williams didn’t take any money.

excuse me for being thick-headed... how exactly would this man have been able to profit from this scam? I think this is fishy at best, and the guy has not only been arrested for a sex crime but for kidnapping as well in the past? So, is this going to turn out to be another duger story 20 years from now because leo is dismissing people with past criminal histories so easily?

A few of you have posted that any suspicious vehicles would be noticed right away in the area where Kristi was walking. Don't you find it odd that someone hasn't come forward and reported that they noticed a suspicious vehicle hanging out in that area prior to the abduction. We've heard about two vehicles that were seen driving in the area around that time, but nothing about a vehicle parked somewhere in the area. How is it that the perp(s) knew she would out walking at that particular time. Was she in the habit of going out at that exact same time every night? Isn't it true that she doesn't even live in that area anymore, but happened to be there visiting? I suggest that someone knew Kristi was out walking and made a phone call to report it to the assailant(s). Or, perhaps, someone was watching her from the woods or from a house within view. At any rate, someone knew what she was doing and had to be in a position to see her directly or talk to her, or talk to someone who knew what she was doing. I would like to know what phone calls Kristi made prior to calling Davis and what phone calls were made by members of the family the day of the abduction. It would also be helpful to know what Kristi had been doing a few days prior and who she had spoken with.
Also, It sounds as if they got her away from the abduction site pretty quickly, probably to somewhere close by. Most murders/sexual assaults happen within five miles of the victims home. I definitely believe this was premeditated. I am certain it is someone she knew. I would also guess that she was well hidden in the area until all of the searching was over. Earlier I suggested that someone in the area check for caves, mines, or crevices in the area. I've re-thought that and think that an old well, shed, or cellar, probably at an old, run-down farm, would be better places to look, and possibly, any mini-storage units in the area. At this point, she has probably been moved and either burned or buried. (sorry, no disrespect intended). I would like to end by saying that LE should really spend some time re-interviewing members of the family and all neighbors who live within viewing range of Kristi's parents house and those folks living in view of the abduction site. Especially anyone in those areas who is a convicted sex offender. I believe that, when the investigation is completed, people in the area are going to be aghast at who perpetrated this crime.

Hi Dan, your comments make perfect sense. If 'as you say she knew this person, would she not have said to Davis " Oh someone I know is stopping in his car and not shout and scream as Davis has claimed , if it was someone she knew her reactions according to what Davis has said would be all wrong, she would have been calm and chatting and then later if this person started to act strange she would have reacted...."Dont take me" still sounds wrong.

Davis said that he spent the weekend before at Kristis family home and that on the saturday evening walked that road with her. Do you go for a long walk in flip flops?

Hi everyone. I would like to speak briefly about the "please don't take me" comments. Have any of you ever misunderstood what someone said on a land line and/or cell phone. Happens all of the time. Could she have mentioned someone's name and Davis not hear it? Absolutely. Cell phone signals wane in and out all of the time. Could Davis have made up what was said? Absolutely. Clearly, the last statements made by Kristi are of little help. As Ironside said above, a point of interest are the flip flops. When you wear shoes such as flip flops, is it because you intend on taking a fast-paced walk for exercise? Hardly. You wear them for shopping trips, walking around the yard, or running outside to meet someone, for example. Is it possible that someone called Kristi and said, "Hey, can you come outside and meet me down the street, I really need to talk to you and I don't want to come to the house cause I can't stay long". Or, "Hey, I was in town and I really want to see you. Can you come by my (insert your own language ie. parents, brothers, etc)place. Don't tell anyone I'm here because I don't feel like getting tangled up with anybody right now. You see what I mean? The shoes are a really good clue. It's very possible that Kristi was lured out to the abduction site by a call. Food for thought.

I live in Blairsville, in an area not too far from where Kristi was abducted. After living here 8 years (5 years on a property just off Jones Creek Rd) I know the county well but it took me a long time to uncover lots of little roads and shortcuts. Jones Creek Road is a half circle. It starts and ends from Old Blue Ridge Highway, connecting Blairsville to Blue Ridge. However, there is a little shortcut that from the end of Jones Creek Road where Kristi was abducted that connects to Hwy 325/Nottely Dam Road, which then goes over Hwy 515 and continues on around Lake Nottely and on up to Murphy, NC. One would have to be a local to know that shortcut road or have lived here quite a while.

Kristi's phone was found the next day after her abduction on the side of the road by a man mowing his yard. I travel 325 a lot, as we now live off that road. Where the road ends at the lake and a Stop sign (2.3 miles from Hwy 515) you can go right and it will take you back to 19/129 where you can go North to Murphy or South to Blairsville. If you go left, you continue on 325 around the lake and come out on 19/129, turn left and go to Murphy or the Ranger area. Anywhere in this part of our county you can be in the wilderness areas in minutes.

Another post mentioned owltown. There is a road named Owltown Road, and that leads out to 19/129 towards Gainesville, and you can also take 180 from there and head toward the Helen area. This road is accessible from Old Blue Ridge Highway again. But it goes completely in the opposite direction from where her phone was found.

I had a very strange dream about a week ago as well. I refer to a post above where a guy mentions old wells. I even hate to mention this because I don't want to upset the family, but feel I need to. I'm not psychic but this dream was short and very vivid. The gist is that in my dream I was walking in a field and came to a tube like structure in the ground. I looked inside and it looked like a mannequin floating in the water, face up, with dark hair floating. In my dream I got a long stick and poked at it thinking it was a store "dummy", but realized very quickly that it wasn't. At that point I woke up with a start. I went straight out to the living room and told my husband about my dream. It was very eerie. I've never seen an old well, and I have no idea how they're constructed. I certainly hope that this was nothing more than my subconscious reaction to the newspaper articles about Kristi that I had read the previous day. We're all praying for her safety and to return home to her family alive.

I think the shoe thing is interesting, but not to discredit flipflops completely for walking, it may not be those cheap 1.99 flipflops, she may have had rather good "flip flops"...which I assume they are calling them that because they had the toe separator thong in them. I had a pair of rather good leather ones that were made to sort of mold to the contour of your foot and after awhile, they were incredibly comfy and stayed tightly on the bottom of my foot. I used to take walks in them often because of the comfort, so I don't think it is as suspicious as I first thought when I read about her wearing flip flops. Also I THINK someone posted here a while ago that she used to jog but had a injury so was only walking, so if that were true, she may have been taking a slow leisure walk and didnt need good solid shoes for that.
I am still inclined to think it is a random crime of opportunity...some sicko (s) driving along, seeing a woman walking alone in a somewhat isolated area..snatch , grab and drive away. If that turns out to be true, it may be much harder to find her, and to find the abductor for it appears there is little evidence and if they have no ties here..they could be all the way across the USA in two days. Now the phone call she was on, it appears they are not releasing everything that was said..so it is certainly possible that if she recognized the people she probably would have said said to D. who it was.. We can only speculate on what she may or may not have said, but I think that is why her statement of "don't take me" sounds so incredulous, because we haven't been told the entire conversation...or at the least, maybe D.misunderstood or simple did not hear everything. If she were being abducted and he was listening to it, her voice could have been shrill or shrieking and he simply may have not heard it correctly...but I have to admit...it STILL bothers me "Don't take me" still draws me back to that statement, for me, no matter how I try to explain it, it still is a red flag that I can't completely ignore.

I appreciate the ideas exchanged here and the leads to articles I have not seen. I am gripped by this case and pray daily for Kristi's safety and return.

As for Kristi taking a walk in flip flops, every kid I know country and city spends their life in a pair of those "rainbows" or something very similar! I personally avoid closed toe, restrictive shoes for as much of the year and circumstances allow! I grew up in the country and now spend every morning walking my dog in the city and my flip flops are a spring, summer, fall way of life. I can't wait until I can start wearing them in spring and dread that last almost warm day in late fall when I can get away with wearing them one more time. Kristi grew up there, knew the terain well and I don't see it unusual in the least to take a "dusk" stroll, once it's cooled down in the evenings, in a pair of flip flops. That would be something very normal for me to do, too.

Now for the phone thing. I have read in a couple of places that she was actually wearing a blue tooth style, hands free ear devise. So my theory here is that her abductors at first didn't realize she was on the phone, then they discovered she may have been trying to make some communication on her phone and threw it out of the window. Only "wild guesses" like every other thing here.

I do have incredibly intense dreams about Kristi and I am so haunted by this case. I have no idea what LE is doing but as most people feel, they are missing something, because they don't have some piece of the puzzle. Maybe they are just keeping it under wraps.

That poster for a $100,000 reward, posted by a registered sex offender, "huh"!?!?!?!?!?! There's a big ol' red flag! An attempted abduction in a nearby town at the same time of night, I think more than just "coincidental", but I'm just a regular ol person who knows nothing!

The total lack of information and any news of this case or communication from the family, leads me to believe that they do know "something" more than anything we have gained from normal news, that they are all keeping secret. It's just such a troubling situation.

Continue to pray fervently and regularly that Kristi, be returned home safe and will.

Best regards,
Daw Glbert

I also read about the blue tooth but don't know if it is just speculation or if she actually had one...however it makes a bit of sense with the info that was released...for if she had it on..her phone itself was probably tucked into a pocket secured on her body some way..in a case or clip. The abductor may not have realized she was on the phone or had an active open line when he abducted her, and the reason I think there was more than one person involved (a driver and the actual abductor) in the abduction is because of the phone...the phone was tossed out about three miles away..and I have read that the phone line was open for up to five minutes (again that may or may not be true, but something that was posted here I believe)..from the time of the abduction, struggle, getting her into the car and traveling those three miles, five minutes could easily have passed..and after she was disabled, a second abductor could have been securing her in the back seat when the phone was discovered and then tossed from the moving car which would put it about three miles down the road from the scene of the abduction. With such little info all we can do is speculate and try to piece together how the incident went down, however none of us really want to be right...what we really want is for her to show up alive and healthy and back with her family.

I was thinking of Kristi's apt. Did she have an answering machine and did anyone search the area for written notes or a diary? I was thinking if she was talking to someone she wanted to keep private-there might be a name or address or phone number written down. She may have talked to him and put his number or name on her nightstand. Was her computer checked for E-mails? I don't know if she used Myspace or Facebook, but might be wise to check. Might check the trash can in her apt for any notes.

Some useful links .I cannot find any reports in the press on Kristi, last one seems to have been on Aug. 25th.

Is there a time limit in the states where you just stop looking.?

Physical searches are called off after a week or so, but locals probably still keep searching. If it's a "stranger" abduction, then it's incredibly difficult to get any good leads. Hunting season starts soon so there's a better possibility of covering lots more ground.

I keep thinking about what one post said about Kristi possibly being "tazed". Sure makes sense to me. "Don't taze me" sounds way more credible. Are tazers that can be used from a short distance available to the public? Or just LE? She would be incapacitated immediately and put into the car pretty fast.

And keeping that secret information from the public is probably why Kristi hasn't been found .... more info needs to be released (it'll be 4 weeks Tues. that she was abducted).

Ironside, thanks for all the links ... there is no timeline in the USA when LE stops looking for a missing person, but they need credible info in order to search.

I believe one reason LE is not giving out more info/clues they've received is due to the wild goose chase from a socalled credible person that phoned into AMW (after a short segment of Kristi's abduction was aired) that stated Kristi could be found on King's Mountain near Charlotte NC and the circus that surrounded that search with nothing turning up .... why LE thought this person was credible is beyond me.

Mountain Momma, I understand exactly what you are saying. However, your Jones Creek Rd info is incorrect. There is about 3 or 4 areas where Jones Creek Rd and Lane enter onto Old Blue Ridge. Yes, you are correct about the one that "connects" to 325. However, it also comes out down the road by the Citgo/store and up the road by the "volunteer fire dept". I live around there. If you travel Dillard Rd E to W, by Bill Elliotts old place, you end up on Jones Creek Rd.

Also, as to an attempted kidnapping at the new Walmart. It opened Aug 19, and "supposedly" in an Atlanta newspaper, was a report about an attempted kidnapping at the new store in Blairsville. However, I have seen nothing in our local paper. Of course, they may not want to publish a "problem" happening so soon at our new store. I do not know which Atlanta paper, as this is coming to me from someone in NC. I would love to know if anyone can go back to Aug 19, 20, and check Atlanta paper.

mountain mama...stun guns and the like are readily available in some states..florida for example it is legal for anyone to have one..there are two types...one works on contact, sort of like holding a garage door opening in your hand, but you have to touch the person with it while it is turned on to get the massive jolt...the other style work as a projectile and are darts that go out and embed in the subject, I believe the darts have a wired that leads back to the hand held device and you are limited to distance as to the length of the wires which is a relatively short distance. Possibly someone else more familiar with them can answer it a bit better...but as for availability, like anything in this world, if your in the right place at the right time you can obtain them. And in some states they are legal, like in Florida. You can buy them there at flea markets even. I don't know what Georgia's laws are...but that is almost a mute point for criminals pay no heed to laws anyway.

In my town right now there is a man about to go to trial for killing his wife..he staged it to look like he had found her dead when she was late for a gathering and he went looking for her..his story fell apart under police investigation but it took a month for his arrest. Right now, you have the trailer massacre where 8 people were beat to death and the person (the son of the trailer owner) arrived home after a night out, to find his whole family killed, and it was announced today that he indeed was being arrested for their murders. So many murders are done by people known to the victim..that I know so many people think Kristis abduction was premeditated and planned..I find I still think it could be random a crime of opportunity, but yet based on past history and stats, I think it would show that a lot of murders are done by someone in the family, a friend or work acquaintance. I just WISH there were more to go on...my heart breaks for her parents and for her.

wouldn't you think that anyone traveling on that road, at that time has come forward?
especially ones that were driving the 2 mentioned vehicles?

I do not live any where near the area, so I don't have anything to add. I have been following this site since the day it happened, I check several times a day hoping for some good news. I feel so bad for the family and her son. My prayer is that she is found soon.

Out of curiosity...when was the last time anyone KNOWS for sure Kristi was ok? I don't recall anyone mentioning someone seeing her leave for a walk,(not counting the boyfriend's statements)..did her mom or folks see her leave? Other than the boyfriend, who actually knows when the last time Kristi was accounted for?

Hello everyone. After reading information about this case, for days now, I think that we can safely assume that the agencies investigating this case are not making any progress. It is time that they lift the gag order so that all of the information available about this crime can be available. After it is released, new tips will surface, GUARANTEED. Law Enforcement always waits entirely too long to release information that would help solve a crime of this nature. That is why there are so many COLD missing person cases. Protecting vital information, so as not to spook your primary suspect, usually someone that circumstantial and scant physical evidence indicates is the offender, is understandable, so that you can build the case. However, in this day and age, offenders know that is what LE is doing. Offenders today make use of that time to cover their tracks. It allows them to correct their mistakes and, thus, makes it harder for law enforcement to build a case. LE needs to release all of the information, NOW! I suggest that failure to do so has resulted in an unnecessary burden being placed on Kristi's family and community, and it has weakened the case. It may, I hate to say, even prevented being able to save Kristi's life. In cases like this, where no primary suspect has been identified, failure to release all of the information, in my opinion, is negligent. The Cornwell family and Blairsville community should demand the lifting of the gag order and demand that LE issue a press release detailing how far along they are in the investigation.

Dan, is there an actual gag order or are they simply NOT releasing info because they don't have any to release or because they simply dont see a need to release anything more to the public?

I suspect they are holding the convo with Kristi and D. from the public but not to sure why..... and also wonder do they have ANY persons of interest, other than the drivers of the two cars seen in the area...(and they may not even be involved in her disappearance.)

The only reason I can think that the conversation would not be released is because it contained evidence that they want to hold back or sit on. With that thought in mind, they could very well be building a case against someone out of that last coversation Kristi had with D...possibly she mentioned a name and if not a name, an acknowledgment that she knew the person(s) in the car. So often we see people we
"know" but dont remember their name..or someone we recognize but their name eludes you, if she was a probation officer in the past, she came in contact with a lot of people that she might recognize on sight..but not recall their name real quickly..especially under stress.

I do wish they would release more info but if they don't I do differ a bit from Dan for I think it could be because they are actively investigating and making a case on some of the undisclosed info. And if indeed there were an actual gag order given out by a judge or prosecutors office..then there would have to be a very good reason to withold the info.

Teresa NC, The info that you have seems to be very significant. I have experienced the same frustration trying to communicate valuable information to LE in a previous Union County, GA abduction.
The same 'keep it close to your vest' strategy was used in her search and the consequences for the innocent victim and their family was very tragic.
Thanks for attempting to share your valuable info..

Ditto what Dan said above .... even if LE doesn't disclose any new info, they need to at least keep the public informed of where the case stands on a weekly basis. People around this area are very antsy, especially with the stalking case in Murphy not far from Blairsville.

Samantha
what is the stalking case in Murphy? thanks for any info.

Agents in Kristi Cornwell case interview N.C. jogger
She avoided attempted kidnapping two weeks earlier
By Christian Boone

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

GBI agents are investigating the attempted kidnapping of a jogger one town over from where Kristi Cornwell was abducted.

The failed kidnapping occurred on July 26 in Murphy, N.C., roughly 20 miles from Blairsville, where Cornwell disappeared Aug. 11.

“There aren’t any real similarities, but there is proximity,” said GBI spokesman John Bankhead.

The attempted kidnapping occurred at 9:30 p.m. -- right about when Cornwell, 38, was grabbed while walking along Jones Creek Road, not far from her home. She was chatting on her cellphone with her boyfriend at the time of her disappearance, authorities say.

The GBI identified a large-size white SUV, and a tan or gold subcompact car, as vehicles possibly driven by Cornwell’s abductor. In the Murphy case, witnesses say the man was driving a red Ford Ranger.

“We’re following up on it, but right now there is no connection,” Bankhead said.

Cornwell’s case remains a mystery, despite national media coverage and a $50,000 reward

From the story above:
“There aren’t any real similarities, but there is proximity,” said GBI spokesman John Bankhead.

This makes it sound as if kidnapping in a 20 mile radius of Blairsville is a common occurance! Just because the car is different, doesn't mean the people inside were also different. Even if there were different numbers of people in the vehicles, it still doesn't make a difference. Couldn't it be a group of young rowdy meth heads looking for bigger and bigger thrills and dangers in life?

If the abductors were unknown to Kristi, and therefore no names for leo to go on, then why would they want Kristi of all people? Ease of circumstance? Woman out walking on deserted road, no witnesses, easy prey... A truck full, or SUV full of guys strung out and tweaking with absolutely nothing else to do but feed their sick minds...

God forgive this next part, they used Kristi up in a couple of weeks, thought it would be easy pickens and went to look for another victim. A sick, twisted group mentality of several tweakers in the hills.

A scenario that I had imagined and thought I would share.

Is there any chance that this was a kidnap for other purposes than the obvious? Could someone have wanted to take her to have access to her banking account? to assume her identity in some way? To get something non-physical from her that could benefit them?

If there were two people involved perhaps this went from a kidnap for one common purpose between them to something else, and the other person will talk in time. ???

We really need to establish the possible motive for the abduction to figure out where LE needs to concentrate its efforts. Was Kristi taken out of retaliation? If so, for what? Could the perp be a jilted lover, of Kristi's or DD's? Could she have been taken because she or someone close to her owed someone money? Was she taken because of something she saw? Was she taken because someone held something against her - life choices, probation officer, standing up for a friend who was going through a rough relationship, etc? Was she taken for sex? IMO, this was not a random crime. If anyone can help us eliminate any of the above, please let us know.

to Jadensmokes

The failed kidnap attempt of the jogger in Murphy, NC, (20 miles from Blairsville, where Kristi Cornwell was kidnapped) happened in July two weeks BEFORE Kristi disappeared in August.

The lack of news on this case is disappointing. I hope there is a lot of progress going on behind the scenes and leads to follow, even though we have no knowledge of it.

Not knowing what happened to a loved one is one of the cruelest things that can happen to a person.

Actually, the Murphy incident was two weeks after Kristi's abduction.

Actually the attempted kidnap of the jogger in Murphy was July 26th
http://www.cherokeescout.com/articles/2009/08/21/news/doc4a8b08c3c365f829821584.txt
I saw the truck the same weekend on the 23rd.

To Samantha

NO, the incident in Murphy with the jogger was JULY 26 @ 9:30 pm. Get your facts straight please. Have become tired of you trying to be the leading expert.

All this community wants is for Kristi to be found and the many questions about her abduction to be answered. This is truly a very trying time for her family, her friends & the community. All of us have suffered on many different levels. My grandchild has been so scared since the abduction that sleep patterns have changed, has become more fearful of the dark, scared to be in another room without an adult, and the list goes on. And before someone assumes that the child was not protected from this violent act, it is rather hard to protect anyone when there are massive amounts of LE swarming. I live within 1/2 mile of the spot where the cell phone was found. Needless to say Friday and Saturday were very stressful days. I had LE in my yard, in the woods behind my home, and in the woods in front of my home. We had LE up and down our street on foot and on ATV's. We had helicopters overhead so often you would think you were in a war zone, so low they were just barely above the treetops. So please, give us straight facts, not hype and get your facts straight before you do post.

We are all trying to find answers to what happened.

Has anyone heard that the Cornwell's are hiring private investigators to begin investigating the case?

Sandy said:
"To Samantha

You are indeed correct that it was July 26 ... I got the date confused because it wasn't publicized until the Cherokee Scout's August 26 edition.

I thought your insulting remark to me was uncalled for and mean spirited. I'm not trying to be any sort of leading expert in this case, I merely want Kristi to be found and back home with her family, so I try to relate all info I've garnered as this case has headed into the deep freeze big time.

You are not forced to read ANY of my (tiring to you) posts, so please feel free to skip them from now on.

Also, I found your remark concerning 'massive amounts of LE swarming around your neighborhood' very rude .... what did you think they were supposed to do ??? What if it had been a person in your family that had been abducted? Sorry all that has occurred has affected your peace and quiet.

You also act as if your neighborhood is the only one suffering in this entire area .... we are all suffering until Kristi is found, not just YOUR neighborhood.

And thanks to Teresa for pointing out my wrong posted date in a kind and considerate manner .... shows Teresa has class.

We have no idea .... the case has gone hushhush from the family and the LE.

Statement Analysis by Mark McClish...

Interesting concept.

There is a new thread at In.Sessions...a poster claims that a neighbor saw Kristi walking that night with a male but police have not clarified. Is this true or just forum gossip?

Thank you, Ironside, for providing that link. Information is only as good as its source, so I looked up info on Mark McClish that wrote the analysis of Douglas Davis's interview responses. Mr. McClish worked in federal law enforcement for 18 years and has published a book entitled "I Know You Are Lying: Detecting Deception Through Statement Analysis" which was published in 2001. Here is what amazon.com lists about him on their page for the book:

To Samantha
Guess I'm the next target of your abusive tongue. DID NOT IMPLY THAT MY NEIGHBORHOOD WAS THE ONLY ONE SUFFERING...JUST YOUR TAKE ON THE COMMENT.

Sandy, anyone who is a careful reader would have understood that your comments about the extensive LE presence close to your home were to explain why your young grandchild, who has been frightened by this incident, was aware of what happened (the abduction) in the first place.

Samantha would do well to take more time to understand what she reads and then double check what she thinks are facts or her understanding of them BEFORE she hits the post button. I think she is in too much of hurry to chime in without ensuring first that what she has to say is true or useful. Unfortunately for her, even if her intentions are for good, her posts will eventually be automatically discounted by most, if the information they contain is often erroneous.

Sandy said:

I admitted the date was wrong that I posted and I explained why above .... what more do you want from me? There's a lot of wrong info posted on blogs ... why don't you go after those posters instead of focusing on my one mistake ????

Perhaps LE should take a look at YOU since YOU seem to live in the same area and YOU seem to be overly distraught that LE has put YOU and YOUR grandson through so much invasion of privacy while searching for Kristi around your premises ... YOU could simply explain to YOUR grandson that the people that took Kristi were not people looking to abduct children, but they were (evidently) looking for grown females .... that should ease his mind.

YOU sound like YOU and YOURS are the victims of this crime instead of Kristi Cornwell and the Cornwell family .... why don't YOU get off of YOUR self appointed pity party and start searching for Kristi, since YOU say YOU live near the Cornwells and the crime scene.

What exactly have you done to help your neighbors, the Cornwells, at this time of their misery and pain ????

At this time I have two questions for Samantha....

ARE YOU A UNION COUNTY RESIDENT?
and
IF YOU ARE, IN WHAT PART OF THIS COUNTY DO YOU RESIDE?

I will with hold my comments to you and my comments with regards to this situation until those two questions are answered.....

Doug Davis said in Ann Curry interview:

" And I believe that if we could just step up this search, that is those out there right now who knows the, the real truth of this story who knows where she is that they, they pick up the phone make the call and, and let us bring Kristi home."

I believe, and have always believed, that the Cornwell's and D. Davis know much more than they are releasing to the public which I believe is hendering this entire investigation. I was very relieved to find that the Cornwell's are hiring private investigators.

And there has to be situations in the past involving her previous career (parole officer and working at a prison) that could very well involve people she had to deal with in that capacity .... maybe a parolee or a prisoner that was obsessed with her or had a personal vendetta. I would hope the PI's would delve heavily into that possibility ... it certainly would seem that whoever took Kristi had a criminal mind and criminal background.

I live in Cherokee County NC (about 15-20 miles from the turnoff to Hwy 325 (Nottely Dam Rd) ... I am also an avid walker (15 years) and that's one reason why I am so concerned and interested in this case. This area had not yet gotten over the Merideth Emerson abduction/murder then the Cornwell and Murphy cases pop up the very next year .... it's very unnerving.

Darling Samantha,

Sweetie you really need to READ what people post before you assume you know to WHOM you are addressing. Clearly the SECOND Sandy that addressed the FIRST Sandy is a DIFFERENT person, and from reading the FIRST SANDY’S post she said GRANDCHILD not GRANDSON nor GRANDDAUGHTER but GRANDCHILD .. how many times are you going to make a fool of yourself by spouting off at the drop of a hat about situations you clearly know NOTHING about.

To BOTH Sandys, let me take this time to APOLOGIZE for the idiotic things this woman is saying to the BOTH of you.

NOW I was going to wait but clearly this WOMAN/MAN (because WE really DON’T know for sure now do we) likes to get up on her/his soapbox and try and make their voice the loudest when in fact all they seem to alienate people from reading anything they have to say when a quarter of the time they MIGHT have something RIGHT in their posts.

I AM a UNION COUNTRY RESIDENT, I grew up here and I LIVE in the same general area as the FIRST SANDY and she is CORRECT in saying that the LAW ENFORCEMENT was swarming the area covering it in all possible ways. MY CHILD is also traumatized by this situation. The GBI, GDC, FBI, UCSO, UCRS, UCFD, Blairsville PO, EMS and Law Enforcement from other counties were all over the place in helicopters, on 4-wheelers, walking and even on horseback. The Command Post for this incident was stationed a MILE from my house, when ever MYSELF or members of MY HOUSEHOLD left our home we were in roadblocks and other situations where the LE was questioning EVERYONE in this part of the COUNTY. Kristi’s disappearance AFFECTED us ALL as a COMMUNITY. This is a RURAL country community there is NO “neighborhoods” per-say. We have GENERAL areas that we say we are from IE: Jones Creek Area, 325 area, or Young Creek area, and considering all these AREAS were affected by Kristi’s disappearance I think that both SANDY and MYSELF would know more about this than say someone like YOURSELF. The residents of these AREAS would know better then most the extensive searches that were being held to find her. So as you are CLEARLY an OUTSIDER please get YOUR facts STRAIGHT before you AGAIN run YOUR mouth about the situation and the COMMUNITY to which you CLEARLY don’t know a thing about. And I’m sorry to INFORM YOU but being from MURPHY, NC does not make you an EXPERT of UNION COUNTY GEORGIA. Now I can CLEARLY say I know some of MURPHY because I HAVE lived there, but I DO NOT claim to be an expert on any situations that happen “across the border”. So please if you care to give us INFORMED details that are FACT and not the ramblings from someone that OBVIOUSLY has nothing better to do with their time then to sit on the internet and slander or “cyber bully” others ((and an FYI to you on this CYBER BULLYING is a FEDERAL CRIME)) then please give us INFORMED FACTS if not .. Hunny there is a big wide world out there, get off the computer quit trying to be a know-it-all and soak up what’s left of the warm sunny days and get some fresh air.

Now with that being said IM GETTING off MY soap-box and I’m going to spend the rest of this evening with my family and as usual my thoughts and prayer are with the Cornwell family. God Bless Everyone of you , May we bring Kristi back safely and if that is not possible then perhaps the Cornwell family and THIS COMMUNITY find closure in this terrible tragedy that has happed to us ALL and for you Ms. Samantha I Pray that you learn to curb your vicious thoughts and quit assuming you know EVERYTHING about EVERYONE and please remember the first three letters in the word assume is ass and that what YOU make of yourself when you assume you know more than others and oh yeah I’m so glad to see that the FBI hired YOU to be a PROFILER for them. ::rolls her eyes and posts this blog before her soapbox comes back out::

Get lost blairsvile gal, I will in no way read all the gibberish you have posted above .... I don't waste my time with fools who love to read their own childish rantings and ravings ... you're the one who thinks your an expert on this case simply because you live in Union County GA .... big deal.

Again, as I told someone above, you are not forced to read my posts so please pass them by from now on. I am on this thread in hopes of finding Kristi because I, too, am a walker (maybe you should try walking) .... I'm not here to argue with backwoods, mountain, redneck aborigines (I'm sure you'll have to look up that word IF you even own a dictionary) who show their ignorance via nonsensical posts such as yours.

Samantha are you the same gal from facebook that used to post on a tv show blog? Your writing is similar to hers.

Samantha, I must speak my peace about you and your postings. The ONLY backwoods, mountain, redneck aborigines(as YOU called someone) are those who would proudly wear that name just as I would but I'm not! Does native South Carolinian count? BTW, a hardback dictionary is not needed if you have a computer. You have mentioned the word slander and how people are so against you in this forum. Have you ever thought about why? You are NOT contributing anything positive towards this case and it is very evident by the many posts asking you to THINK before you speak or write. That is why God gave us two ears and one mouth. Use your time and energy being helpful and not hostile.

There have been several abduction cases in the news in the past 10 years and my daughter heard the news and was scared of staying in her room. Her sleep patterns changed just as one poster said above. It is not just about her community but our entire society. None of us can truly understand what the Cornwell family is going through right now unless it has happened to us personally.

You may say whatever you like about me and what I have posted on this day. My wish at this moment is for Kristi to be found safe and returned home to her family. My other wish is intended with all sincerity that you step back and READ what you are about to post. Think twice how you would feel if this were YOU missing and YOUR family having to read these negative comments.

To everyone else, I apologize for getting on my soapbox. I DID look forward to logging in and reading the latest with nothing but sheer hope. I don't have to log on, I know. I don't have to read the posts either. I DO because my heart truly wants the outcome for Kristi and all other cases to end with nothing but happiness. In reality though I know not all will end with the results we had hoped for but maybe there will be closure.

Samantha,
FYI: There were TWO posts by two DIFFERENT Sandy's. To whom were you insulting and accusing of being involved with Kristi's abduction? Me or the other one??? I KNOW THERE ARE TWO because I DID NOT post the other comment. I am being vague here ON PURPOSE, but I would think the moderator of this blog could verify that there are TWO different Sandy's with TWO DIFFERENT required e-mail addresses. So again, WHO ARE YOU ACCUSING?

How do you know that Blairsville gal is a backwoods mountain redneck aborigine? Do you personally know this person? And as to walking, what crystal ball did you gaze into that told you that she DOESN"T walk? And how do you know she DOESN'T have a dictionary? Maybe you SHOULD offer your services to the FBI, GBI and the UCSO as, again, you seem to know-it-all.

Hmmmmm.

Sammy Dear, I must say AGAIN cyber bullying and cyber slander are BOTH federal CRIMES .. case point the fact you called me a "backwoods, mountain, redneck aborigines" Sweetheart, just because I talk slow does not by any means of the imagination mean in no uncertain terms that I am stupid. I'm glad to know that you are saying Ms. Cornwell ((fyi Kristi's Mom)) and all the other TEACHERS in the UNION COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM are unable to educate us poor backwoods hicks. As you seem to think you know anything at all about my educational background.

Mr. & Mrs. Cornwell, I am truely sorry that this blog has gotten so out of hand by a person who at one point I believe had their heart in the right place but now is a constant eyesore to this blog.

As for you Sammybaby I PRAY that God grants you the WISDOM to know when to keep YOUR thoughts to YOURSELF before someone gets truely offend and takes further LEGAL action against you. (If you think im wrong about this please get a hold of some of the backwoods, mountain, redneck aborigines LE personel such as Bear, Dallas, Cowboy, Berry, or even Scott. Oh and BTW i DO know them by namd and they DO know me and my family) If you can't understand what I'm saying this way I'll put it in the "backwoods, mountain, redneck aborigines" speach you so love to accuse me of having .. girl u best not be fronting and git ur facts rite from da getgo and u best be stepping bak off mah bak and lookin to da realz pepls dat be knowin what day bes talkin bouts.

::crosses her eyes and shakes her head going back to the PROPER ENGLISH that our backwoods, mountain, redneck aborigines teachers taught us in school::

Perhaps the moderator of this blog needs to "MUTE" you like other moderators of other blogs have done.

How the heck do I know which Sandy is which if they both have the same screen name? I don't have access to posters' email addresses here, do you?

How I know that Blairsville (socalled Angel) is a backwoods, mountain, aborigine, redneck is the her childish rantings and ravings. I am here for Kristi, not anybody else, I'm not here to argue with idiots ..... please skip my posts if you don't care to read them .... it's a real simple solution.

Pittbull (screen name figures), I don't read ultra long posts so you're wasting your time and energy unless they contain vital info concerning finding Kristi.

Joan, I have never been on facebook in my life, sorry.

Steve...Steve..where did you go Steve ? Are you hiding out in a dark room ? Did your computer blow up from all this cat fighting! You are the referee right!!

I think we need to rename this site THE JERRY SPRINGER SITE. What happened to that Southern Baptist Convention we started out with I kind of miss it about now?

Samantha

I guess I just made a point...YOU DON'T KNOW SQUAT. You also avoid answering direct questions by going on a rampage of slam-dunking anyone who differs in their opinions or chastises you. And you call others immature.

So again, just which Sandy are you accusing of being involved in Kristi's abduction? You might want to go back to those posts and figure it out.

I profoundly apologize for my claws showing. I totally agree with you.

I would first like to state that I by no means are pointing fingers at anyone. I think everyone is a person of interest until I hear more details of the case. However did anyone notice any discrepancy in the interviews DD gave to Nancy Grace and Ann Curry?

Teresa, could you post links? I saw the Ann Curry interview, but only read the transcripts for Nancy Grace. Would be interested in seeing it. I think I know what you are getting at but I want to be sure I'm right before I say anything. Thanks.

Samantha falsely stated below,

"Pittbull (screen name figures), I don't read ultra long posts so you're wasting your time and energy unless they contain vital info concerning finding Kristi."

For your information, READ AGAIN! My name is PITTBULLFRIEND! Not pittbull! I chose my screen name carefully! I happen to have 5 dogs that I have rescued and one is a pitt which is the best dog I have ever owned!

If I were able to find Kristi, I would. That is not my line of work. I can read and hope which is far better than what YOU are doing! GROW UP!

Sorry I meant the Nancy Grace and the Maggie Rodriguez interviews.

Well in the Nancy Grace interview he states this: DAVIS: Well, as you know, due to the investigation the depth of that conversation I can`t really divulge at this time. However, I heard her scream and it made me -- my first reaction that maybe the car that she spoke about maybe had hit her. And so I was calling her name. But then it became quite apparent to me that she was indeed being abducted by whomever these people were in this car.
Here's the link. It is close to the bottom of the page: http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0908/24/ng.01.html

In the Maggie Rodriguez on The Early Show interview he says this: On "The Early Show" Friday, Davis told co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez Cornwell "was screaming. And you knew immediately what was happening. I was helpless....

Sorry, folks, but I was the second "Sandy" but only by accident. My post was directed to Sandy and thinking that, I must have typed in her name as my username instead of "Jolie." Sorry for the confusion that caused. I haven't read all of the posts that followed yet but will comment more at a later time if there is something in them I'd like to respond to.

Jolie

for Sandy #1 and Samantha

I live in the Midwest and have never been to North or South Carolina, so I guess that rules me out as a suspect in the abduction of Kristi Cornwell. I guess that leaves you, Original Sandy ;)

Jolie

Th one thing I disagreed with in theory with Mark McClish on his assessment of Douglas Davis's interview responses is his variance in the word describing Kristi's disappearance. McClish says most people will stick to using the same word over and over. Douglas started out using the word 'tragedy' but then subsequently used the word 'ordeal' and then appears to start saying the word tragedy later on but switches to 'event' mid-word. I know McClish has a lot of professional experience in criminal investigation interviews and that weighs a lot, but I have to add that when I'm writing, I try not to use the same words over and over again, even if I am prone to wanting to select the same ones, and will look for synonyms of the words I overuse. Perhaps Mr. Davis is the same way. If he is a pastor, he likely writes regularly and may have this habit, too.

However, the other points McClish made seem dead-on, such as Davis frequently speaking of Kristi in the past tense.

Gee thanks!
Was trying to get Samantha to stop, re-read then see what jumping to conclusions can cause.

Thank you for trying to explain what I meant when I origanally posted. Too bad some people aren't so astute.

Teresa,
Thank you for the links.

Seems like the more interviews he does, the more there are slight differences in his statements. Story isn't quite the same each time it is told.

From a professional standpoint, based on years working with schoolchildren, I'd be able to pinpoint "stories" just by listening to the kids...letting them incriminate themselves.

Maybe that is what LE is doing...giving enough rope so the person responsible can and will hang themselves.

Just hope that Kristi comes home safe and sound.

You know who said:
"The street lights that were in that area had been unplugged by the man before he attacked. Also, the area surrounding her is very spread out...'

I don't understand why people such as the one I quoted above want to write rumors and misinformation. The situation is already horrible enough.

There are NO streetlights in this area (I have family that lives less than a mile from where it happened). My sister drives a copper-colored small car - boy did she get stopped and searched a lot lately! Of course she cooperates fully, just as everybody around there is doing. We all want Kristy found and pray that a good ending will come of this.

So, time for some facts:

The boyfriend was no where near the area when it happened.

There are no streetlights where it happened and houses are from several hundred yards to more than a 1/4 mile apart from each other. It's very remote.

My best hopes, wishes and prayers for Kristy, her family and other loved ones.

John

As all options are on the table , I have been looking at other forums and there is talk that this may have been a staged abduction. That is staged by Kristi for whatever reason.Some say this is the reason the family are keeping quiet. Not sure I go along with this. Kristi was in a very remote area and I for one would not have walked there for obvious reasons by what may have happened to Kristi.

However , if it is true that Richard Cornwell is now asking for donations to pay a private detective this to me does show a red flag. Why at this early stage do they need private detectives. Are the police not doing their work, just because the press are not reporting on this story does not mean that LE do not have leads.

I am getting a little tired of "abductions" modern day style ..girl goes missing family beg for money.

Let the police do their work.

The only donations that I know of is people donating to the reward fund that United Community Bank is sponsoring for anyone with information on the safe return of Kristi and/or for anyone with information that will lead to the capture and conviction of those responsible.

"Why at this early stage do they need private detectives. Are the police not doing their work, just because the press are not reporting on this story does not mean that LE do not have leads."

It seem like an early stage to you or others but to the family it has probably been an eternity..they are living and breathing finding their daughter..and if we are frustrated with the lack of info, they may very well be too.

Hi Everyone. I'd like to add my two cents worth about the "private investigation" and the GA governor's action. The article in the North Georgia news said that the Governor was able to procure $1000 to put toward the reward for information about Kristi. It then said that Richard decreased the family reward money by $1000 to help the family with their Private investigation. I think we may be jumping the gun about any private investigators being involved. If you check out the family's website "www.kristicornwell.com" they seem to asking for donations for supplies. I think that it would be nice if they could afford to hire some really good private investigator(s).
For those of you who live in the area of the offense, my prayers go out to you. Be strong, be patient, this will eventually be over. I know that you folks remember the sniper shootings a few years ago. My community, like many others, was shook up. I did not send my daughter to school for a couple of days. But, LE finally nabbed them. I am going to make a prediction that this case will be solved by the month's end. Just be vigilant and look out for each other. If you see vehicles or people who just look out of place, trust your instincts and report it to LE. They get paid to check that stuff out. I am certain they want to solve this case as bad, or worse, than most. This case has given them a black eye. One last suggestion, you guys should contact the Sheriff's office and ask them for a weekly update on the case. Or, call your local TV news and ask them to do it. It will help your community get through this. Finally, forgive Samantha. I believe that she is a good hearted person, like all of you, who has found this case distressing and anxiety producing. Now, that you have all had a chance to vent, let's get serious about figuring out if there is anything we can do to help figure this thing out.

I would imagine GBI and local LE have budget restraints preventing them from delving heavily into Kristi's previous career as a parole officer and her work in a prison, which in my opinion, is where information on the perp(s) will be found .... whoever abducted Kristi had to have a criminal mind and a criminal background.

I believe it was someone from her past that either was obsessed with her OR had a vendetta against her.

Kristi and D. Davis had been dating only a very short time ... not enough time for any kind of rage or resentment to build in him to commit a crime of passion = no motive ..... he was in Atlanta with solid alibis and she was in Union County GA, 2 hours away = no opportunity.

I am so glad the family is hiring private investigators since many who are in that field were former FBI agents who have the needed skills to solve crimes.

I also believe it was someone she knew .... have LE and GBI checked out Dalton with a fine tooth comb where she had an apartment and was attending school?

Also, I believe the neighborhood/area of the Cornwell's residence should be double checked as whoever took Kristi had to have known she was visiting her parents at that exact time and that she had a habit of walking in late afternoon ... I believe she had been stalked. I have never believed this was a random abduction in such a rural area.

Does anyone know the answer to this? I asked this once before but never saw a reply, if there was one I apologize for I must have missed it.

Question: When was the last time that it is actual fact..that Kristi was known to be alive and well.. NOT counting the phone conversation with D. ? Who saw her leave for her walk? And what is the time frame from the time she left for her walk and the abduction.

I don't know if it is important or not...I know the time the phone call was placed for they were able to deterine that...but who actually physically saw her last? Her mom? Her dad? Her son? Does anyone know?

No one knows ... this information hasn't been disclosed.

I saw a post yesterday that said that a Union Church employee saw Kristi walking with someone as she passed the church, prior to the incident. Has anyone else heard this and know if there is any truth to it at all?

Eeeps!!!

It seems I was only partly correct when I said that the fund was for the safe return of Kristi and/or for anyone with information that will lead to the capture and conviction of those responsible.

When the reward/search fund was established, it had a max amount set at $50K for the reward. This was mainly because the family did not want someone waiting for a larger amount to be reached and then turn in the information that would help the LE. Any funds that are contributed above the 50K cap is going to be used for the ongoing family search for Kristi. For example: say Bill, who is a member of the Jones Creek community decided to donate 20K to the reward fund, any money that his donation put above the $50K would be used to help with the families private search for Kristi.

I'm sorry I only got it partly correct but here is the corrected, complete information. In the North Georgia News article, Richard states that the money will be used for the families "private investigation". Nowhere is there any indication that the family had "hired" a Private Investigator.

I am wondering then, if they haven't officially released any info on the last time Kristi was actually known to be seen alive and well (not counting the phone conversation with bf during abduction) and again not accusing or pointing any fingers, but is that not significant in itself? I did read a posting that she had been seen walking with someone but I never read that it was confirmed. Is it possible that she never went on that fateful walk, could something have happened to her hours before that..and that items were deliberately left to be found? Or that she did go on the walk but much earlier in the evening? We are all focusing on what little info has been released so far, but do we need to look beyond that? I don't know how a phone call could be rigged..for both phones were in the locations they were supposed to be so the phone thing is probably the deal breaker on this line of thought. I am not speaking negative about D. or anyone, but with this at a standstill, I think we would all be foolish to make any sort of assumptions.. and we should do some thinking "outside the box". Every day that passes equates out to a smaller chance of her survival.

0ld article dated Aug 17th sorry I didnt catch the name of the paper, believe it was Atlanta Journal or similar name..link below:

http://www.ajc.com/news/police-testing-blairsville-theories-117175.html

"Investigators ruled out the possibility that Cornwell’s abductor had staked her out as she exercised, saying that she normally doesn’t walk that four-mile loop that late at night."
***

If that is a accurate statement, then she wasn't following her normal pattern of walking.

I was looking on Yahoo search for any articles I had not previously seen. I found one that had photos and two of the photos showed the yard where her cell was found. I had more or less already figured out where this area was but never knew the "exact" side of 325. Knowing now where the phone was found raises some questions:
Why was the cell tossed at this location? More appropriate places to "loose" the phone had been passed with more to come. This is one of only a few places along 325 that the shoulder of the road doesn't dip into deep, weedy, unmowed areas. The location where the cell was found is always being mowed, right out to 325. Wonder if the tosser of the cell knew this and that's why it landed there. Also "just down" the road is several places a person could turn around and head back to 515.
Could the location of the cell be a "red herring" to get LE to look in one direction while they went in another? Once back to 515, right takes you to Atlanta, left takes you towards SC, via Clayton, GA. Left also takes you towards Blairsville, BUT numerous little side roads can get you south to either 19/129 or 60. Locals know this. Once on 19/129 you have more choices ... left on 180 to Richard Russell Scenic Hwy to Helen. Right on 180 to Suches to 60, left to Dahlonega, or right to Blue Ridge (but that is coming back towards the scene of the abduction). Once in Dahlonega you can pick up 300 towards ATL. ... the same 300 that Hilton used.

Just a thought. Always wondered why the cell was tossed on 325 so close to 515 (less than a mile).

Hmmm...

From the previous posting:
"Investigators ruled out the possibility that Cornwell’s abductor had staked her out as she exercised, saying that she normally doesn’t walk that four-mile loop that late at night."

Kristi was currently out of her normal routine, "visiting" her parents during her school break. I seldom walk regularly at the same exact time and I frequently vary my route for a "change of scenery" or any number of reasons. I don't think stalkers think like normal people, they have more patience to wait for the time to strike. Also, if someone was "staking her out" and all they knew is she was there at her parents home, they could have just been "waiting" for her to come out in her vehicle as much as waiting for her to be walking. I just don't believe the "variance" automatically rules out the possibility that she was being watched and waited on by someone stalking her.

I think there's a lot of information available that's just not being made public for a variety of reasons. I hope that's the right decision and that there will still be a positive outcome to the case. It's hard for me to imagine that Kristi staged this, because I believe something would have to surface by now, like her trying to obtaining money or a sighting by someone. I know it happens, but seems abnormal for a mother/daughter to set up abandonment there where her child and parents are waiting for her or will be.

What's "normal" but a laundry setting?! Certainly nothing about this case is very normal. I pray daily for Kristi and the Cornwell family!

You can access the second page at www.ngnews.com and click on page 2 on the left side and it will come up. That's the page where Richard Cornwell states about a private investigation (semantics aside ... wouldn't a private investigator be involved in a private investigation?)

I am in complete agreement, but I could imagine the LE and GBI have insisted that the family not give out more info to the public (why is beyond my comprehension ??) .... to me, that's one reason why they're hiring private investigation/investigator ... perhaps then more info will be released to the public.

Hello Sandy could you please post a link of these articles. I would love to read them. Thanks for sharing the info.

The link that BlairsvilleAngel posted goes straight to page 2 of the North Georgia News. I know because I used it earlier. Let me post it again:
http://www.nganews.com/content.aspx?Module=Quickpage&ID=3448&MemberID=1281

And as far as "(semantics aside ... wouldn't a private investigator be involved in a private investigation?)"

Possible but not necessarily does the families "private investigation" mean PI involvement. The family is asking for donations of "Hiking & Hunting" gear which could indicate that the family plans to search the wilderness areas that LE has not covered. Also FYI, Mr. Cornwell, the father, established and organization years ago, called the Wilderness Scouts. Kristi sat on the Board of Directors of this organization. This information came from the North Georgia News shortly after her abduction but I've know it for years. So perhaps the "private investigation" is the family searching deeper into the National Forest. If not, and indeed they have hired a PI ... GOOD FOR THEM!!!

From today's Clay County Progress newspaper:

It has been a month since the apparent abduction of a 38-year-old Blairsville, Ga. woman and while the glare of media attention has dimmed, the investigation remains a priority, according to GBI Director of Public Affairs, John Bankhead.

“This has been switched from a general search to a missing person investigation and that will continue until she is found,” Bankhead said.

Not necessarily! Their private investigation may consist of putting out flyers, manning phone lines, searching with private members of the community, et al. It doesn't necessarily mean that an investigator is going to be hired.

Pffft, then in your next post you state: (clipped for brevity)... to me, that's one reason why they're hiring private investigation/investigator.

That's possible but this area is so rugged, mountainous and forested that it would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack UNLESS the family knows something that has not been made public.

They're already doing all of the above and I don't make up facts as I go along .... you don't know if a private investigator is going to he hired or not ... all I know is what Richard Cornwell said ... make of it what you will ... it certainly IS a possibility going by what he said.

Samantha,
Did you not read the rest about the FATHER, years ago, establishing the WILDERNESS SCOUTS in Blairsville. The kids he worked with didn't go to the "cushy" Boy Scout camp on Boy Scout Road ... he took them into the WILDERNESS, meaning the "rugged, mountainous and forested" areas of UNION COUNTY ... so, isn't it conceivable that they, the family, might have a good idea of areas to look and narrow down that "needle-in-a-haystack"?

Well unless the family has some clues (possible areas of interest) that's not being publicized, then I stand by my first statement concerning "like looking for a needle in a haystack", and I would imagine with Kristi being in her 40s that her father is on up in age and not able to withstand wilderness trekking any longer.

Also, I would imagine if they had any possible (area) clues that they would have already been checked out by the LE, her brother, younger members of her neighborhood, her family and her church.

Teresa,
I will post the link to the picture of the location of the cell. Like I said I was looking for information I hadn't seen before. I don't know how far back in the search pages I was but I am, and will keep looking. And before someone suggests that I check todays history, I cleaned the computer a little while ago and my history for sites visited were also cleaned.

Samantha, I wasn't trying to be snipish, but wanted to point out that in your first post you show cause for why you think the family will be hiring an investigator. Then in the next post you say they're hiring an investigator. To me, when you make a statement like "they're hiring an investigator" it comes off as a fact you're stating and not just your conjecture. With no news coming from media and LE, everyone is grasping at rumor and running with it. I want to stop that from THIS site before it happens.

Sandy and I don't "know" each other, but we both had the same notion upon reading your posts.

And, yes, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I can only hope that more than one person was involved and one of them will get a conscious and a heart and let someone know where Kristi can be found.

Samantha,
Well Sherlock,
Shame on me for having a brain and trying to use it for any other thoughts other than your own opinions. Acording to you, NO way is it possible that my opinion/suggestion could be a possibality, afterall you have deemed a comment made by Richard Cornwell "private investigation" to = a PI. And as far as using the funds for this "private investigation" for flyers and any other office supply type items, phone lines, I guess these supplies and the possible phones don't cost anything therefore there is not reason for money to be used EXCEPT for the services of a PI.

Oh by the way, Kirsti is 38, not in her 40's. And yes her father is not able to personally conduct or participate in any possible FAMILY SEARCHES, but he still has a mind, which works, and the ability to use his head and experiences to make suggestions where to look.

Samantha,

Fundraiser set for missing Blairsville mom
By Megan Matteucci
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The family of a missing Blairsville mom is trying to raise money to continue the search now that police help and media attention have decreased....

...The search fund will pay for advertising, fliers, hiking equipment and other supplies, Hogsed said. The family has already raised $50,000 for a reward fund.

Excerpt from AJC article dated Friday August 28, 2009

See link below for full article:
http://www.ajc.com/news/fundraiser-set-for-missing-126427.html

FYI: Hogsed full name is Keith Hogsed and he is Kristi's cousin, another family spokesperson. I'm sure his information is accurate. Nowhere in the article is there mention of hiring a PI. In fact this article backs up what both Jadesmokes and I stated above...families private investigation = families private investigation. NOT PI INVOLVEMENT, AT THIS TIME.

As of now we don't know if the donations were for private investigation or PI investigation ... all I know is what Richard Cornwell said ... take it as you will. I don't see a family involved private investigation without some form of professional PI involvement.

To the administrator of this site, could you please bring forth the latest info first as it takes a long time to download and scroll down to the latest info .... thanks !

Or start an entire new thread .... thanks?

I was wondering about Kristi's son. Did he live with Kristi and was he close to her boyfriend? Did he like him? Did her son have any problems in school or with the law? Did he live in the apartment with her or somewhere else? Does he have friends that drive? Kids know alot more than we give them credit for.

I was interested in the poster who apparently was a Psychic who tied this case to a farm and a van, because I as a psychic saw some of these same things and I also believe from my information that Kristi was held in a barn for some time.

My Information points to a forest area and I hear the words she will be found by hunters then I see a silver bell to point to closer to the holidays.
Several psychics are posting some of the things I believe from my notes coming to me, and I wish that more people would pay attention to psychics and not discredit them so much because I believe they only mean to help and miht actually help solve more cases if people would only liste to them and not be so skeptical of psychic information, because after all Jesus was a Psychic Channel for Spirit and we know he had a lot of trouble having people believe him back then and eventually he, joan of arc and the so called witches of salem met very violent ends from those who ridiculed them and finally got rid of all of them through violence.

I write these things because I too have been ridiculed and even had people who read my psychic blog set up websites to threaten and ridicule me simply for telling the world the things I see as a psychic.

I am very careful now about offering my information because on more than one occassion I have been so right on with the information that I gave law enforcement such as what a murder house looked like hundreds of miles away that their response caused me to believe I would be arrested after one told me there was no way I could describe the murder house so accurately unless I had personally been inside the house.
I noticed on here that someone mentioned Gail St. John as giving information about this case and I would like to say I believe she is a good psychic and someone who was quite accurate in a case of a little missing girl in Michigan when she predicted where the little girl would be found, and she was actually found right where she said she would be when two fishermen came up on the body.

So don't be so quick to discredit psychics because these things do come to them in visions and dreams and sometimes they ask for the information and sometimes it just pops into their heads and dreams in bits and pieces which are tied together as time goes on like jigsaw puzzles.
It was through Psychic information like this that I received technicolor like movies of the entire kennedy assassination from beginning to end from who plotted it and why and I have been trying to get the story of the assassination of JFK to the world on his instructions since l986 and no one will believe me because its psychic information and this makes him very unhappy in the spirit world and just yesterday he appeared to me and showed me his enternal flame going out and said if I don't get the information to this world this is what will happen as far as he is concerned.
I would also like to say when a person is killed its possible for their spirit to return and try to get information to their friends and family members in dreams and even ideas they put into their heads and the human may not even know where the hunches are coming from and so in these cases sometimes following a hunch will lead to the solving of a case.

Psychic information added to my earlier post:
Keep in mind this is psychic information unproven and offered by myself who lives hundreds of miles from the scene and have very little knowledge of what the area looks like specifically although I have traveled through some of the hilly states and have a general idea what its like there.
My Psychic information leads me to believe Kristi was taken by two men who were hired killers, and the man who hired them has an alibi.

I am seeing that this man was trying to change Kristi's mind about something she was determined to do and he could not stop her.

The man according to my psychic information is someone close enough to Kristi to share a toothbrush.

I feel she will be found close to home, in a wooded area which could be hilly and there may be some sort of indention like creek or stream running through the property, and as I said in earlier post I get the idea of her being found by hunters.

I believe from reading some of the posts people who live in the area might read the pooled psychic notes as to routes and mountains and forest areas and perhaps by pooling their thoughts they could more closely pinpoint this forest area where I believe Kristi's remains will be found.

I am hoping when the killers are caught they will turn on the man who hired them, otherwise he might get away with this.
Keep in mind this is unprovable psychic information but I am hoping it can help bring this case to closure, because we cannot change what is done, we can only hope to solve the crime and bring the guilty to justice.

Well I hope those that do donate to the family have more luck than us Brits when we tried to help an abducted child. Our kind donations were spent on mortgage payments and holiday villas with swimming pools.Madeleine disappeared in very strange surroundings and has never been found. I hope Kristi is found soon for the family and most of all her son.

Psychic Information:
Earlier I read where several people see a link between the abduction of Tara Grinstead and Kristi.

The connection between these two cases is they are both young women from Georgia and their cases have been handled by GBI and I see the same name of FBI Investigators linked to both cases and to me that is the only connection between the same cases as I go through my psychic information I gathered on both cases.
I see Tara Ginstead buried not far from where she was abducted and I see her buried in a clearing area surrounded by tall trees, the ground is red clay as we know is in the area.

As I meditated and asked who did this I am on a two lane road with very tall pine trees on either side and I see a truck racing down the road then as the truck gets near me just like in a movie it slows down and through the window I see the mean face of Tara's boyfriend who has a farm nearby and as I understand his mother barred people rom searching the land.

I do not know that the burial spot of Tara is on that land all I know is there is a clearing with tall trees around the perimeter.

I have read another psychic on the web whom I do not know and who lives in another state and she basically sees Tara buried in a place like this.

I know the boyfriend supposedly has an alabi as he is said to have been riding around with a policeman friend but I believe they may be giving each other an alabi and I feel if I don't pursue this Tara's killer may never be brought to justice.

To CVT6702 - Regarding Tara - Can you contact the GBI and Texas Equusearch with that information please? On the GBI website, there is a place you can email info, or you can call them. For TES, please go to www.texasequusearch.org You can send the info on the contact page. I think Tim Miller would be interested in what you have to say. Thanks, V

I definitely believe there are people blessed with the ability to see things others can't see .... ignore the ridcule and carry on with your God given gift.

I forwarded all the information I had earlier and either they didn't think it relevant or it got lost somewhere along the way.
I just thought I would share what I had with other psychics posting here and we could compare notes and see how the things each one is getting fits with other bits and pieces that each gets to see if we could form a more perfect picture and kick it around ourselves and thenif anyone in these areas wants to check things out personally without invading anyones privacy or getting into trouble we could do it as sleuths and see what happens.
What I do is something like the girl on the show medium and as we know she sometimes gets into a bit of trouble with her dreams and visions.

I was just visiting the kristicornwell.com website and on the page titled "Requests from Kristi Cornwell's family" there is this paragraph:

QUOTE

We would like to have someone create and distribute buttons, keychains, bumper sitckers, mugs, mousepads, etc. with Kristi’s picture so that EVERYONE can be ACTIVELY looking for her.

END QUOTE

I can see how these items might be helpful in engaging the public in their search for Kristi, but if they start adding things like wristbands and t-shirts and start charging for these items, like the McCanns do with their online Madeleine store, then I will become very suspicious of their enterprise.

The site is very well organized and helpful for those who want provide assistance in the search for Ms. Cornwell. I hope everyone will check it out, if they haven't already.

calif. Sharon ...I had some of the same thoughts and wondered a bit about Kristi's son and who his friends might be and if he was living with Kristi at her moms..or while she went back to school during the school year..very little has been publicly released about her son or the sons father. I wonder if the son has a close relationship to his dad and see's him on a regular bases..were there any child support issues going on etc..child support can in some circumstances become a very heated topic especially with so many people out of work..again not pointing any fingers but I think ALL areas of her life need to be scrutinized..even areas that could seem remote or not connected..for who knowswthat the trigger was that could have set someone off to do this.

I read somewhere that the son lives with his father ... can't verify that as fact though.

Hi Jolie,I agree with you 100%..having said that once bitten twice shy..The Mccanns have made me suspicious of every abduction...I have just seen on another blog Joana Morais...another child has been found in France after the parents claimed she was abducted...She died in August and the father placed her in a freezer for a month..the father broke down under police questioning and confessed the abduction was a fake. I am not suggesting this is what happened to Kristi...at least I hope not..but those closest must be cleared of all suspicion...The Mccanns are still selling maddie T shirts with her photo aged 3 years...how can that possibly help when the child is now 6 and they have an aged photo?

Apologize gone off topic,I shall be keeping a close eye on the family and see if they decide to go this way. I still do not understand on the list the items they said they needed were curtains???? Why would they need curtains???

Ironside said:..... I still do not understand on the list the items they said they needed were curtains???? Why would they need curtains???

Seems like such a strange thing to request, but maybe they are outfitting a room or a office like a command center for their own personal investigation, maybe someone donated them a place to set up their center. I havent looked at the list recently but when I read it when it was first posted, the thought went thru my mind that her family must have very limited income for the some of the items they requested for donations were very small and inexpensive, so they must be operating this on a thin shoestring budget.
I WISH they would release something..anything..to the public..even if they just came on the air to announce they have not a shred of evidence except the phone call..the frustration for her family must be tremendous. My heart goes out to the family.

Now that I think about it, I havent read much of anything about the son since this started, only that she had a 15 year old son. A friend of hers mentioned the son once in a interview but I dont recall anything else about him. I am just a bit curious bout him and who he lived with.

to Ironside

I just thought perhaps they never had privacy curtains for their patio windows/door and now with the all the public interest and possible invasion of privacy, they may feel unsfe without them, but at this time are hard pressed to afford them at this time when they have so many other needs for their money and therefore thought a donor might help out with this. Anyone else have a thought on this?

You said "The McCanns are still selling maddie T shirts withher photoaged 3 ears...hwcan that possibly help when the child is now 6 and they have an aged photo?" Don't you mean "they say" she is now 6. I think both of us believe the girl died on the night of May 3, before she was reported missing. Based on forensic evidence, it is unlikely Madeleine ever lived to see her fourth birthday. And that's why it really doesn't matter to the McCanns what picture is on the T-shirt, because it won't make a difference in finding her at all, one way or the other, and they know it. It's all for appearance's sake.

I'm sorry for the typos in my last post. Unfortunately, sometimes my fingers are faster than what will show up/be accepted on the screen while I'm on this website. I'll try to do a better job of proofreading before posting.

Ask any police officer and they will say 99.9 percent of the time someone close to the person did...you do the math

Saul Relative, from Associated Content, who has written several articles on Kristi Cornwell's disappearance, has reported on another disappearance of a young woman this past Tuesday--Annie Marie Le. She is a doctoral student at Yale in New Haven, Connecticut. Her wedding was scheduled for this Sunday but has now been cancelled by the family.

The funny thing is, Relative is reporting in this new article that Kristi Cornwell was also a fiance. I know that Douglas Davis, Kristi's boyfriend, has stated that they were headed toward ma
