Did gold digger kill her elderly boyfriend?
Missing in Georgia: Kristi Cornwell
View Larger Map
Cornwell was on Jones Creek Road when she disappeared.
UPDATE: See Kristi Cornwell's Kidnapper May Have Struck Again in North Carolina.
Kristi Cornwell, a 38-year-old resident of Blairsville, GA has been missing since about half-past 9 p.m. Tuesday night. Kristi vanished under decidedly suspicious circumstances. The following is from Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) reporter Alexis Stevens:
Cornwell's boyfriend, Douglas Davis, apparently attends a Cobb County church, according to a daily e-mailed report from Macland Baptist Church. According to the church e-mail, Davis was talking to Cornwell when she was approached.
Kristi Cornwell/Facebook "She told him a car was stopping near her and then started screaming, 'Don't take me,'" according to the church bulletin.
The AJC also reports that Cornwell disappeared from a rural section of Jones Creek Road, but was just a short distance from New Union Baptist, her home church, when she vanished.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is involved in the search for Kristi Cornwell. Neither they nor the Union County Sheriff's Dept. are revealing very much about their investigation.
Many publications have spelled Cornwell's first name "Christy," but on her Classmates.com profile it is spelled as it is in this post. The same profile indicates Cornwell was born Kristi Cody and she graduated in 1989 from Union County High School. The AJC stated that Cornwell is a student in medical technology at Dalton State College.
Kristi Cornwell is a 5'5", 150-lb dark-haired white female. If you have information related to her whereabouts, call the Union County Sheriff at 706-439-6066.




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.
Posted 08/12/2009 at 09:32:44 PMGuess 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.
Posted 08/12/2009 at 09:38:22 PMLarkin I believe that that is a horrible thing to say... you don't know what happened and you should NOT be pointing fingers!
Posted 08/13/2009 at 09:58:19 AMJudge 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.
Posted 08/13/2009 at 11:11:24 AMThe 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.
Posted 08/13/2009 at 11:17:15 AMHere 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...
Posted 08/13/2009 at 02:00:11 PMHave 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.
Posted 08/13/2009 at 02:41:59 PMAccording to the AJC there is evidence at the scene that Kristi was kidnapped.
Posted 08/13/2009 at 03:05:37 PMMy prayers are with her, her family, and her boyfriend.
Kristi is a wonderful person and a friend.
Posted 08/13/2009 at 03:14:46 PMIt 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.

Posted 08/13/2009 at 03:55:06 PMThank 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.
Posted 08/13/2009 at 03:55:53 PMI 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.
Posted 08/13/2009 at 04:41:45 PMI 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.
Posted 08/13/2009 at 04:46:19 PMI 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.
Posted 08/13/2009 at 04:48:48 PMShe 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.
Posted 08/13/2009 at 05:55:29 PMThe 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?
Posted 08/13/2009 at 08:29:32 PMIt 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.
Posted 08/13/2009 at 09:13:21 PMKristi 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.
Posted 08/13/2009 at 09:23:48 PMPart 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
Posted 08/13/2009 at 11:17:29 PMThere 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.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 12:11:05 AMFor 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?
Posted 08/14/2009 at 12:01:32 PMPraying for her safe return, God be with her.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 12:07:23 PMIt'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.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 12:27:51 PMIt'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.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 01:24:40 PMI thank everyone for their prayers and positive thoughts. God bless you.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 01:29:09 PMSo, 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.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 01:55:37 PMI am shocked at the some of these comments.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 04:06:59 PMFirstly, 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.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 04:27:05 PMWho called 911? Her family or the boyfriend.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 06:14:38 PMFACT: 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. :(
Posted 08/14/2009 at 06:20:51 PMThis 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.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 06:30:18 PMWe 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.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 07:00:00 PMI 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?
Posted 08/14/2009 at 07:36:42 PMThank 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.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 08:49:42 PMI 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.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 08:57:40 PMGay, 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!
Posted 08/14/2009 at 09:33:03 PMCheryl, 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.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 09:36:09 PMAlso, JVM is replaying now, and Nancy will replay at 10 pm
Posted 08/14/2009 at 09:39:08 PMThank 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.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 10:17:31 PMI 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.
Posted 08/14/2009 at 10:22:55 PMTo 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.
Posted 08/15/2009 at 03:44:37 AMThe 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.
Posted 08/15/2009 at 08:31:29 AMI 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?
Posted 08/15/2009 at 09:38:44 AMLike 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.
Posted 08/15/2009 at 11:35:25 AMAs 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.
Posted 08/15/2009 at 11:54:29 AMThank 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.
Posted 08/15/2009 at 12:16:56 PMThank 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.
Posted 08/15/2009 at 12:34:40 PMI 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.
Posted 08/15/2009 at 12:37:44 PMWOW! 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!
Posted 08/15/2009 at 01:43:28 PMI am not suggesting that Ms. Cornwell is faking her abduction but rather the person who said she made this statement maybe lying.
Posted 08/15/2009 at 01:54:21 PMAlthough 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.
Posted 08/15/2009 at 02:18:40 PMkristi 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.......
Posted 08/15/2009 at 03:23:42 PMAgain, 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.
Posted 08/15/2009 at 03:29:11 PMI 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!
Posted 08/15/2009 at 03:36:35 PMM. 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.
Posted 08/15/2009 at 04:30:28 PMJohn 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?
Posted 08/15/2009 at 04:48:52 PMPlease 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.
Posted 08/15/2009 at 07:14:27 PMI 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.
Posted 08/15/2009 at 11:19:58 PMMy 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!!!!
Posted 08/16/2009 at 12:26:38 AMTHE 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.
Posted 08/16/2009 at 04:14:40 AMFor those who know Kristi personally do you know if there is a man in her life who has black hair and wears glasses?
Posted 08/16/2009 at 04:20:20 AMI 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.
Posted 08/16/2009 at 07:25:05 AMMy 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.
Posted 08/16/2009 at 07:44:56 AMA 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.
Posted 08/16/2009 at 09:26:49 AMSorry 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.
Posted 08/16/2009 at 10:13:00 AMI 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~
Posted 08/16/2009 at 10:39:51 AMWOW 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.
Posted 08/16/2009 at 11:07:00 AMWith 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.
Posted 08/16/2009 at 12:27:04 PMFirst & 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.
Posted 08/16/2009 at 01:04:39 PMI'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.
Posted 08/16/2009 at 05:43:44 PMThis 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.
Posted 08/16/2009 at 06:11:29 PMI 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
alive,and well.This world has become a very violet place
my family lives in a small town also.but it's getting to where you are fearful to go shopping by your self.
Jesus wants us to love one another, he died on the cross for us. our prayers are for the Kornfield Family.
With all our prayers,

Posted 08/16/2009 at 08:16:12 PMJust 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...

Posted 08/16/2009 at 09:48:28 PMThinking so much about Kristi, her son & family members.
Posted 08/16/2009 at 10:44:04 PMPraying 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.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 12:57:33 AMHi 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.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 07:45:28 AMThank You.....Deborah R.
I have Kristi so strong in prayer.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 08:13:56 AMGod, 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.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 08:55:06 AMAs 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.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 08:59:47 AMI 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!!!!!
Posted 08/17/2009 at 10:00:16 AMMy 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!
Posted 08/17/2009 at 10:01:42 AMGosh 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.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 10:53:55 AMKristi 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.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 11:21:23 AMI 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.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 11:40:48 AMThe 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.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 12:01:45 PMI 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
Posted 08/17/2009 at 02:25:44 PMI'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
Posted 08/17/2009 at 02:41:12 PMI 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.

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.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 03:38:51 PMTwo 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?
Posted 08/17/2009 at 04:00:00 PMWHAT INTEREST ME IS ... NO ONE SEEMS TO ADDRESS THE MATTER OF THE CELL PHONE.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 04:29:37 PMIT 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.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 04:39:34 PMPlenty 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.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 05:28:30 PMPerhaps 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....
Posted 08/17/2009 at 06:33:56 PMSpeak 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.
Posted 08/17/2009 at 09:05:43 PMno 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!
Posted 08/17/2009 at 09:58:40 PMThere 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?
Posted 08/17/2009 at 10:35:17 PMMy 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!
Posted 08/18/2009 at 12:03:36 AMI 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.
Posted 08/18/2009 at 01:54:57 AMThe boyfriend did soemthing to her and then ditched the cell and then called it so it showed his phone was connected to hers. Alibi??
Posted 08/18/2009 at 02:07:48 AMI 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.
Posted 08/18/2009 at 11:10:40 AMListen, 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.
Posted 08/18/2009 at 11:29:01 AMI am psychic, but don't advertise about it.
Posted 08/18/2009 at 12:39:26 PMI 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.
Posted 08/18/2009 at 12:50:17 PMAs 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.
Posted 08/18/2009 at 12:50:48 PMThank 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.
Posted 08/18/2009 at 05:02:35 PMAs 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.
Posted 08/18/2009 at 07:46:50 PMJust because the boyfriend's cell phone was used in Atlanta to phone Cornwell doesn't mean that it was him making the call.
Posted 08/18/2009 at 08:57:14 PMI 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!
Posted 08/18/2009 at 10:13:53 PMOn 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.
Posted 08/19/2009 at 02:16:24 AMHer being Christian doesn't increase my sympathy for her one iota, Theresa.
Posted 08/19/2009 at 08:22:34 AMMight 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.
Posted 08/19/2009 at 09:19:13 AMI'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.
Posted 08/19/2009 at 12:11:46 PMA 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.
Posted 08/19/2009 at 12:19:04 PMLord, 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.
Posted 08/19/2009 at 03:12:21 PMI 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.
Posted 08/19/2009 at 04:44:37 PMKristi 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.
Posted 08/19/2009 at 05:12:52 PMHow 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.
Posted 08/19/2009 at 06:37:23 PMI 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!
Posted 08/19/2009 at 08:10:58 PMTo 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.
Posted 08/19/2009 at 08:29:42 PMFirst 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.
Posted 08/19/2009 at 09:26:05 PMit 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 12:01:02 AMI 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 01:43:11 AMTammy I stand in agreement with your prayer. In Jesus Name.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 02:43:29 AMMany 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 05:47:44 AMI 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 07:52:24 AMI 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 09:10:30 AMJohn 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 09:10:55 AMThere 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~
Posted 08/20/2009 at 09:42:43 AMMy thoughts and prayers are with this family.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 10:45:09 AMI 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 11:14:44 AMhttp://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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 11:35:37 AMMy 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 11:38:47 AMI 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 12:06:04 PMHe 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...
Posted 08/20/2009 at 12:42:22 PMHow did anyone know where Kristi was at when she was abducted?
Posted 08/20/2009 at 12:44:42 PMWho takes a serious walk on a hard surface road in the heat with flip-flops on?
Posted 08/20/2009 at 12:50:14 PMMaria,
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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 01:10:28 PMAlso, I am very sorry to hear that Kristi is missing and I only pray that she returns safely to her loving family soon.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 01:12:58 PMA 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 03:49:31 PMseems 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 03:59:42 PMI'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!
Posted 08/20/2009 at 04:07:46 PMThere 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 05:01:26 PMI 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!
Posted 08/20/2009 at 06:17:09 PMMy thoughts and prayers are with Kristi and her Family. May God be with you. Blessings
Posted 08/20/2009 at 06:19:34 PMI had posted a comment over an hour ago and it has not been posted on this site ???????
Posted 08/20/2009 at 07:24:23 PMWith 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 09:21:25 PMB
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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 09:37:13 PMThis 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.
Posted 08/20/2009 at 11:17:08 PMIf 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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 12:45:21 AMPlease 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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 12:50:17 AMFor 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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 04:30:10 AMI 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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 06:58:13 AMOkay, 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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 09:19:49 AMAs 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).
Posted 08/21/2009 at 09:24:41 AMJust 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!
Posted 08/21/2009 at 09:33:58 AMI 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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 10:06:38 AMMaybe 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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 10:07:20 AMSPEAK 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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 10:30:53 AMNobody 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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 10:53:38 AMOn 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?
Posted 08/21/2009 at 11:57:14 AMsemi-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?
Posted 08/21/2009 at 02:56:39 PMLove 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?
Posted 08/21/2009 at 03:09:10 PMLois 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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 03:17:43 PMTo Lois DiFore, Kristi had been married and divorced 3 times and all her exes have been investigated and cleared.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 03:40:14 PMYes, Kristi has been married and divorced 3 times. All ex's have been cleared of suspicion.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 03:41:21 PM[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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 03:50:04 PMI 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."
Posted 08/21/2009 at 04:46:33 PMThe 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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 05:59:53 PMIt'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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 07:08:46 PMTheresa, I don't know what information was released other than her screams.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 08:10:05 PMSamantha, 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.
Posted 08/21/2009 at 09:26:58 PMI 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.
Posted 08/22/2009 at 12:03:15 AMTo Blairsville Girl:
I do not know how you conclude that the BF is "Very Self-serving and untrustworthy."
Posted 08/22/2009 at 12:14:00 AMAnd 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?
Posted 08/22/2009 at 02:20:11 AMCORNWELL 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.
Posted 08/22/2009 at 02:23:03 AMGemm, 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!
Posted 08/22/2009 at 08:45:33 AMThank 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.
Posted 08/22/2009 at 01:03:05 PMI have followed the news about Kristi and i am worried sick
Posted 08/22/2009 at 01:43:04 PMabout 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.
Posted 08/22/2009 at 01:59:16 PMLove 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.
Posted 08/22/2009 at 03:32:40 PMI 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.
Posted 08/22/2009 at 04:38:27 PMYou 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...
Posted 08/22/2009 at 07:32:03 PMSomehow 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.
Posted 08/23/2009 at 04:42:00 AMThis 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.

Posted 08/23/2009 at 06:57:33 AMPeople 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."
Posted 08/23/2009 at 09:29:16 AMIt'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?
Posted 08/23/2009 at 09:42:17 AMShe had GPS on her phone...they got the location from the pings as well as her boyfriends location. At least that is my understanding
Posted 08/23/2009 at 10:07:19 AMThanks 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.
Posted 08/23/2009 at 10:22:11 AMHer 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.
Posted 08/23/2009 at 10:38:14 AMI 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.
Posted 08/23/2009 at 11:05:26 AMI 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.
Posted 08/23/2009 at 11:12:02 AMThanks samantha...I did not know that.
Posted 08/23/2009 at 11:18:50 AMto 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
Posted 08/23/2009 at 02:22:14 PMThank you, Tanya. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. I will pray for her.
Posted 08/23/2009 at 06:29:14 PMYou 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
Posted 08/23/2009 at 07:39:05 PMpray 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?
Posted 08/23/2009 at 10:43:41 PMNo news yet. I'm sure it won't be long though.
Posted 08/24/2009 at 12:31:25 AMthey will search again tommorow,don't find anything today.
Posted 08/24/2009 at 01:22:07 AMI 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.
Posted 08/24/2009 at 01:24:45 AMM. 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.

Posted 08/24/2009 at 08:34:22 AMIf 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.
Posted 08/24/2009 at 11:04:08 AMThere 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....
Posted 08/24/2009 at 02:30:31 PMI 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...
Posted 08/24/2009 at 04:22:50 PMSo 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.
Posted 08/24/2009 at 05:52:05 PMI 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.
Posted 08/24/2009 at 08:06:45 PMThank you, Joan! Yes, there were negative leads, but I know she will be found soon.
Posted 08/24/2009 at 08:11:24 PMThanks, AT! I know everyone is doing everything they can to solve this case.
Posted 08/24/2009 at 08:31:27 PMKarolyn, thank you for all your prayers! God bless you!
THIS IS SO SAD, AND FOR ALL OF YOU THAT JUDGED HER POOR B/F.
Posted 08/24/2009 at 08:58:45 PMMY 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.
Posted 08/24/2009 at 09:02:47 PMI 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..
Posted 08/24/2009 at 10:10:42 PMSatellite 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.
Posted 08/25/2009 at 06:50:02 AMI 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.
Posted 08/25/2009 at 08:54:02 AMI 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.
Posted 08/25/2009 at 09:35:30 AMHi 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.?
Posted 08/25/2009 at 10:05:40 AMThank 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!
Posted 08/25/2009 at 10:28:24 AMI 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.
Posted 08/25/2009 at 10:47:21 AMMy 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.
Posted 08/25/2009 at 12:50:45 PMHi 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.
Posted 08/25/2009 at 01:01:54 PMLibby, 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.
Posted 08/25/2009 at 01:25:09 PMThis 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
Posted 08/25/2009 at 01:30:02 PMThis 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.
Posted 08/25/2009 at 02:58:20 PMI 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.
Posted 08/25/2009 at 03:02:09 PMhttp://newsfeedresearcher.com/data/articles_e35/cornwell-search-kristi.html
Some more information on Kristi...
Posted 08/25/2009 at 03:41:58 PMMr. 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.

D. Davis on Nancy Grace's show ....
Posted 08/25/2009 at 05:32:14 PMI 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
Posted 08/25/2009 at 07:34:01 PMA 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.
Posted 08/25/2009 at 10:15:45 PMI 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!
Posted 08/26/2009 at 02:24:14 AMIronside 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.
Posted 08/26/2009 at 11:04:53 AMGemm 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?
Posted 08/26/2009 at 11:10:03 AMAlso, 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!
Posted 08/26/2009 at 11:30:04 AMI have written several posts that have not been posted ?????
Posted 08/26/2009 at 11:54:28 AMRe: 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.
Posted 08/26/2009 at 12:14:15 PMSamantha, 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.
Posted 08/26/2009 at 01:16:16 PMSorry, Samantha. We're having a few technical problems with the site that we hope to have ironed out today.
Posted 08/26/2009 at 01:22:09 PMHi 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.
Posted 08/26/2009 at 04:39:07 PMwomen 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
Posted 08/26/2009 at 06:49:29 PMthis 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.
Posted 08/26/2009 at 07:43:55 PMSamantha, 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.
Posted 08/26/2009 at 11:44:07 PMI 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
Posted 08/26/2009 at 11:55:47 PMNotice what kristi's father said in this interview. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=8371075
Posted 08/27/2009 at 01:01:19 AMWhat 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.
Posted 08/27/2009 at 01:14:44 AMTo 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
Posted 08/27/2009 at 02:30:40 AMHello, 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????
Posted 08/27/2009 at 08:56:52 AMsorry, I meant Wed nite.
Posted 08/27/2009 at 09:19:38 AMI 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.
Posted 08/27/2009 at 10:09:06 AMJust 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.
Posted 08/27/2009 at 12:20:40 PMThank you Samantha for your comment above.
Posted 08/27/2009 at 01:05:47 PMI 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?
Posted 08/27/2009 at 01:14:26 PMCan'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.
Posted 08/27/2009 at 01:26:04 PMHi 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?
Posted 08/27/2009 at 02:52:06 PMI 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.
Posted 08/27/2009 at 03:35:01 PMMotive? 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.
Posted 08/27/2009 at 06:25:34 PMSamantha, 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.
Posted 08/27/2009 at 07:07:00 PMSamantha, 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.
Posted 08/27/2009 at 07:16:17 PMJaden, 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.....
Posted 08/27/2009 at 08:04:55 PMI 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.
Posted 08/27/2009 at 10:57:39 PMAnother 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.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 02:32:39 AMSamantha 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.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 04:37:11 AMI 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.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 07:14:15 AMI 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.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 10:18:18 AMSigh, 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.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 10:40:08 AMI'd be taking a closer look at the 3 exes, many possibilities for motive there.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 10:44:34 AMSCM, 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.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 11:56:27 AMi believe that there were 2 men who took kristi.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 02:23:09 PMshe 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?
Posted 08/28/2009 at 03:39:52 PMThe whole thing about the cell phone is if she was on the phone at the time of the attack, she would have dropped it.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 03:52:14 PMSome 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.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 04:40:30 PMIf 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.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 06:35:11 PMOwltown is in Union County.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 06:36:29 PMInsession 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.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 06:40:57 PMHow 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.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 07:05:22 PMkristi 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
Posted 08/28/2009 at 07:13:41 PMi meant to say cell phone
Posted 08/28/2009 at 07:15:57 PMand an earpiece
Posted 08/28/2009 at 07:16:52 PMMy 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.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 08:22:08 PMSomething 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.
Posted 08/28/2009 at 11:14:16 PMI 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!
Posted 08/28/2009 at 11:17:51 PMSamantha 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?
Posted 08/29/2009 at 04:11:01 AMOK' 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...
Posted 08/29/2009 at 04:39:57 AMI 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..
Posted 08/29/2009 at 04:43:37 AMSamantha 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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 05:54:30 AMOne 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...
Posted 08/29/2009 at 06:17:26 AMShe 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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 10:35:37 AMCredible witnesses/alibis in Atlanta questioned by LE have confirmed that D. Davis WAS in Atlanta ... what more proof do you need?
Posted 08/29/2009 at 10:39:35 AMSamantha, 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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 10:49:55 AMYou 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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 10:53:23 AMA 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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 10:58:57 AMThank 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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 11:06:10 AMIt 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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 11:23:16 AMThat'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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 12:08:07 PMDitto what Mitzi just posted.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 12:29:23 PMDoes 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.

"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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 02:46:34 PMThis 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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 02:57:33 PMSteve,
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.

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.

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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 05:00:32 PMI am so worried for Kristi, Douglas is a very FAKE, EVIL, man that I know on a personal level..

Sounds like you hold a grudge or a vendetta against Mr. Davis ..... just "how" do you know him on a "personal" level?
Posted 08/29/2009 at 06:07:55 PMeveryone 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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 06:29:28 PMthere 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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 06:44:23 PMAs written by Samantha, "Just what information that I've posted is untrue ???

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.
Posted 08/29/2009 at 07:50:10 PMWorried, without saying how you know him, can you tell more about how he is fake and evil?
Posted 08/29/2009 at 11:39:07 PMRespectfully, 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.

He hasn't even been listed as a POI, much less a suspect .... don't know who Drew Peterson is or his traveling habits.
Posted 08/30/2009 at 11:04:57 AMA 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.
Posted 08/30/2009 at 11:25:42 AMI also found the Brothers comments about DD very strange...(or maybe should I say lack of comments?)

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?

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.
Posted 08/30/2009 at 12:35:54 PMBankhead went on to say in that same article:
Posted 08/30/2009 at 12:40:58 PM"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.
Posted 08/30/2009 at 01:01:16 PMI 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.
Posted 08/30/2009 at 01:12:25 PMSamantha -
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 !
Posted 08/30/2009 at 01:23:10 PMAnd 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.

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.
Posted 08/30/2009 at 01:31:39 PMOMG 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...

oh so this poster has been banned from insession? I can see why!!!
Posted 08/30/2009 at 01:58:43 PMAlso 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?

You're like the skillet calling the kettle black .... you have ridiculed every post that I have ever made defending D.

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?

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?.
Posted 08/30/2009 at 03:41:50 PMSamantha! 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.

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.

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.
Posted 08/30/2009 at 06:50:07 PMThis 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.
Posted 08/30/2009 at 07:11:42 PM(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.
Posted 08/30/2009 at 08:20:24 PMWetraveler, 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.

now if we can talk about the case...
Posted 08/30/2009 at 10:37:59 PMAnyone 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.
Posted 08/30/2009 at 11:44:05 PMTwo 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.

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

No, the leaves haven't started turning yet here, but there could be leaves from past years still on the ground.
Posted 08/31/2009 at 10:17:04 AMSorry, 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.
Posted 08/31/2009 at 12:30:20 PMApparently 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.
Posted 08/31/2009 at 12:42:27 PMPlease 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.
Posted 08/31/2009 at 02:16:41 PMI 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...
Posted 08/31/2009 at 02:22:42 PMTeresa,
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.
Posted 08/31/2009 at 03:18:57 PMWhew. 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.
Posted 08/31/2009 at 03:54:45 PMI 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".
Posted 08/31/2009 at 06:08:01 PMIn response to why the police are so tight lipped..
Posted 08/31/2009 at 06:25:10 PMI 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.
Posted 08/31/2009 at 06:46:22 PMI 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.

Posted 08/31/2009 at 07:02:49 PMDan, 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
Posted 08/31/2009 at 07:07:49 PMI 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.
Posted 08/31/2009 at 10:18:19 PMWas Kristi walking a dog? Small dog? I think there are three people involoved. 1 man and two women. African American.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 01:40:55 AMJust 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 09:48:55 AMLE 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 09:54:16 AMSince 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 11:29:45 AMmore than 1 abductor? yikes! I hadn't heard that before.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 02:20:39 PMSamantha 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 02:33:44 PMThere 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 02:59:58 PMBlairsville 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 03:20:25 PMHi 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.

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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 04:30:19 PMSamantha, 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 05:13:12 PMLook, 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 05:26:30 PMYou'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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 05:38:54 PMSo, 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 06:14:11 PMYou 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 06:18:33 PMAfter 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 06:29:10 PMI 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 06:44:26 PMoh 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 08:37:07 PMI 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 09:07:02 PMWebtraveler, 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.

Posted 09/01/2009 at 09:30:58 PMWow, 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.
Posted 09/01/2009 at 10:06:52 PMSomething 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!!!
Posted 09/02/2009 at 01:45:18 AMI 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.
Posted 09/02/2009 at 06:28:44 AMWas 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...
Posted 09/02/2009 at 07:37:23 AMbbmcrae - 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?
Posted 09/02/2009 at 09:40:24 AMPyschics 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...
Posted 09/02/2009 at 10:53:27 AMWebtraveler, 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.
Posted 09/02/2009 at 12:35:21 PMI 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.
Posted 09/02/2009 at 12:43:55 PMI 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.

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?
Posted 09/02/2009 at 12:56:00 PMDoes 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.

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.

Please reread Brenda's post:
Brenda said:

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.
Posted 09/02/2009 at 01:50:38 PMGood 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.

Posted 09/02/2009 at 03:39:33 PMI 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.

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".
Posted 09/02/2009 at 03:46:35 PMI 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.

Never have I said anything about this Mr. Davis.

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.
Posted 09/02/2009 at 05:46:19 PMthis 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?
Posted 09/02/2009 at 06:00:49 PMGalooker do you live near DD? Where did you hear it from?
Posted 09/02/2009 at 06:10:07 PMI'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.
Posted 09/02/2009 at 06:18:54 PMIt 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!

(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.
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.
Posted 09/02/2009 at 08:32:33 PMSex 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.
Posted 09/02/2009 at 10:27:06 PMI 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.
Posted 09/03/2009 at 01:12:47 AMread 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.
Posted 09/03/2009 at 01:24:10 AMHave 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....

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.

"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"
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.
Posted 09/03/2009 at 09:08:08 AMI 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.
Posted 09/03/2009 at 09:40:15 AMHi 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.
Posted 09/03/2009 at 11:52:05 AMSomeone 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.
Posted 09/03/2009 at 11:53:37 AMTeresa, 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.
Posted 09/03/2009 at 01:43:15 PMWell done Teresa, hope is everything.
Posted 09/03/2009 at 02:38:01 PMI 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.
Posted 09/03/2009 at 03:28:51 PMMy 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.

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.
Posted 09/04/2009 at 04:10:42 AMexcuse 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?
Posted 09/04/2009 at 09:05:33 AMA 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.
Posted 09/04/2009 at 12:32:18 PMAlso, 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?
Posted 09/04/2009 at 02:55:37 PMHi 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.
Posted 09/04/2009 at 05:43:43 PMI 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.
Posted 09/04/2009 at 06:19:12 PMI 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.
Posted 09/04/2009 at 06:35:29 PMI 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,

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.
Posted 09/04/2009 at 11:45:28 PMI 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.?
Posted 09/05/2009 at 05:12:29 AMPhysical 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.
Posted 09/05/2009 at 10:37:41 AMMountain 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.
Posted 09/05/2009 at 12:45:56 PMAlso, 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.
Posted 09/05/2009 at 12:49:41 PMmountain 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.
Posted 09/05/2009 at 02:10:45 PMIn 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.
Posted 09/05/2009 at 02:17:52 PMwouldn't you think that anyone traveling on that road, at that time has come forward?
Posted 09/05/2009 at 02:56:29 PMespecially 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.
Posted 09/05/2009 at 09:15:10 PMOut 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?
Posted 09/06/2009 at 01:11:15 PMHello 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.
Posted 09/06/2009 at 01:45:53 PMDan, 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.
Posted 09/06/2009 at 02:15:01 PMTeresa 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.
Posted 09/06/2009 at 04:07:50 PMThe 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.

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
Posted 09/07/2009 at 12:01:23 PMFrom 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.
Posted 09/07/2009 at 04:39:38 PMIs 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. ???
Posted 09/07/2009 at 11:41:37 PMWe 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.

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.
Posted 09/08/2009 at 04:17:55 PMActually the attempted kidnap of the jogger in Murphy was July 26th

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.
Posted 09/08/2009 at 10:42:38 PMHas anyone heard that the Cornwell's are hiring private investigators to begin investigating the case?

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.

Interesting concept.
Posted 09/09/2009 at 02:30:32 PMThere 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?

Posted 09/09/2009 at 04:35:09 PMGuess 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.

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 ????
Posted 09/09/2009 at 05:13:05 PMAt 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.....
Posted 09/09/2009 at 05:17:36 PMDoug 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.
Posted 09/09/2009 at 05:37:43 PMDarling 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::
Posted 09/09/2009 at 06:12:16 PMGet 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.
Posted 09/09/2009 at 06:39:05 PMSamantha are you the same gal from facebook that used to post on a tv show blog? Your writing is similar to hers.
Posted 09/09/2009 at 07:26:22 PMSamantha, 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.
Posted 09/09/2009 at 07:36:22 PMSamantha,
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.
Posted 09/09/2009 at 07:51:55 PMHmmmmm.
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.

Posted 09/09/2009 at 09:00:30 PMI 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?
Posted 09/09/2009 at 09:26:31 PMTeresa, 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.

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!
Posted 09/09/2009 at 09:50:10 PMSorry 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....

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 ;)

Posted 09/09/2009 at 10:56:58 PMTh 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.

Posted 09/09/2009 at 11:29:36 PMTeresa,
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.
Posted 09/10/2009 at 12:16:10 AMYou 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.

Posted 09/10/2009 at 01:00:02 AMAs 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.

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.
Posted 09/10/2009 at 08:33:40 AMHi 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).
Posted 09/10/2009 at 10:26:02 AMFor 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.
Posted 09/10/2009 at 11:10:33 AMI 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.
Posted 09/10/2009 at 11:48:04 AMDoes 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.
Posted 09/10/2009 at 12:13:11 PMI 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?
Posted 09/10/2009 at 01:16:12 PMEeeps!!!
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.
Below are two links in regards to what I have just said.

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.
Posted 09/10/2009 at 03:24:56 PM0ld 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.
Posted 09/10/2009 at 03:43:15 PMI 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).
Posted 09/10/2009 at 04:00:45 PMHmmm...
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.
Posted 09/10/2009 at 04:45:37 PMThe 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!!!
Posted 09/10/2009 at 04:54:42 PMFrom 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.

Posted 09/10/2009 at 05:28:07 PMDid 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.
Posted 09/10/2009 at 05:41:59 PMTeresa,
Posted 09/10/2009 at 05:44:40 PMI 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.
Posted 09/10/2009 at 05:54:49 PMSamantha,
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.

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.
Posted 09/10/2009 at 10:04:07 PMTo 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 !
Posted 09/10/2009 at 10:08:48 PMOr start an entire new thread .... thanks?
Posted 09/10/2009 at 10:11:49 PMI 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.
Posted 09/10/2009 at 11:35:40 PMI 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.
Posted 09/11/2009 at 04:37:49 AMPsychic 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.
Posted 09/11/2009 at 04:56:39 AMKeep 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.
Posted 09/11/2009 at 05:43:10 AMPsychic 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.
Posted 09/11/2009 at 06:18:13 AMTo 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

Posted 09/11/2009 at 10:01:34 AMI forwarded all the information I had earlier and either they didn't think it relevant or it got lost somewhere along the way.
Posted 09/11/2009 at 10:51:23 AMI 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.
Posted 09/11/2009 at 11:13:45 AMcalif. 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.
Posted 09/11/2009 at 02:06:18 PMHi 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???
Posted 09/11/2009 at 03:11:43 PMIronside 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.
Posted 09/11/2009 at 04:19:48 PMI 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.

Posted 09/11/2009 at 04:23:47 PMNow 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.

Posted 09/11/2009 at 08:38:56 PMSaul 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 marriage one day, but never read that they were officially engaged. Is Relative taking liberties and reaching by claiming that Corwell was a fiance?
Again, Saul Relative wonders if this is similar to Jennifer Wilbanks' disappearance, the runaway bride who got cold feet just before her wedding in April 2005.
Here's his article:
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2164167/missing_yale_student_annie_marie_le.html
and here's today's article from People Magazine:
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20303934,00.html
Posted 09/11/2009 at 08:46:40 PMI do not believe Kristi Cornwell nor Annie Marie Le have voluntarily dissapeared. Please remember just how quickly Jennifers Wilbanks was found. Her efforts to "disguise" herself were worthless in this day and age of community that will not tolerate "slave trade", abuse to negate, etc.
I am no "psychic" but have had incredibly strong intuition about Kristi Cornwell, her case has gripped me like few things before in my life. I have "dreams" if you will, something stronger, crisper, more clear than any dream I have ever had about her specifically. The other young woman, I don't know. I just think something would have been discovered and released by now if either were a fake. A person unaccustomed to "deception" is frankly not good at it. America refuses to stand by and see their women and children abducted and taken from society. Too many people are watching, even for disguised truths. Some people are equiped with gifts to easily identify the deception.
I did specifically see Kristi soon after her dissapearance, "in a dream" very frightened but not bound, in an "abandoned" farmhouse but "others" were there, there were out buildings, like barns, one attached to the house a garage w/tools for working on vehicles. I specifically sensed this "abode" had been abandoned, but these people had grown up there as children, possibly foster children. They held some rediculous or jealous grudge against Kristi. However, she was in the kitchen, but there was no electricity or communication w/the outside world. There was a peice of furniture that she went to in hopes of "finding" something to help her. It was like a pie safe or chifferobe w/various cabinets, brown or caramel color, old. There was an old, orangish at one time Volkswagon Van w/homemade curtains in it. All around the place was chipped up wood like mulch and/or decaying leaves. The pungent smell of this and the old place is overwhelming. There was various peices of large equipment there like a backhoe and a grader. I just have to reiterate this as it stays with me constantly. I cannot shake this, it's very strong. I am no psychic but this is incredibly prominent in my mind every day!
I continue to pray for Kristi and her family. I pray for her safe return home to her family.
Love,
Dawn
Have a great weekend!
Posted 09/11/2009 at 10:14:56 PMI was searching the area by google map and Jones Creek Terrace seems to dead end with a deserted looking house on the left before it dead ends. There is a 1000 on the map maybe it means elevation. Has anyone searched this area?? Is the house deserted??
Posted 09/12/2009 at 12:25:59 AMHi Jolie, yes of course thats what I meant little maddie has been dead since the 3rd May, Thanks for your thoughts on Kristi 'although I do fear the worst...it has been too long...unless she is bound and gagged somewhere by a jealous lover...
Posted 09/12/2009 at 04:40:46 AMHello
Posted 09/12/2009 at 09:03:42 AMAll of you phycis and dreamers should know that there is a "major" address and some street name changes going on in Blairsville. They are going to a "911" address changes and in the process they are changing the names of some streets, eliminating the names of some streets and dropping N,E,S and W from some streets. ie: mine is going from a 4 digit address with a direction, to a 3 digit address with no direction. 4444 Street Name S will be 333 Street Name. So, just a little more confusion to the situation.

This could very well be true as there are many old vacant homeplaces around this area from bygone days.
Posted 09/12/2009 at 12:15:49 PMEven though it would be devastating for families and friends to discover the deception involved in staging an abduction, I would much prefer to find out that these women who disappeared were alive and well and just couldn't cope with something in their lives which caused them to flee than to think of them in the hands of captors and hurt and/or killed.
Posted 09/12/2009 at 01:56:05 PMPsychic Info.
The above post about many old abandoned homesteads in the area caught my attention because as I said before I believe Kristi was held on a farm and I saw an old antique type truck behind the barn in one vision then later I saw the truck burned.
I also wanted to mention the other psychics who had numbers which were routes because yesterday as I reviewed some of their information and the discussion on it I see that Kristi is predicted to be found in this general area and I realize this covers quite a bit of land and I am just going from the atlas map.
I see it between route 129 and Helen and as I said this no doubt covers quite a bit of area of forests.
Yesterday when I saw this in a vision I see a long white piece of wedding dress and it unfurls from the heavens then someone takes a right hand and drives a white tent stake into the ground pinning the satin to the ground.
At this time I don't know who that Involves but I intend to try to meditate further on this and see if I can get someones name more concretely linked to that.
Posted 09/12/2009 at 02:01:07 PMAfter writing the last post I left the computer and reviewed the evenings psychic information and reread it and I see that one of the guides used my life to explain what was going on in Kristi's life.
Since Kristi had three men in her life and I had three men in my life he used my life to take me through three men much like Kristi's three husbands then we come to her boyfriend and as I wrote earlier my psychic information said a man was trying to prevent Kristi from doing something he didn't want her to do and I have figured out what that is as far as my psychic information explains it Kristi wanted to Marry DD and she wanted to do a full wedding with white and evidently he didn't want her to continue to make plans along those lines because of the three previous marriages and so I guess some of it had to do with his image as a church man and the way it might be perceived.
His website says he is a gospel singer of some renown and he may have had to think of his public image.
The other day as I gathered Psychic Information on this case I saw Kristi walking out of a wooded area and in the vision she appeared with the short hair the way she looks in the picture on this website, and in the vision she was wearing a white blouse and a black and white houndstooth patterned sweater vest and a long silver chain necklace.
Perhaps someone close to Kristi knows whether she had an outfit like this that she was particularly found of?
One of the things spirits do when they appear to psychics is to wear favorite clothes that their loved ones will recognize so they will know they are communicating with those back on earth.
Quite often as I meditate on missing and murdered people I will find myself singing a song that goes something like this:
"From Beyond The Veil Of Death I Point My Finger at the one who did this to me"
Now if he felt this way why didn't he simply walk away from the situation?

Posted 09/12/2009 at 02:01:07 PM

My first question is:
How close to home, mileage wise, do you feel she will be found? According to her website, "The area within a 5 mile radius of the site of the abduction near New Union Baptist Church on Jones Creek Road in Blairsville, Georgia has been searched extensively by investigators and other volunteer pilots."
This would be valuable information to give to LE. The forested areas are quite extensive and very mountainous.
My second question is:
When you said hilly in the first quote, just how hilly are you suggesting...hilly or mountains?
This, too would be valuable information for LE.
Posted 09/12/2009 at 11:22:13 PMI am still concerned with the area I mentioned on the map.If anyone can verify any info about the house or structure I saw I would feel better about it. I backtracked from Jones Creek Terrace, and the roads go right back to where Kristi was taken and her cell phone found. It seems the road dead ends at this part of Jones Creek Terrace and the structure is on the left in a clearing back in the woods. Is it possible Kristie is with child?? Did she see a doctor or clinic recently?
Posted 09/12/2009 at 11:32:43 PMTo Joan,
According to her website, "The area within a 5 mile radius of the site of the abduction near New Union Baptist Church on Jones Creek Road in Blairsville, Georgia has been searched extensively by investigators and other volunteer pilots." This structure falls within the 5 mile radius.
The cell phone was found about 3.5 miles from the scene of the abduction, on 325.
Go back to your map, look at Jones Creek Road N., follow it to Jones Creek Lane, I believe, which intersects with Blue Ridge Hwy. Cross Blue Ridge Hwy onto 325 and follow 325 ACROSS 515, not quite 1 mile further down 325 is where the cell was found.
I will pass your concern on to local LE, There is a deputy that lives not to far from me.

Posted 09/13/2009 at 09:43:43 AMDeer hunting season opened yesterday, Sept, 12, here in Blairsville.
Posted 09/13/2009 at 10:38:39 AMAlso, I am approx. 3 miles from where Kristi disappeared and I have been hearing coyotes every night for about the last week. Just passing out infor that may help anyone "read" and find Kristi.
Posted 09/13/2009 at 10:41:21 AMThanks for posting about deer season starting because I heard the words Hunters will find her.
Posted 09/13/2009 at 01:48:31 PMNow the question is how long does Deer Season run, because I and someone else on hear heard when the leaves change and I also saw a jingle bell which to me of course means later in the season.
Deer Season--
Posted 09/13/2009 at 03:12:40 PMArchery, Either Sex: September 12 - October 9
Primitive Weapons, Either Sex: October 10-16
Firearms: October 17 - January 1
Information found at www.gohuntgeorgia.com the Dept of Natural Resources web site.
I don't know how long deer season runs in Georgia..but in Michigan it starts up next week with a early firearms doe season for a week..then goes into bow season...then mid November back into firearms season..and when that is finished it goes into black powder season..which I think runs into mid december or so. So I imagine Georgia is similar with extended seasons for bow etc..there will be people traipsing around in the woods for several weeks or longer.
Posted 09/13/2009 at 03:24:11 PMooops sorry I see someone found and posted Georgia hunting season while I was trying to post the michigan info...
Posted 09/13/2009 at 03:25:52 PMMy sentiments exactly .... that someone connected to her past career abducted her, however I doubt GBI has the funds necessary to go back that far in the investigation .... that's why a good PI needs to get on board. I do believe something negative happened in 2002 or before that triggered her need to change careers and I do believe people in her family (or one of her past husbands) knows about that incident or incidents.
She would have to explain to someone why she's giving up a successful career and starting all over in another ... the LE and the family know far more than is being released to the public.
Perhaps the perp(s) just got out of prison and that's why it took so long for her premeditated abduction to take place.
Posted 09/13/2009 at 03:27:16 PMI suspect this was two people who knew her, and it was something to do with identity theft, or attaining some money, or something to do with the victim and papers, and that things changed after the kidnap as the male revealed to his partner that his motives were more sinister.
I am not a psychic but in my mind's eye I see an older gray house, with blue trim, set away from streets, near an area with pine trees. the ground is covered with a kind of mulch, and there is a propane tank outside. I live in Texas... we don't have pine trees or the climate of the area. Does this make sense?
I suspect a white man and woman, she is younger. The man knew the victim, the woman went along. White big truck. Duct tape and white shiny rope. The kidnap turned from one thing to another in the mind of the woman and now she regrets what has happened. I think the woman is small, thin, wears dirty jeans and a gray hoodie, and is timid and soft spoken.
The victim is buried in the area between the house and the forested area. She can see the pine trees, a forest of them behind the house, and the back of the house that includes an antenna dish and woodpile. This is what I dream... it could be nothing, it could be something, but it seems real to me.
I hope the police are able to bring a conclusion to this chilling and horrible situation. Please forgive if my comments upset anyone. I never knew what is a true perception and what is just a really bad dream that seems too real. Hoping for hope, Christy in Texas
Posted 09/13/2009 at 03:48:08 PMSamantha said, "I do believe something negative happened in 2002 or before that triggered her need to change careers."
It's a rhetorical question I don't expect anyone to answer, but why did Kristi decide to switch career gears? Did she resign from the parole/probation position because it was too stressful, the pay wasn't what high enough, she was overlooked for a promotion or salary increase, she decided on a different career path and quit to work part-time and attend school, she was bored, etc.? Was she fired? Was she laid-off? While it's possible the probable abduction could have been related to her past profession, I believe since she left that career 7 years ago and felt comfortable being out alone walking that she didn't feel endangered. If she had, I would think she would have been keeping track of suspicious paroled criminals and felons due for release and would have altered her activities to remain safe.
Now, whether that means the abduction was by a stranger, someone she knows, or was staged, I can't even offer an opinion. There's too many holes and unverified information.
Posted 09/13/2009 at 05:18:27 PMSomeone had posted here previously about the Korean girl that was also missing, the bride-to- be from Connecticut, thinking there may have been a parallel or connection to Kristi ...but the little Korean gal has been found... dead and stuffed between two walls in the same school medical building she was last seen in.
Posted 09/13/2009 at 11:42:04 PMWhat is this an advert site for Phil Jordan? A woman is missing, I have no belief whatsover in Psychics and all the gobbeldy gook that goes with it...Anyone who truly had such a gift would not charge...75 dollars, is a lot of money to some people. Not only that if you cannot make it he will do you this service over the phone.
I believe Susan from Blairsville 'who has now told us the hunting season has started , Kristi will be found. No ,I have no crystal ball it makes sense they will be hunting in areas deep in woodland with dogs trained to hunt. There, a prediction and I did not charge one dollar.
Posted 09/14/2009 at 06:25:14 AMI agree pretty much with Ironside...the psychic advertisement is a bit much, just post the guys name and how to contact him, not a commercial please. Some people believe, some dont, which is their business, but a full advertisement is a bit much..
I suspect like Ironside it is possible, if Kristi was left close by in the woods that she will be found during the hunting season also, but I also feel that an abductor may travel as far away as they can go quickly and without detection, so as not to be found out. So Kristi could be in another state or hundreds of miles away, making it much more difficult to find her. I also suspect if she is found in close vicinity ( within 30 miles or so) of where she lived or was abducted then it was done by someone familiar with the area and they knew exactly where they were going to take her)
Based on the one bit of info I read about the phone conversation with D. I believe in a interview he used the term "they" referring to the abduction, indicating more than one person involved. One person can hold a secret for ever, but the more people involved the more chances of a someone running their mouth or having feelings of remorse, shame or guilt in their participation. A lot of crimes are not solved so much by initial police investigation leading to the perp..but because a tip was phoned in and the police were able to focus on the tip. A tip certainly narrows the field for the investigation and I think that is what may happen here, if there were indeed more than one person involved...at least I hope so.

"Ann said:

I read somewhere that she decided to change careers due to her son and the dangers involved. There's got to be more to this than is being said. You don't just up and change a career that you have studied for many years and worked in for many years.
I believe something bad happened for her to do this, and, I believe, the perp(s) in her abduction were involved in that something bad ... her work history in that industry needs to be gone over with a fine tooth comb, especialy the last couple years.
I am totally convinced that this crime has something to do with the above.
Posted 09/14/2009 at 10:26:34 AMAlso, her last husband (last name Cody) that she was married to so briefly works in the prison system .... I would certainly give him another look if I was LE ... something had to have happened for that marriage to have been so brief .... much is not being told.

It's very sad news about Annie Maria Le. Until Kristi or her remains are found, there's still hope for her, though.
Posted 09/14/2009 at 11:01:16 AMThere is something else that puzzles me with this case, bear with me as I do not know your laws. I am also following closely the Haleigh Cummings case on In.Sessions.
Posted 09/14/2009 at 02:35:50 PMThe call Misty made was made public immediately. My question is 'why has the call made to the police not been announced about the abduction of Kristi.? Or maybe I can answer my own question is it because Kristis mother made the call and not Davis.
Ironside said:

--------
I believe from what I have read in the news releases..that he tried to call 911, but 911 on cell phones rings into the police dept in the are you are in...so in frustration he called her mom to call 911 to get the local police dept faster...this info may or may not be correct.
I can actually understand him calling her mom, for I believe Kristi was staying with her mom, so Kristi would have been very close to her moms house when she was abducted..making sense that maybe her mom could have done something a lot quicker than him being 2 hours away.
But why they are not releasing the 911 call, I don't know..what is the harm in releasing it.
As for why they don't release the info supplied on the phone conversation with D. and kristi , I have to assume it is because she may have known the people in the car, and called them by first name...that is something I have been leaning towards. But with only a first name to go on..it could be difficult to build a case...
The other scenario for me is..that this didn't happen in the time frame we have been led to believe. What if she were abducted or missing much much earlier in the day..I still have not seen any statements of when the last time anyone other than D, knew for sure she was alive and well...so if that is a possibility...then ...well..then it changes everything.
Of course it is possible I missed an article or press release about a friend or neighbor or family member talking or seeing Kristi just prior to the walk... but from what I have read, the investigation is based on the statements made by D.
Posted 09/14/2009 at 03:21:53 PMThanks Joan for the info,I read somewhere that Kristi was seen walking with a male, do you know anything about this or is it just a forum myth.
Posted 09/14/2009 at 04:28:44 PMHello again Ironside!
Posted 09/14/2009 at 05:00:27 PMThe difference between the Haleigh Cummings 911 call and this situation is something Florida has called the Sunshine Law.
Here in Georgia, I guess it is up to the LE in charge to decide if it should be public or not. In Florida, most anything will be released to the public fairly quickly. It has to do with a citizens right to information.

to the best of my knowledge it is not substantiated about seeing her walking with a man..I "think" someone had posted it but have never seen it as a news release but of course I certainly could have missed some bits of info here and there..
if there is any truth to her being seen walking with a man, I believe I read that D. had been for a visit prior to her abduction and they had walked one evening..possibly the person that saw her walking with a man (if indeed it is true) could have mixed up the days and actually saw her walking with D.
Posted 09/14/2009 at 09:04:34 PMThanks Mitzi and Joan have a good day , or should that be night.lol
Posted 09/15/2009 at 02:17:40 AMI read read early on, in a comment thread posted to an article about the abduction, that a local man claimed to have seen Kristi walking at about 8:15 with a man he best described as being 6'2" about 250 lbs with dark brown hair. At first I thought it was maybe DD as well, but then I met DD and he stood no taller than 5'10" and has very salt and pepper colored hair. I couldn't find any info on the poster to ask for more info but that statement has haunted me in this investigation. The commented claimed to have made this info known to GBI. When the family found the false reward poster, the registered S.O. that created it stood 6'3" with dark brown hair weighing about 216 lbs. But GBI said they looked at him "hard" and he isn't involved...too strange.
Posted 09/15/2009 at 08:13:24 AMMy thoughts and prayers are continually goin out to the Family of this young Lady. I am originally from Hiawassee, and I know that they are many, many forests and backroads from there to blairsville all the way into murphy. I hope that each and everyone of the post on here are looked into that provide some insights, or "feelings" one may have. They are many possiblilities. I know that people dont believe in physic abilties, and that is fine but I dont think its something to be taken lightly. I myself have experienced dreams, and they have clearly happened. I am just hoping that maybe,someone will take these words from these people in consideration and follow up on leads. Again, I pray for her Safe return and for all of those suffering in Blairsville. God Bless and may he shelter you and your loved ones...

Samantha, you've been adamant about Douglas Davis's innocence based on reports that the GBI cleared him. I'm confused. The GBI has also stated the ex-husbands aren't suspects, so why would you suggest one of them be looked at again?
And, by the way, I believe Cody is the last name of Kristi's first husband. I didn't know any of her husbands worked in the prison system. Will you please let me know where you saw that information. I'd like to read the article. Thanks.

It would seem to me that an ex-husband would be more apt to have something to do with Kristi's abduction than a boyfriend of only a few weeks since she had a past history with the exes but none, to speak of, with the boyfriend.
Dawn, thanks for posting the order of her husbands but I just can't help but wonder why the last marriage was so short .... something must have happened that makes me, and I would imagine others, wonder also.
Were the husbands local men ????
Posted 09/15/2009 at 03:36:18 PMThree new articles dated September 14, 2009, related to Kristi Cornwell's disappearance published on The News Observer online (from Blue Ridge, Georgia) are now available to read (posted today)

Motivation aside since anyone (a stranger, a short-term boyfriend, a co-worker, a friend, a husband.) can snap and nobody other than the perp(s) knows why the apparent crime was committed, I'm confused by two things:
1. You have stated from the start that none of us should view Davis a POI because the GBI reportedly cleared him, but you are now wanting us to consider her ex-husband who also has been cleared by the GBI. Based solely on your belief that what GBI says is golden, why should one man be looked at further by LE but not the other?
2. You state that ex-husband #3 would have more reason to commit the crime than a boyfriend of a few weeks, but have you forgotten that some locals think it was an extremely short marriage. It's even possible it didn't last as long as the 7 or so weeks Davis and Kristi were together. There may not be any long-term history with husband #3. He and Kristi may have wed very quickly after meeting. It wouldn't surprise me if that was the case since Davis has said he and Kristi were already talking marriage.
I'm not trying to pick a fight, so please don't bring out the claws. I'm just totally perplexed by the your posts and am trying to understand why you are suggesting one man may be guilty for the very same reasons (GBI statement and possible lack of relationship history) the other is innocent.
With that said, I think everyone in Kristi's life should be re-interviewed if they haven't been already and alibis rechecked. I can't imagine her family's pain and suffering wondering what happened and when will they find her.
Posted 09/15/2009 at 06:31:45 PMThanks Jolie for posting concerning the articles in today's edition of the www.thenewsobserver.com
Posted 09/15/2009 at 06:33:18 PMat least they haven't given up following any possible leads.
Etta - There wasn't a witness who saw a man walking with Kristi. There was a witness who thought he saw Kristi walking with a man, but after interviewing him, and speaking to people in the area, it was confirmed that he saw a husband and wife walking together - not Kristi.
Posted 09/16/2009 at 10:53:56 AMThanks, Elle, I had not heard that.

Wow, I hadn't heard that was the case. Hopefully LE was able to track down the husband and wife to see if they passed Kristi while on their walk.
Posted 09/16/2009 at 01:11:41 PMDawn - Thank you for posting the order of the husbands. I never could figure 1 and 2 out for sure. And as far as I know, all 3 are local. I know for sure 2 and 3 are. They have all lived together in this town together through marriage and divorce, and never seem to have any problems. And I would imagine they all know each others families and friends, etc. Guess they were pretty easy to clear.
Posted 09/16/2009 at 04:16:39 PMI know I probably sound like a broken record on this topic...but if there is no witness (that we know of) to say what time Kristi really left for her walk and if indeed she really did go for a walk (well other than D.)..is it possible to fake the phone calls, I mean electronically...is anyone a electronics whiz that is reading this???...could the phone calls have been done thru call forwarding or anything like that.
IS (big capital letters here) there a way to create the phone rings in the two separate locations that occurred?
Samantha I know of your strong defense of D. and this is just to say to you that this is just a thought, a far out thought I know...but it is time to dig deep and hard to find some sort of clue or different angle of the investigation that has been overlooked by everyone.
So..anyone know? IS it possible to somehow have created a fake phone conversation and in reality...Kristi was gone, abducted, taken..long before the time of the phone call,and the phone call was only to create a undisputed alibi?
Is it possible to do that with two cell phones in two different locations? I know about pings and all that..I am asking anyone that may really know? I have to think it is NOT possible or knowledge an average person would know...but what if it were?
Posted 09/16/2009 at 05:03:18 PMI just finished reading a true crime book that explains in detail how cell phone calls are traced. I don't have time to post it now, but I will look it up and post it later or tomorrow.
Posted 09/16/2009 at 06:18:58 PMThis book was about the two girls from Fayette County GA (a little south of Atlanta) that killed one girl's grandparents in August 2004 that had raised her entitled, "If You Really Loved Me" by Kevin McMurray.
They used cellphones to locate the girls on Tybee Island, GA the day after the murders. The following is an excerpt on how cell phones are tracked by LE and I believe the person that tossed that phone knew this information .... that's why it was tossed and this is how they tracked the cellphone records between Kristi and D. Davis.
From the book:
"As of this writing (2006) there are two different systems used depending on what kind of cell service is being tracked. The capability is called E-911 and the programs used by the U S Marshals are called Triggerfish and Stingray. In the last few years cell phones have been equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) chip, whereas the signal from a cellphone can be located anywhere in the world. The Marshal Service has the capability of locating the phone to within a few feet, even when it is not turned on".
Posted 09/16/2009 at 06:44:04 PMI wanted to mention this because of many people who not believe in Psychics.
In the Case of Annie Le the student who was found murdered, I meditated on the case while they were still looking for her and I see things connecting the killer to things like Floor Polishers and Vacuum cleaners and things that a Mainteance type would use in his work, and I just heard on the news the man they are most interested in investigating in her murder is a Maintenance Technician.
Now we will see if any of my Psychic information pans out in the case of Kristi.
Posted 09/16/2009 at 07:28:54 PMAll my information is free and I am just posting here in discussions like everyone else who offers their own personal opinions and some of mine is given to me by my guides in the Spirit World who can look into the past and the future, and give me this kind of information.
The only way around being tracked by your cell phone ping is to buy a prepaid phone and not send in your information. If you buy a prepaid off the rack you don't have to register the phone unless you send in the warranty info. etc. that way you are free to come and go where ever and when ever talk to anyone you want with out the fear of being tracked by your ping.
Posted 09/16/2009 at 08:23:15 PMKristi's mom saw her leave for her walk. It is sad to me that a person other than LE found the phone. I've seen nothing published about getting fingerprints or DNA off the phone and wonder if this is why.

Sorry I didnt realize her mom had seen her leave..I missed that somewhere, actually I have read very little about the parents. So thank you for posting that. I had a theory going in my mind and that takes care of it if her mom saw her leave.
sorry if there are typos, somehow my screen has shrunk to a little tiny box and I have no clue how that happened..I can barely see this print..so please forgive typos..

Just to refresh our memories. This is Davis one week after Kristi was "abducted" here he says someone, other later statements he speaks of people. He talks of marriage and says he only met Kristis family two days before the abduction...Of course it depends how close Kristi was to her mum and dad but if she was thinking of marriage would they not know. Still something not right here. Did Davis take a lie detector ?he said he did, police are saying nothing. Or have they now confirmed this. Apoligize but it is really hard to find anything on this case.
Posted 09/17/2009 at 02:06:30 PMMy husband and I were riding back to Murphy from Blue Ridge today and we saw a big billboard with Kristi's pic and info on it and we began discussing the case. My husband said that it evidently wasn't a local that took her unless they weren't employed, since there has been no info from any employer stating that an employee has been absent.
He believes as I do that whoever took her was probably someone from her past and they just got out of prison ... that's why it took so long.
If I were LE I'd be looking for someone that's recently been released from prison and that was connected to Kristi in the past due to her employment.
Posted 09/17/2009 at 03:39:43 PMCan anyone refresh my memory on the guy that made the reward poster and turned out to be a sex offender. It was so long ago in the investigation and I was only just following the case..but what all was released on him? Is he completely ruled out as a person of interest?
Could he have done the poster thing, not for monetary reasons, but to have attention brought to himself? ...is it possible he wanted to be 'involved" in the investigation, for his own special reasons?
Could he have been involved in her disappearance and then wanted his recognition by 'helping" the investigation and if he was helping with the investigation by creating the reward poster, then in his mind that would take suspicion off of him?
It is just a thought, but I feel we are all overlooking something that is obvious or very important but that we have gotten past it or dismissed it as illogical.
Somewhere out there are some answers waiting to be found or discovered...lets just hope it is soon.
Posted 09/17/2009 at 06:43:31 PMSince we are all throwing out possible what ifs...here is a possible, no disrespect intended....Kristi was in love with D. She hoped this time it was a forever love. She had her apt in town and she and D. would spend many wonderful moments together. Kristi realized she was pregnant, she informed D. who in panic argued with her and said no, she can't have the baby and think what it would do to his career? Kristi said yes she was going to have the baby and D. put together a plan to hire two men to take care of Kristi. D wanted to make sure the deed was going to be done and had Kristi on the line when the men grabbed her up. He heard the abduction and waited enough time before he called her mom knowing Kristi was taken and silenced.
Posted 09/17/2009 at 09:10:00 PMIt chills me to think of that scenario, but I suppose it is possible. It is very uncanny to me the timing of his return call to her and her subsequent abduction...and the "delay" in reaching her mom. And yesterday I read that D's gospel singing group just signed on with a larger music company...
Posted 09/18/2009 at 07:16:48 AMEtta hi, can you check and see if one of the gospel group left a day or two after Kristi disappeared?..
Posted 09/18/2009 at 08:28:37 AMThe group signed back in Feb or this year. For some reason, that news was only posted in the last few weeks.
Hi Ironside! I know the question was for Etta, so hope you don't mind my answering. Sometime toward the end of August, the website for the group was updated, and Pam Starr was removed, and Angie Mann was added.
Posted 09/18/2009 at 12:24:37 PMThanks Mitzi, I cannot understand the silence in this case.Did Pam Starr leave for any reason? or has she moved on to something else, sorry I am asking all of these inane questions I am just trying to find a reason for something, anything to get a hold on this mystery. It has been so long now ,the family must have given up nearly all of their hope. No matter how religious you may be , this must test your faith to the limit. Angie Mann , is she well known?
Posted 09/18/2009 at 04:38:18 PMOK I found a link, when googling both names. Thanks Mitzi once again.
http://www.elianagodanswers.org/Douglas-Davis.html
Posted 09/18/2009 at 04:41:26 PMIronside...I share your desire to find or have answers..this incident has effected me deeply and I check here several times a day in hopes of finding a new posting saying Kristi is home or she has been found..or even just a release of some information.
I can only surmise that there was something in the phone conversation and things that Kristi may have said the LE feels the public should not know. What that could be , I don't know. I think it is possible she called out a first name of someone ..but that is only a guess on my part.
I have a negative feeling about D. but I don't really know why...I watched one of the interviews he participated in and in watching the interview I never felt any pain or grief coming from him but yet, some people do not show emotions and hold it all inside.
At the time I watched it, which was a while ago, the thought crossed my mind that I wondered if it were possible the relationship was a bit one sided.. that maybe she was into him, more than he was into her...but yet I believe he is the one that spoke of the two of them talking about marriage.
Posted 09/18/2009 at 05:33:54 PMI follow a lot of cases on line.. my hubby is a retired police office and I was a civilian employee of a police dept for 25 years, a lot of my family is in LE and ..and I have to say that I just can't get a feel for what happened here.
Do we know anything about D. first wife?? Who she was and if the marriage was violent in any way??
Posted 09/18/2009 at 08:59:37 PMA few days ago I was looking at DD's website. Saw the pic of the "group" signing their recording contract. Moved my mouse over the pic and Pam Starr's name was shown, so I googled her name as I didn't catch it before the site was altered.
Her website link is below:
http://www.pamstarr.com/
In he biography it states:
"During 2007-2008, Pam had the opportunity to help an Atlanta-area music ministry get off the ground, assisting Eliana (Hebrew for "My God Answers") leader Douglas Davis and his daughter Lauren in the formation of a new trio. Pam is thankful for the opportunity God gave her to help in the creation of this ministry."
Looks like she was already planning to return to her own life in South Carolina when Kristi was abducted. Her biography also says she is married.
She had scheduled performances beginning August 30, in SC

Kristi Leigh Cornwell is 5’ 5†and weighs around 150 pounds. She has dark brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and tan shorts, Tuesday, Aug. 11 on Jones Creek Road in Blairsville, Ga.
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.
Kristi Leigh Cornwell had been walking on Jones Creek Road, around 9 p.m. when she was believed to have been abducted. Her disappearance was reported Aug. 11 by her boyfriend who was talking to her on a cell phone. He was in Atlanta.
The boyfriend told investigators Cornwell said, “Somebody’s coming — I gotta move off the side of the road.†He reported hearing a scuffle. He called Cornwell’s parents and told them to dial 911. Cornwell had been staying with her parents who live about 3.5 miles away.
Cornwell’s cell phone was found on Nottley Dam Road, about 2 miles from where she was last seen. It was still in good condition, but had a low battery, Bankhead said. He said the call with her boyfriend has been verified.
Cornwell is 5’ 5†and weighs around 150 pounds. She has dark brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen wearing a white T-shirt and tan shorts, Bankhead said.
Authorities believe Cornwell is in extreme danger.
The Union County Sheriff’s Office and GBI are seeking information from witnesses who may have seen a light-colored, white or silver SUV, possibly a Tahoe or a sub-compact gold or tan car in the vicinity.
Authorities are also seeking information from anyone who was located on Jones Creek Road between 8-10 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 11. Call the Union County Sheriff’s Office (706) 439-6038 or the GBI tip line, 1 (800) 597-8477.
In the meantime, Cornwell’s family is offering a $50,000 reward for information that may lead to Cornwell’s whereabouts or an arrest and conviction.
Cornwell’s family, which includes her 15 year old son, has set up a Web site to help keep the search alive. Visit: http://kristicornwell.com/
“Anywhere you go, look for Kristi’s face,†the family wrote on the Web site.

Posted 09/20/2009 at 12:33:25 PMIt has been one month since this report when there was still hope. I fear now that hope has gone and it is just a question of time until Kristis body is found.
Thanks for posting that Ironsides...I hadnt read that publication..and I too fear for the worse. There should always be HOPE, but I too now think that if Kristi is found it will not be for a family reunion.
This case has reached deep inside of me, I am not sure why, but I come here often every day in hopes there is something new or Kristi has been found or that someone has posted a theory that explains it all.
My heart breaks for Kristi and her family.
Posted 09/20/2009 at 12:59:28 PMGood evening Joan, or it is here , not sure of your time zone lol. I know Kristi was so full of life and a bright young lady with a future she was looking forward to. A son only fifteen years of age, too young to lose a mum.
Posted 09/20/2009 at 01:18:14 PMI am also following the Haleigh Cummings story on In.Sessions....they are dragging a pond, looks like she soon may be found. Such a terrible world, where no one is safe. All I can say Joan is give those close to you today an extra hug. Take care.
As I read these last two posts I see the date 9/30/2009 and believe that may be the date that Kristi is found, and my Psychic information predicts she will be found by hunters.
We realize after all this time, it will be a shock for any hunters who come upon the remains of a person who has been missing this long and also for law officers called to the scene to deal with the situation, and then the coroner and I am writing this way because recently I have been thinking about what a tough job these people have and how we may not take the time to realize what they have to deal with in situations like this.
Recently a little five year old girl who was missing in our area was found after about a week or two and they learned she had been buried alive and when the sheriff gave a press conference he cried over this very sad case.
In our area eight weeks ago a disabled woman came up missing and they found her two days ago in the basement of an abandoned building so decomposed they had to identify her from dental records.
We need to think about what kind of people do this to others and we have to make sure they never get away with this but the sad case is some of these cases are never solved and the killers go on with their lives like nothing ever happened.
These are the kinds of cases that Psychic detectives gather information on and quite often they are visited by the spirits of the missing person and this is how we know they have been killed before anyone else does.
This is also how we know who killed them or had them killed.
Kristi did not disappear on her own and she was targeted by someone else who had her kidnapped and killed for personal reasons.
I am hoping the killer reads this and knows that Kristi does not like what you had done to her and you will not find peace ever again on this green earth and God knows who you are and he is the one who gave me the information on your, but at this time I am not going to write further on this but you know who you are and I think you should think what you did to Kristi and confess not only to God but to the authorities.

For Kristi's sake please post any information (or visions) you have on her abductor .... it's your duty to do so after having been given your God given gift ???? If you know something, then state it outright. I very much doubt the perps are reading internet forums.
Posted 09/20/2009 at 02:18:13 PMI would not be so sure Samantha, it is a perfect way to glean information and see what is happening. Family members and friends are also alleged to post. What better way than the perp . posting under an alias on all boards to guide the posters to his or her way of thinking. Police gain information this way in England.
Posted 09/20/2009 at 03:01:17 PMLazy journalists certainly follow forums it is a quick and easy way to get the latest news...I have seen chunks of a blog stolen by a reporter and placed in the newspaper Online in England.
You know, I grew up in a household filled with superstitions..my mom was a believer in anything spiritual or psychic. So I do not disbelieve in psychic abilities, but I do detest people that truly are shams and unfortunately there are lots of them out there seeking a quick buck or notoriety.
However I do feel that CVT is sincere and wants to help...so we should welcome what is posted...to non believers, why would a psychic's posting be any different than our own rambling thoughts and theories..for in the end..that is all we have.. is our theories or "feelings".
I think often psychics are not understood properly. A psychics ability lies in their interpretation of their feelings or what they see in their mind. Sometimes their take on what they saw or felt is right on..sometimes it is off but it doesnt mean they made it up..it only means that they didnt interpret it the right away. We all have some of the same feelings and thoughts, but label them differently.
In thinking of Kristi and what has occurred here...I realize it has changed my life somewhat already.
I also live in the country and I often would walk a four mile route that took me off the main roads onto windy back roads and would eventually bring me back to my house.
I too (like Kristi) have a form of LE in my background and have been trained in self defense, and up till a year ago, was a avid hand gun shooter and competed in handgun competitions..under normal conditions I think it would be safe to say that I know how to defend myself, and would not hesitate to use the knowledge.
But since this has happened, I have to admit, that I have not taken any walks by myself and don't know that I ever will again. I used to play out in my mind what I would do if a car pulled over when I was walking and actually had a game plan in my mind..but never did I ever imagine actually being abducted...
...which makes me realize that you can't guard against everything. A bump from a car bumper can send you sprawling and quickly disable you. A stun gun or tazer can immobilize you quickly. A strong person can be rendered helpless by either of those two methods..and those are only two of probably dozens of ways a person could quickly gain control over a lone person.
Again, I just hope and pray that Kristi AND her abductor(s) are found like NOW...to much time is passing. Either LE has NOTHING or they are still trying to build a case against the abductor(s).
Posted 09/20/2009 at 03:21:28 PMThere ARE true psychics, then they're are bogus wannabe psychics that take info already publicized to post 'what they have seen in a vision'.
Posted 09/20/2009 at 05:16:50 PMi don't see that anyone has mentioned another possible
Posted 09/20/2009 at 06:28:15 PMfate for Kristi- human trafficking--at least it would mean
Kristi is alive. I hate to rule out hope for her.
and for us ladies who enjoy solitary walks, i say continue
to do so. we need to always be prepared and never let fear disable us.

Actually A bit of fear can be a positive thing for it can prevent you from becoming a victim.
I dont know much about human trafficking and always think in my mind of very very young victims but with so little to go on...it is as valid a theory or thought as anyones.
COME ON LE...give a press release and talk to us...people are forgetting about Kristi, unrelated horrendous events have occurred to other victims in other crimes and in other areas since her abduction and the public moves on...dont let Kristi be forgotten by the news media. Give them something so that Kristi remains in the hearts and minds of the public. Even at this site, people have moved on for lack of new news. Even if the family would speak out it would help. To much silence is going on.
Posted 09/20/2009 at 08:24:21 PMI have been reading a very interesting site:
websleuths Forensic Astrology where they are posting on Kristy and there is a poster on there who uses the name Tuba and I am amazed at what she is writing as an Astrologer because we live in different states and she is an Astrologer and I am a psychic who gathers information my way and we have basically the same information and have come to some of the same conclusions.
I have not commented on her posts but can't help but see how similar our thoughts are on the case, and to me its amazing that an astrologer in one state and a psychic in another state working completely different could come up with basically the same information on this case.
Posted 09/21/2009 at 05:31:11 AMI was not aware of the site you mentioned but will go there and check it out. I can't say I believe 100 percent, but I don't disbelieve either. Maybe safe to say I am neutral and chose to leave the door open.
Posted 09/21/2009 at 01:33:13 PMI've not moved from this site or case. I too check it several times a day, and google Kristi's name for hopes of an update. Certain cases always grip me too... this one has. I can't explain why it has. The Yale case has me enthralled too, but the mystery is over other than the "why". Unfortunately there never seems to be a "why" other than we have evil people living in the same space the rest of us occupy.
I wish LE would let something out of their "bag of tricks". One thing is for certain, keeping quiet about it all has not netted any results for them. Even they said it would be up to the public to give them leads, so why not spill some of the unknown facts? After a month gone, I don't think there is anything that could hamper bringing her abdutor(s) to justice that they could tell us.
Other cases that I've watched in the same fashion was Taylor Behl, and Ben Fawley who was ultimately arrested and jailed for taking her life. Madeleine McCann was a daily obssession until about 6 months ago when all went silent, but at least once a week I google for new leads. Several more, but mostly high profile stuff, because the news keeps coming.
I wish for her family that she is found if not safe and alive then at least to gain closure and a proper burial. And that who ever is responsible is brought to swift justice.
Posted 09/21/2009 at 03:04:18 PMI think Kristi's abduction is a bit "out" of the normal stats of abducted woman but I am only basing that statement on what I feel..I have no stats available but may try to find some...most of the abductions that come to my mind, all seem to involve much younger people, youngsters, teen's and girls in the early 20's.
Kristi is an attractive but mature woman, an intelligent woman versed in self defense and survival. For me, it puts her into a slightly different category. Probably of no importance, but yet worth mentioning I am sure.
Posted 09/21/2009 at 06:44:38 PMok..on a quick search I found this on abductions...it was posted under CHILDREN's abductions, but some of it I am sure would hold true of any abduction..I will try to find more later but time is short for me right now.
Patterns of abduction
* In abduction cases, the first few hours are the most critical.
* 75% of abductions are by a family member or an acquaintance.
* Only 25% of kids are taken by strangers.The majority of these abductors are men
* When kids are taken by strangers, 66% of the victims are female children.
* 76% percent of victims are Caucasian females with and average age of 11 years.
* Most abducted children are in their teens.
* Most abductors/predators are usually highly skilled in the art of manipulation.
* Abductors/predators often single out a lone child or one that is out late at night alone.
* Abductors/predators usually befriend their victim.
AGAIN...I realize this is general info and about child abductions, but some of it I am sure does not change just because it is an adult.. this is only a partial list but the most informative part. Given an opportunity I will do a bit more research and see if I can find something on adult abductions unless someone else jumps and and finds it and posts it.
Posted 09/21/2009 at 06:53:32 PMhas anyone heard if Mr. Davis is still discussing the case
Posted 09/21/2009 at 08:15:45 PMpublicly? if he still considers himself her boyfriend?
or maybe he has moved on too.

Posted 09/21/2009 at 10:40:06 PMWell actually I have read NOTHING new in days and days..after about the first week there was NO new info posted. It would be a bit bizarre if after only one month he just gave up and moved on...when there could still be hope. But now I pretty much only come here to read and see if there is anything new, so it is possible that there is info out there on what he is experiencing and going thru.
Hi, Iron
I tried to post an answer to your questions of Sept. 12 on one of Saul Relative's articles on Associated Content but apparently I've used up my quota of posts and it will not be allowed.
There was a TV report by CBS's Mike Paluska that specifically stated that the GBI would not confirm or deny if Mr. Davis had taken a lie detector test. Douglas Davis Talks About Missing Girlfriend, Kristi Cornwell
posted by OfficialCBSAtlanta. This was on the news on August 21, 2009:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYYoyI9pK7Y
The article you want by Saul Relative is titled "Kristi Cornwell is missing: Was her abduction staged?" and dated August 23, 2009.
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/2095177/kristi_cornwell_is_missing_was_her.html?cat=9
As far as Douglas Davis's involvement in whatever happened to Kristi Cornwell, I'd like to share what I heard on a CSI rerun the other day: "The first witness is the first suspect," said CSI Grissom. In this case, Douglas Davis is the only "witness" known and provides the only information that sets up the scenario of abduction. The LE must certainly have investigated him very closely (or still is).
to grm, I haven't heard or read anything about Davis making appearances, since his initial round of the news and talk shows.
Posted 09/21/2009 at 11:30:25 PMI believe the (so-called) boyfriend, Douglas Davis is involved. First of all, they had only dated three weeks prior to her abduction. On his interview with FOX news, he appeared to push out tears and said that he loved her. Everyone knows, love doesn't happen that fast. Her family would have known if she was in love with someone. I also think his tale of her words, "don't take me", is a joke. She would have been yelling, no or stop, or even help. This man is involved. The FBI needs to be checking him out closer. I guarantee, they are going to find out that he was involved somehow. Possibly, she was breaking up with him and he didn't like it.
Posted 09/22/2009 at 05:01:40 AMi share your distrust for Mr. Davis. I read on his MySpace
Posted 09/22/2009 at 05:23:45 AMprofile that he was married and that was dated earlier this year.
I think he has gone on with his life, music, whatever and has
put Kristi behind him. Actions speak louder than words.

Oh that is new news for me, I didn't realize he had been married well I mean still married that recently..which would mean recently separated or divorced if the myspace was dated earlier this year...that is important info to have. Would throw some thoughts at his ex or separated wife and whoever if anyone, that she may be involved with.
I have also refrained from pointing fingers, as we are all grasping at any available info to try to figure things out..but when I watched a interview with D. shortly after Krisit's disappearance, I was immediately struck by his eyes during the interview and this is my take of the interview which I have never spoken out on...however I strongly feel that there is going to be further info very soon..just a feeling but I think it is going to come to a end shortly.
My take on the interview.
He was not a broken man, he was not devastated, he was NOT the image you would think you would see of a man that was TALKING to his girlfriend, the woman he loves.. when she was abducted. There was no horror or pain in his voice or his eyes. He could have been a stranger being interviewed.
In the one interview, he was holding the book she gave him, well it looked more like a stage prop, like he thought it out and took it for the interview for "show".
I believe in a investigation, that anyone and everyone should be suspected until the truth comes out. So now I have finally said what I really truly think and what I felt when I watched the interview. There was something amiss in D.s eyes. I guess I would say the intensity of it all, was missing from him..emotion, passion..even anger was missing from his eyes.
Now that could mean all sorts of things..something as simple as some people do not show emotions..it could mean he was emotionally drained from the ordeal,it could mean he was not as 'involved" with Kristi as we have been lead to believe and that he was seeking notoriety by making the relationship more than it was, it could mean he knows more than is being said (but we know the police asked him and family to not discuss details) so his demeanor could have simply been his caution in what he was allowed to say or speak of.
So many things his demeanor in the interview could mean, it doesnt have to mean he is guilty of anything, and he may have been holding himself in "check" being cautious not to say or give away any evidence the police had asked him not to talk about...but there definitely was something amiss in the interview I watched.
So I said it..it is the way I feel.right or wrong.
Posted 09/22/2009 at 09:07:47 AMthat is interesting about his myspace! Can you provide a link for that grm? TIA
I had wondered about the mother of his two kids and where she was in this scenario, but haven't heard or read a thing until this tidbit.
I personally think dd has moved on...I mean it's the same amount of time it took for him to fall head over heals with her that she's now been missing.
I wonder now if there is a reconcilliation with the ex and dd... they could have conspired together to rid their lives of Kristi. One never knows...
Posted 09/22/2009 at 09:08:08 AMI know this is a bit hokey..but I just now..went to a site where you can get tarot card reads..(facade.com). And even though I have my own tarot cards, and have been studying them for a couple of years, I went there for a quick 3 card reading. Sometimes it amazes me what cards come up..again to state, I believe all avenues should be explored and know that tarot card reading is a bit far fetched for this..but I will post the cards that came up. Strangely I agree pretty much with the Past and the Present card...the Future card puzzles me and I am not to sure what to make of it..maybe someone else can interpret it..
--
This is a 3 card read called the 3 Fates..Past, Present and Future done thru facade.com My original question of the cards was..Will Kristi be found soon?...and strangley all three of her cards came up reversed (which means upside down), a reversed card has a different meaning than a upright card..but below are the card meanings supplied by facade.com.
The Devil (past) The left card represents an important element of the past. The Devil, when reversed: Resistance of temptation. Freedom from bondage. The pursuit of higher goals despite the influence of luxury and pleasure. Release from obsession with money and power. Liberation from fear, weakness and indecision through communion with higher powers or the inner voice.
The Lovers (present) The middle card represents a deciding element of the present. The Lovers, when reversed: Inner strife, frustration, suspicion, and disagreements in a relationship. Irresponsibility and indecision. Avoiding true intimacy in favor of lust. Unfaithfulness.
Eight of Wands (future) The right card represents a critical element of the future. Eight of Wands (Swiftness), when reversed: Too much force applied too suddenly. A flash in the pan. A foolhardy and untimely plunge into the unknown. Impatience leading to poor decisions in love, business, travel, or spiritual growth.
So..anyone have a take on the card for the future?
Posted 09/22/2009 at 09:22:59 AMJoan not sure what to make of this, but here is another translation of 8 of wands from here:
http://www.crystal-reflections.com/tarot2/rider/eight_wr.htm
Eight of Wands (R) - You tend to get carried away with new ideas. Try not to loose sight of your perspective or your self-confidence now. Take any sudden infatuations or new ideas in stride and control your emotions. Your own apprehension can create insecure feelings and cause you to procrastinate. Act swiftly and communicate directly.
Jealousy arises from uncertainty and confusion - in both your own feelings and the feelings of others. Quarreling solves nothing and any force or pressure could ruin all your plans. When things are not "working for you" - take the time to reevaluate your situation. Know and trust that a slight adjustment can and will change everything.
Here are the problems of extremes - a major temptation is to move too fast. To try is like letting a rubberband be drawn tighter as the lead end move on - eventually the tail end must be let loose and will spring forward to join the lead end in one great snap to make up for the lost time. The backlash can hurt.
Questions to Answer: What are you rushing into? A relationship? A new direction for growth? A belief or philosophy? What are you being "carried away" by or overwhelmed with? What do you feel the urge to move on quickly? What do you need to tell others about?
From another site, concise and to the point: The 8 of Wands in reverse is a warning. "You're Moving too Fast!"
Pfffft, I can't see that anything is moving too fast...at least not on this side of the casse!
Posted 09/22/2009 at 11:17:19 AMJoan, From what I find on the 8 of wands in reverse position is that things are moving way too fast (not on this side of the case I would say!). That consequences of decisions need to be thought about before jumping to do something.
Also said that reaching for love or happiness too quickly and being too eager for it and not thinking about the end result.
I would say the last thing seems to be something that Kristi has done in the past and may explain why there were three marriages. I'm not saying anything is wrong with being married 3 times, I'm guilty of it! And, yes, the 8 of wands must have been present those three times, it's obvious I didn't think about the consequences either, and was too quick to trust and love.
Posted 09/22/2009 at 11:23:42 AMoopsie, sorry folks!
Posted 09/22/2009 at 11:40:33 AMyou can go directly to myspace.com and do a people search
Posted 09/22/2009 at 01:56:23 PMhis photo and brief profile are there. if i am mistaken and
this is someone else- my apologies.
i can't hear to know what he said in any of his interviews or public appearances. i read body language. if i met him on the street i would steer clear of him (not out of fear)
I wish Kristi had.
missed the part about him having children. in this day and age, we can't even rule out the kids as POI. sad
the first witness is still the first suspect for all of us still , yes?
Thanks, grm, I'll see if I can find him. Yes, he has a daughter that sings in the group with him, and a son I believe. Don't know anything about a son. But, there has to be a mother to those kids somewhere, just haven't heard anything on her.
Yes, the strongest suspect without having any facts to back it up is almost always the one closest or the last one to see the victim.

Why do you wish Kristi had steered clear of Davis .... what has the man done wrong but be her current boyfriend, and you don't condemn someone by socalled body language and nuances. You have no idea of what body language you would present if you had been put in the situation that he's been put in.
Posted 09/22/2009 at 03:50:14 PMHi Samantha,
Posted 09/22/2009 at 05:10:25 PMwould you be a dear and interpret what he said for me?
thanks
A bit more on the tarot reading I posted earlier....
The future card in the reading, The Eight of Wands Reversed is about Kristi herself not necessarily about the slowness of the investigation..to interpret it correctly it will tie in with her other two cards, the past and the present.
The past and the present card, are what determines her future card..and fortunes can be changed and altered by a change in the past or present.
The card for the past, (the Devil reversed) indicates (to me) a bit of turmoil in her past but a decision and a determination to make her life better...(could be school..could be religion) or just a spiritual awakening, a new discovery and reinforced belief in something positive.
It sounded like, from what we read, that Kristi was forging ahead, learning a new skill, a new profession which would fit with the card for her past.
The card for the present(the Lovers reversed) indicates (to me) a relationship of turmoil, emotion and based more on the physical and sexual aspect than a true relationship of strong emotions of love, leading to distrust and possibly arguments, a bit of uneasiness, a bit of jealousy maybe.
Which leads right into Kristi's future card, the Eight of Wands reversed and that is the card that is giving me fits in interpreting it...for it seems to be about swiftness, heading recklessly into something, of taking chances and just plain moving to fast. To much..to soon. Moving forward without testing the waters so to speak..throwing caution to the wind....
so that card could mean ( to me )that her future is (was) filled with moving to fast towards something that may not necessariy be good for her..that she needs more time to slow down to make wiser decisions..to be better informed..time to think things thru before acting out.
But I freely admit, I only read cards for personal enjoyment for myself and a few relatives.I have never done it outside of my home and that is why I chose to use the outside source to lay out the three cards..but I just dont think I am putting that third card in the right perspective.
I just can't seem to tie the third card into the past and present and I have never had that happen before, but then again, I have never applied tarot to anything other than personal amusement.
I feel comfortable with what the past and present cards say..but this card,the eight of wands reversed and my interpretation of it does not "feel" right so I think I am missing something..but I just dont know what..
My original question for the orignal Tarot reading was.."will Kristi be found soon".
Posted 09/22/2009 at 07:02:38 PM---
Totally separate from this Tarot card info...I personally think something is about to happen real soon, a news release or a major announcement, like in the next few days. I hope I am right, and I hope there is news and it is positive for Kristi and for her family, I think of them and her every day and hope there is news soon.
Maybe the whole "kidnapping" has been staged so Kristi could "get away" for some time to think. Maybe she needed to slow things down in her life.
Posted 09/23/2009 at 07:21:08 AMSamantha you are at it again...What is it about Davis that you defend him so. Do you know him? It seems like you do...For someone who was supposed to be so in love and talking of marriage after 3 weeks he seems to be doing fine.
Posted 09/23/2009 at 03:16:02 PMThey met on a chat line, I wonder how many other women he has met this way. I do not trust him and as posters have noticed he seems to have put Kristi in the past, not a very religious thing to do for a preacher man...
it wouldn't be unheard of. maybe it was an extreme case of family intervention or someone outside the family.
Posted 09/23/2009 at 03:18:25 PMfriends don't let friends ...
one word comes to mind about Kristi - vulnerable.
there was a news article dated 9/21, about searching for her
in east TN.

What went with the article...did they say WHY they were searing Tn...did they have a clue or a tip, were they looking for a body for looking for Kristi alive somewhere?
Kristi's brother lives in Knoxville
Posted 09/23/2009 at 05:35:52 PMhe has been searching for her in his plane
i can get more info on where i saw that
www.knoxnews.com
Posted 09/23/2009 at 05:41:48 PMfrom there you can search under Kristi Cornwell
follow the comments to the articles. sound familiar?
Thanks grm
I did copy this quote from her brother..
(http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/sep/22/local-man-searching-for-missing-sister/)
"We absolutely have no idea as far as suspects go," he said. "There are over 150 sex offenders living in the area who have been interviewed. They have spent a tremendous amount of time on this case."
---
Posted 09/23/2009 at 06:31:15 PMWell there it is from a family member..based on this statement, it sounds as though LE has NO idea who abducted her and is not building a case against anyone as I had thought was possible.
maybe that is what they want the public to believe?
Posted 09/23/2009 at 06:53:03 PMand that's an awful lot of sex offenders.
one article described Kristi as a mother of two, yet i've only seen mention of her son. anyone know about her other child? or could it be an error in reporting?
Grm...public interest has moved on from Kristi I am sad to say..due to lack of information in part. Fewer postings and theories, less views I am sure. The world goes on and people forget or lose interest when there is nothing new to add to the information. I fault LE for not giving out some press releases from time to time to help keep this active and keep interest so people dont foget.
Even if all LE said was that they do not have any leads or info..and ask the public to come forward if they have knowledge of anything..at least it would keep the interest going.
Posted 09/23/2009 at 07:46:24 PMJoan,
Posted 09/23/2009 at 09:58:10 PMi agree with you. it was encouraging to see the recent articles about the case though. i think that those of us
who have followed the case this far will not forget her.
GBI has quite a list of missing persons with Kristi at the top. sadly there are many unidentified persons too.
I do not believe that Kristi's kidnapping is a "staged abduction", the news would be out by now. No one could pull off a "show" like that and not be found. Something would be found, she couldn't go on allowing her family to be hurt this way with no news. She would "be discovered" somewhere. There would have to be some interaction with people and I just can't believe under these circumstances she could go undetected this long.
I do believe I know what happened to Kristi. I feel angry about various comments on this blog and others that express deragatory comments about Kristi. ("the first to cast stones and all"). She was obviously like many of us with the "if at first you don't succeed, try try again" attitude. I personally greatly admire that! I also don't find her "online/offline relationship with DD so unusual", as I know many people who developed exactly that kind of relationship "quickly" online, moved hundreds or thousands of miles to be together, became husband and wife and are so far living "happily ever after". I don't necessarily "like" DD in this scenario, but I don't "think" he's involved in Kristi's dissapearance.
It's someone that was "close in a way" and maybe even close to the family that originally had no intention to "harm" Kristi but to "control" her decisions. They lost it! She's been "harmed", it will all be discovered, eventually and everyone involved will be shocked! As often is the case.
I would relish to be wrong in this and Kristi come home very safe and very sound. No matter your training and resilience, weapons are designed to over power you and stop you in your tracks. Any person unsuspecting of foul play, is caught "off guard" and subject to being over powered, especially if there is more than one person involved.
There is a person who did not get involved, totally willingly and wants to confess the crime. SHE is right there and with "safety" will "sing like a canary"! I have no control over these thoughts! I cannot type fast enough to express all that is in my head and my heart! It's too late! but it will be resolved.
Kristi's family and the effects of this on them and her are in my thoughts and prayers constantly. This case consumes me regularly and I pray for the resolution, for everyone involved. Kristi and her family were very close. They love her dearly! She loves them all dearly. The rest is just as typical as what we all experience in our family relationships. Some are better than others.
I believe there will be a lot of revelation in this case that will be very surprising to all. God Bless Kristi Cornwell as well as all of her family, friends and loved ones.
Posted 09/23/2009 at 10:26:42 PMDawn...a excert from your posting
"There is a person who did not get involved, totally willingly and wants to confess the crime. SHE is right there and with "safety" will "sing like a canary"! I have no control over these thoughts! I cannot type fast enough to express all that is in my head and my heart! It's too late! but it will be resolved.?
Question...you speak of "she"...if you have feelings this strong, please elaborate more on "she" and what it means, or how you see it...are you saying that the person they should be looking for is female? and that the person has knowledge and was involced in the abduction...either during or after the fact?
Like a girlfriend of the abductor?
Posted 09/23/2009 at 11:53:29 PMDawn:
"SHE is right there and with "safety" will "sing like a canary"!"
Where is "right there"? Blairsville? Jones Creek Road (a neighbor)? or closer??? PLEASE BE MORE EXACT.
Another poster, stated awhile ago that they "saw" the person to be "close enough to share a toothbrush". That the person involved "hired" two people to take Kristi, and in doing so established an alibi for themselves.
In my very first post, I stated of the fear this abduction has caused my grandchild. This fear is still very much present in my grandchild 6 +/- weeks later. I want answers to what happened and I believe that after this amount of time LE has a responsibility to the people of Union County to address this case publicly. Don't want the personal details of the personal lives of the family, as some things should be kept private, but if there are direct links of improper actions that have relevance to this case then we need to know. Perhaps if LE opened up and gave us what they have or don't have, then maybe we, the residents of Union County could be of help. Maybe a lightbulb would switch "ON' and someone would have the piece of this puzzle that could help Kristi to be found.
Posted 09/24/2009 at 12:49:14 AMThe person who wrote about the tooth brush was me and it was Psychic Information that I got after first reading the story and touching a picture of Kristi, and the information began to come to me in bits and pieces.
I saw a man sitting on a stool out of harms way with an alabi and he apparently hired too abductors to kidnap Kristi and I believe from my Psychic Information that she was held on a farm for a time, as I see her shackled in a barn then later my Psyhic Information says she was discarded in a Forest area and since there are so many forest areas around those parts I am not sure exactly where she was placed but I was told she will be found at some point in time by Hunters.
I believe one of the men in her life who has been cleared is behind it, and at this time I am analyzing the messages to see which of two of the men I believe is the culprit.
Someone was trying to stop her from doing something she was thinking about doing and she was having none of it.
Some of the things I am seeing has to do with three divorces and other than that I have not figured out all of this.
I would like to say that in some of the posts above are some directions gotten by another Psychic as to routes and things like that and I believe cristy could be found within this area of woods and mountains and of course that will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
I believe this woman like many women today did not want to be controlled by someone else and told she could not make her own decisions on whatever it was they didn't want her to do.
Its too bad that law enforcement in many cases and some others don't trust or believe in Psychics and the information and tips they give because I belive they could help solve these cases a lot sooner if someone would only listen.
Most psychics are not show offs looking for attention or to get rich but when they post tips they say its Psychic Information because its not possible for the ordinary person to have all the personal details of a crime without being involved in the eyes of some law enforcement and I know that because In the past some of the information I gave authorities from hundreds of miles away on a case caused them to tell me I could not have been inside the murder house without going there but its possible for Psychics to look back in time and forward and even witness murders and be inside the murder house without ever stepping foot in the state where the victim lives.
And there are many other psychics out there who can do this and I believe the one posting those routes or that someone else posted after reading what she said could cause her information to be helpful if someone would listen because I have seen some of the things she has done on other cases and she can be very accurate quite often.
Note: I could be a lot more helpful in this case but unfortunately I have four spirits in the spirit world who have chosen to block me from gathering information freely from the higher realms of the spirit world simply because they are mean and spiteful in spirit just as the person was who had Kristi Kidnapped and murdered.
Everyone does not become angels in spirit anymore than they were on Earth and sometimes they return to cause trouble for some of us back here on Earth but most don't they go and adjust to their death and join other family members who have passed before, but some hang around near the earth plane to cause trouble and when they do that we call them Evil Spirits.
I am doing the best I can to investigate Kristis case in spite of the mean spirits trying to block me from gathering information from the Soul Records High in the Spirit world otherwise known as the book of life where every deed we commit against each other while we are here on Earth is recorded and in that Record is a technicolor record of what happened to Kristi that night, as to who did it and why.
When people die and come before the Creator its from that book of life that our good and bad deeds are totaled up and thats where I and other psychics get our information to solve cases like this.
We develop our Psychic Abilities then the Guides appear to us and choose what theyw ant to do when we work with them and some of us are recruited by spirit to be Psychic Detectives so we can help catch predators who kidnapp and murder people.
Posted 09/24/2009 at 07:15:26 AMCVT6702... all credibility lost. You sound bipolar and/or mentally "off". Sorry, I'm not buying it. I DO believe in psychic energy but "mean spirits" and "Soul Records"?! You sound absolutely nuts.
Some people have natural psychic visions, or abilities. I think you are confusing a natural gift with a story in your head that you have created, used to rationalize your bizarre behavior and thinking, and are now leaving for the rest of us to decipher.
I would like to know the hard facts from investigators, current information that is FACT, and where the investigation is overall. Please don't post more dribble... it wastes our time!

"....public interest has moved on from Kristi I am sad to say..due to lack of information in part. Fewer postings and theories, less views I am sure. The world goes on and people forget or lose interest when there is nothing new to add to the information. I fault LE for not giving out some press releases from time to time to help keep this active and keep interest so people dont foget. Even if all LE said was that they do not have any leads or info..and ask the public to come forward if they have knowledge of anything..at least it would keep the interest going."
You are indeed correct that public interest in this case is waning and the case is going stone cold.
LE has to know more info than has been released, one being what was said during the abduction when the phone was still on (male voices, female voices, accents, how many voices, what was said, etc). I am growing weary of this hush/hush case.
Posted 09/24/2009 at 10:36:47 AMAs far as pyschics go, cases have been solved by real psychics .... the problem I have is many psychics take already publicized info and use it as their own 'reading'. Much of the info in CVT6702's posts has already been publicized (ie: woods, mountains, barns which are all prevalent in this entire area).
If he/she is a true psychic then he/she should know info that has not been released and he/she should know where Kristi is now.
Posted 09/24/2009 at 10:45:59 AMI did hear that the marshals were at fires creek about a week or two ago investigating a sexual assault case. This is in the same exact area where I saw the truck. I also heard the the girls father beat the crap out of the perp. Yeah! I don't think this has anything to do with this case. However it does show that the marshals and LE are watching the area. Like I said this is just hear say but from a very reliable source. I still pray for kritis return and her family.
Posted 09/24/2009 at 11:36:45 AMTo christy in Texas, I am not surprised to read y our response at all, as far as what you think about what I am saying I have been dealing with attitudes like this for many years and its only recently that some of my own relatives are beginning to ask me what I see.
Posted 09/24/2009 at 12:02:33 PMThe truth is the world is sorely ignorant about the spirit world and life after death and its not their fault its all the teachings and brainwashing that has been fed them for years and perhaps centuries about demons and angels and the like.
And of course they have preachers and priests going to schools of higher learning and they too continue to be brainwashed and they feed this information to the sheep and they walk along with their heads in ignorant bliss and the same thing happened to Jesus and Joan of Arc and the witches of salem and it was pure disbelief and ignorance back then that caused them to Nail poor Jesus the Cross and burn Joan of Arc at the stake and burn and hang the witches of salem and it sounds like we haven't come much farther since those dark days.
To Samantha:
Its not true that I have posted only what others have said, although I have analyzed my notes and have concluded that most people have already figured out who will be charged with Kristi's murder when she is found and they prove it.
When someone like this is killed in a preplanned kidnap murder the first people that are looked or who come under suspicion are those who are closest to them, but sometimes in the case of a Hired Hit the people who hire the killers make sure they are at a safe distance and have an ironclad alabi and thats how organized crime works.
Organized crime is when three or more people get together to do these kinds of things to another human.
Some people can't afford to sully their reputations and get their own lily white hands dirty and so they hire others to do their dirty work.
In cases like this sometimes no one is ever charged because of the alibis people like this set up for themselves.
I know who did it but I am not going to put my nose out there anymore but choose to wait and follow this case now and just see where it takes LE and how it all comes to be solved.
Now Carry on because I have to work on the Kennedy Assassination because JFK and Robert Two of my Guides have said we need to do that and hopefully this time we send the Manuscripts out they won't disappear the way that one did which gives the world the details be hind the Assassination of President JFK and Former Teamster Jimmy Hoffa and others which was shown tome in Technicolor like movie pictures from the Soul Records.
The work I do is much like Edgar Cayce who was known as the Sleeping Clairvoint.
Posted 09/24/2009 at 12:15:16 PMTo CVT6702, you mentioned in an earlier post you think Kristi would be found near the holidays because you saw a silver/jingle bell. More recently you stated you think she will be found on September 30. What do you believe is the association with the bell since the end of September isn't associated with any holiday.
Posted 09/24/2009 at 12:40:11 PMI looked up silver bell on google, and it is a tree indigenous to North Carolina. "Leaves on the ground" have been mentioned by several psychics that I've read regards this case. It may be nothing at all but I did find it interesting.
Posted 09/24/2009 at 06:03:34 PMThe "Mountain Silver Bell" tree grows in N.C., GA and TN. See botany.com.
Posted 09/24/2009 at 07:00:18 PMI didn't know about the Silver tree and when I saw the silver bell I just assumed it meant the holidays so I posted that then a few days later in a Psychic Message I saw the figures 9/30/09 and earlier I had said she would be found by a hunter so I guess I will just have to wait and see how those psychic messages work out.
In one message as I wrote earlier I saw Kristi coming out of a wooded area and of course there could be silver bell trees there?
Posted 09/24/2009 at 07:33:13 PMPlease skip this post if you don't want to read this..but it is a interesting read. For several days I have had this strong feeling that Kristi was going to be found real soon. The feeling is very strong. But please just skip over this for this is purely answers by chance, for I know it is a bit hokey to have done this...but I went to a site where you can get free tarot readings, etc..they have a simple yes and no where you can ask questions. I asked it very simple questions that can be answered by a yes or no, sometimes I repeated the question further on. So this is exactly what the answers were..I left them in the order I asked them and tried to compact them a bit to make it a easier read.
Again, just skip this and go to next post if you think it is to silly or nutso to post. But here it is..and I admit a few things I have to raise my eye brow at and dont' understand...but well..this is it.
--
the Abductor wears a watch but no other jewelery. Kristi will be found within 7 days. Abductor has hurt a woman before, a wife, who is dead but he did not kill her.
Someone in Kristi's family, friends or Davis family, friends know the abductor, ( I narrowed it down to her dad, and it was some sort of military connection and her dad likes him. He is not in the reserves.). Abductor's parents are dead. No one paid or asked him to abduct Kristi. He will be found out by a tipster who is a male and someone that works with abductor. He owns a business and is a painter.
The tipster turns him in for the reward. No one else suspects the abductor. He is a loner , but does go to bars and drinks, he does not smoke but he does chew. The tipster will provide info but not really good info but it will still be how Kristi is found.
The abductor was mad at Kristi, sexually attracted to her and wanted her for himself. He will hurt someone again before he is captured. He did not mean to actually kill her, but he is not sorry for his actions. He is dangerous to other women, but he is sexually impotent.
She was killed right away and is in a building, she is wrapped in something and is not alive. She will be found by LE thru a tip but tipster is not involved.
The abductor is over 50, a loner, she did not know him and he did not know her personally. He did stalk her. He lives in the area, he is white man, and does not work in the area, he also is not native the area and has not lived there long. He has very short , bald or shaved head.
He has tattoos that are visible with a short sleeved shirt on, the tattoo is military in nature. The car he used is still in the area, it is not a suv and is not gold and it is not a truck.
LE will find the abductor, he has not done this before, he planned to kill Kristi, but did not rape her. She will be found in south east Georgia..or south east of where she was abducted from . Someone in her family or friends knows the abductor. Davis did not have anything to do with the
abduction, but he does know where the place is she will be found.
She was abducted by one person. He is not married now but was. He has never killed anyone before, he has never been arrested. He has a computer and talked to Kristi on the computer, he did not meet her on a website, nor did he exchange emails, he did not instant message her and did not know her from school..(????)..(dont know about this,maybe they talked using skypes)
He wears glasses, is tall , not nice looking, no beard and brown eyes. He lives in a house but not close by Kristi's moms. He owns a business and has employees, he is a painter, he abducted her at that time because she was walking alone. There is no evidence in his home but some in his car. She will be found within 45 minutes of the abduction site in a white barn that can be seen from the road. It was a farm but is no longer farmed, there are no houses and the barn cannot be seen from other peoples property lines. There is working farm equipment but it is not used and there are no crops. Not many people know the barn is there. The barn is owned by the abductor who used to be a farmer, he has children under adult age and does not live with them. He does not have any close friends, and went to school in the area of Kristi's moms home.
He does not look weird or suspicious , he had no valid reason to be in the abduction area. He is not sane, is a loner, no girlfriend and a wife that died. He has a boyfriend (????? huh...that doesn't fit well), hates women, goes to church, sometimes even goes to Davis church. He sings country music, wears a ball cap, jeans and white tennis shoes and wears dentures.
END
I KNOW this is very far fetched but as I went along a character image emerged from this..and though it is redundant at times and sometimes makes no real sense..that is the exact way I asked the questions and the answers it supplied. I have read several "predictions" where a barn was mentioned...and here it is again.
Posted 09/24/2009 at 07:53:40 PMJOAN! Thank you for this post. I am no psychic but have been "struck to the heart" by this case. I have had very crisp visions/dreams of exactly what "appears to be" Kristi's demise. It haunts me daily, nightly, no matter how much work I have/need to do, or what else is going on, this is with me constantly.
I have not wanted to acknowledge the "silver bell", because what I see is a silver bell being rung when she is found. As if searchers or hunters had a bell to ring to alert others that they "got something, shot something", not connected to trees or holidays but "alert".
I could not conect "paint", "dentures", "military", "tattoos" and "homosexual interests" but sensed/saw these things. The barn I consistently see is unpainted but there is paint there. Unused equipment, but the equipment in my vision is BIG, land grading equipment, yellow.
I had the anger toward women/projected to Kristi, someone close, a desperate need to control. I thought the woman involved was a girlfriend but from your information, could be a daughter, perhaps an abused young woman, daughter, another victim of control for the perpetrator. Totally not someone, anyone would/does suspect. Yet they "see" them often?
I think I have wavered about the opinion of DD's involvement because of the influence of "religion", "church", "music" I see in the perpetrator. However, bald, non descript, non threatening all fit the images/dreams/visions that come to me.
I too suggest that you not read this if you don't like it. I have frequently not posted because of the negative feedback. However, the idea here is to explore possibilities and keep "thinking" on how this case can be resolved.
I pray for Kristi, her safe return, Gods will and especially for her family. I do not believe Kristi "faked an abduction", that scenario would have been resolved by now. She needs the continued support of all who love her, those swarn to protect her and those of us who want justice.
Posted 09/24/2009 at 11:17:26 PMDawn...I wasn't brave enough to post anything like this earlier for I know it must sound just absolutely ridiculous to a lot of people and I'm pretty low key and though I have many opinions, I also am willing to explore all possibilities when you have a situation like this.
NO news being released does not help find Kristi. I do not shut my mind to any clue , thought or suggestion and none of us should, for something one of us may post, may trigger a thought or reaction that could in turn lead to something important.
Posted 09/24/2009 at 11:55:33 PMI think its good that people posting their thoughts, dreams and hunches because as we know quite often a detective working on a case will say he had a hunch.
Sometimes we are not sure where these thoughts, feelings and ideas come from but they come to us for a reason and we need to analyze them and share them because this is also how people sometimes begin to realize they are getting information in dreams and visions that come to pass.
We will for example see ourselves our a friend or relative in an accident and we will just think its a dream but then the event happens and we know we were getting a psychic look into the future and if we had only shared that dream or feeling with them whether it comes true or not doesn't hurt, because sometimes it might save the persons life.
For example once I saw my granddaughter in a fatal accident in the future and it terrified me but I told her about this and told her to be careful about driving in the rain when her car would go airborn and she would strike a tree and be killed.
Not long after that she was driving home on such a night and hit the wa ter just as I had seen and she said when this happened it popped into her mind what i had told her and in frnt of her was a tree and a telephone pone and she headed for the opening between the pole and tree and she said and I think that is what saved me.
Another time I saw my sister getting killed in an accident and I told her then one night as she came home from work a car in front of her hit a telephone pole and it fell and she said when I saw that pole falling I said should I stop or go fast and I decided to keep going and the pole fell right where I would have stopped.
I did not save her life but by telling her what was in the future when the situation presented itself she remembered and made a decision on her own how to react to it.
You may think this has nothing to do with Kristi but what it does have to do with is hunches, dreams and visions that most of us get at one time or the other.
I believe we all have a psychic gift is we choose to develop it and we can do that by reading others who have been successful in doing this like edgar cayce and others who I used to think was strange but i read about how edgar did it and soon I found I could do some of the things he did and now he is no longe strange and mysterious but like him when i try to tell people some of the things I can do as a psychic they quite often tell me I am imagining things or that I am dillussional and they did that to him and other psychics.
All I am saying is keep an open mind, and if we don't believe something can happen then we can always try to prove these things by experimenting.
I for example when a case like this crops up I read the story, and touch the victims picture and send thoughts and questions to a place I know as the Akaskic Records or soul records in the spirit world that can look into the past and the future then I wait for things to come to me in dreams, visions and thoughts that pop into my head and it comes in bits and pieces and over time forms a story about what happened.
I too have picked up that kristi was held in a barn for a time and at least two other people have said the same thing here but sometimes we describe the farm and barn a little differently and that because quite often we get bits and pieces of these pictures and by comparing notes we understand a little better.
That is what happened to me about the Silver bell and when someone said silver bell tree I believe where kristi is there will be some of these kinds of trees.
The routes written in some of these posts about routes and roads I believe within the preminter of these routes and road names that this other psychic mentioned is where kristi will be located and I base that on a case she commented on in michigan where a little girl had been abducted and murdered and that psychic predicted right on the button where fishermen found that little girl.
I believe you might like to go to the website that Gail St. John from Toledo, Ohio has and see what she predicts in her writings about Kristi and what happened to her and where she will be found.
Just search words:
Posted 09/25/2009 at 04:37:08 AMPsychic Gail St. John her site is interesting and I have absolutely no personal connection to her but am following some of her predictions and she is quite good.
I had never heard the word silver bell tree before seeing it posted here but I looked it up on line and it says in part: "..grows in moist soils along sreams in he understory of hardwod forests..."
Many other posters here have mentioned such conditions in which they feel Kristi's body will be found including me, but we are dealing with many miles and vast forests and mountain ranges in these three states, and finding one small women in such an area is not going to be easy for anyone including the authorities looking for her and it could be the only way she will be found is if he hunters or hikers come upon her remains, and of course the killers who put her there hope she will never be found.
Our search for Kristi might work like one of those games they set up on the inernet at times where people post clues and people try to follow them to the object they are in search of.
But could some of these discussions and tips and peoples abilities to search through google maps and routes and landmarks here posted by psychics and others with the help of searchers in that area actually find Kristi?
Posted 09/25/2009 at 11:32:27 AMcvt6702 PLEASE stop posting dribble about your personal thoughts, weird life experiences, fantasy dreams, and trying to focus attention on yourself.
For the people who live in the area... how many hunters on average are up and out in this region at this time of year?
Curious.
Posted 09/25/2009 at 05:26:34 PMI hope some hunters search Jones Creek Terrace, still thinking about that area, where it dead ends. The house or structure is to the left, back in the woods off the road.
Posted 09/25/2009 at 10:10:28 PMChristy in Texas-please try to open your mind a little, and if you can't do that, then don't read the posts you call "dribble", it's really that simple. I am skeptical of psychics, but we all know that the human brain is extremely complex and we use only a small percentage of it, so who are you to say some of these people can't possibly be tapping into something that most of us are unable or unwilling to see? If just one out of maybe thousands can actually help find a missing person, then what's the harm?
Chill, sister!
Posted 09/26/2009 at 01:44:18 PMFor those who doubt that Kristi as enrolled in college today a woman appeared and said:
Posted 09/26/2009 at 04:39:04 PM"I had gone to School" said in a tone as if to ask why don't they believe me.
She has been reading some of the websites where people are posting their doubt that she was even enrolled in college.

She had tried to enroll for the fall semester but her paperwork was somehow lost in the process ... she had been attending a college in Dalton GA and had an apartment there.
I really can't make sense out of your post above .... why in the world would she lie about attending college ?????
Posted 09/26/2009 at 05:04:15 PMTo Samantha:
I'm sorry I didn't make my post clear, what I was trying to make known is the woman who spoke to me from Beyond the Veil of death known as the Spirit World was Kristi speaking to me to verify that yes she was enrolled in college and she said that to me after we were over on another board reading about her case and someone speculated as to whether she was in college or not.
It has now been verified that Kristi is indeed in the spirit world because she has appered to me several times.
The other day she said something that I don't understand when she said:
"You don't know Cody"?
I am not sure what she meant by that and she has not said anything further to clarify that to me at this time but perhaps more will be forthcoming as time goes on.
After that I said come to think of it in his job at the prison he would have access to people who had been in prison but now have been released and of course that goes for many people.
Personally from my psychic messages I had been analyzing I had been learning towards someone else who also has an alabi.
Posted 09/27/2009 at 03:49:20 PMI believe from analyzing my psychic messages further and symbols I have drawn that we are wanting to focus on Mary King Mountain near Blairsville.
I have been looking at a google map that focus on the area and studying my map and notes from the other day and I am going to the right or east of route 129 towards Blairsville as to where Kristi is predicted to be located, and of course I have no idea just how to pinpoint the spot but I believe we are interested in this area and this direction.
I wanted to write that because in earlier posts I see that other psychics also focused on routes 129 and 19 and other things in this general area.
What I am posting may or may not help but I will continue to see what else I can learn from my Psychic source who has been around today and tomorrow I am going to the Auto Club and get a better map of Georgia and the Blairsville area and see if I can better pinpoint this.
Posted 09/27/2009 at 05:11:37 PMI am in hayesville and our paper reported she was 3.5 miles from her house. Do I understand that she was that far from home and it was 9:30 pm and obviously dark out?
Posted 09/27/2009 at 07:09:23 PMI also don't understand why a person with a "law" background would not have yelled, "Its 2 men, one is blonde, etc etc."
This is just a horrible case and so much that just doesn't make sense.
Are you talking about Mary King Mountain, N.C. Because, there is a route to it from where she disappeared. The road 325, where here phone was found, intersects with 11/19/129 to NC. From there you can connect with Martins Creek Rd which leads up to Mary King Mounain Dr and to Mary King Mountain. This is less than 1/2 hour from Jones Creek Rd, GA.
Posted 09/27/2009 at 09:21:00 PMKay...She was just down the road from her home. Her cell was found 3.5 miles from the scene of the abduction. The paper was wrong with its information.
Susan...I too have wondered about Mary King Mountain after it was suggested many posts ago when the US Marshalls searched Kings Mt, NC.
CVT6702...I heard what Gail St. John said during a show with Brian L. During the show one of hercomments was "north of Owltown". She also said musty smell, 19, 129, 17, 180. I saw on a map that 17 runs north out of Helen towards Hiawassee, Ga. 17 also comes into Blairsville from Young Harris. Cannot find where it goes after that. You should look at Brian's Dream, I believe show #131 or #132. There were several. Gail said she'd work on narrowing the area down, but I've heard nothing since.
I looked on Gail St. John's web site. I cannot find what, you were talking about....quote: "I believe you might like to go to the website that Gail St. John from Toledo, Ohio has and see what she predicts in her writings about Kristi and what happened to her and where she will be found". WHERE IS THAT INFORMATION???? I'd like to read it.
Posted 09/27/2009 at 11:24:11 PMI haven't been to Gails site in quite some time but read on this site that someone had mentioned route 129 and 19 as I recall and when I went to my map I realized I too had been focusing on this area.
I am working from an atlas and its hard to focus in on a small area but my source in the spirit world has been drawing areas on my map and showing me things and I just draw on the map.
Yesterday for example I went to my map which I have been writing on with the information he gives me and I focused on route 129 which says on the map is also called Blairsville Highway and suddenly I went to the right as I headed into blairsville and I appeared to zero in on a site say within a mile or so of the highway but just where it is in between Blairsville and route 19 I don't know since its hard to go from a map like this doing the kind of work I am doing with my source in the spirit world.
Today I will go get a map of Georgia and see if the have a local map for Blairsville and see if I can pinpoint this any better.
In the past I have come within a mile or two of other lost peoples bodies and we will just have to wait and see if I can do it again.

-----
I don't think it was dark yet at that time of night..however I hadnt given this much thought until I read your post...
that would put her 3.5 miles from home and if she had turned around right then to walk back, I would assume it would have taken her 45 minutes or so to walk back, slower or faster depending on her pace which would have put her in total darkness to return home. I understand it is a country road with no street lights.
IN thinking that over, that seems a bit farfetched. I live in the country and I wouldnt dream of taking a walk that would end me up in total darkness, for fear of stepping into a critter hole, or tripping over something.
I wonder if she had a flash light with her? That could indicate she planned on walking in the dark..but I now I would never start out on a walk that would take me till well after dark to get back home unless I were walking in a more public and lit up area.
That may be a clue in itself..not to sure what it would indicate, other than it doesn't fit well unless the mom could tell us that it was common for her to walk after dark.
Posted 09/28/2009 at 08:50:29 AMKristi was walking on Jones Creek Rd not far from her mother's house. Her phone was found on Hwy 325 about 3.5 miles from where she was when she disappeared.
Posted 09/28/2009 at 09:26:53 AMFor "mapping" purposes, this is how it goes.
Jones Creek connects to Hwy 325 quite easily. Then Hwy 325 intersects with Hwy 11/19/129. You can go left or right onto Hwy 11/19/129 at this intersection, still in Blairsville. If you go left, you will end up in Murphy N.C., and intersect/end with Hwy 64. This route takes you pass a turn off to Mary King Mountain. If you go right back at the intersection of Hwy 325 and Hwy 11/19/129, it takes you through downtown "historic" Blairsville, around the "square" and back out. This route takes you towards Helen and the "BIG" mountain of Brasstown Bald. Very big tourist attractions. There is Mary King Mtn nearby this route that is less than 30 minutes from where Kristi disappeared. There is also a Kings Mtn NC, which is not too far away. Trying to paint a picture here. Hope I am helping.

Mary King Mountain is off hwy 19/129 not far from the flea markets in the Ranger community west of Murphy NC. It's a few miles north from the turnoff to hwy 325 (Nottely Dam Rd) where Kristi's cellphone was tossed.
It's nowhere near King's Mountain (close to Charlotte NC) where U.S. marshall's searched for Kristi after someone called America's Most Wanted to report that she would be found there. Why LE took that particular report seriously is beyond my imagination, because it turned out to be a wild goose chase.

She was not 3.5 miles from home when she was abducted, her cellphone was tossed 3.5 miles away on Nottely Dam Rd (hwy 325). At that time of year it was not quite dark ... I guess you could call it twilight.

Jones Creek connects to Hwy 325 quite easily."
You have to cross four lane 515 to get from Jones Creek Rd. to hwy 325 (Nottely Dam Rd).
Posted 09/28/2009 at 09:55:49 AMDoes anyone know how far away she was from her moms home when she was abducted...distance wise? I misunderstood the other posting and do now recall that the phone was found 3.5 miles away I think it said,from the abduction site.
I don't know the area at all, so wonder how far from her Moms home did the actual abduction take place...or was that something that was not released?

I read or heard somewhere that she wasn't far at all from her parents' home (don't know exact distance).
Posted 09/28/2009 at 12:44:56 PMI wanted to say when I offer this Psychic information I am sitting here in Ohio working from an Atlas map but today i got a map of Georgia and I am able to get closer to Blairsville on the map and get a clearer picture.
Blairsville Rd that leads into Blairsville I am somewhere along the road to the right and I believe along this area somewhere is where kristi will be found in a clump of trees.
Posted 09/28/2009 at 08:24:17 PMPerhaps tonight as I sleep after asking more questions more Psychic information will come to me.
CVT There is no Blairsville Rd in Blairsville,.......BUT, 11/19/129 N, to Murphy N.C., that is the name of that highway. Most of the highways have numbers, which stand for either county, state or federal highways. They also have names. It is Blairsville Highway from Blairsville GA to Murphy NC. It also passes Mary King Mountain. If you were to go to that mountain, you would have to take Blairsville Hwy.
Posted 09/28/2009 at 11:00:10 PMI was going from an old atlas road map I had that couuld have been years old and on it I saw route 129 and it said Blairsville highway, and so thats what I wrote but I am interested in 129.
And while it might be difficult for me to pinpoint the exact location of where Kristi's body will be found from here in Ohio where I live one of my sources in the spirit world keeps talking to me about areas east of 129 and last night he showed me a clump of trees where Kristi's body will be found.
I am not sure how far the distance is from blairsville to route 19 but he keeps showing me to the east of 129 and one time said within a mile of the highway.
That is as we head towards Blairsville from Rt. 19 to the south.
In an earlier post I said I saw Kristi just as she looked here on earth in the picture above walking out of a clump of trees and she was wearing a white blouse and a houndstooth sweater vest and wearing a long silver chain around her neck and these clothes could only be so someone recognizes these as her clothes and will believe she has appeared to me in spirit.
I sure wish I could get in my car and come to blairsville and check out the things my guides are telling me but unfortunately I don't think my old l997 car would go there without breaking down and so I will try to help as much as I can from a distance.
I am posting this information hoping that someone who is in charge of where to search might like to check these things out, or perhaps someone just reading it who lives there might like to check it out themselves but we must also keep in mind that its not a good idea to search alone because only the Killer knows where they put the body and anyone who might point a finger at them could be in danger.
I believe when her body is found there will be something with it that could lead to solving the case but only time will tell.
Posted 09/29/2009 at 05:19:37 AMno new news again today...last week I had felt so strongly she was going to be found or there would be a major break in the case within the next 7 days...most of those days are gone now and still no new news...wish my instincts had been accurate....I can't imagine the pain of her faimly, to not know where their daughter or sister is at. How can a family or loved one ever have closure ?
Posted 09/29/2009 at 06:48:55 AMOur newspaper here in town only comes out once a week, and that is today.
CVT, I'm trying to tell you that you are right. It's just the state that is wrong. 129 is Blairsville Hwy, in N.C. It starts in Murphy at the intersection of Hwy 64 and 129 and goes/comes to Blairsville. When you cross into GA it becomes Murphy Hwy .... This is all only about 30 miles from downtown Blairsville and 40 miles from where Kristi was abducted. And yes, 325 intersects with it and so does the road to Mary King Mountain.
Posted 09/29/2009 at 08:17:16 AMCVT6702: "In an earlier post I said I saw Kristi just as she looked here on earth in the picture above walking out of a clump of trees and she was wearing a white blouse and a houndstooth sweater vest ....."
Kristi was abducted August 11, 2009 during a very hot summer evening (our hottest summer temps were in August this year and that's more than likely why she was walking so late), so I doubt seriously she was wearing any sort of sweater or vest.
Posted 09/29/2009 at 09:54:58 AMSusan thank you for helping me with that.
Posted 09/29/2009 at 10:46:17 AMI will try to remember I am dealing with states that are very close together.
To Samantha: I know Kristi was not wearing that outfit all I meant is when she appeared to me in spirit she was wearing them and this is no doubt to appear in something her friends and family will recognize as something they have seen her in in the past, this is quite often what spirits do.
I first heard of Kristi's disappearance on August 15, and at that time I touched her picture in the story and ever since then I have been getting the story in visions, words and bits and pieces which I am piecing together.
In my psychic information I believe she was abducted and taken south not towards NC and at some point I saw her being held on a farm with a barn and behind the barn was an old truck that looked like an antique and it looked burned and as to whether it was ever actually burned or not? that may have been in the trucks future but whether someone has taken that action yet I am not sure.
Night before last I got out my map and I saw the route 129 leading from 19 and I was told by Spirit that Kristi will be found to the right side of that highway in a clump of wood
There are many other things I have written about here as clues that have been coming to me since this began.
When this first began I saw a man on a stool and the message was he has an alabi and someone else is doing this to Kristi for him.
Night before last I saw the stool tipped over and I assume that the person behind Kristi's abduction has been reading some of the things we are all discussing on these various websites and he is beginning to feel the heat and so what happens in the future in this case only time will tell.
The person who had Kristi abducted according to my psychic information is someone who was trying to stop her from doing something she had in mind and she was not going to let them change her mind and so for some reason that person felt they needed to stop her.
Posted 09/29/2009 at 11:08:46 AMCVT6702:
If you look at the top of this page where the map is there is a place to click that will enlarge the map. Click it. When the Google map comes up, there is a set of double arrows which makes the side bar go away (just above the informational listing for the Church). Click it. You will get more of the Google map on your screen. With your mouse, drag the map down some. On the X for the information about the Church, click it. Now look at the top of the map, to the right. Click on the Satellite button. You will then see a better image of this map. You can also push your F11 button on you Keyboard and this will hide the tool bar and make the map even bigger. If you do press F11 and you want to get back, simply press F11 again. (Please do not think I am being insulting. It wasn't until yesterday that I realized that I could get the Google map directly from this page. I am telling you this in case you didn't realize this either. I have no way of knowing whether you are familiar with the F11 function. If you are, great, but if you are unaware of it then using this function really gives a much better view. Again I am not trying to insult you or anyone else.) Anyway, follow the Hwy. information below and you will see what I am talking about. It's a lot better to look at the Google map then an atlas, or a GA map.
US Hwys are in a shield, State Hwys are in an oval.
Heading North, Hwy 19 comes out of Dahlonega. (Dahlonega is North & West of Gainesville, GA. Taking 19 North from Dahlonega, 19 will merge & follow the same roadway as 9 & 60. 9/19/60 fork several miles north of Dahlonega with 60 going to the left (westerly) and 9/19 going to the right (easterly). At Turners Corner, which is at the base of the "Mountains" (or South of the Mountains) 9 ends & 19 merges with 11/129 which has come North from Gainesville, Ga. 11/19/129 ALL cross the "Mountain" on one roadway. Once over the "Mountain" (to the North of the Mountains) another road runs for a short distance with 11/19/129 and that is 180. 180 merges from the West with these routes at Vogel State Park. A couple of miles north of Vogel, 180 turns to the East (right). (FYI: 180 goes past the road (180 Spur) which takes you to Brasstown Bald Mountain. 180 continues on and ends at 17/75 or Unicoi Turnpike that has headed North from Helen, Ga. towards Hiawassee, Ga.) 11/19/129 continues North to Blairsville. 11/19/129 continue North out of Blairsville towards NC. At the GA/NC State Line 11 (a GA Hwy) ends. 19/129 continues into NC to where it intersects with 64/74 at Ranger. 19/129 turns East (joins) on 64/74 towards Murphy.
19/129 is also referred to as:
Murphy Hwy
when you are going North from Blairsville towards Murphy NC
Blairsville Hwy
when you are heading South from Ranger (19/129-64/74 intersection) towards Blairsville.
BUT once you cross the GA/NC State Line, the map shows 19/129 as Murphy Hwy in GA & Blairsville Hwy in NC).
Gainesville Hwy
when you head South from Blairsville towards Gainesville, Ga (Also called Cleveland Street in Blairsville)
Basically, the roads are "locally" called "Town or City Hwy" when you are going towards THAT Town or City and it can get pretty confusing when you cross State Lines or even County Lines.
Hope the information above helps you clear up any mis-information or confusion about routes and road names. I think if you use the information about the roads above and the Google map at the top of this page everything will become crystal clear. I'm only trying to help.
Susan, Blairsville is accurate with the road/hwy names. I just got a lot more percise.
Posted 09/29/2009 at 03:20:29 PMCVT6702:
With regards to Mary King Mountain:
Mary King Mountain is located in NC. If you were going on 19/129 N (from Blairsville) and entered the State of NC, within a few miles you would need to turn right off of 19/129 (Blairsville Hwy) onto Martins Creek Road (NC State Road 1556). Follow NC 1556 until you come to Mary King Mountain Drive. Turn left. Mary King Mountain Drive becomes Holly Berry Drive and kind of makes a semi-circle around part of Mary King Mountain. If you pull the Google map above, like I suggested you do for 19/129 information in my post above, you can type where it says Google Maps -- Mary King Mountain, Murphy, NC. You will get a map with a red flag for Mary King Mountain. Quite a while ago Samantha posted that you got to Mary King Mountain by taking Hedden Road. Yes, going south from Murphy (Ranger) on 19/129 you could turn on Hedden Road (NC Hwy 1580), but you would need to turn right onto Martin Church Road (NC Hwy 1581) and then another right onto Martins Creek Road (NC Hwy 1556) to get to Mary King Mountain which would now be a right turn because you are too far East of Mary King Mountain Drive on Martins Creek Road.
Again, only trying to help.
Posted 09/29/2009 at 04:28:48 PMI know this is pretty hokey...but everyday for the last ten days or so I go to this site where you can ask yes or no questions..now I know this is all chance...I am not being silly about it for I KNOW it is just a game. But what caused me to go there was this strong feeling for the last week or 10 days that kristi was going to be found very soon.
So every day I go there and ask a few questions so that the question I am really wondering about is not asked as the first question each time..so it is mixed up a bit.
I ask pretty much the same question..my basic question is, "Will Kristi be found soon?" And every single time I have done this, mo matter if it is the first question or the fourth, the answer is always "YES".
Kid stuff and silly game..ABSOLUTELY, but it is really strange and the odds of always getting a yes for that question has to be tremendous due to the fact that I may ask two or three other questions of different things before I ask it. I have asked that question maybe 8 or 9 times with the same YES answer. I asked again to day if she would be found this month and it answered yes.
Well if that were to happen...it has to happen quickly..only one more day to go....to bad we can't solve all the crimes and sorrows of this world with a yes or no game on the internet.
Posted 09/29/2009 at 04:44:53 PMI came across this update on Kristi and found the info about where she went to college and where she worked at in the past few years very interesting. I hope we find her soon.
http://www.ajc.com/news/faith-helps-family-of-123729.html
Posted 09/29/2009 at 11:11:26 PMI don't know why the instructions were given up above with directions from Gainsville and Dahlonega. Those cities are over an hour away and irrevelant. The only exception being coming out of Dahlonega you come over Blood Mountain to Blairsville or to Helen or Brasstown Bald and Hiawassee and either way you can enter N.C. Blood Mountain has not been talked about in this case.
Posted 09/29/2009 at 11:42:14 PMI also found this info about where the mountain was that was searched, hope it helps find Kristi

Posted 09/30/2009 at 12:01:24 AMSusan, Blairsville:
"I don't know why the instructions were given up above with directions from Gainsville and Dahlonega. Those cities are over an hour away and irrevelant.'
Yes, the cities of Gainesville and Dahlonega are irrelevant, BUT THE ROUTES ARE NOT. Yes, Blood Mountain has not been talked about as a possible location but Blood Mountain is relevant to the route of US Hwys 19 & 129.
I merely tried to give a complete visual of the way the roads converged from the "south" and over the mountain to Blairsville. If you read CVT6702's earlier post on 09/29/2009 at 11:08:46 AM there was confusion about where 19 fit into 129 south of Blairsville. CVT6702 also stated that "Night before last I got out my map and I saw the route 129 leading from 19 and I was told by Spirit that Kristi will be found to the right side of that highway in a clump of wood" Also stated, "In my psychic information I believe she was abducted and taken south not towards NC..." That is why I gave detailed 19 & 129 directions from Dahlonega and Gainesville. The ONLY reason these Cities were mentioned was that they are large enough on a Georgia Map to be easily found by someone not familiar with this area. Also to show how 19 & 129 "come together" and cross over Blood Mountain "together". It is my impression from what was posted that CVT6702 felt Kristi was taken South, not North of Blairsville.
In another post CVT6702 mentions Gail St. John and her pyschic ideas of Kristi's location. CVT6702 has previously stated that their beliefs of Kristi's location are similar with 19/129/180/17 and 75, & the town of Helen. Gail St. John also said the words Owltown, and musty smell. Brian L also has 19/129/180/17. You might want to Google Brian's Dream and look at the shows, I believe there are 4, that deal with Kristi's abduction and Gail St. John's predictions/speculation of location. Then you will understand why I gave CVT6702 percise road information "South" of Blairsville.
you stated:
"...coming out of Dahlonega you come over Blood Mountain to Blairsville or to Helen or Brasstown Bald and Hiawassee and either way you can enter N.C." ..... HUH? What do you mean, "either way you can enter NC?" How do you get to NC either way? I'm really confused as I've been in this area my whole life I haven't a clue what you mean.
I'm sorry you find my post irrelevant, but the information was for CVT6702 to help clear up some confusion they were having. If I had an alternate form of communication I certainly wouldn't have bored you with that post.
Posted 09/30/2009 at 01:55:57 AMTo Susan:
Thank you for the advice on the map I am not too good on the computer and know only the basics for getting on and writing in my blog and visiting some of the sites but I am learning.
I am also happy to have someone from your area giving me instructions that does help.
From what I am learning your area is a vast area of mountains and woods and the people searching for Kristi or anyone else under those conditions has their work cut out for them.
From what I see on the few pictures I have seen with the changing colors yours is a beautiful place and I wouldn't doubt if this story as tragic as it is brings a lot more tourists to the area during the changing colors in fall and the mountain flowers and greenery in spring.

The Blue Ridge Mountains and the Smokey Mountains (this area) have always been tourist destinations, especially in the Fall when the leaves change colors.
Major tourist destinations are Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge TN across the Great Smokey Mountain National Park from Cherokee NC (also a tourist destination with Harrah's Casino) that's approximately 60 miles east of Murphy NC going through the Nantahala Mountains, gorge and river that also attracts thousands of tourists, kayakers and white water rafters each year as does the Ocoee River west of Murphy in TN famous for being the site of the 1996 Olympics in kayaking and white water rafting.
We've seen many parts of this great country, but to us this area is the most beautiful and peaceful that we've witnessed, the reason we retired here and that makes the Emerson, Cornwell and the Murphy stalker of the jogger cases that much more bizarre ... those cases are like something you'd see in major metro areas or states like Florida or cities like Atlanta, but not in these beautiful rural mountains.
Posted 09/30/2009 at 11:00:11 AMSamantha, you forgot the Bryant's and also the girl who disappeared in Bryson City several years ago, I can't recall her name at the moment. I know that Gary Michael Hilton is a POI in the Bryant's case, and it is also possible he is being looked at for the girl's disappearance in Bryson City. These three acts of violence also are in our area, though not nearly as close. We do live in "God's Country". I too have been all around this country but my heart has always been right here, in Blairsville.
Posted 09/30/2009 at 02:19:24 PMThey just discovered a "camp" belonging to they believe Hilton... was found by hunter(s).
Posted 09/30/2009 at 03:17:15 PMWe evidently didn't live in the area when the girl disappeared from Bryson City .... we did live here when the Bryant case occurred not long before the Emerson abduction ... Hilton would have had to practically pass our house since he tried to use the Bryant's ATM card in Ducktown, TN .... it's a scary thought that such evil could be that close.
Posted 09/30/2009 at 03:17:44 PMSusan, Blairsville said:"They just discovered a "camp" belonging to they believe Hilton... was found by hunter(s)."
Is it another Hilton camp or the same one a hunter found a couple of weeks ago ???
Posted 09/30/2009 at 03:20:30 PM“The call said to check a specific road for Kristi Cornwell,” Bankhead said Monday. “It's just one of many tips.” This came from the link provided by Calif Sharon. Thanks for the link!
I had not heard this before. I did hear the speculation about Kings Mountain and Mary King Mountain. I wonder if there is a road on both mountains that share a name?
Posted 09/30/2009 at 03:22:04 PMCVT6702, you sensed Kristi would be found today. With several more hours until midnight it's still possible, but I'm wondering if now have a different vision. Thanks.
Posted 09/30/2009 at 04:13:08 PMjadensmokes:
Posted 09/30/2009 at 05:57:45 PMI wish that article had included the road name. I too wondered if both "King" mountains have a name in common. Again LE will not disclose any information that could possible help in finding Kristi. Very sad.
No I have had no more predictions for when she will be found.
The day I saw the number 9/30/ after I had been meditating on the case I just assumed that might when it will be.
I sure wish I lived near there so I could go check out the spots the spirits are telling me about south of Blairsville and off Rt. 129.
I have listed this again since I read above about the tips LE has been getting and I thought maybe someone would want to look there if they haven't already done so.

"I sure wish I lived near there so I could go check out the spots the spirits are telling me about south of Blairsville and off Rt. 129."
If you could pin point these spots or be a more specific I'm sure I could give the information to local LE. South of Blairsville, off 129 still covers a vast amount of area, mostly heavily wooded.
When I gave you the explicit road information and google map hints I was hoping you'd be able to use this information to come real close to finding Kristi. Hopefuly you will be able to do so.
Posted 09/30/2009 at 08:29:37 PMFrom the two links I posted, we know that Kristi worked for Home Depot for several months or years and at the Sheriff's Dept. She shared custody with her son's dad, and was in college but was on summer break for four weeks and had not registered for the fall semester, her mother said she was visiting the first four weeks in August. She walked the road in question often, and her cell phone was found 1.5 miles from where she was believed to have been taken. On the link I find it suspicious that DD refused to give any info to the media. I did find that he said a car was following Kristi and she was afraid of it. This is different from the report of a car coming down the road and she was moving off the road for it.
Posted 09/30/2009 at 09:36:19 PMI am not real familiar with the area "south", and I don't remember who made the earlier posting..... but what about the remark about "Owltown". It is to the south and also off of 11/129.
Posted 09/30/2009 at 09:48:04 PMI was thinking of Kristi off and on all day yesterday and when I went to sleep I actually dreamed that she was found last night..she must have been deep in my thoughts for me to have a dream with her in it...but I see there is no news again so far today.
I so wish she would be found.
The more I think about it, the more I think there just had to be more than one abductor, she was not a tiny person and in a one on one situation, Kristi could have been quite capable of holding her own..but what really sways my thoughts to multiple abductors, is the phone being tossed out of the car. One person driving, another person subduing her in the car, and finding the phone and tossing it out the window...I read she had a head set on or blue tooth and they may have taken a minute or so to find the actual phone and toss it which would put them further down the road, possibly the 3.5 miles where they found the phone.
Posted 10/01/2009 at 08:09:43 AMI sooo want them to find Kristi..I know the a lot of the public has forgotten about her, only a few people post here anymore..so hard to keep the public interest when so many other horrific incidents have occurred since her disapparearne (the Gee family murders)..but the few of us that stay here and post must do our best to keep public awareness up...Kristi deserves it..her family deserves it.
calif sharon said:"On the link I find it suspicious that DD refused to give any info to the media."
In defense of Davis, he mentioned that he couldn't give out any more info due to the ongoing investigation. It's LE that's holding any information that could be helpful to the public in finding Kristi.
Posted 10/01/2009 at 10:04:50 AMAlso, I don't know how hwy 129 south got into the picture .... hwy 325 (Nottely Dam Rd) that intersects with 19/129 would be north of where Kristi was abducted and where the phone was tossed, not south. Had the perps turned south on 129 they would have ended up in the middle of Blairsville, which would seem is not where they wanted to go. I definitely think it was someone that knew the area well and knew that Nottely Dam Rd. bypassed Blairsville.
Posted 10/01/2009 at 10:12:05 AMHwy 129 runs north to NC or south back through Blairsville. Yes, it intersects with 325 at a signal light. If the abductors turned left, they would go north on 129. However, if they turned right, they would double back on 129 south..... into or through Blairsville. Maybe they did not want to sit through a "red light" with a struggling abductee in their car...... so turned right. A reference was made earlier to Owltown, which there is an Owltown Rd off of 129 S and near routes to Helen, which was also mentioned in earlier posts. CVT also talks about 129S.
Posted 10/01/2009 at 11:42:36 AMI agree Samantha, because I think a stranger would have turned onto the 4 lane hwy and maybe headed to Blue Ridge. Yes, it is someone that knows the area, but still could have turned right onto 129 and doubled back. Samantha and Sandy, are you also residents of GA. I am less than 5 miles from where Kristi was abducted. I so pray they find her soon.
Posted 10/01/2009 at 12:21:11 PMI live in the Ranger community (west of Murphy) in NC and am approximately 25-30 miles from Blairsville and we have travelled 19/129 several times going to Blairsville.
Yes, they could have doubled back turning right from 325 onto 19/129 going back into Blairsville, but it's my reasoning that they didn't want to go through Blairsville (the town) since they might have been seen, and they could have easily gone straight on 515 to get to Blairsville instead of taking Nottely Dam Rd. (325) and doubling back.
Posted 10/01/2009 at 02:09:25 PMOr like the majority of local's think she could have set the entire thing up, I'm told it wouldn't have been the first time she dissapeared for a few months. Everything is just to convenient, witness on the cell phone, cell phone found in a friend of the family's yard. Walking in flip flops, no flashlight and yes it was getting dark by 9:00pm on August 11.
That is the reason nobody including LE are talking about this case, and you still see young ladies walking jones creek in the evenings alone.
Sorry ladies but LE isn't worried, the family isn't updating their site or keeping Kristi in the public eye obviously they aren't worried either.
If the family isn't pushing for information why anyone else outside the family.
Posted 10/01/2009 at 04:25:22 PMJust my thoughts here,they know where she is and she will be comming home guess we'll all have to sit back wait and see.

Do you have verifiable information that this has happened before .... if so, please post it, or is is just rumor ???
Posted 10/01/2009 at 06:18:49 PMAlmost every business that you enter has a flier posted and the newspaper has a story and a copy of the flier printed in it every week.

Posted 10/02/2009 at 12:19:06 AMwould appreciate it if you would elaborate on this...what exactly have you heard and where did you hear it? You are implying that local people are all assuming it was a set up and that she has ran off before or done something similar in the past????? Can you be more precise than that?
This is not about Kristi..but if your following the Gee Family murders in Illinois...they arrested the ex son-in-law for the horrible murders this afternoon
Posted 10/02/2009 at 12:20:19 AMI personally don't believe Kristi set this up, but I base it on the kinds of Psychic Information I have been getting.
Other Psychics have also posted and as far as I can tell they also don't believe this is a setup.
Posted 10/02/2009 at 08:37:23 AMI think when deer/gun hunting season opens in Oct, there will be many more hunters in the area with more opportunity of finding Kristi. CVT is it possible that the 9-30 was 'time' and not date?
Posted 10/02/2009 at 06:13:41 PMHummmmmm...phone found in the yard of a family friend. I did not know the man whose yard the phone was found in was a family friend. Too convenient wouldn't you say?
Susan, I am a Blairsville resident. I live .5 miles from where the cell was found and about 4 miles from the scene of the abduction. The phone found only 1 mile from the 4-lane has always bothered me. That yard is always mowed to the road and there is no drop off like on other parts of 325. I have always felt that perhaps the location was a "red herring" to send LE in one direction while the abductor(s) were going in a different one. Also, if the person is familiar with the roads in Union County, it is NOT DIFFICULT to by-pass the City of Blairsville by using side roads. Continuing on past the sight where the phone was found, 325 comes to a stop sign. Turning left does end up at 10/129 N by Poteet's old store. But if you turn right, that is where Pat Colwell begins and the other end puts you on 19/129 not to far from town. There is a road not to far before Pat Colwell ends at 19/129 called the "K" Road. That comes out at the 4-lane (By the new Walmart). If you cross the 4-Lane on "K" Road will end at 76. If you cross 76 onto Mulky Gap it will take you to 19/129 south of town, comming out on 19/129 right about Owltown. But you have to know the turn offs. Its been years since I've been that way and I'd probably get lost if I tried it now. This is just one example of how to get south of town without going through town. You could use back roads to get from 325 to East of town too. It's not hard to get around the area without going through town if your local and have played on the back roads for years.
Posted 10/02/2009 at 09:40:23 PMYes, Sandy, I did not know where the phone was found was a friend. I have not been by there. It sounds like you live on the west side of the 4 lane, where as I live on the east side of it. Thanks for the "backroads" info. I am only a 1 year resident of Blairsville, so I'm mostly familiar with the "main" roads. Also, I have friends in Murphy, so go that way a lot and to the Murphy Walmart. I am sure it is easy to get deliberately "lost" on all of these backroads and come out exactly where you want to be...........
Posted 10/02/2009 at 09:52:51 PMSusan: "I am sure it is easy to get deliberately "lost" on all of these backroads and come out exactly where you want to be..........."
You aren't kidding!!! My "ex-future son-in-law" use to get a real charge out of trying to get me "lost". So I've been on most of the back roads in Union County, but like I said its been years ago. By the way he only got me lost 2 times!!!
Posted 10/02/2009 at 11:48:49 PMI posted on here once before. I am a psychic who
Posted 10/03/2009 at 05:57:39 PMteaches other psychics. I don't charge for work on
Missing Persons cases. In fact, I have just started a
website where psychics can volunteer to help in these
cases. I have listed Kristi's case on there.
www.psychictrails.ning.com
My brother was missing back in the late l960's and
I was frantic. He was found by the police in Haight Ashbury.
This is one reason I have so much compassion for the family
in a situation like this. It was horrible not knowing where
he was and how he was.
I have repeatedly given my visions to various LE
groups...(GBI), and others...but no one calls me back or
acknowledges it. Thats OK. I know they have their priorities.
I will give you some of my current feelings. I feel she
is still alive. I feel she was taken by a former prison/
parole client. I feel she was taken south to the state of
Alabama and is in the mountains in a hunter's cabin. I feel
the guy goes out to a convenience store from time to time
to get food and check the news...to see if anyone is hot
on him. I feel the cabin is very rustic, with a creek to
the left forming a half circle around it...curving from
southwest to northeast. I see tall trees around the cabin,
but relatively little underbrush. In my vision, he was
driving a black sedan...about 5 years old. I see it parked
by the cabin with Georgia license plates.
I felt he took her with a gun and also had a knife.
I feel she is possibly in Coosa County, north of Montgomery.
I feel that the cabin is in National Forest property.
No running water, no heat. (If not that county, then
Taladega County, possbily near Cross Pines.). I feel
that the cabin is on the left side of the two lane
highway which runs north and south, heading deep into the
national forest.
I feel the guy is middle eastern, (or looks it), was
meticulous about his grooming...very perfectly groomed
thin mustache, etc. I see medium build, dark straight hair (either cut short or slightly balding), age about 35-40....I feel
he stalked her and was watching her and planned this.
I feel the guy was a former hunter and had some friends who knew of the cabin from about 4- 8 years ago. I feel if someone were to research the hunting licenses of the parolees from Alabama ..or from those who had friends in
Alabama, they'd find him quite easily.
I feel he hates his mother and Kristi reminds him of his mother. I feel he has no plan to kill her, but is just
waiting to be found. I feel he expects an ambush and is
setting up "Death by Cop"...a kind of passive suicide.
I feel at this time, his hair has grown out, he has a
beard, and wears a black hat, faded blue jeans and a dark
shirt/jacket. I feel he always buys beer in light colored
cans when he goes to the Convenience store, possibly just
bought a thick novel...mystery theme, and easy to fix food.
He buys a paper to see whats going on and see if people
are "on his trail".
I feel the convenience store may have a small post
office in it, and also a TV and he may hang around to try
to catch a bit of news when he stops in. But not sure about
the P.O. and TV.
I feel that when he leaves the woods, he turns right on
the main road to get to the Convenience store on the right
side of the road. I feel its only about 2- 3 miles to the
Convenience store once hes on the main road. I feel his cabin is about two miles back in the woods on a dirt road that is not overgrown but has dusty brown dirt.
I feel that a SWAT team will capture him and that
Kristi and her boyfriend will write an inspirational book
about their ordeal when this is over.
I feel she is too afraid and too weak to get away...but
engages him in conversation and tries to counsel him to
keep him calm and not hurt her excessively.
Other cases I have worked on: Jacob Wetterling.
Years ago...child abducted in Minnesota/Wisconsin area.
I saw that he would be "found 100 miles south of where he
was abducted at a 7/11". He temporarily escaped his
abductor and called for help 100 miles south of where he
was abducted and called from a 7/11. I called 1-800-
Missing Children at the time, but no one would call me
back. He is still missing, sad to say.
I also happened to tune in on the Hawkins boy, the
11 year old missing Boy Scout in Utah back in June, 2005.
Saw the story on CNN on a Monday. (He'd been missing all
weekend but I had missed the news that weekend). The
reporters were saying that everyone thought he might have
fallen in the river. But the "soul" of the boy spoke to
me and said: "I am not in the river, I am the other direction from where people are looking." I called his family home and spoke to his school teacher who was manning the phone that day. I said, "Don't give up, he is still alive and he is the other direction from where people are looking and is not in the river." She passed the message on to the searchers and he was found the next day, in the opposite direction of where they had searched. Everyone thought it wouldn't be logical for him to go up hill, but in fact he did.
I also have documentation for predicting that Skylab
would land in Perth, Australia, back in 1979 and for
predicting a major earthquake in LA area within two days
of occurrence. (Can fax this to anyone interested).
I volunteered with Childquest International and
worked behind the scenes of many missing children cases.
That said, like all psychics, none of us are infallible, none are 100%.
I have tried to wait for the authorities to listen
to my messages. I live far away too...so have not been
able to just jump in the car and drive down the street
looking for Kristi. (I can't tell you how many times I've
fought the urge to do just that, however.)
I have told the family and the authorities if my
information is accurate, I don't want the reward. I just
want Kristi and her son to use the money to rebuild their
lives.
I have never charged for helping in missing people
cases and never will.
I have a radio program archived on the internet if
anyone is curious about my work and my personality and
my style. Its called Mainstream Intuition. It can be
heard at www.mainstreamintuition.com
I am sharing this information with all love. Perhaps
someone who lives closer to that area can begin to check
some of these visions I've had.
Thanks to all who are keeping the faith and a positive
attitude for Kristi's return.
I have a 7 day candle burning on my mantle for Kristi:
A "Virgin Mary of Miracles" candle. I am not Catholic but
I love Mary and I believe in Miracles.
Thanks for letting me share.
One of the reasons I've held back sharing here before
iis that some people "pick you to pieces". When one is
psychic...which means "of the soul" you are more sensitive
than the usual folks. I feel everything deeply.
Thats how I do this, but thats why its hard to "come
out of the closet" in a case like this.
If you feel the need to pick me to pieces, could you
go out and pull some weeds, chop some wood, or help
a friend instead?
Thanks.
Tonight I touched the picture at the top of this page and said show me what direction they drove, and now I say how an I describe the direction?
As You look at the map above and they have that Pink Pin Point they drove straight ahead.
On the map see that white spot on the map back a ways on the right side, when I first began meditating on this story I was shown that is about the spot Kristi stepped to the side of the road when the car approached.
Now to continue with tonights Psychic Information, I am high in the universe and I look down and I see a small body of water that may be a Quarry?
Anyone who is familiar with tha area recognize the water as smething you can identify?
I thought I would write this since you are describing the area and seem quite familiar with it and its landmarks.
Anything else that may come to me I will keep you posted.
Posted 10/03/2009 at 06:12:07 PMI just don't know what to say. It feels like the twilight zone on this site...
STEVE...I'm telling you Steve you need to wake up and read the site, I want the Georgia Baptist people back.. I'm sorry I said anything at the begining of this site I repent...Darn it Steve.
Wait a minute... I..I..I can almost see...it's blurry, but it's comming to me... Steve, I think you need to put all these psychic's on time out don't let them post anymore until they can agree on what the out come of this case will be, all this speculation is giving me a head ach, these conflicting psychic readings are confusing my brain next thing you know they will be telling us there's no Santa or Easter Bunny!!
Posted 10/03/2009 at 08:38:19 PMIn regards to Linda's "reading". Question: Aren't probationers/parolees "felons"? Are felons allowed to have/purchase hunting licenses?
Posted 10/04/2009 at 12:25:57 AMTonight there was a routine story on, for me, Channel 13 news, I think that's WLOS. I have been traveling and just got home in time to tune in and thought it ironic that it's exactly what was on the news when I turned on my TV. However, there was nothing new, just the exact same information and requests provided before.
If someone dissaproves of the psychic posts they should not read them. I have been gripped by this case and have had many serious "dreams" about it. I'm no psychic,however incredibly intuitive and have been engrossed by other media hyped missing persons cases, but have never experienced the intense "visions" as I have with this one. My dreams and visions frequently agree with the latest psychic poster but not completely. However, many things differ, in particularly whether or not Kristi is still alive. Unfortunately, I do not believe she is. I had the "bell" dream as one "psychic" posting described it as possibly having something to do with "Silver Bell" trees or possibly that she would be found near the holidays. I think not. My interpretation was a "warning or alert wistle" perhaps with hunters. I continue to want to explore every possibility, right or wrong until we know the truth
Posted 10/04/2009 at 12:55:59 AMTo dawn:
I will tell you what I believe as a Psychic who has been studying my information for more than 20 years. we do get these things in dreams and in hunches whether we ask for them or not because as we read these sitautions and ponder the answer as to what happened, there is information in the spirit world which somehow picks up those questions and sends them back to us in dreams and sometimes it will be a picture or an idea that pops into our heads.
When I read about a case like this i will touch the picture if I have one and I will see visions and sometimes numbers and the actual person that becomes so clear it looks like something I see on a movie or television sow.
For example once a woman was shot at a local fast food restaurant say 15 years ago and I immediately meditated on the story and I saw exactly what happened right down to the killer walking into the restaurnt the clothes he wa wearing and things like that and about an hour later the news said they caught him and he looked exactly like what he did in the vision.
Another time I saw a small story in the paper hundreds of miles away and I meditated on it and saw who did it and why and I sent that information off to the sheriff and he said yes I was right although the paper never said so the people were killed for money and he said they were millionaire horse breeders and he told me there was no way I could have described the inside of the house unless I had been inside and I had the feeling from the tone of his voice he was coming after me but fortunately I had the business card of a sheriff I had worked with in the past and he verified to that sheriff that I was a psychic and had not been in the house and that was that.
Now I have not been able to get such clear pictures in the case of Kristi but I do believe I know who did it but will not write that for sure at this time because as I gathered information another possible suspects name popped in and so for now I have the culprit narrowed down to two men in Kristi's life who have alibis and so how do I prove this to be true if they hired the two men who kidnapped and I believe murdered kristi because she would stop doing something they wanted her to.
I am trying to locate the body and offer any tips I can but as to fingering the man I am going to for now let law enforcement do their job and gather evidence and do what they normally do in cases like this.
At this time I believe Kristi was kidnapped and killed by two hired assassins and that the one who hired them has an iron clad alabi and how to prove it in a case like this normally has to do with someone snitching on others and sometimes they will do it for the reward or at least thats what I have always believed.
My information as a Psychic is free and meant only to be helpful.
To further my claim as a Psychic on the day that Nicole Simpson and Ron Godman were killed I sat down with what information I got off the tv and asked who, and why and I saw O.J. simpson going over the fence at Nicoles home at night wearing the famed black hooded sweat shirt and wearing gloves and then I saw him standing over the bodies with the look of fury in his face and I sent all that off to authorities through the mail and never heard anything back from it because most people don't believe or want to deal with psychics and hat is really too bad because some of them know what theya re doing and could help if people didn't disbelieve and discredit them all the time.
I am never seen in public as a Psychic and write only on boards and in blogs and had I wanted to seek publicity in the past from cases I have given information on I could have because I have had tv crews persuing me on several occassions but since the requests wereon the telephone I could turn them down because once out there the dogs chase you and you can't have time to do this work so I just work quietly in my home and most of my family don't even know what I am doing because we don't discuss this gift because of their being insulting to me in the past about it.
I see them and talk to them but this subject is tabo in our family because they call it fantasy and witchcraft but of course its not anymore than it ever has been because jesus himself was a channel for spirit and we all know that if we analyze it.

Because of her previous career, this is what I've always thought happened to Kristi from the very beginning.
Posted 10/04/2009 at 07:50:56 PMSamantha, I know you said in a previous post you check the Kristi Cornwell site daily, have you noticed they now have included a blog, seperate site to keep up with the family's search efforts it's in the first paragraph of the old site just click on the blog word.
Posted 10/04/2009 at 08:31:00 PMHope this helps.
Well as for me, I still think that suspicious structure that I have mentioned two times should be searched. I think DD paid for Kristi to be taken, and I think she was pregnant with his child and he couldn't be linked with a woman who he had dated briefly and was pregnant. I think the two men he hired were locals who knew the area well. I think he had Kristi on the phone and he made sure that the deed was done before calling it in. I think the cell phone was planted in the yard of someone the kidnappers knew and they took Kristi a different way then came back and threw the cell phone in it.
Posted 10/04/2009 at 09:54:45 PMI think ghosthunter is funny
Found this link re: DD and the suspicion that surrounds him.

Posted 10/05/2009 at 12:52:16 AMRe: "Felons can't get a hunting license."
Note, I felt that they went hunting there 4 to 8 years
ago, BEFORE he was a felon. I felt the abductor's friend had knowledge of the hunting cabin...they don't own the cabin, its just a shack that someone built on National Forest land...and many people have used it over the years during the season.
I didn't write it here before, but I really felt she would be found in the first two weeks. Thats why I held back from posting publicly before now, because I had hopes
that the GBI or the ABI would follow up on my messages,
or find her some other way.
When I called the Alabama Bureau of Investigation
about two weeks after this happened, they claimed to not
have even heard of the case! I asked "why not", and they
said that someone would have had to call them from GBI
to get them on board. I said, "but you're only one state
away...that seems incredible".....
I sent them (ABI) all my information anyway, including
faxing the Skylab documentation (published in the West.
Australian paper, along with a letter from the Editor
BEFORE it landed within 400 miles of Perth in l979).
Since she was not located within the 2 weeks I originally "saw," I am less secure that she will be found
in good shape, but I continue to hold out hope. (Unfortunately, when one part of my reading is wrong,
sometimes other parts are too. I hope thats not the case
this time). I am wrong on timing of when she'd be found,
but I assumed that my information would be listened to,
and factored that into the finding process. Duh!
Its almost as if there is some kind of shield up
keeping her from being found. I don't mean that cynically,
but sometimes there are reasons greater than I can understand why certain things happen.
IF anyone on this board does happen to research my
visions about Alabama, will you let us all know so that
we can rule it out, if inaccurate and focus on other ideas?
I have several students who have studied with me and
I am getting a variety of visions from them too.
One thinks she is alive, with a hunter in Jackson
Hole Wyoming area.
Another thinks she is somewhere in the south and
feels a member of her own family is responsible.
Another focused on pain in her solar plexus area and
that she is still alive and cold.
I have not put these visions forward before now, because I didn't want to confuse matters and they don't have my track record....(they are not pros, they don't
do this all the time, they've not worked on these kind
of cases before). However, I have seen them successful
in many instances in doing readings for me and others.
but as I said, they don't have my years of experience.
That said, its possible at least one of them is right
and I am wrong.
Thanks for your patience with this process.
Baseball players who are pros have batting averages in
the 300's. To find a missing person takes a lot of
hard work and cooperation, especially if some people are doing their best to hide the person.
I have seen many messages on this board about the
difficulty of the roads in the Jones Creek area. We have
a GBS and it does wonders on strange roads..it helps you
find a way out. You don't have to be a "local" to find
a route with a GBS. Perhaps the perp had one.
The fact that the phone was found over 3 miles from home
to me is a sign that she was not put in a trunk. I felt
she was seated in the front seat, bound with those plastic
handcuffs. I really felt that there is one perp, but if
there was a second one, I felt he was quiet and inactive.
I am only strongly feeling the one man.
The fact that the phone was found at the home of a friend does not seem significant. I have lived in small towns and generally everyone pretty much knows everyone. That could happen pretty easily.
The vision I had was that the person turned left on the
Appalachian Highway and headed south towards Alabama.
The loops around in that area to drop the phone might have
been a desire to confuse the pack...because surely everyone
seemed to go north.
If you're not seen doing the pick up, why would you stay close to the area? It was dark. They could have driven for hours, which was what I saw in my vision. I figured they drove about 5 hours. I worked out the time/miles on mapquest to the southwest of Blairsville and thats how I found the general countys. I looked on maps and called the Alabama State Parks bureau to find out where national forests with hunting options were located.
I also called various Convenience stores and gave
descriptions to various ones to watch for a man as I described, including buying beer when he came in.
They agreed to call the FBI if they spotted someone,
especially if there were Georgia plates on the car.
I did what I could from here....but as I said, I live
over 1000 miles away and traveled myself every weekend in
Sept. for work out of state. It was not feasible to come
down.
In my career, I have worked on maybe a dozen cases
of missing people. I am not an "ambulance chaser" in that
regard. I get involved only when the higher self of the missing person "reaches out to me" in some way. Thats what happened in this case. I saw the minister on the Today Show.
I could be wrong, but I thought he was OK. Especially
because I got visions of people in her parole/detention
work as being responsible. He may not be perfect (none
of us are), but I didn't get those dangerous/creepy vibes on the minister.
Well thats it for now. My candle is burning low for
Kristi. Hope I don't need to light another one and that
she is safely home soon.
Blessings to all who care for her so much.
And Thanks for keeping the faith.

Ghost, I've been out of town and just returned home last night so I haven't had a chance to check the kristicornwell website, however the link to the new update site was posted on another website and I checked it out last night. I'm so glad that the family is now keeping us (the public) informed and up to date concerning the searches.

I'm with you that someone from her previous career was involved in her abduction. As for Davis being involved (re: someone saying they thought Kristi was pregnant with Davis' child and he hired someone to abduct her in order to save his reputation) .... Davis was not a Jimmy Swaggart or a Jim Baker that were both in high profile ministries ... I had never heard of Davis before this situation.
Also to Linda concerning the Alabama ABI, there are 400+ unsolved cases of missing females in the state of Georgia alone (don't know what timeframe that includes and have no idea what the numbers are in other surrounding states), so the fact that the Alabama AGI had never heard of Kristi's case is not surprising in the least.
Posted 10/05/2009 at 10:08:21 AMhttp://kristicornwell.com/the-family-search/
They closed the blog ....
Posted 10/05/2009 at 10:11:18 AMThanks for the details on the sheer volume of cases.
Posted 10/05/2009 at 02:07:42 PMI bow head in humility.
Cali-Sharon, I think Ghosthunter is funny too! And you have great posts...
Samantha, what do you mean it's closed? You mean the comments? There are so many whacko's out there, like the one from topix saying the family is just trying to get money and ripping people off. I'm sure they'd find their way to that place and keep them busy moderating comments.
In lieu of any main stream news coming out, I sure do appreciate the psychics posting here. Gives me something to look for even if on google maps only. I wish I lived closer to the areas mentioned so I could do some physical searching, but for now, it's just me and my puter.

I meant the blog is closed on that site and I don't blame the family for doing so. Yes, the outrageous comments on Topix are from callous cowards that hide behind their computer screens with comments such as "the Cornwell's are ripping the public off", but with a site that is completely out of control with no moderating at all, there'll always be crazies posting their useless two sense worth.
Posted 10/05/2009 at 05:17:50 PMSandy: Did you get a "postcard" in the mail today?
To everyone, I received, in today's mail, from Jo Ann Cornwell, a bulk mail mailing postcard. It has Kristi's picture on it and her description. Reward amount and abduction information, phone number, website and vehicles of interest. We pray for her safe return and great idea - family.
Posted 10/05/2009 at 05:28:24 PMKristi's family could do a blog all they would need to do is make the poster register if they behave they can post if not they would have the ip address ban the poster it wouldn't be like they could change names all the time like the circus going on in the topix blog.
I emailed Kristi's website to my address book asked each person to forward the site to their address book print the missing poster and post in their local stores, I know her picture is posted from N.Y. to Texas I'm sure my friends can cover most states you guys should do the same this would keep the family's money in the search fund instead of stamps, and paper.
Posted 10/05/2009 at 06:53:19 PMWhen are we ever going to get some news..is LE still really working on this..or is it just a folder, filed under open cases? Of course they will say they ARE working on it..but how? This is so wrong to not give out some info..even the old die hard internet crime buffs hardly come here anymore. To many sensational horrific crimes have now replaced this case and poor Kristi is placed on the backburner..
Comeon LE..this is ridiculous..release something new to keep people looking for her..dont let her be forgotten!
Posted 10/05/2009 at 10:22:52 PMFor anyone interested in my latest Psychic experiment and what I saw here it is.
I visited another site that showed a full picture of Davis and I sat there and closed my eyes as I do and soon I saw a diamond encrusted Wishbone and of course wishbones are supposed to be good luck.
I then saw a woman in spirit appear in the dress of oppressed middle eastern women who are controlled by men and she appraoched me then ran away.
I then saw a bird laying and it had been aborted before it could survive in the world.
I wanted to write this because someone above wrote they felt that Kristi was Pregnant.
Will that be provable when the body is found after it has been out in the elements all this time, and with all the wild animals that roam through those woods and mountains.
This is what people have to deal with in cases like that and while we don't like to think about these things my guides have taught me this is the reality of what I will have to deal with when I work on these cases as a Psychic Detective.

Well, that would take moderators and I don't know how many people would have the time or inclination to moderate the site since every single post would have to be read.

I don't know if CVT has abilities or not..or for that matter if anyone does...but there is always the possibility of anything..for we truly have no way of knowing ourselves...I do believe that some people are sensitive to things that others do not observe or experience.
I have noticed that CVT's visions and postings change too...but in the world of the psychics, I dont think it is uncommon for a vision to change..for a vision or a tarot read, relies on the individual to compile the information together based on what they feel....a tarot read is only good for that moment (in most cases), as life and events are constantly changing which in turn can change the outcome..I assume the same is true of a person that has visions..that their visions and predictions change due to circumstances and change due to the perception of the individual. I KNOW there are tons of hokey people claiming to be a reader, or to have visions or see the future...and most want money for their services which is a good tip off to me..for if you have been blessed to have any sort of visions or abilities, I would think money would NOT even begin to enter the picture and the individual would want to help, to use the gift to take pain away, to find joy or happiness for others. Money negates the entire findings in my opinion. And of course if there are people that really do "see" things..I suppose some are better than others at interpreting their visions.
Above all else...I saw ANYTHING that will find or bring Kristi home is worth a shot..You never hear of the case, no one is talking about it, there are very few news releases...what is wrong with LE that they do NOT do something to bring this out to the public..what is wrong with the family to NOT bring this out to the public...what is wrong with Davis..to not bring this out and keep it in the lime light...WHY? Lack of leads generally causes LE to keep asking for help..why are they NOT asking for help..why is the family not pleading for her return or info.? There has to be a BIG reason why nothing is being said, released or posted by LE, family and Davis. So what is the big secret they are all hoarding?
Posted 10/06/2009 at 10:30:31 AMJoan, the family recently mass mailed postcards to people and churches in the surrounding area with info on her abduction, the reward amount and a photo of Kristi, so the family has definitely not given up as it seems LE has.
You might also check a new webpage the family has set up here: http://kristicornwell.com/the-family-search/ and hopefully they will post any updates as they occur.
I do believe there are true psychics, and some have actually helped to solved criminal cases .... I have read about and have seen this fact on TV, but they don't keep changing what they see .... they stick to what they saw in the first vision. I have watched psychic James' (can't think of his last name now) TV show many times and I believe he is a true psychic.
I do believe CVT wants to think he/she's a true psychic, but the Kristi possibility pregnant vision was never brought forth by CVT until another poster brought it up here recently.
Posted 10/06/2009 at 11:25:12 AMThat is true I never mentioned pregnant and never saw anything to lead me in that direction until yesterday when I was visiting another site and I saw a picture of Davis and touched it and that is when I began to see the things I wrote about earlier.
Just befoe I came on here I saw a white ribbon and a silver bell attached and my guide said I did show you the silver bell and now I am putting a ribbon it to say it doesn't have to do with the trees in your case but the holidays.
My guides and I talk back and fourth and discuss things and they tell me things I didn't know, then there is a source higher up in the spirit world that can look into the past and the future and he knows exactly what happened to Kristi and who did it but he told me not to write more on that at this time, because someone might cause me some trouble if I put them out in public.
When I post things I write just what they are showing me or have shown me recently.
I am not only gathering information ont his case but to local murders and some states away and I have most of the information put with the right cases, but it is a lot to deal with and because I have some othe issues behind the scenes in this situation which I am trying to solve with several spirits who are not nice ones who are trying to keep me from working in the right way.
Posted 10/06/2009 at 11:59:15 AMSamantha
Your local aren't you? What do local people seem to think?
I am in Michigan and people here probably don't even knows Kristi's name or that she is missing..and that is sad.
Local people of course will have an awareness of Kristi and the abduction and will always be looking for those vehicles or anything suspicious...but get a couple hundred miles away and there is no awareness of it..without LE constantly releasing a plea for help or releasing some information, people across the states will never know about Kristi. She could be anywhere, or she could be a hundred yards from the abduction site..
There are few real choices of what happened to her...she was abducted or she wasn't. If she wasn't then Davis would by lying..WHY? IF she was abducted then WHY hasnt LE given the public some leads, some info? A less likely thought is she staged it and is safe somewhere WHICH I HIGHLY DOUBT...something happened to Kristi and it is not good.
Something happened either during the phone conversation that D. is aware of and LE are aware of but do not want the public to know. WHY? Because whatever it is, it is evidence and they do not want to release it. WHY?
Possibly because they don't know how to use the the info..maybe she DID call out a persons name or description..maybe she yelled out first names....and they cant connect the dots of the first names to a last name...so unless D. made up the phone conversation, I am positive she shouted out something that LE does not want the pubic to know..which could be the name of the person(s)or a clue to their identity..but possibly only a first name which hampers things considerably.
A lot has been said about her saying "Don't take me"..in thinking on it over time..I decided that it doesnt sound as strange, if you put it into different contexts...Did she yell it in a defiant way..DON"T take me....did she yell it in a scared wimpery way..."don't take me.. don't take me"..if you consider ALL the ways those three words can be said..a different feeling or emotion emerges..fear, pain, surrender..defiance..all depending on HOW it was said.. and that is something we don't know.

I don't live in Blairsville or Georgia, I live across the state line in NC about 30 miles from Blairsville .... as far as my area, people have stopped discussing the case, or the people that I talk to anyway.

That's the $64,000 question ... why has LE not released (at least) how many people were heard, the gender of those heard and accents etc. Davis, nor the family, are evidently not allowed to give our any info concerning what he heard all the while stifling the entire case.
Posted 10/06/2009 at 12:17:27 PMI could understand in the onset of this case that LE wanted to hold info close to the vest. however, here we are 2 months from being taken, and nothing...not one clue. The LE even said they will need to depend on the public to help. If that's the case, then why aren't they throwing us a bone of sorts.
I'm like you all, why not tell how many people there may have been. What was reportedly said by the abductor(s) and or Kristi. If Kristi did come forth with a name, then why not publicize that so the community there may be able to help?
It's crazy! They search for a week, and yes there may be 4,000 women in the state of GA that are missing, but they gave it all up after a week? I would search longer than that for a lost kitty! Maybe if GBI would look longer than a week, there wouldn't be so many missing. Even in Tara Grinstead's case, they gave out a ton more info as time passed.
If I were a family member, I would let the information out...keeping it secret has brought forth absolutely no reward in information. If it were my sister, daughter, mother, I would do whatever I felt I had to to find my loved one, even if it meant going against what LE advises.
Posted 10/06/2009 at 02:11:12 PMI want to take this time to thank the Cornwell's for their new entries concerning Kristi on the www.kristicornwell.com website.
Posted 10/06/2009 at 03:26:07 PMI got my post card Samantha, no new news on the post card only a scaled down version of the reward poster I agree with Joan people aren't talking anymore about Kristi or her family it's sad to see this case go so cold, people around work didn't even go to the last benefit at the school not allot of people from around the community was there nobody wants to discuss this case anymore except to say the latest webblog by the family looks more like a memorial than a search sit, I have to agree.
Posted 10/06/2009 at 03:33:05 PMI have a burning question .... do any law enforcement personnel in Union County Georgia drive white SUVs on the job or privately. The reason I ask this is because when this crime first broke and a white SUV became a VOI, someone mentioned that LE drove white SUVs (didn't know if they meant on the job or privately) and since Kristi was once involved in the LE industry my mind got to wondering .... could it be ??????
Posted 10/06/2009 at 04:45:50 PMWell there has to be a really valid reason why no one...family, boyfriend or LE are talking about the phone conversation...and of course the question is WHY?
So put on your thinking caps and lets list some reasons WHY they would not release the info..we know the obvious ..but lets look at them again.
POSSIBLE REASONS WHY LE WOULD NOT RELEASE THE PHONE CONVERSATION TO THE PUBLIC....PLEASE ADD YOUR THOUGHTS OF WHY YOU THINK THEY MAY NOT RELEASE INFO, who knows we might hit on the reason that will make perfect sense.
1. No info released because they are afraid it will allow the abductor to get away or disappear.
Posted 10/06/2009 at 07:07:12 PM2. They have info from the phone call that they are saving that only the abductor, Davis and the Le would know about and wont share it because..hmmm because it is the only clue they have?
3. The conversation could place blame on someone that may be high profile and they want to make sure they have the case sewn up tight...could she have called out a name of someone that is local and well known, maybe in law enforcement or local government?
4. They don't believe the conversation took place
5. They believe Kristi was self destructive and was not abducted but did something to herself.
6. They do not believe what was reported to have been said.
7. They have NO CLUE and decided to withhold the conversation because it was the ONLY thing they had.
and I am out of thoughts at this point.
"Susan, Blairsville said:
Sandy: Did you get a "postcard" in the mail today?"
Susan: I got it yesterday. Just what Ghosthunter said..."no new news on the post card only a scaled down version of the reward poster". Sad.
**************
Samantha: To answer your "burning question .... do any law enforcement personnel in Union County Georgia drive white SUVs on the job or privately."
I can't say about any LE driving them privately, but we SURE DO have white SUV's the UCSO drives.
"wondering .... could it be ??????" WHAT?? are you wondering???
Kristi never worked for the UCSO. She worked at Colwell Detention Center in Blairsville and the Towns County Sheriff's Office in Hiawassee.
Joan: Why don't we start a list of all the "facts" we KNOW. Then anyone can add to this "Fact" list with documented information.
"calif sharon said: ...I still think that suspicious structure that I have mentioned two times should be searched."
Posted 10/06/2009 at 10:03:29 PM1. How do you know it hasn't been searched??? Everything in a 5 mile radius of the abduction site was searched. That statement came from www.kristicornwell.com under the heading for volunteer pilots.
2. BUT, I did mention it to someone and if I am not mistaken it is owned by a local trucking company.
I just seen something on the news today or shall i say i heard her name and was wondering if they had any leads of who or any new leads
Posted 10/06/2009 at 10:21:11 PMcalif sharon or Sandy.. is this the structure on Jones Creek Terrace?
Sandy, can you say which local trucking company. I know the owner of one of them and can ask, if about the structure being searched, if it is him.
It is so frustrating to get up every morning and see that she has not been found or that there is no news. I have not picked up this weeks local paper yet, so don't know what's in it.
Posted 10/07/2009 at 08:46:24 AMYes, Susan it is. I do not remember the name though. Sorry. I'll have to look in the phone book.
Posted 10/07/2009 at 11:13:34 AMI was thinking about the two vehicles that were reported to be suspicious....did someone other than DD report them? If he did report them they are probably not even close to the actual
Posted 10/07/2009 at 08:29:23 PMvehicle that was used in the abduction. If he told law enforcement that Kristi said the vehicle was a white SUV and a gold or tan sedan...guess what? That is what everyone is looking for. The structure is seen plainly on the google map at the end of Jones Creek Terrace it is on the left at a dead end. Don't know why but I am still concerned about that place.
Sandy... If you are talking about the trucking company on the corner not to far from another branch of Jones Creek Rd, then you know where I live. I am also very close to the old place of the race car driver. I may take a drive around the area.

I believe the vehicles were reported by people that live in the area as strange vehicles that did not belong to anyone that lived on Jones Creek Rd.
Posted 10/08/2009 at 09:05:33 AMthis is a horrible thing to have happened, i live two miles from the church she was taking at, i think bout kristi everytime i drive down jones creek my heart goes out to the cornwells, i think everyone needs to be respectful of them, recently i got a forward text saying she was found in memphis with her ex boyfriend... could u even begin to think how her mother would feel if she got one of those texts or worse her son brody?? people should should think what if it was there daughter, mother, sister or friend misssin before they make up such a horrible rumor! and again my prayers go out to the her and her family!
Posted 10/08/2009 at 01:37:27 PMIt never really occurred to me til I read the last post...but does Kristi have a ex-boyfriend that the relationship may have ended with harsh feelings? Did she stop seeing someone when she met and got involved with DD?
Posted 10/08/2009 at 04:37:32 PMJust did a search on Dragon's Tail, Kristi had her own motorcycle and was a great rider. She went down the Dragon's Tail which is a terribly crooked road with twists and turns on it. Many people have been injured or killed on this road named Dragon's Tail. Kristi had a free spirit about her and would love to ride with others like her.
Posted 10/08/2009 at 11:23:23 PMhttp://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/GBI_Progress_in_Missing_Woman_Case_100809
Posted 10/09/2009 at 08:16:44 AMFinally another news story. Basically just says that the GBI is making progress. I sure wish they would throw us a bone about what type of progress they're making! It does mention a bridge that they searched near...maybe you locals know it?
Well, it would certainly be nice if the GBI informed the public of any progress being made except still searching ... we're all still searching.
Posted 10/09/2009 at 11:49:22 AMSamantha, do you travel very often to Blairsville, and have you had the opportunity to search the area near her parents' home?
Posted 10/09/2009 at 02:28:58 PMWe rode over to Blairsville about a month ago to see the new Wal-Mart there but we did not venture down Jones Creek Rd, however we did drive hwy 325 (Nottely Dam Rd.) where the phone was tossed.
Posted 10/09/2009 at 03:30:25 PMI finally got a chance to watch the video from last night's news and the reporter stated that GBI said, "we are getting closer to understanding Kristi's abduction" (whatever that means but they said it was sensitive information).
Richard Cornwell said that they absolutely believe Kristi is still alive and is being held captive.
Posted 10/09/2009 at 03:34:59 PMSusan...Use to go through there going to friends who lived on Timber Ridge. I thought BE still had his place here, though not here very much. The trucking company by you is not the same trucking company. I've been busy this last week, spent the weekend at the Apple Festival in Ellijay. Will be busy this week getting ready for the 2nd weekend. Maybe I'll be recovered in about 10 days!!!
Just wish that tomorrow there would be news that Kristi has been found...SAFE
Posted 10/12/2009 at 12:27:32 AMSandy...Yes, he still has his shop here and comes in and out by helicopter lol. Sold his house though. I took a drive yesterday. Jones Creek Terrace is a little out of the way from where Kristi was abducted. Someone would have to know the area or get lost. It is a creepy road. At the upper end of it, there is some sort of business. Looks like maybe a lumber company of some sort. The was a "trailer" parked along the side of the road. Like a 'semi truck' trailer. A few houses back off of the road. One area had a "trail" going into it and I could see down the hill a table and 2 chairs. They are white. I had a hard time seeing through the trees, but it did not look like there was any kind of a building by them and I didn't want to drive in on the road/trail. Not going to put myself in uncalled for danger. Just the whole area was creepy. Did not go real close to the last house at the end either. You have to be careful around these backwoods places. Could never be seen again. There is definitely places in there to hide someone.
Posted 10/12/2009 at 10:02:41 AMSusan, I would be curious if that area has been thoroughly searched by LE ... I realize that it's private property and that the family and local searchers would not want to enter it unless given permission by the owners due to trespasssing rights.
Posted 10/12/2009 at 10:16:13 AMRichard Cornwell will be on HLN Issues with Jane Velez Mitchell again this evening. 7 p.m. 10/12/09
Posted 10/12/2009 at 02:01:34 PMSusan, thank you so much for your braveness!!! I can feel how creepy that area is and really want to thank you for getting a feel of the place. Don't chance it, maybe law enforcement will do a follow up around that area.
Posted 10/12/2009 at 09:34:57 PMi'm relieved to see that there is something in the news albeit not much information. at least we know that le is still working the case, and that pleases me. i just wish they would throw the public a bone so we could possibly help. they have a wealth of information to follow on just from locals like susan, kimberly, sandy and the rest of you. i hope for you all as well as the cornwell family that kristi is found soon and that the perps are apprehended. what a nightmare for the cornwell family and the locals. i pray that god allows this case to be resolved very soon.
Posted 10/13/2009 at 08:19:36 AMSamantha,
I read the other web site WSs...and was reading in the forensic astrology section about Kristi. Asheville, NC is ENE at 127 miles to city center from the cell phone point of detection. The range they give is 126-132 miles ENE of that point.
No one in the psychic posts have indicated a "city" or town as being the backdrop they see, so I will assume she is outside of Asheville somewhere. I was wondering if we should try and compile the psychic clues given here and see if we can relate them to a place in or around Asheville.
BTW, I don't post at WS, although they have great people posting there, and always have great detective work going on, I have heard rumor of the person that owns that site being involved in child sexual misconduct in the past, supposedly. If you are interested in learning more about that, I'll get a link to the site where this was purported to be the case with the owner of the WS site.
Posted 10/14/2009 at 11:51:06 AMJadensmokes: I also had seen the post at the forensic astrology site. Am glad to see you were able to estimate the ENE point. Thanks!!

Well, that would certainly make sense as the best way to get to Asheville from the abduction site and hwy 325, Nottely Dam Rd (where the phone was tossed) that intersects with 19/129 going left/north then east thru Murphy on hwy 64/74 to Andrews then through the Nantahala Gorge past Cherokee NC, Sylva NC and on to Asheville ... the surrounding terrain of Ashveille is much the same as this area, so it's a distinct possibility the astrologer is correct.
I wish they would list some landmarks to go by.

I'll try to get the rest done soon, or they are in chronological order should someone else want to finish this up.
Posted 10/14/2009 at 05:38:06 PMI COULDN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHAT INFO THE MAN HAD AND WHAT HE WANTED TO TALK TO JOANN ABOUT ..... EVERYTHING IS SO SECRETIVE.
The Family Search
Posted 10/15/2009 at 05:08:09 PMOctober 15, 2009 – A statement from Shirley J. Dyer
“I was getting ready for work on August 12 when around 6:15 a.m. my phone rang. I answered the phone, and it was my friend, JoAnn. I could tell by the sound of her voice that something was wrong. She told me the shocking news that Kristi had been abducted. She told me that Kristi had gone for a walk there on Jones Creek road the evening before, and while she was out walking (very near their house) someone abducted her. I could hardly believe it. That kind of thing doesn’t happen in Blairsville.
I went to spend the weekend at JoAnn’s house to offer any comfort and support I could. On several occasions I noticed that JoAnn’s body would begin trembling. Comforting words were hard to find.
I recall listening to the voicemail of a man who claimed to have contacts in Atlanta of people who would be able to help financially in this situation. The man referred to JoAnn as “madam”. He asked JoAnn to meet him at the end of the drive going up to the house where they could discuss this. He gave his name and phone number. He said he would wait there for a few minutes, and then he would be going to Young Harris, and then on back to Atlanta. In about 5 minutes he called again, and still wanted JoAnn to come down to the end of the drive to meet him. At this point we were not sure if this was a sincere, legitimate call. Richard was convinced the man was attempting to lure JoAnn to him, so he called the sheriff’s department. A sting operation was set up. Richard instructed JoAnn and myself to go to the basement and wait there until he returned. Richard went to a nearby store to pick up the investigator who had driven there in an unmarked vehicle. The two shortly returned to the house, and told JoAnn and I we could come back upstairs. The investigator then called the number the man had given, and asked if this was the name the man had given. It was. The investigator identified himself to the man as Richard. He asked the man where he was and told him he wanted to see him and talk to him. The man agreed and told the investigator that he was at a gas station near the house. Richard took the investigator back to get his vehicle while other deputies were dispatched to the gas station. Richard also drove to teh station where he just pulled over to the side and watched as deputies surrounded the place –blue lights flashing. The man was questioned, and allowed to be on his way.”
Shirley J. Dyer
I'm with you Samantha. Did he give LE info or what? By the way, I have been by the mother's home. So sad. They have it barricaded closed so no one can trespass. My heart goes out to them so much. I was raped 4 years ago in TN and this is just frightening for me. I am keeping my fingers crossed that with the opening of "gun/rifle" season this weekend, some/a hunter will find her.
Posted 10/15/2009 at 05:55:19 PMThis was posted on DD's website yesterday...
October 14, 2009
Douglas’ father Rev. Verlin Davis passed away today, October 14th at 5;15am
After as extended illness Douglas’ father Rev. Verlin Davis passed away this morning at 5:15. He was proceeded by his wife Betty Davis, son Greg Davis and grandsons Marc and Sean Mabry. He is survived by his Son Douglas, daughters Melody Mabry and Michelle Davis; grandsons Adam, Phillip and Grant Davis, Spencer Conner; and granddaughter Lauren Davis. The funeral will be held Saturday the 17th at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Mineral Bluff, Ga. His body is at Henry-Cochran Funeral Home in Blue Ridge, GA. The ministry asks you to remember Douglas and his family in your prayers.
Didn't know he had family in Blue Ridge...

Also the last time his website was updated about Kristi was:
Sept 2, 2009
Kristi Cornwell
Douglas’ girl friend abducted on August 11th while talking to him on their cell phone.
Go to her web site to learn more about her.
www.KristiCornwell.com
And I thought he claimed to be Kristi's fiancee. Just about 3 weeks after she was abducted is the last mention of his fiancee. Short-term memory???????
So sad.
Posted 10/15/2009 at 08:20:13 PMOh my, who do you suppose this man was, and what did he want? To really aid them financially in finding Kristi? Maybe that's how the reward got so high so quickly. It's the only reason I can think of at the moment that would make sense as far as LE sending him on his way. So many strange things, this man and the unsolicited guy with the poster. I don't recall ever reading something like this in a missing/abducted case.
Thoughts are with DD (for a moment anyway) for his loss. Looks like he's endured quite a few losses according to the obit, and Kristi missing too.
Posted 10/15/2009 at 08:46:18 PMhttp://www.yhc.edu/administration/board-of-trustees.aspx
I'll bet the mystery man can be found on the board of trustees for the young harris school.
Posted 10/15/2009 at 09:01:09 PMCould this man, and what he told LE, be a reason why both LE and the family aren't giving out any information? Would love to know what was said.
As far as the reward fund getting so high, so quick...there are some extremely affluent people in this community, some who are neighbors that live in the Jones Creek area. I can think of several who would "give" generously in a time of need and the Cornwells are well thought of in the community.

Posted 10/15/2009 at 10:53:39 PMI don't know what she is talking about. I see no relevance to Y.H. The man was "going to YH then back to Atlanta. At least, I think that is what I read.
Susan: Yes, you read correctly. The "Man" was going on to YH and then returning to Atlanta. There are numerous people on the Board of Directors of YH College who are clergy... but Methodist, not Baptist. YH College is a Methodist college. I know because my Ex-husband is a Methodist minister and we would get a tution reduction for our child to attend. It's a wonderful college that I am very glad to have seen expand to a 4-year institution. If you look at the BofD's you will see a few "familiar" local "names". There is one ATL area name, I think Jadensmokes might have been referring to. I had to go back and look again. There are quite a few ATL and surrounding ATL area names on this list, but one who lives in the same town as DD. That is the only thing I noticed.
The possible relevance of this man, YH, and Kristi:
1. Kristi attended YH College her Jr & Senior years of HS on double enrollment.
2. "The Man", MIGHT be on the Board of Directors of YH College since he was going to YH. But then again he MIGHT be going to YH to visit family/friends/Brasstown Valley Resort...only he knows.
3. There is a man on the Board of Directors of YH College from Powder Springs, Ga.
4. DD goes to church in Powder Springs, Ga.
Am I right Jadensmokes??? Is this what you meant???
Posted 10/15/2009 at 11:48:24 PMI was just fishing around. the man that stopped said he knew people that helped financially in these situations. i took that to mean either he is wealthy or has wealthy connections. with wealth comes power. he was going to yh then back to atlanta. i felt like he was either a benefactor of money or at least of his time, so i looked at the board for names. i'm not from that area and so don't know names of folks. i could be barking up an entirely wrong tree here. maybe he wanted to give college money to kristi's son. but that would be an awkward time to broach that subject with the grandmother. i don't know, i'm probably grasping at straws on this just because there has been a lack of news on kristi and it's frustrating to care, but to know nothing new.
i'm sure the community did help with contributing to the reward money, but it is rare to see a reward get fulfilled so quickly. even with loving and generous neighbors and friends.
Posted 10/16/2009 at 06:51:07 AMIf the man was from Atlanta then there's plenty of money and churches in that mega city .... for that reason I can see the fund rising rapidly, plus all the churches in the surrounding areas of Blairsville and other GA communities and churches.
Posted 10/16/2009 at 09:58:22 AMThe funeral arrangements for DD's father has been up-dated. Take the link below, look at the sidebar on the left. Click on Verlin Davis. Note where he was born. Note where he is to be buried.
http://www.cochranfuneralhomes.com/
I called the UCSO. Gave the funeral information to them. I also made the suggestion that the sheriff needs to hold a press conference and bring the public up to speed on the investigation. We'll see if the spokesperson for this case gives a press release. I believe there are chains of command that have to be followed and one person can not say anything that hasn't been authorized by another. Patience, one I'm lacking in, is what we need now.
I also gave them the information about the property Califsharon keeps referring to on Jones Creek Terrace, left side at the end of the road. Was told, reafirmed, that every square inch...buildings included...within a 5 mile radius of the abduction site had been gone over intensely, as I already had know it was. They will recheck that area on Jones Creek Terrace, again, as I said that it keeps being brought up even though I had previously stated it had been checked.
Jadensmokes:
Posted 10/16/2009 at 05:10:05 PMI, for one, am glad you were fishing. Please continue. Any information or "feelings" could help provide the missing puzzle piece or pieces.

They found a body dumped in Asheville. It's not Kristi. This is the place I had pinpointed from the Astrology section of WS's. I just wonder if there is a connection. Something to watch anyway, and see if the autopsy shows foul play with this girl.
Posted 10/21/2009 at 04:44:10 PMWOW now no one writes here anymore...wonder how the investigation is going... no one seems to know anything anymore.
Posted 10/24/2009 at 02:52:12 PMBecause there is absolutely nothing to post or write about..Kristi is gone and forgotten by most people that didn't know her...so sad to say. I come back here all the time but never anything new...one day I hope to come back and see that she has been found, one way or the other..so her family can at least have peace.
Posted 10/25/2009 at 07:22:41 PMI have not forgotten Kirsti and all I know of the woman is what I have read in the news and on these sites. I believe, based on dreams I have dreamed, that Kristi is the victim of foul play and no longer alive. I believe her body is very close to her home and she was killed by someone very close to her or at least familiar to her.
There could be nothing better for me than to be WRONG! I personally would be very glad if she did indeed set up her own staged kidnapping and to discover her alive and well!
I fully believe if that were the case we would already know. Why we do not know any more about the case is way beyond me. I am frequently disturbed by missing persons cases and troubled by them as a woman, as a mother, etc. However, this case in particular has truly haunted me in a way no other ever has. I have experienced dream as if I were "Kristi" and if I were looking at circumstances surrounding her captivity and demise. It hurts, it's depairing and it's scarey! I may be subjecting my own strange bad feelings onto this but I am certain of a connection.
There is just nothing to go on at this point Certainly nothing that any of us are aware of or know about!
While these dreams haunt me, I am a very "concrete" kind of person. I need facts, clues and reasonable information to process and offer a solution to a problem
Posted 10/25/2009 at 07:42:31 PMI predict, unless someone just happens upon the body the case will go cold and become just another unvolved case and in my opinion that will happen because the killer has an alabi and has been cleared by law enforcement, and unless the two men he hired to kill and dispose of Kristi comes forward and reveals their part that is the way things will go.
This case is much like the case of the missing georgia school teacher, the man who killed her has an airtight alabi because from my psychic information he and a friend alibied each other and so the neither case will ever be solved unless something changes in the investigation.
I believe that law enforcement should start listening more to certain psychics and if they did they wold solve these cases a lot sooner, but of course if someone has an alabi they have to find a way to break that alabi and that is a difficult thing to do unless someone confesses.
Posted 10/26/2009 at 05:09:34 AMThanks for the recent information... i will never forget Kristi,,, will always pray for her and her family and hope she will be found one way or another so her family can find peace and know where she is finally. Just feel its gone cold and now no information. Thanks again everyone for speaking out and the psychics tooo...God Bless kristi and all who are still trying to find her.
Posted 10/26/2009 at 01:59:23 PMCVT - I was wondering if I had missed it or what. Have you given this name/names of person(s) you suspect to LE? And if so, what has been their response to you?
Posted 10/26/2009 at 08:22:35 PMI too hope, one way or another, Kristi is found. The FAMILY and the COMMUNITY need closure. We in the community pray for the safe return of Kristi, hope she has not met with any foul play. The family needs resolution and the community needs to know if we are safe. I pray for Kristi, her family and our beautiful city.
There was a "new" article about Kristi in the Gainesville Times dated 10/25/09
http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/news/article/25175/
Also a new entry in the Family News blog. The family is NOT giving up on searching for Kristi.
http://kristicornwell.com/the-family-search/
Susan: I completely agree with what you said.
Posted 10/27/2009 at 12:42:07 AMTo Susan of Blairsville:
As my Psychic Information continued to unfold I ended up with two suspects in the dissappearance of Kristi and both have alabi's as to what I have read here and so i want to tread lightly before going forward with this, but I am continuing to gather more psychic information and pin this down more then I will send the information to whomever I think it might benefit in catching the Killer.
However in the case of Tara Grinstead my information has not been acted on although I believe I am absolutely certain who killed her and buried her but as I watch the case and read everything I can on what is happening in the investigation I fear Tara will never be found and the killer and an accomplice who I believe alabied each other will possibly never be brought to justice.
Posted 10/29/2009 at 10:24:05 AMToday a voice in the Spirit World said six hunters will find Krisi.
Also after I wrote yesterday about two suspects as far as I can tell from my notes a guide in the Spirit World went back to one single man who has an alabi and hired two men to kidnap Kristi and get rid of her for personal reasons.
From what I read on here his alabi is airtight and I have no idea how they are ever going to charge him with anything, and its oing to be a cold case much like Tara Grinstead, and to me that is very sad but I don't know how I can do anything about it because no one much listens to psychics.
The Forensensic astrology site webslueths has accused the same man that I believe did this.
She did this through an astrology reading and its amazing to me because my notes which came to me as a psychic long before I read her take on this crime draws virtually the same conclusion.
I am hoping he is reading this site and also the others where psychics and astrologers have his number and that he becomes nervous enough to make a mistake and gets caught.
Next time he prays I hope he knows that God has his eye on him and has all his sins recorded in the book of life up in heaven and one day he will have to stand before him.
Until then he should look around himself when he is alone in the house at night because it could just be the spirit of the dead might be haunting him or coming to him in his dreams and nightmares and the will never see a moments peace if that happens.

The above link is very interesting because one of the astrologers named Tuba has linked Davis to this crime through Astrological readings.
I don't know where she is located but I as a psychic in Ohio from the earliest days of Kristi's disappearance have linked Davis to this crime, and although he has an alabi I believe he hired two men to do this to Kristi and here are some very personal reasons collected in my notes that have been coming to me over the past several months.
If the GBI has cleared him then there may never be a way to solve this case and unless Kristi is found I guess it will be just another cold case and another killer goes free.
I know few believe psychics but what is interesting to me is I as a Psychic and the Astrologer mentioned above have both in different locations honed in on the same man and to me that is very interesting.
In many cases shown on TV when someone hires a hit about the only way anyone is caught is if someone tells someone and an undercover cop pretends to be a hit man for hire and they catch them but since this is afer the fact it may never be solved, unless for some reason the two men hired comes fourth and that is highly unlikely in cases like this unless for some reason they grow unhappy with the person who hired them and they open up about their part in this abdution.
I would hate for this case to take the route of Tara Grindstead because its a case much like this and unless something happens I don't believe either of the cases will ever be solved, because the people who did both cases look clean on the surface but are all members of organized crime.
Organized crime is when several people get together to arrange the murder of another for whatever reasons.
I am hoping law enforcement reads this site and takes another look at this case and Tara's and tries to find some way to tie the killer to these womens disapperances because this is not right and I as a Psychic intend to work free of charge till the day I die to help bring justice to the victims who work through me from the after life because they will not find peace until their killers are brought to justice.
Posted 10/31/2009 at 04:59:47 PMCVT6702:
Interesting. I have also read this on Forensic Astrology.
Now if you could give a more specific location on 129 S. of Blairsville that you said she could be found in, awhile ago, that would be helpful. I've ask you before to do this.
Local LE knows the "hills" like the backs of their hands...growing up, fishing and of course hunting in the area. With deer hunting season open now, if they aren't on duty, most are probably in the woods hunting...would be a good time to keep their eyes WIDE OPEN.
Wonder where Samantha is...haven't heard a peep since Verlin Davis, DD's father, died.
Posted 11/01/2009 at 03:24:41 AMI'm still around but have had nothing to report ... the case is not being talked about much around here any longer due to the case being so hush/hush from the family and LE ... unless the www.kristicornwell site is down for updating, it can't be accessed.
Richard Cornwell has said many times that they absolutely believe Kristi is alive and is being held captive, but he gives no clues as to why he believes such.
Posted 11/01/2009 at 10:30:24 AMTo Sandy:
Posted 11/01/2009 at 02:38:38 PMI am trying to put together a google map to show the area I am talking about but I am not good at doing this so if someone could follow this link I have copied and pasted may someone can help me put this map here and then I will try to explain things better as to what I believe I am getting from my psychic information.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&hl=en&geocode=&view=map&saddr=Blairsville+Ga+south+to+Robertstown&daddr=537+Jones+Creek+Rd,+Blairsville,+GA&sll=34.860787,-84.107919&sspn=0.003345,0.0053&gl=us&ie=UTF8&z=8&pw=2
Evidently the kristi site was down for updating .... it's back up now.
Posted 11/01/2009 at 02:39:27 PMThe link above works to connect to my map and for those who want to check a copy of the map I will try to explain from my psychic notes the area I believe may be important to finding Kristi, and keep in mind these are Psychic notes and given to me by a guide in the spirit world who transmits to me and I try to follow his instructions just as I did today when I tried to do this google map.
To the right of Blairsville note numbers 1-3-5-9-2 well on my map he has drawn a line under the word Blairsville on the map and over to about where those numbers are and to the left to route 129 and while that may be a large area someone near to the story may know if this area has been searched.
I am hoping this might help and if I can make things clearer then I will try.
Posted 11/01/2009 at 02:58:17 PMnot that I am convinced you know what your talking about I will give you a little help CVT6702.
The area your talking about is the hiawassee mountain area, you continue down thru Helen Georgia into Cleveland. That's about all I can make of your route.
Posted 11/01/2009 at 06:08:00 PMTo Ghosthunter:
Thanks for your help the area you describe is what I have been shown as I look through my guides eyes from high in the Universe and I suppose this is why he says she will be found by hunters.
I thought if I showed this area anyone out there hunting or hiking would keep a closer eye on their surroundings and see if they locate something.
Posted 11/02/2009 at 07:53:32 AMThis was posted on another site ... I wonder if this had anything to do with Kristi:
"This morning I passed 3 police cars tearing down 325 (Nottely Dam Rd.) and turning into the little farm house before collwell farm on the left??? They were there yesterday looking around also.. And State troopers were hot on the other end of 325 across from the shell station. Anyone know whats up?? Seams like they found something."
From another poster:
Posted 11/04/2009 at 10:28:57 AM"25 min ago My son just got home and he said that when he came by that area, the yard was packed with police and a few unmarked cars passed him on 515 with the pedal to the metal... This kind of thing doesnt happen in this neck of the woods too often, it must be something big. Its the house on the left right past where they found Kristy's cell phone."

Post referred to came from the Blairsville Forum on Topix.
All I will add is there was LE activity on 325 not far from the site the cell phone was found. As for specific information, none heard at this time.
Posted 11/05/2009 at 01:47:02 PMYeah, the 325 incident has been hush hush too ... all the secrecy!
Posted 11/06/2009 at 11:37:30 AMTabby?????? oh my gosh..........Hi. I didnt know your worked with Kristi...., but then again, we havent seen each other since High School. I hope your friend is found.
Posted 11/06/2009 at 12:40:34 PMI've been reading all of the posts from this case for a while now. The recent post about the investigator and Kristi's brother was troublesome. Why did an investigator get a citizen to pick him up and take him to the Cornwell residence? Why did he and the brother ask the residents to go to the basement? Were they afraid that someone with a gun was going to storm the house? Did they not think that, if someone was watching the house, they would notice "two" people getting out of Richard's vehicle? Deputies surround a business where the unknown benefactor is waiting, emergency lights blinking, creating a spectacle. Sounds like very shotty police work. I understand that LE wants to work very closely with the family. But, never, ever, do you let a citizen get that involved with the investigation. Richard was waiting and observing the police as the "sting" went down? What a huge liability issue. Very unprofessional on the part of the investigator. I, for one, have not ruled out a family member(s) as a suspect. Are the Cornwell's wealthy or do they own a large farm worth a lot of money? Who stands to inherit the property? What is the health of Kristi's mother and father like? Earlier, someone mentioned the white SUV. It was mentioned that the local police may drive a similar vehicle. Are any of the family members close to a member(s) of the local LE? If so, evidence relevant to the case could be compromised. Just speculation, not accusation. Too many fishy things going on with this case. LE needs to spill whatever information they have to the public and try to get some new leads. I think I would look really close at the family, immediate and extended, because I have a feeling that there is where the answers will be found.
Posted 11/13/2009 at 10:20:51 AMI realize that some of you psychics (sp) are seeing Kristi deceased. Well, for an off the wall idea, anything she was connected with in her past that would put her in Witness Protection? Just a thought.
Posted 11/14/2009 at 10:12:30 PM"Susan, Blairsville said:
I realize that some of you psychics (sp) are seeing Kristi deceased. Well, for an off the wall idea, anything she was connected with in her past that would put her in Witness Protection? Just a thought."
Susan...Very interesting thought.
We've talked about her working at the Detention Center, we've talked about her time as a Drug Counselor with Paroles, we've talked about her relationship with DD, BUT never has there been any discussion about the time spent working at the Towns County Sheriff's Office and what she did there. The former Towns County Sheriff & a deputy were arrested about a year or two ago. I was at the Ga. Mtn. Fairgrounds, either in July or October (can't remember), when it happened and it was the talk of the crafters in the craft village. I was looking in the Towns County newspaper archives for more information about whatever happened to the Sheriff and I came across another article about another TCSO employee being arrested in May, 2009 and charged with sexual related behavior with a female inmate. I couldn't find anymore articles from the original one in May of this year thru a few weeks ago so I don't have any further information. I wonder if these former TCSO personnel were working for the Sheriff's Office when Kristi worked there though I don't see any relationship to their problems and her abduction.
I noticed tonight that on the Families web site that the "Search Fund" has been removed. There is no PayPal button to make donations. Kristi's picture has been changed to a younger, thinner one. Sure doesn't help to look for her if the picture is years younger & pounds thinner. Really would like to have a current one. One that looks as she did the day she disappeared.
The Reward Flyer was not in the newspaper this week, but a "Thank-you" from the family was.
Also, on Nov. 4th, the day the paper came out with the story that this case has gone cold, with no leads, no suspect, no...anything, the Family Search blog showed a picture of a helicopter that is being used by LE to help in the search for Kristi. I saw that helicopter, or one exactly like it...paint, markings, color...fly low over the area near where I live. This was in the late afternoon. I heard it take off (that is a very distinct sound...) and watched it gain altitude as it headed "to town".
There was alot of LE activity in the area that day, Nov. 4th. I started hearing sirens early afternoon. After living here so long you get an idea of just where the sirens are...on the 4 lane, then you loose the sound, hear it again, and they are on 325, then you can follow the sound and know its coming "down the hill, round the bend" getting close... Well I heard the sirens and they came down the hill but didn't get around the bend before they abruptly stopped. Heard this several times during the afternoon. Then I heard the helicopter fly over a couple of times. And I heard it land. Awhile later is when I not only heard it take off, but I saw it, too. I had gone outside to see just what the activity was. It was scareing my grandchild. I had a real good idea just where the activity was. Around 6:30 pm a family member was coming out the 4 lane, was passed by 6 LE...flying. They turned on 325 and then into the old Shell station. Further on 325 about 1/4 mile past the site where the cell was found there were 6 LE pulled off on the side of the road. They were in the field with lights. There is a creek that runs through there and that is about where they were. The family member told me that there was talk about the LE activity that was going on there all day. Something went on that brought out alot of LE activity and a helicopter, too, BUT NO MENTION OF IT IN THE PAPER, and no one in town knows anything. Plenty of speculation, but no facts. Interesting, huh??? You haven't heard anything, have you??
Posted 11/15/2009 at 02:42:59 AMI haven't heard a thing. And I did not like that "thank you" in the paper. Very strange. Like they know something. Very mysterious.
Posted 11/16/2009 at 12:19:29 PMI agree. I had a similar feeling when I saw it.
I was looking in the paper for 2 things...
1) information about what was going on on Nov. 4th on 325 with all the LE presence in that yard.
NO INFORMATION WAS IN THE PAPER!!!
WHY???
2) to see if the Reward flyer was still in the paper.
NO FLYER WAS IN THE PAPER!!!
WHY???
BUT, saw the "Thank You"...
Something else strange is the removal of the paypal donation button from the family's website and the "Reward & Search Fund" title being changed to kust a "Reward Fund". They are NO LONGER soliciting funds from the public for the search for Kristi.
WHY???
Stranger still is RC has his lake front house up for sale to "raise funds" for the families private search. It is being handled by a "Auctioneer" rather than a "Realator". Not that I find him trying to sell the house for "funds", just the manner in which the house is to be sold.
Posted 11/16/2009 at 07:45:54 PMWHY???
To Sandy:
To us, it seems odd some of the things that people choose to do when they have lost a loved one. I'm not implying that she is dead, but once someone is classified as missing, some of the family start to feel they have lost them or will never see them again. I know this because my family went through the same thing several years ago. Things that the adults did to ease their pain (and ours), or in this case to raise money, seemed odd to the outside world but made perfect sense to them at the time.
To Susan: I don't believe that witness protection is really an option. Usually if someone is put in witness protection, their children would be taken with them. In addition, if she felt that she was unsafe to a point that she would need to go into hiding, she probably would not have been walking along the side of a street alone.
Sometimes LE has information that they do not release to the public. Other times, they hit a wall and the family presumes the person is dead and begins their own self preservation by acting like the worst has happened so as not to be disappointed in the future if a body is found. In the end, we all speculate because we want the happy ending to come even if "happy" only means closure. I pray that they find out more, but it will take even longer for the public to learn what the family may already know.
Posted 11/18/2009 at 02:58:01 PMConcerned Citizen:
You obviously misunderstood what I said. I DO NOT find it strange that RC has placed his house up for sale to raise funds for the "Family Search". The only thing I had thought strange WAS the manner in which the house is to be sold...BY AUCTION, rather than thru a Real Estate office. I have since reviewed my thoughts and find IT IS the quickest way to get it sold as the market is so slow right now. I had felt that a property appraised at $500,000+/- a few thousand would not bring fair market value at auction, but after further review and consideration, if the lowest acceptable bid is set close to the fair market value of the property, than sale by auction is the quickest way possible to raise funds for the families search efforts.
I, in no way, am finding fault with the way the Cornwells are trying to raise funds. I find it heartwarming that RC cares so much for his sister that he would sell his personal property to obtain the money necessary to continue searching for Kristi. If you read the Family Blog you will see a "Disclosure Statement" about the monies received through donations for the "Search Fund". You would also see that the "Reward Fund" was made by the family, not through donations.
Another "strange" observation I raised was that the blog no longer has a "Donation" button for the public to make donations for the continued search efforts for Kristi. I am well aware of the expense this family is incurring and only wondered why the "Donation" button had been removed. I felt it "strange" since their search efforts are still on-going and, in view of the monumental expenses they have already incurred, I know they will continue to incure more expenses and would be in need of further public donations.
Susan's question about "Witness Protection Program" is as good of a possibility as any other thought that has been discussed. Kristi was living away from the area while attending College. She was "visiting", not living, at her parents home when she was abducted. Her child is living with the father, not Kristi. Her paternal grandmother had recently passed away, the funeral two days before Kristi was abducted. Perhaps, while attending the funeral, someone from her past (that she posed a threat to) saw her, realized she was "back in town", made Kristi aware of their intent to do her harm, she made it known to authorities (GBI), and hence the "arranged" abduction. No more less of an option than any other idea. And as far as the child being taken into protective custody with the mother, the child is safe and protected right where the child is. Perhaps the walk that evening was her part in an "arranged abduction", afterall she would have to be out on the road so she could be abducted would she not? Anything is possible. Until there is closure, regardless of the outcome, ANY scenerio is possible.
Posted 11/18/2009 at 05:34:15 PMIn my opinion from my Psychic information that I received Kristi has not been whisked off as a protected witness but was abducted and murdered and her body disposed of in a wooded area.
That is also the opinion of several other psychics and astrologers who have been gathering information on the case and have posted it widely on the internet.
The man who hired the two abductors has an airtight alibi from what I am reading on the internet and he may never be brought to justice.
Posted 11/20/2009 at 05:57:30 AMWas the mans first meeting with kKisti on the internet just a chance meeting as it appears to the world or was it brought about through a search engine so he could meet her and set her up for the kidnapping and Murder?
Posted 11/20/2009 at 06:03:21 AMIf the above post is a possibility, who had the original idea to get rid of Kristi and why?
Throught the internet it is would be very easy to set up chance meetings and arrange hits without anyone being the wiser.
Posted 11/20/2009 at 06:10:31 AMOut taking her usual constitutional on that rural road showing why you should break up your routine. She looks like one of those sweet, ignorant, Jesus-loves-everyone kind of gals; too bad she doesn't believe in the right to keep and bear arms. Struggling with a 5'5, 150-pound woman it would have to be a strong man as you'd want a quick abduction. Did a car come from behind with the surprise? But that would involve 2 abductors, the driver being on the opposite side. And her, "Don't take me!" scream, like she knew the person. Either way she was wanted alive but she's decomposing now.
Posted 11/20/2009 at 06:51:53 AMThis morning Kristi appeared to me in a Vision and in the Vision she appeared in a long white gown and she appeared turned upside down.
Posted 11/29/2009 at 06:18:26 AMI said is that Kristi in her wedding dress?
A voice said yes and the upside down in the white dress means the wedding plans were overturned by the Abducters.
I need to add to my last post, forgot something.
Posted 11/29/2009 at 06:28:39 AMI am told by the spirit world the people who abducted Kristi will not find peace until they confess to the crime and show authorities where they put the body.
I was told this after I was told the restless spirit of Kristi much like many victims of these crimes latch on to the ones who are responsible for the crimes against them and they haunt them day and night until the ones responsible for them are brought to justic end as we know some people are so tormented by the acts they commit that they cannot find peace and at some point in time we have death bed confessions but hopefully these make things right before that point in time because it would be a shame of the spirits of the dead caused them to suffer until they die of old age.
CVT im not a pshychic but ive had the feeling shes been gone for awhile... i hate to say that cause id like nothing more than for her to come home to her family...Im without words but one thing i do know is that spirits do remain and some dont go into the light because of their lives cut short...I think u are right in saying she may haunt these people till the confess...sinc ei was a kid ive seen spirits and it at times was so scary... but now i dont see them as much as i am older. Still praying for Kristi and her family and hope she will just go on home to the relatives that has passed on if in fact she really is gone.
Posted 11/29/2009 at 08:58:29 PMAnyone hear or see the helicopter flying around the Jones Creek Rd area last night (Tu nite)? Anyone know what it was all about? Just wondered if it had anything to do with Kristi. Around 6 pm.
Posted 12/02/2009 at 02:53:01 PMThe are many covens associated with witchcraft and Satan worshippers located throughout the US including the northern Georgia region and it is my belief that Kristi was abducted to serve as a ritualistic sacrifice. I suspect her abduction was likely a random & opportunistic act created by her being in the wrong place at the wrong time. She would be a prime candidate to serve as a sacrifice because she was female, relatively young and attractive. When human sacrifices are made to Satan, young women and children are preferred because their sacrifice symbolizes the domination of evil over innocence and purity. I have no doubt that such sacrifices are the driving force behind the large number of nationwide disappearances involving women and children who are never heard from again.
Posted 12/03/2009 at 04:49:49 AMTo nightwriter:
While it is always possible that someone is kidnapped for the purpose of human sacrifice, I seriously doubt it is as common as you claim. Historically, different cultures used human sacrifice as a way to show dedication. Today, people call it sacrifice when it's blatant murder. Also, if it were as frequent as you say, we would hear about it in the same manner that we hear of human trafficking, serial rapists/murderers, etc. I am not disputing that they may happen, I just think they are rare.
Posted 12/03/2009 at 01:13:42 PMThe fact we don't "hear about" widespread ritualistic human sacrifices doesn't preclude their existence. Those who practice Satanism, paganism, witchcraft, etc. form very secretive closed societies or cults and they are quite skilled in their ability to remain well below the radar. A sacrificial ceremony can take place deep within the mountain backroads or even someone's basement without ever being detected... the only ones who know are those who are present and they're of course sworn to secrecy since they're personally involved. If you perform an online search for "Georgia covens", you may be surprised by how many cultist organizations exist just in Georgia alone. I'm in no way implying that ALL abductions are for sacrificial purposes but I believe a large percentage of those involving women and children are.
Posted 12/03/2009 at 01:53:47 PMCornwell Press Conference
Dec 4, 2009 ... CLEVELAND - The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has scheduled a press conference for Monday in the case of Kristi Cornwell, the Blairsville ...
www.wneg32.tv/index.php?option=com_content&view=artic... - Similar
I found this while surfing and decided to post it for those interested.
Posted 12/06/2009 at 01:13:16 PMI wonder what case the GBI is referring to in NC ???
Posted 12/06/2009 at 01:29:16 PMI read on an Atl news site that it is related to the attempted abduction in NC that was a week before. Remember there was much discussion on either this site or WS about that attempted abduction, witnesses, description of a truck, and some information related to possibly seeing that truck in a camping type area in NC just north or Blairsville. I sure hope that LE gets a break and can make an arrest.
Posted 12/06/2009 at 10:35:49 PMFinally some news coming! so, if this has to do with cherokee valley in some way and an attempted abduction, then that points to the red, or was it green, pick up truck following that jogger eleven days prior...
http://www.11alive.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=138427&catid=8
and it would tie in possibly with that report someone wrote here about guys being rowdy in a pick up truck near some hiking trail and boyscout camp. i can't find the posts now, but they were in this thread.
Posted 12/06/2009 at 10:36:58 PMYes, you are correct; and if I recall.... someone gave LE some tag numbers from the camping area because the "things seen there did not seem right". I believe one description of an older redish truck was discussed... just cannot recall whether it was the description of the attemped abduction vehicle.
Posted 12/06/2009 at 11:01:48 PMI believe this link will take you to the story.
http://www.cherokeescout.com/articles/2009/08/21/news/doc4a8b08c3c365f829821584.txt
Sure hope the news conference will help bring some facts to light and hopefully an arrest.
Posted 12/06/2009 at 11:10:42 PMThanks for the link, i'll check it out again. it said in the news this morning they will have a sketch of a suspect. why the hell has it taken this long for them to get active on this lead? Burns my butt!
Posted 12/07/2009 at 12:50:31 PMWill someone please post what they say at the News Conference. I don't have tv. I will turn on the radio. Thanks. Really wish this would end for everyone, especially the family.
Posted 12/07/2009 at 01:24:03 PMHi Susan. I didn't see the presser as it didn't seem to be on HLN at lunch time, but I did find this article when I got back to work...http://www.ajc.com/news/gbi-releases-sketch-of-229441.html
It includes a sketch and a picture of the suspects car. A silver Xtera, so not the red pick-up truck we had heard about in the other story. I guess the story in Murphy went unplublicized at the time.
Posted 12/07/2009 at 02:56:49 PMWe just updated the story here, Susan: http://www.truecrimereport.com/2009/12/kristi_cornwells_kidnapper_may.php
Posted 12/07/2009 at 03:04:16 PMThe article below also shows the kind of SUV he was driving:
http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/news/article/26913/
Posted 12/07/2009 at 03:30:48 PMJadensmokes said, "It includes a sketch and a picture of the suspects car. A silver Xtera, so not the red pick-up truck we had heard about in the other story. I guess the story in Murphy went unplublicized at the time."
I live near the Ranger Community and not a word has been said about this attempted abduction ... the red pick-up incident stalking the female jogger in Murphy was a completely different scenario.
Posted 12/07/2009 at 03:54:01 PMAnd the Murphy stalking incident was publicized in the Cherokee Scout weekly newspaper.
Posted 12/07/2009 at 03:57:54 PMWhy are we just now getting this information? This angers me very much. I live less than 4 miles from where this "kidnaping" took place. I am a rape victim......... I want to know if I am safe in my neighborhood..... We could have been watching for this vehicle for weeks. It has probably been sold or trashed. And again, this brings up many questions. Was there one or two "kidnappers"? If only one, was it someone Kristi new, and willingly got into the car with or how did one man get a struggling woman into his car?? I think we are back to square one. Or are we trying to solve an attempted kidnapping in NC?
Posted 12/08/2009 at 01:38:56 AMKeep in mine as I write here I am just analyzing and writing like everyone else.
The sketch and car no doubt comes from the woman in NC who was in danger of being abducted and may or may not actually have to do with the abduction of Kristy but they have nothing other than that to go on so maybe it will help them apprehend the abductor in the first case and at that time they will possibly be able to tie it to Kristi.
I have no way of proving what I have gathered as a psychic but I personally do not see the two cases being connected at all, and I believe its just a coincidence that the other woman and kristi's abduction and attempted abductions came a few days a part.
Having said that since no one much listens to psychic detectives and astrologers and the like I guess I will just have to follow the case to the solving and compare the facts they uncover to my psychic detecitve work and see if I am right or wrong.
Having said that I personally have nothing further at this time to write about the case but will follow it and see what transpires as time goes on.
Posted 12/08/2009 at 04:17:03 AMI believe the GBI has some type of evidence that the two cases may be connected .... they both happened about the same time 9:00-9:15 p.m. (almost dark) .... the first case was only 25 miles from where Kristi was abducted.
And yes susan, I feel the same as you about the public not being informed about the first attempted abduction .... I would imagine many females walk for exercise at the Ranger Community Center.
Posted 12/08/2009 at 12:37:10 PMOne report is saying the morning of Aug 2nd and the other is saying 9:00pm. I was under the impression that LE was linking the time if incident or it could just be poor reporting .....Which is correct?
In the http://www.cbsatlanta.com/metronews/21889037/... it says "Agents said that on the morning of Aug. 2, a woman was walking along a road toward the Ranger Community Center when a vehicle pulled up behind her and knocked her to the ground."
In the Gainesville Times http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/news/article/...
it states... "On Aug. 2, nine days before Cornwell’s disappearance, a woman was walking along a road near the Ranger Community Center at approximately 9 p.m."
The incident in Murphy (jogger) was around 9pm at night also.... I wonder why that incident is not being considered also since the places are so close in proximity.
Any "word on the street" since the vehicle description and sketch have been made public?
Posted 12/08/2009 at 03:47:00 PMA couple of things:
1. There is no evidence that the Ranger, NC case was an attempted abduction. The facts, as they have been stated, are that a woman was struck while walking in the evening. The man driving got out, but when another car came, he jumped back into his vehicle and took off. She saw his profile as he drove away because his window was open.
2. The police didn't wait 4 months to put this incident out to the public. It was months after Kristi's abduction before this woman came forward.
3. For people angry at LE because they are scared, that's silly. You don't need the police to tell you to be careful. You should always be careful. Predators are roaming day and night just looking for someone who's an easy target. You should always assume that dangerous people are on the loose.
Posted 12/08/2009 at 04:47:02 PMElle, The police did wait 4 months! The woman in NC tried to report it but the Troopers there didn't file a report. When Kristi went missing again, she called again.
http://www.ajc.com/news/gbi-releases-sketch-of-229441.html
When one lives in a rural area they do so in order to feel safe and out of harms way of predators roaming day and night. I don't blame the locals for wanting answers. I am not local, I live in one of the most dangerous cities in America, but I too want answers about Kristi.
Posted 12/08/2009 at 05:11:33 PMdozens of tips have come in after release of e-fit of man and truck
Posted 12/08/2009 at 05:36:02 PMhttp://www.ajc.com/news/dozens-of-tips-come-232360.html?cxntlid=daylf_artr
Thanks jadensmokes for the documented details on what and when.
The driver (he) hit her, she was knocked down, then he got in his vehicle and left the scene - sounds like hit and run to me. Maybe there are some additional details that have not been yet stated that caused the Trooper to not consider making a report of hit and run. Also, would like more details about the 2nd car that drove up (he/she), if he/she got a good look at the male driver, did he/she stop to render aid to the woman?
Still concerns me very much that it has been several months for the descriptions to be released. Although LE is not saying when they were contacted by the Ranger woman, I suspect it was not too long after KC went missing - meaning they probably knew then (likely several weeks ago) what was released to the public on this Monday. I hope this is the right direction to reveal the perp in KC's case. At the same time.... it is promising that many new tips are coming to GBI.

In looking at the Family Watchdog for sexual predators living in NC and fitting the E-fit photo and description of the perp in the NC hit and run, these gentlemen hold particular interest to me. I am terrible with faces, but the e-fit of the perp isn't all that telling, is it!
Matthew David Picon
Murphy NC
24 y.o. 2nd degree rape
Matthew James Miller
Franklin, NC
23, kidnapping minor
Robert Nicolaas Benepe
Brevard, NC
22, sexual battery
Daniel Michael Johnson
Brevard, NC
34(looks younger), sexual offense with certain victims
Jerry Mitchell Crisp
Robbinsville, NC
26, sexual battery
There are others there, but they are child abusers according to their charges. I was looking more out of curiousity to see if anyone struck familiar when I saw them. I thought I would share the research, I think you can look them up by name at that site too.
Posted 12/09/2009 at 01:07:03 PMThanks jadensmokes for checking the NC site and sharing info. Sure wish they had a side profile phote posted on the Family Watchdog site.
Posted 12/09/2009 at 08:50:15 PMCheck out the NC DOJ registry... you can search by name.. it gives more data as well as side profile pics for most in the registry.

Posted 12/11/2009 at 01:06:08 PMThis is a post from way early in this thread:
Victoria Bragg said:
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.
Posted 08/19/2009 at 04:44:37 PM
I was google-mapping today after reading this again. what struck me in this post was that there were actual "facts" told, such as location, name, age, etc. When they said they were looking for a guy in his 20's, it just struck me as strange...that someone would kidnap a woman 15 years+ older than the perp. Then I remembered, I thought when I had read this post thinking a 20 something sounded strange.
now, if you will google Sparks Road Storage, Morgantown, GA which is northwest of Blarisville, and you will find a Sparks Road, and to the west of that a Holly Ridge Lane. There is a small pond or lake between those two streets off of Sparks Road, and that holly ridge leads to and there is a stream that runs north to south that feeds that lake. The two roads are off of highway 515/2/76. The area is located between Murphy and Bairsville. If you are travelling north on 325, nottely dam road, then take loving road going west, it runs back into the appalachian highway 515/2/76. Turn left on that road, and you run into sparks road and holly ridge lane.
i wish le would check this out. and if there is someone named jesse from that area....well, bingo!
Posted 12/13/2009 at 10:09:06 AMoooo, scratch those directions, she was taken from jones creek road. so if you travelled north on jones creek road and take a left on blue ridge highway, it turns into sparks road. 8[ where was the phone found?
Posted 12/13/2009 at 10:16:36 AMi should have asked where on nottely dam road was it found.
Posted 12/13/2009 at 10:20:49 AMJadensmokes:
The cell phone was found only 1 mile from Hwy 515 on Hwy 325.
A person familiar with the area could have done 1 of 2 things:
1. tossed the phone and turned around and returned to 515, then left on 515 towards Blue Ridge, (you would come to Morganton first)
OR
2. tossed the phone and continued on 325 to Loving Road, turning left and following Loving Road until it returned to 515. Morganton is just a short distance from that point.
I am not quite sure where the places you are talking about are, but I'm going to take what you wrote and look at the maps. I had looked at this post also, but wasn't looking this close to home...but closer to the Dalton area, never found anything there that I could connect the dots with.
Thanks for the information.

Posted 12/14/2009 at 12:06:09 AMjadensmokes; The phone was found on 325/Nottely Dam Rd. I believe across 515/76. However, if you go in a big circle, you can go into Murphy and take Hwy 64 to 60 and come back right into Morganton. And by the way, I was raped 4 years ago, tomorrow. Age is not a factor. It is about power. I was 56, my rapist was 17.
Posted 12/14/2009 at 12:13:00 AMohhhh! Susan, I am so sorry that you had to go through that. Yes, I know it is definitely more about power than anything else. I just thought it strange, as it would seem easier to wield power over a younger, frailer girl than one that has had training in self defense and looked like a powerhouse such as Kristi. I sure hope I didn't offend you, it was most definitely not my intention.
So, you have a large desire to help Kristi be found for very good reason.
I hope they caught the monster that did this to you and that he is still in prison somewhere. Blessings to you and your family for your continued healing.
Thanks Sandy for confirming what I was thinking. I would imagine directly after the abduction the perp was pretty stoked and maybe tried to stay off of the more major roads and keep to the backroads, especially if a local guy. I wish this Victoria Bragg would come back and tell us of anything else she may have percieved. I like that she gave some solid facts.
This Jessie guy that she mentioned, although someone else said it could not be him, he sure fits the bill as far as age and general description. He's on the offender's list. I guess you could say just about anyone can fit the efit drawing they came up with, it is pretty generic.
I just hope with the new leads and connections, that the perp in this case can be found and incarcerated and the Cornwell family can have closure. I still hold out on hope that Kristi is alive somewhere... I suppose I always will until otherwise is proven.
Posted 12/14/2009 at 11:57:25 AMNo offense taken Jadensmokes. He is serving 15 years without early release or parole for the rape/weapon and escape. He took their plea bargain because the evidence was overwhelming against him. I pray that this has not happened to Kristi. I feared for my life and I begged for my life. I still pray that Kristi is alive and well. It is something you never get over.
Posted 12/14/2009 at 03:11:02 PMSusan, I wish for u healing and somehow hope u can put this behind you...my prayers are with you and also for Kristi...cant understand why men do this. God Bless you always and may God guide kristi home to her family.
Posted 12/14/2009 at 11:05:36 PMI sent an email to Victoria Bragg. She apparently has a presense on the internet so I easily located her.
Greetings Victoria,
You made a comment at the True Crime site regarding your impressions about the disappearance of Kristi Cornwell.
She is still missing and without a clue to LE where she may be. In the last couple of weeks, LE has been distributing an e-fit composite sketch of someone they think may have been involved in her abduction. http://www.ajc.com/news/gbi-morgan-county-sketch-237492.html
The site where you made the comment on 8/19/09 is located here: http://www.truecrimereport.com/2009/08/missing_in_georgia_kristi_corn.php
I was wondering if you have had any additional insights into this case and if so, would you be so kind as to post them to the true crime report site?
Thank you and may you be further blessed.
~Maybe she can give us some further insight.
Posted 12/15/2009 at 12:38:25 PMOkay, locals...do any of you personally know LE in town there? Is there any way that you can get Victoria Bragg's reading to them? I am so frustrated with them not having answers after this length of time, and feel that they need to investigate every possible avenue. Victoria has given concrete hints at where they may be able to locate Kristi. She feels very strongly about what she has seen and who this person may be. Please!!! Can anyone get me in touch with a local LE, or can someone please forward this information to them to check very closely? She has said she will try and post again here. She also said that no one would pay attention to her when she called after this happened. Please???
Posted 12/15/2009 at 03:39:57 PMJadensmokes:
Posted 12/15/2009 at 08:08:34 PMI have copied your information and speculations. I know several of the UCSO personnel. I will pass your thoughts & ideas, along with the link to this site, to them.
Was just on the Kristi Cornwell site. This has been posted in the last few days:
"Candlelight Vigil 12-20-09
The family of Kristi Cornwell is holding a candlelight vigil to celebrate Kristi’s 39th birthday. The candlelight vigil will be held at Meeks Park, Hwy 515, in Blairsville, Georgia on Sunday, December 20 at 7:00 p.m. Everyone is invited to attend. For those unable to attend, please pause at 7:00 p.m. and pray for Kristi’s safe return."
http://kristicornwell.com/
Posted 12/15/2009 at 08:22:55 PMThis is such a sad way to celebrate the birth of your child/sister/cousin/neice/granddaughter/friend...I'm in tears. I so want closure for this family. Prayers to Kristi & her family.
Has anyone checked Doug Davis' web site lately? I did and found that ALL mention of Kristi has been removed. No prayer requests, nothing about Kristi...
http://www.elianagodanswers.org
I'm going to pass this information on to the UCSO, too.
Posted 12/15/2009 at 09:23:04 PMjadensmokes; If you are referring to the post that leads to Morganton.... my mind is boggled, it is almost midnight. If that is the one, Morganton is not Union County. I've only lived here a year, so do not know any of the LE. Sandy, do you? Anyway, Morganton is Fannin County, I believe. So, UCSO would have to work with them, which they should be cooperative, one would think.
Posted 12/15/2009 at 11:47:29 PMThanks ladies, i wrote to Victoria yesterday several times. she is certain in what she tells. she has seen the efit and this is the man she had seen early on. i know that some people discount what psychics have to share. there were several psychics that predicted right here, but for some reason this one had actual tangible and factual clues. names of roads, name of perp, age of perp, height of perp...the perps description matches the description of the guy in the efit. she gave her actual name when posting, not a screen name. she's putting her reputation out there as a person and a psychic without hestiation. i hope someone will listen. i hope that instead of the candlelight vigil that the family can have closure of some sort by christmas. again, thank you so much for passing this along. i hope that the le takes it seriously enough to look. in her prediction she said that hounds would find her, so hopefully this is it.
if you believe in god, and you believe in an afterlife, then psychic communications should also be believed in. the only problem is there are only a handful of real psychics, and i believe victoria to be one of those real ones.
thanks again....so much. and i will definitely be having a moment for kristi on her birthday
Posted 12/16/2009 at 07:12:19 AMSusan: Yes I do know UCSO personnel.
Jadensmokes: Will you post Victoria Braggs e-mail address so it can be included in the information sent to the UCSO? If she doesn't mind.
Posted 12/16/2009 at 04:30:00 PMvictoriae@tds.net
she has this email address on her web site, so i don't imagine she would be mad about me posting it here.
Posted 12/17/2009 at 07:20:05 AMWhat did Victoria Bragg say about Kristi's abductor? I believe her email would be victoria@tds.net .....

Posted 12/17/2009 at 02:31:43 PMI 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.
So, we'll see how good of a psychic Victoria Bragg is.

Posted 12/18/2009 at 11:29:45 AMHi all. I've been reading this blog for the past few hours. I wanted to know all the details about the case. I'm from Blairsville and am 29 years old. I live 3 or 4 miles from the Cornwells. I usually go for a run close to dark but was home after recently finding I was pregnant (I had a miscarriage about a week or 2 later). I've taken many late evening walks my entire life there. Jones Creek is no different. It's always been a safe area. I've always left keys in my car and doors unlocked. Although I will probably never do so again. Where the Cornwells live it is secluded for a short distance. No very close houses. Many cars go through there. But at night most of Blairsville traffic dies. Kristi's mom was an elementry school teacher when I was in elementry. She's now or maybe last year, was my niece's technology teacher in elementary school. This entire side of the county most people know each other. And most have been neighbors their entire life. There is a lot of National Forrest in that part of the county. Anybody know if they searched Coopers Creek, Rock Creek, and the Noontootlah areas? For some reason, I've felt pulled to think about Coopers Creek. But for all we know, they could be anywhere in the country waiting for a large ransom. Sometimes I've wondered if Kristi may be trying to help somebody get a large sum of money to share when they "find" her. I didn't know her, but knowing her mom, I don't think any of the Cornwell's would be a part of that. I've even suspected her boyfriend. Maybe he had financial trouble and he came up with this plan to pay debts and didn't care about Kristi afterall. I pray to God they find an answer soon. I can't imagine how painful this is. I worked at Union County EMS for a couple of years, was a member of the Search and Rescue Team, and a volunteer firefighter at Station 2 on Jones Creek (until I moved to Fannin County.) I know a lot of the guys on the SAR Team and Sherriff's Department. When something bad happens in our County, they take it personal and will work their butts off to make it right. If they are being hush hush, it's because of a very good reason and/or the GBI has ordered that. These guys are by the book, yet show compassion in every case. I can speculate why they are not following up on psychic leads. Just my opinion and not theirs. We are a Christian based community and serve God in all ways. We don't really believe in psychic ability. Nor have we ever been exposed to it. I do believe that God reveals things to certain people that he has given "gifts of the Spirit" to. He gives people the ability to prophecy in His name. Not through "spirits" or "universe guides." No offense. So, it may be very difficult to have them look into any psychic visions. If you have good proof or feel very strongly about a certain area, just tell me. I'll be happy to go check it out. I grew up here and know all the backroads and forrests. I'm not going to knock anybod's "ability", because maybe it is from God. Not sure if this was mentioned in earlier posts....The morning after Kristi was abducted, there was a woman murdered not even half a mile off Blue Ridge Hwy on Hwy 325. They caught the guy about 1/2 a mile from where I live on Hicks Gap Rd. Not sure if the murder was that morning or the night before. LE doesn't think it was related to the Cornwell case. I would have been part of the Search if I had not had a miscarriage. If I hear anything, I'll pass it along. God Bless all of ya'll! It's great to see people hundreds of miles away care so deeply for the case. I know if it happened to me, I would wish for the same care and concern. Merry Christmas.
Posted 12/22/2009 at 04:26:30 AMDo you know the name of the person arrested for the murder the morning after Kristi was abducted? It seems very close to where she was taken to not be related.
Posted 12/22/2009 at 08:40:10 PMHis name is Richard Bishop and he is in his 70's and he knew the woman he killed.
Posted 12/22/2009 at 11:39:36 PMI wanted to wish all of you a Merry Christmas. I so hope that they find Kristi soon. I sat quietly for a bit on Sunday night to pay her homage.
Melinda, I can understand your reluctance about psychics, and that your community feels the same due to religion. But, it has been over 4 months with no leads...none! It wouldn't hurt to go to the pond off of Sparks Rd. and have some dogs sniff around. It's as credible a lead as anything else they have apparently gotten. There are many psychic posts on this thread, but this one rings so true with all of the details. Details that have something concrete to them...the age, size, coloring of the abductor. It mentions names of roads that exist not too far from where Kristi went missing. Too many good details foretold not to pay heed, IMO.
Posted 12/23/2009 at 10:38:54 AMHas ANYONE looked into this site? It carries a lot of info! One of the pictures on there looks like the sketched drawing!!!!

Posted 12/26/2009 at 02:42:33 PMhi snick. yes, i have and listed the names of those that matched the efit description early in this thread. not too far back. thanks though! i wish le would take a look at this site and the family watch dog site. i guess they have though. i sure hope they have iron clad alibis on all of them. but, who knows?
Posted 12/27/2009 at 08:22:06 AMKristi is the best friend I have ever had and I miss her so much. My heart breaks every day I can not talk to her or see her and I still pray she will come home. I search for her daily and sob at night knowing she is still out there somewhere. I have had dreams of her and she seems sad and with anyone that knows her, she is not a sad person. She is such an uplifting,loving person that you just always want to talk to. May God be with her and protect her until she returns to us!!!
Posted 12/28/2009 at 11:07:39 PMPay attention to your dreams she could be trying to reach you through dreams from the spirit world and she might even direct you to what happened to her, and you might recognize some of the people she tells you about and it could help authorities to catch the ones who kidnapped her.
Posted 12/31/2009 at 02:47:45 PMThe bible has accounts of people having psychic impressions, so there is no reason why a Christian should shy away from psychics. Prophets are in the bible. A prophet foretells the future. As long as the prophet is correct, the prophet is a psychic. Besides, many psychics are Christians.
I had psychic visions and other psychic impressions about Kristi's abduction in either 1983 or 1984 and told them to a federal investigator. The things I told the investigator about a number of crimes, my dreams, and my life became the basis of Medium TV series. I am the woman who dreamt about crimes and had other psychic experiences.
The investigator had introduced me to Glenn Gordon Caron and said they were friends. The investigator said they would use the name "Cornell University" in one episode because it is similar to "Cornwell." In an episode in season six (the present season), "Cornell University" is shown in writing. It's probably near the beginning of the episode. Ariel wants to go to school there.
I don't think he told the authorities in GA about my psychic impressions though, so I called the tipline. Gail wouldn't let me say what my impressions were. She said she'd take my phone number and an agent would get back with me. No one ever called back. I was told by a psychic investigator that it is legal in all 50 states for psychics to be used in investigations. In the past, I called the gov in TX and was told that it is legal in that state. I called the AZ gov and was told there didn't seem to be any laws against it in that state either. I checked the laws on the AZ website and I didn't see any against it. Also, I didn't see any laws listed on the WV website against using psychics. I'm not aware of there being in laws in GA against using psychics.
My impressions were about events before her abduction, the abduction itself, and some events following Kristi's abduction. Most of the things in my impressions have been reported to have passed, so there is no use getting into those details. My visions are normally literally true. But visions can be symbolic. Unfortunely, in my vision of Kristi being abducted, the images were vague. I saw two vehicles and two people with black around there heads walking toward her. I got the feeling the people were men. I don't know why there was black around their heads. The blackness reminded me of auras, so that could be the explanation, but they could have had black hair, black hats, etc.
I saw the front of one of the vehicles but not the back, so I can't say what kind of vehicle it was. It looked like it could have been a pick-up truck or a SUV. The other vehicle was a car and it was ahead of the larger vehicle. At first I didn't see colors, but the investigator asked me what colors the vehicles were. Then, I saw the larger vehicle was white and the car may have been orange or red. She said, "Don't take me." The investigator thought she must have said, "Don't taze me," but that's not what I heard. I thought it was odd that she would say, "Don't take me" because it indicated she knew she would be kidnapped. How could anyone know? I don't recall any psychic impressions that would answer this question, but I can use logic to think of possibilities. Maybe someone had told her that he was going to kidnap her and she thought he was just joking until the men showed up? Or maybe someone warned her and she believed him? Or maybe one of the people held handcuffs?
I saw a vague image of her at a female relative's wake before the abduction, but I don't presently recall picking up on anything happening there that could clearly be connected to her abduction.
I had a vision of a man on a computer. I don't want to say more because it could jeopardize the investigation. The police should call me about this because it could help the investigation. I don't think he was DD, but rather another man.
I picked up at least two events that were going to take place after her abduction, but I can't reveal one of them here because it could mess up the investigation. However, it might be good for the police to know, but they haven't called me back. The other event has been in the news already. It was about the man who showed up at one of her relative's homes wanting to help with money. The investigator was afraid the man was there to harm someone. I said that wasn't the case; he offered to help. To my knowledge, the media didn't say anything bad about this man, only something good.
I hope this case is solved, and I pray for Kristi and her family. If someone wants this case solved, then he will ask psychics with good reputations because the case hasn't been solved without them. Psychics don't solve all cases, but they have solved a large number. I know because I personally helped solve a number of them.
Posted 12/31/2009 at 08:40:52 PMTo Christine:
I am happy you posted here and introduced yourself because I believe the show Medium is a great show and really tells it like it is.
My watching the show I realize that you and I as psychics work in about the same way through dreams and visions. and in my case I have a guide who says he is the soul records who can look in to the past and future and we connect through remote viewings whereas I touch the stories and pictures of mising and murdered people and sometimes get a replay back to before the crime happened and like you in the tv show immediately the full picture unfolds.
I believe by we psychics posting on various websites and in blogs we can help to remove some of peoples skepticism and disbelief in what we and other psychics are trying to accomplish in our work, and doing so more people in law enforcement may listen to more of us and let us help in helping to solve cases.
I for example have gotten the complete plot behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy and former Teamster Jimmy Hoffa but few people believe my story.
Perhaps you have yourself had some insite into these cases and maybe if more Psychics can give various views from their own work I might be able to get someone to believe what I have been trying to tell the world since 1986 when I first began trying to get others to listen to what I am getting from the World Beyond as a psychic.

Did you notice the link at the bottom of the article? It refers to a story about a 21 year old man who is BACK in Cherokee County custody for yet another assult on a woman. This is the direct link:
http://www.cherokeescout.com/articles/2010/01/05/news/doc4b43ac041a681735490130.txt
If it doesn't work, look for the following at the end of the article you posted above:
McKay facing kidnapping and assault charges
Marble is within 5 miles of Murphy. Murphy is about 15 miles from Fires Creek where back in August a poster, Teresa, said there was some strange things going on around the time of Kristi's abduction. Reports of a white SUV and a red truck seen in Fires Creek at that time. Now months later this person was picked up in a home on Fires Creek Road on assualt charges against a female.
If you look at the story, he has a history of violence against females. If you compare him to the sketch of the Ranger POI...possible.
Look at it...What do you think?
Posted 01/06/2010 at 09:51:45 PMoh my sandy! yes, it could be the same guy in the efit picture, with longer hair of course. he definitely has a history, and he and another man were arrested at the fires creek road address for rape earlier in the year...october. this guy looks like he's been in trouble for the same offenses (kidnapping and sexual assault/rape) multiple times. i think he's a very good candidate to question in this case, and the other two where there was attempted abductions. good catch by you, and thanks for the link.
i hope this means we are getting ever closer to the truth and finding kristi.
you psychics, please look at the article that sandy posted and give us your feedback as to if this guy is a fit to what you've seen.
Posted 01/07/2010 at 07:51:00 AMInstincts say:Ms.Cromwell,was technically able to defend herself to some degree. The Movie Bones came to mind. Chloroforming, could have been the technique used to subdue her. My gut says, this is related to a drug conviction and she was being stalked unknowingly. She probably made it difficult for one of the drug cartels out of South America. On the other-hand; could this be the work of a serial rapist/murderer
Posted 01/09/2010 at 02:53:03 PMsky high:
It's CORNWELL not Cromwell...
Posted 01/09/2010 at 11:08:36 PMWith her training, sure she could defend herself...
Small, rural Ga. is NOT south Florida so how could you assume that her past employment would be related to a South American drug cartel...
Just what is your FINAL "gut"...drugs/SA drug cartel influenced OR serial rapist/murderer???
and, finally
How does the movie "Bones" relate to Kristi's abduction...I am unfamiliar with the movie...never heard of it, let alone seen it...enlighten me, please.

After watching this video, I doubt if the McKay person in the Cherokee Scout newspaper artice posted above is involved in Kristi's abduction if the letter to LE from a grandma about her grandson is true and not a sick, twisted joke.
I pray this letter is the break that LE needs, that the grandma who wrote it comes forward with names and location of her grandson. That he is found, positive ID is made, Kristi is located, and the family receives closure, then judicial justice. Would love to sit on that jury!!!
Posted 01/09/2010 at 11:33:05 PMI hope you don't mind me answering the bones question.
Bones is the name of a weekly television show and its based on a famous forensensic pathologist and she quite often works on crimes where she and her colleagues kick around theories as to what may have taken place that led to the crime and who did it.
As I read some of the posts above as to whether these men killed Kristi or not I went to webslueth Forenensic Astrologer and on it Tuba one of the women writing about this case rom the beginning has said whom she thinks did it and as she wrote on her latest post she says if these men are behind the abduction then they are behind the first person of interest she named as the mastermind.
As I wrote into my posts on the case even before I read the Astrologers post I meditated on Kristis case and I came up with the same mastermind that the Forensic astrologery cast her net over.
I believe from my psychic information that Kristi was kidnapped and killed by abductors hired or somehow talked into carrying out the job for him and of course he has an alabi and thats the way some of these things work sometimes.

Christine Duvall, Although there is no against LE using psychics in GA, this is their thoughts on using unconventional resources during investigations. This will explain why there are over 425 missing person cold cases in GA...
I don't think he told the authorities in GA about my psychic impressions though, so I called the tipline. Gail wouldn't let me say what my impressions were.

Posted 01/13/2010 at 06:21:20 PMSo you know things are not at a stand still. There appeared to be 2 helicopters "searching" along the mountains this afternoon. Go you guys....... Good luck. I hope you find her.
Posted 01/14/2010 at 05:58:45 PMPsychic Information:
This is my latest contribution as a psychic.
last night as I sat here on the computer a voice from the spirit world said:
Hi I'm Kristi.
I was taken aback for a moment because she had spoken words to me in the past but had appeared in a vision some time agao.
A few moents later I heard the words:
"Still with Davis"
This tells me the focus should still be on Davis as the Mastermind behind the dissappearance of Krisi, and yes I know he has an alabi but from the things I have gathered from Kristi i believe he may have sought Kristi out on Facebook and met her and began this big romance he speaks of to set up the arrangement for someone else, and he hired several others to kidnap her while he was in Atlanta with an airtight alabi, and I fear if someone doesn't listen to a psychic he may get away with this.
I feel he may be able to also hide behind the church and his religious connections and this brings me to a case here in my hometown where a priest murdered a high ranking nun and he got away with it for more than 22 years before he was finally arrested and brought to trial and convicted and now he sits in prison still declaring his innocence of course but I personally know he is guilty because I got it straight from the nun who appears to me quite often as a guide, and she said she was killed int hat case because she knew too much about what was going on behind the scenes with some of the priests and the nursing students and others at the teaching facility she was connected to.
That of course has nothing to do with the case of Kristi but it does say don't let killers hide behind religion.
And don't think that those who mastermind killings dont almost always have an airtight alabi.
Quite often a group of people are behind these kinds of hits and by involving many they are able to provide alabis for those who are closest to the victim but even then that person may have someone else having him go in and hire the hit men and in putting so many into the picture its hard to get to the original person who wanted that person to disappear.
Note: the other day i saw a mountain and two streams were coming down and at the bottom I saw a black clump and that is to pinpoint a body but how far apart those two mountain streams are I do not know because I was seeing it from high up in an aerial view.
Posted 01/15/2010 at 02:45:34 AMThanks for the update, Susan/Blairesville.
Wolfscratch, good to see you again. I read the Blairsville topix about your struggles with LE. Very interesting, you and the lady from Florida. Keep up the Good Fight. I can't wait to read your links re: Tara.

A vehicle going in the opposite direction was speeding. The pursuing officer, made a U turn and went after the speeder. The POI vanished.... This happened a couple of weeks and was observed on the police scanner...
They don't have a clue, nor do they want one, IMO...

wolfscratch: am slightly confused by your above post...are you referring to an incident that happened right after Kristi was abducted...or is your post above indicating that a similar incident happened just recently?
Where did you get this information...a link to the source would be appreciated.
Posted 01/17/2010 at 11:43:51 PM"Susan, Blairsville said:
So you know things are not at a stand still. There appeared to be 2 helicopters "searching" along the mountains this afternoon..."
Posted 01/18/2010 at 12:20:28 AMSusan...What area of the mountains did they appear to be "searching"? Since I have a pretty good idea of where you live, around BE's farm...looking at the mountains from there...was it to the left (towards owltown), straight/slightly right (Skeenah Gap), OR towards the right (haven‘t any point of reference)? I have always wondered if the cell phone was planted to be easily found by LE to lead the investigation in an opposite direction from the “escape” route. If this was done by someone familiar with this area…it would be to simple to go south and be out of the area by using the back roads…slow, but within 45 minutes your in much larger towns/cities…Dahlonega, Cleveland…and two ways over the mountain to get there…Hwy 60 can be picked up at the end of Skeenah Gap…
Sandy, sounds to me from Wolf's post that someone was listening to a police scanner a couple of weeks ago and heard this transpiring.
Next time LE, go after the POI car, leave the speeder alone. You can always find another speeder, but you may be hard pressed to find another person matching the POI.
Posted 01/18/2010 at 11:23:06 AMHey Sandy... there were 2 helicopters and they were criss-crossing the mountain range. It looked like they were going from around Brasstown Bald to Dahlonga. And yes, I am next to that farm, not far from Skeenah Gap.
Did I read in an earlier post about someone using the money to build a helipad? BE lands here all the time in his helicopter.
Posted 01/19/2010 at 09:39:25 PMSusan, the Cornwells built a heli-pad on their families property off 19/129N (Murphy Hwy)a few months ago...They are using it as a staging area for their aerial searches by plane and helicopter for Kristi...
I know BE is in and out all the time...cracks me up!!! LOL
Jadensmokes, That is how I read Wolfscratch's post...If it is true that the incident he referred to was recent, THEN there was ANOTHER sighting of a VOI (White SUV) just after Kristi was abducted (in August) in Towns County...Wonder which county, Towns or Fannin, Wolfscratch is talking about in his post. The North Georgia News, www.nga.com ran a story about the incident in Towns County the latter part of August. I also read an account of it in the newspaper for Towns County, late August I believe.
Just want clarification of when the incident occured that Wolfscratch posted about. If there was only 1 sighting or has there been 2 sightings of VOI's by area LE.
And I agree...If LE sees the VOI, KEEP THE VOI IN SIGHT, FORGET THE SPEEDERS, DRUNKS, ETC. AND CALL FOR SEPARATE BACK-UPS...one for themselves and one for the law breaker. But for goodness sake focus on Kristi. Revenue generated by a speeding ticket does not justify losing the possible link to solving Kristi's abduction. JMHO

RE: wolfscratch: am slightly confused by your above post...are you referring to an incident that happened right after Kristi was abducted...or is your post above indicating that a similar incident happened just recently?
Where did you get this information...a link to the source would be appreciated.
There is no link available. It was an observation, while listening to the police scanner about 3 weeks ago now, at 8AM EST.
It frustrated a friend of mine so bad that he was cursing and just started hitting and kicking things.
I didn't give the county due to possible retaliation, but it is south of Union county and North of Pickens County, GA.

Hi i'm madeline and i have known Douglas Davis for quite some time. He has always talked negative things about Kristi. He has worked for my dad and once we saw him on his knees in the backyard of our house praying and saying he wants everthing to be alright with him and Kristi. The next day after Krisi's disapperance he said he was moving to new york amedently. But he went somewhere else and called me and said he can not have any contact with anyone because he was afraid if the cops would track him down. He killed Kristi Cornwell.
Posted 01/21/2010 at 05:18:27 PMMadeline,
There are quite a few people that think Douglas Davis did this. Is there anything you can tell us to help the police bring Kristi's killer to justice? Are there any friends of Mr. Davis that may have helped him do this?
Posted 01/22/2010 at 11:44:03 AMMadeline? Why are you just now commenting about this and have you informed LE? Personally I do not know nor do I want to know DD, but I think he is a sleeze, anyway.

Posted 01/27/2010 at 03:20:59 PMHave a question...Couldn't LE in Florida use his description and try to get a match with the DMV for a drivers license, then run a list with the vehicle description, and cross-reference them for a possible match. I know it would be simple if the tag number was known but isn't there a back way to getting his idenity???
Posted 01/27/2010 at 09:36:05 PMI suppose they could, Sandy. I'm afraid Florida has so much of it's own unsolved crime, missing persons, etc that doing for their own will far outweigh doing for another state.
Posted 01/28/2010 at 10:16:35 AMDid she have a six year old daughter whos fathers name is Steven Shields who lived in Georgia, but now lives in CALIFORNIA?
Posted 01/30/2010 at 05:00:11 PMCharmaine, I believe Kristi only has one son and he is approximately 15. But that's only what I have read in news, not first hand knowlege, as I do not know Kristi personally.
Posted 02/01/2010 at 05:30:22 PMDoes anyone know which states Douglas Davis has lived in? It would be interesting to know if or when he lived in FL.

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.

I think this is a very good idea. Not likely to work, but you don't know unless you try. If this was done in all similar cases, then eventually it should help in at least one of them.

Posted 02/05/2010 at 06:24:35 PMSamantha's question has been answered on the multiple forums that she posted it on.

Witness Protection. You nailed it ghosthunter.
Christine I have looked at DD in depth and have not came across a Florida address record. That does not mean that he did not have a connection or ties to the area though.
GBI said in one of the more recent news stories that they were considering the release of additional information in the case. I wonder if that means details of the crime scene or the cell phone call? Regardless, they better make a move soon or risk this becoming yet another Georgia cold case.

You would think, after the Meredith Hope Emerson, Fiasco, the GBI and UCSO would update their antiquated policy of keeping the public in the dark. The eyes, ears, and minds of the public is a very powerful and free resource that is being ignored due to egos, IMO.
Catch the suspect, prevent any further innocent victims being abducted, and worry about the prosecution later. This 'us against them' attitude by the GBI and Local Sheriffs Departments, specifically UnionCSO and FanninCSO(Good Ole Boy Network), has to cease, in the interest of Public Safety for our families, friends, and loved ones...

I think they reserve info in order to get a conviction later after interviewing a potential suspect....once they let a detail slip that wasn;t released.
I think that you are right it would be good to use the help of the public....maybe in investigating similar vehicles that are being worked on or for sale in FL or surrounding area.
As an aside, having a cleft chin may be a good clue. Cleft chins are strongly genetic and run in males of a family.
I'm hoping something breaks in this case soon.

Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony
cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as
soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in
civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined
under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

They are appealing to the letter writer in any way they can. By encouragement, by pointing out legally what she's facing and by giving her an out with witness protection.
Someone at InSession said they should check with local hardware and lumber supply places as the letter writer indicated the grandson was there to make repairs to her house. I think that's a marvelous idea.
The deal about the car repair places makes sense too.
What makes the MOST sense is for LE to throw a bone out every once in a while for responses like they got from the letter writer. Heck they waited how many months before they released the E-Fit pic of perp and car? I don't want them to reveal what could lead to a solid prosecution, but they have to have an arrest before they can prosecute. They have to have a POI, then a suspect, then nail em...but first they have to get a POI! What better way than to solicit the public's help. Sheesh, it's not rocket science! It requires hard work, lots of research, and in this case apparently, a break from joe-blow citizen to break this open.

Posted 02/11/2010 at 02:45:45 PMThe Media Management of the GBI, in abduction investigations is obviously antiquated, the crisis decision making in the Meredith Hope Emerson: Blood Mountain Hiker, Investigation was bordering on incompetence, the missinformation relayed to the public and downright lies borders on criminal, IMO.
The lack of professionalism and leadership portrayed by the GBI and the Union County(GA) Sheriffs Department, during and after the Meredith Hope Emerson Investigation, should be obvious to a novice sleuther.
All media; Local & National, should hang their head in shame due to their silence in this fiasco; before, during, and in the aftermath of Meredith Emerson's tragic Murder. They are complicit.
Union County Sheriffs Department, as of this date hasn't even entertained the idea of a preplan for future abductions in their county.
Kristi Cornwell, abducted on 08/12/09, should highlight the neccessity of a preplan. Walmart, a retail establishment has the foresight to establish an abduction plan....
Director Vernon Keenan, of the GBI, needs to be put out to pasture, IMO.

S/A HOWARD asked TABOR if he attempted to contact the GBI when HILTON had called him on January 3,2008. TABOR became visually upset and began to cry. He stated that he did not attempt to call anyone. HILTON contacted TABOR at approximately 4:41 p.m. and asked him for money. After taking the call, TABOR attended to some business requirements prior to receiving a call from ASAC JESSE MADDOX at approximately 6:30 p.m Though during the phone conversation TABOR told ASAC MADDOX that he had been trying to call, TABOR clarified to S/A HOWARD he had not actually tried to contact law enforcement. TABOR stated that “I thought we had him, the ruse was set up for tomorrow”. TABOR never contacted anyone about a “ruse” or about HILTON calling him. TABOR only provided the information about HILTON’s 4:41 p.m. call when he was directly asked by ASAC MADDOX (Two and half hours later on the phone, in the late evening of Jan. 3, 2008).

'Huddle House & the Phone number; is indicated on caller ID, as verrified by me, yet Tabor, indicated that GMH called from a cell phone. The GBI’s time of arrival was 9:00PM.

Posted 02/12/2010 at 01:50:40 AM4.Interesting Comment and insight, from the TDO Forum Cheryl Dunlap, by NoGA Native:
I think kidnapping, rape, torture, murder, mutilation, and decapitation, etc. confirmed in 4 states over several weeks qualifies as a depraved serial killer, as several separate victims are confirmed. That’s not glorifying this guy, that’s the facts.
I saw this guy in the Chattahoochee National Forest in October ‘07, and later took the GBI to a campsite (Lumpkin/Dawson County line, USFS FS road 28-1, Nimblewill Gap Road, camp confirmed by the GBI) on the same day of the recovery of Ms. Emerson’s body. I’ve met many others who say or dealt with him in Georgia before his capture.
———–
I believe the speculation that Hilton took Ga Hwy 53 west to Dawson Forest from the turn-around in the snow above Dahlonega on Hwy 129 is wrong. He turned off Hwy 129 at Turner’s Corner and drove in to national forest off Hwy 60 past Wimpy Field, the US Army’s Camp Merrill, on to FS 28-2, past Camp Wahsega, and later, on to Ga Hwy 52 then south to Ga Hwy. From Hwy 52. Bailey Waters road connects to Afton Bridge Rd, and Amicalola House and on to Lindsey Ford/6 mile camping area, site of the recent double-murder in Dawson Forest, and on to the north end of Dawson Forest off Hwy 53 to High Shoals Road, where Ms. Emerson was later killed. Passing along the area Wolfscratch writes about. The Huddle House and Ace Hardware are west on Hwy 53.
Not only did the GBI fail to act on the direct tips from the Huddle House (not just the late admission by the complicit Tabor about the Hilton call from Marble Hill) that may have saved Ms. Emerson if the GBI had not bottle-necked tips and contacted county LEO in Pickens/Dawson/Lumpkin, but the GBI failed to act with smarts or dispatch to tips of sightings of Hilton in the Nimblewill area while he had Ms. Emerson. Instead of contacting local LEOs, including DNR rangers who know the area, and Amicalola State Park LEO/staff, GBI officers were sent to check the state park registry. Had they told the local services, and local media, the area would have been swarmed, instead of everyone wasting time on Blood Mountain.
Why was the GSP and DNR helicopter not on Blood Mtn? SAR team was told high winds, yet WSBTV heli was all over the mountian, landing at Vogel State Park. Was the governor, who got his helicopter license last year, and has had to make restitution to the state for heli-taxi trips, out for a flight? Check that out.
I have lots more on all this. I’ve waited the 2 years to start writing about it, and my focus will be on what the 4 states LEO contacts by federal FS, state officers, and county officers let slide, and most especially, how the old-school approach of the GBI worked against a good outcome. Had White County GA court filed the bench warrant for the abandonment of the other Astro van in the national forest above Unicoi State Park (2005), also near the AT, and also not far from Rabun County’s unsolved 2006 murder of a women found in the woods, this felon could have been arrested any of the many times he was pulled over or run off by the many officers who interacted with him. At least PC for a search would have lead to all the stolen goods he chose to retain from the car break-ins at trailheads, and cabin break-ins. Who were his fences? Who were his buddies?
In today’s communication-driven era, the British approach to crime solving–especially abductions and murders–of getting as much information out to the public as quickly as possible–usually results in a better outcome and quicker arrest or rescue. The GBI did not want even the info about the baton in the news, and Ms. Emerson’s roommate and others acting to get that out on WSB-TV/AJC led to witnesses immediately coming forth who were on Blood Mtn who ID’d Hilton. He was known to Vogle park, USFS LEOs Tipton and Arrowood had run him out of Rock Creek in August, NC LEO had run him out of Rock Gap AT shelter earlier, and a NC conservation officer sent him on for camping in a wildlife clearing off Wayah Bald Road, NC, and both of these are near where John Bryant’s body was recovered, and the FL women was last seen (Bryson City). FL also reports multiple agencies with LEO contacts in more than the forest where Ms. Dunlap’s body was recovered. The shotgun shell parts at the John Bryant body recovery scene, along with the death by gunshot weren’t explained, yet USFS and ATF burned 400 acres of the Pisgah’s Pink Beds area last year after finding a felon’s camp with gunpowder and bullet-making gear near–a precaution we’re told. A buddy? This guy was a drifter, too, and also a felon.
Much more to share, later, but the focus isn’t on how smart this guy and his deceit of being an ‘MS-stricken, Vietnam Vet on perpetual maneuvers’ odd-ball, but rather on how the multiple counties, states, and local, state, and federal agencies are not equipped to track such a person. Walmart does a better job of tracking shoplifters than our agncy databases. Isn’t that something we can affors to fix? LEO lives are on the line, too.
My call and email to Transylvania county the morning of Jan 3 strongly encouraging them to contact and follow what’s going on in Union Co Ga was ignored, as was my call and email of Saturday night, Jan 6 to Leon County detectives that they also check out the then-arrested Hilton. In both cases, in a few days, they went from publicly telling the press ‘No Connection’ to ‘prime suspect’ as the van full of evidence told the story. That the GBI chose to completely ignore so much evidence at the site I showed them the following Tuesday, with no admitted knowledge of either the Bryant or Dunlap cases, was very unsettling. Their reason was ‘not in the time frame’ meaning they only were concerned with the soon-to-be-closed Emerson case, making no effort in the field to look at the weathered material on the ground in front of them. (Some of the clothes and pillow cases, etc. are still there.) We may have been looking at Ms. Dunlap’s or Mr. Bryant’s clothing–articles that NC LEO might need to tie Hilton to that yet-to-be-indicted double murder we know he did.
I, for one, resent the new American politics of starving government, and my Republican Governor has reduced funding for the GBI, closing some of the offices that worked this case, and reduced the DNR game ranger (LEO) staff that works these woods. The Tuesday discovery of a dead, lost 84-year old Alzheimer’s sufferer in the Cohutta National forest, stuck in the forest service road, is another case of what happens when the safety net goes away. Same with the Saturday morning double-murder at the boat launch on the Amicalola River in Dawson Forest a few weeks ago. The Guv did get a new $18 million jet last year, and was at the Dubai Air Show last month. Meanwhile, the DNR goes wanting. And the federals, well the 6 officers and 2 ATVs for all of the 800,000+ acres of the Chattahoochee NF, is also close to having no coverage. Their budgets were stripped for off-shore wars, yet security in our public lands seems to be of a low priority. Subsidising airline security should be paid for by the flying public, protecting the commons should be a shared responsibility.
And Florida national forests are worse, but at least USFS LEOs can carry shouldered AR-15s when they are driving out squatters and meth heads from our public lands. REade about squatters in the Ocala NF, and meth labs.
And as to how many victims this guy got away with, who knows. The Troup county murder of December 07, unidentified burned decapitated women in bags with a Chamblee Dominos pizza coupon–that’s Hilton territory and on the path to Florida, but this nameless victim had a short news cycle. And the several missing women on the other side (west) of the Talladega NF in Alabama–Albertville and Sylacauga come to mind–any of those agencies even know of this guy Hilton? Or the unsolved murder of the 48 year old in Damascus VA, an AT town, fall of ‘07–just a few hours north of the Pisgah? If not Hilton, then it sure makes the case for a big relational database-that could even have public and LEO partitions for data. Can that be the good that could be made to come of these crimes? Not if our political will doesn’t demand it–and it starts with a healthy questioning or even a stern criticism of how the GBI and others chose to treat this case.
And, the last Hilton camp with the bagged trophies found in the Chattahoochee–that wouldn’t have even been looked at by federals if we weren’t still concerned about the most recent unsolved abduction in Union County…vote for resources and demand competent LEOs.

Posted 02/13/2010 at 08:04:31 AMHi Wolfscratch, I see you're clogging up a Kristi thread again with GMH stories. I respect all of your knowledge on Meridith's case, I really do ...
If you could apply 1/8 th of that drive and energy towards looking at Kristi's case (NO GMH references, slamming LE or conspiracy theories) you would be an invaluable resource. You have a lot of knowledge of the local area.
What do you know about the area around Pisgah Forest and Brevard?
Posted 02/15/2010 at 04:29:33 PMWhat I find strange is that if she screamed "Don't take me." and she was on the phone with her boyfriend, the boyfriend should have automatically called the police, and any sane person would do the same, but it was reported that the boyfriend first called her mother, and i'm pretty sure a missing persons report was filed several hours later... I along with many others find the boyfriend's story very very strange, and think that the police need to be looking more into his stories and stuff... sounds way too much like it was a set up, and very ironic that he was on the phone with her at the time of the kidnapping. Also very strange is that kristi has been known to "run off" for years at a time and nobody know her whereabouts.... just very strange, but we do pray for her safety and her family is in our prayers.

Claims the Age first arrested was 12 years old for breaking and entering (1958).
Hilton admits to the 1982 firebombing of house of Ex-girlfriend's brother (the Green's) in an attempt to kill him, says the charges were dropped for lack of evidence. The younger sister who identified him was 17 at the time. Hilton was age 36.
Hilton admits to past homosexual behavior, but denies current tendencies
Hilton claims past excessive use of alcohol, Quaaludes, Amphetamines, Cocaine, and Marijuana, denies recent use of anything but Marijuana
Hilton claims current Murder charges for Meredith Emerson are not due to drugs or alcohol
Keep in mind these are mostly things Hilton is claiming.

Posted 02/24/2010 at 05:36:25 AMThis my last update on this site for Gary Hilton..
Psychic Update on Kristi from one of my Guides in Spirit.
Recently he showed me himself walking through the woods like a forrest area and he was walking down hill which indicates to me that the road he is coming from is higher up like a ridge and he is walking downhill and at the bottom of this very stepp area is some sort of stream and Kristi's remains is to be found in this general area.
I know that may not lead us directly to her but in the past when I and others saw her at the foot of a hill near a stream I thought well how did she end up at the foot of the hill did he bring her across a flat area and place her there and this is the answer that came that tells me no the road is higher and she was brought down from that road area and taken deeper into the forest area going down hill.
Posted 03/02/2010 at 05:58:35 AMSomewhere in this I mentioned a route and I said I believe she was taken to the right and disposed of but at this time I can't find my notes and didn't go back to check since I just sat down here to write and someone in spirit is helping me to tell this and connect it to other posts I made earlier somewhere in these comments.
For those who know Kristi personally do you know if there is a man in her life who has black hair and wears glasses?
Posted 03/05/2010 at 12:00:26 AMI 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.

FBI Behavior Profiler: Pioneer of the BAU:
Proactive Techniques: Reaching out to the Public
This is just one function we perform. As I mentioned, to see that as all we do is a limited view. In fact, toward the end of my career in the FBI, I was doing fewer and fewer of those sorts of profiles. We were doing a lot more crime scene analyses, crime reconstructions, and spending more time developing and incorporating proactive techniques for ongoing investigations.
These proactive techniques are among the most exciting advances we've made. Sometimes we'll use the amazing power of the media to get potentially identifying information, like copies of handwritten notes and descriptions of probable post-offense behavior, about the criminals we're looking for out to the public. Somebody out there knows something about our UNSUB or about a suspect, but they may not fully realize it. They may need us to connect the dots, to present some information that will help them understand what may to that point have been no more than a funny feeling or vague suspicion they've had about their brother, boyfriend, aunt, co-worker, and so on.
In one instance, at the suggestion of Jana Monroe, an extraordinary agent in my unit, we publicized an UNSUB's handwriting by mounting a billboard campaign in Tampa Bay, Florida, the location of the 1989 murders of Joan Rogers and her two daughters, who were vacationing in the area. We posted an excerpt from directions we knew the UNSUB had written by hand on a brochure and given to the victims, and which was found in their car. Within three days, witnesses had come forward to identify the person whose handwriting they recognized from the publicized excerpt, and they all named the same man—Oba Chandler, who was convicted of the three murders in 1994 and is now sitting on Florida's death row.

Anyone interested in attending, many Family Members of the missing, Profilers, Volunteers, Law Enforcement Agencies,K9 search teams, LE Sketch Artists, etc..
Monica Caison; Founder of CUE Center, is very dilligent and when she takes on the commitment to find a missing person, there is no hurdle high enough or obstacle to large to discourage the Search...
CUE Center for the Missing, would be an Excellent Asset in the search for Kristi Cornwell. Sure hope UCSO or a Family Member of Kristi's attends this conference. They have some very valuable programs and resources.
Dr. Godwin: Geographical Profiler, will be in attendance at the conference.
A wealth of information could be mined from this conference..

Posted 03/08/2010 at 05:11:52 PMRob Neufeld on books: WNC novel fictionalizes trails serial killer
Rob Neufeld • COLUMNIST • February 28, 2010
Romance, a sociopath, and a Blue Ridge Mountain summer camp compete for top billing in Rose Senehi's novel “The Wind in the Woods,” and you might say the camp wins. The novel is one of 15 current books published by the new Boone-area outfit Canterbury House, which seeks to advance good writing, regional settings, suspense and stories of hope.
Canterbury's best-selling titles are the “Ride” series by Alabama writers Edie Hand and Jeffrey Addison (a.k.a. Don Keith). Their novella, “A Christmas Ride,” tells of miracles of reconciliation experienced by a family on Christmas stays in the mountains.
“The Soldier's Ride” involves visitations in a cemetery and an appreciation of war veterans' struggles.
Senehi taps another inspirational source: efforts to preserve wilderness and use its effects to build character in youth. She launches her book at four locations in Western North Carolina, March 7-14 (see box).
Creepy entrance
“If they only knew who they ushered out of that cell,” Gary Skinner, a sociopath, mutters to himself after being let out of the Buncombe County jail at the beginning of “The Wind in the Woods” (trade paperback, $15.95).
“If everything went the way he planned, by the end of the week he'd have enough cash to head back down to Satellite Beach” in Florida, where the murder of Melissa Hunt should have become a cold case.
Skinner murders people on hiking trails to get their money and bank cards.
Senehi drew some of her details from the October 2007 murder of John and Irene Bryant and from the confession of Gary Michael Hilton, the 61-year-old killer of Meredith Emerson in north Georgia in 2008.
Senehi's lead chapter, in which the reader catches up with the mind of Skinner, is literary and disturbing. Skinner's modus operandi is believably detailed and improvisational.
Very good suspense writing, however, cannot fully deepen the unambiguous division of good and evil in the novel. Skinner's story does not connect with the themes of the other characters' stories except as someone who generates fear and heroism.
(2 of 2)
The flip side
Romance is another matter. A love of Camp Green River is integral to lovers' love. “Almost every couple he knew,” Senehi writes of the camp owner, “Tiger” Morrison “met at camp, worked together at camp, or got together through some camp connection.”
Morrison breaks up with his stylish companion, Liz, because of her disdain for the commonness of camp. Liz wants him to turn over the camp to Sammy, his daughter by his late wife, who died in a car crash with a drunken driver.
Sammy lives and breathes the camp. “She practically grew up learning to look for and recognize anything that grew or crawled around on the forest floor. Over the past 24 years she'd hiked every trail on their three thousand acres a hundred times.”
When Sammy goes on a hike to Ruby Falls with Patrick, a smitten camp counselor, they talk about one of Patrick's charges, Tucker, a math prodigy with a nature deficit disorder.
“Are you familiar with the Fibonacci ratios?” Patrick asks Sammy. Yes, she had read about it in “The Da Vinci Code.” The ratios show up in pine cones, flower petals and other natural patterns, and Patrick figures he “can teach it to Tucker and try to draw him into connecting his number fetish to nature.”
That's the third element in the book: connecting children to an ethic that goes back to the Cherokee, from whom Morrison's ancestors got the land, and to Ernest Thompson Seton, the Scots founder of the League of Woodcraft Indians.
It's an ethic that this region can boast.
“The year 2010,” Senehi writes in her acknowledgements, “marks the 100th anniversary of the establishment of summer youth camps in the Hendersonville/Brevard area, which contains the highest concentration of camps in the United States.”
Rob Neufeld writes the weekly book feature for the Sunday Citizen-Times. He is the author and editor of four books, and the host of the Web site The Read on WNC at http://TheReadonWNC.ning.com. He can be reached at RNeufeld@charter.net and 505-1973.

THE BLUE RIDGE SERIES...
The Wind in the Woods is my second book in
the Blue Ridge Series. Woven through this
story is the 100-year-old history of summer
youth camps in the Hendersonville/Brevard
section of Western North Carolina--which has
the highest concentration of summer camps in
the United States. Hundreds of thousands have
had the most unforgettable summers of their
lives there. The 15 camps in this area comprise
over 10,000 acres, and therefore make up a
considerable section of unspoiled, undeveloped
mountain forests. Loosely modeled on The
Green River Preserve in the Green River
Valley. The Wind in the Woods tells the story
of one camp owner's struggle to preserve his
3000-acre youth camp with the help of the
Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy and The
Nature Cosnervancy.
One of the major plot lines traces the
murderous rampage of 61-year-old alleged
serial killer, Gary Michael Hilton, who
confessed to the murder of 24-year-old
Meredith Emerson who went hiking with her
dog in the Northern Georgia mountains on New
Year's Day 2008 and never returned. I used his
confession to create, in my novel, his stalking
of a young camp employee and the abduction
of Katie Warlick, the 41-year-old camp cook.
Hilton is also the sole suspect in the killing of
John and Irene Bryant, a couple in their
eighties, who were murdered in October 2007
while hiking in North Carolina's Pisgah National
Forest. In deference to the Bryant family, I have
changed them to two widows in their seventies
and put the scene in neighboring Rutherford
County. The book opens with their
disappearance and traces an exact timeline
sequence of the Bryants' disappearance and
subsequent murder investigation.

The psychic next post up from mine, said she had posted prior info, but she could not locate her notes. I intended to go back and repost all of her work, but found the 900 posts on this thread more work than I had time for. I should have clarified my repost of her info, sorry.
Hope all is well with you! Kristi's case has not had anything new in many weeks so we have not spoken for a while : )
Posted 03/08/2010 at 09:00:29 PMThanks Knox...I knew I had read it before! Yes, there are quite a few posts here. I wish we could see progress like this from LE on this case! At least a time line of caring and researching would be nice!

Posted 03/11/2010 at 01:47:10 AMAs in any culture, or in any community spread across this great Nation, there are those who refuse or are unable to adapt to a civilized society, skirting the rules and laws that guide the rest of us through life. Fortunately they are the exception rather than the rule. Due to their selfish need to fulfill their evil desires or sexual fantasies, their lack of empathy for others, as well as their self assurance of remaining anonymous or stealth by hiding behind their masks of normalcy (at least in the darkness of their minds), they resort to the unimaginable, or unconscionable..
These psycopathetic predators, who know no boundaries of sanity, prey on unsuspecting innocent victims. Many of these predators hone their skills with each innocent victim devoured, increasing confidence and causing escalation.
Although, most of these predators have an uncanning ability to shield their motives, their expressionless face, hiding behind their fake smiles, combined with their lifeless eyes can not conceal this lie.
The only effective weapon that we all posses, is Detection: Be cautious, adhere to personal Safety rules, and Trust your 'Natural Born Instincts'.

Posted 03/14/2010 at 11:30:24 PMTurkey Season opening day in GA is next Saturday(March 20 thru May 15, 2010).
Turkey hunters cover alot of territory in the National and State Forests, as well as private hunting lands. They are very observant, have the ability to read signs, as well as a clarity to notice anything out of the ordinary. Due to the prespring season, the foliage is still in a state of dormacy allowing for very long sight distances, as many hunters use binoculars, scopes, and other visual aides.
Many lost victims are located every year by turkey hunters during their hunts and sign scouting trips. One example of this was John Bryant, who was abducted from the Pisgah National Forest, NC, by Serial Killer Gary Michael Hilton, on 10/21/07. His remains were located in a dense Forest 30 miles away, in February, 2007. http://www.maconnews.com/index.php?o...2086&Itemid=37
It wouldn't be a bad idea to spam The Wild Turkey Federation, as well as Turkey Hunting Forums, etc. to increase their awareness.

IMO, this story was spoonfed to the AJC with an obvious expected outcome: outrage the public...
The result being, a dying rag: Hustler which had dwindled to 500,000 publication from a high of 3,000,00. Now will have a publication in excess of 10,000,000.
The Author/Journalist F. Rosen simply filed a FOI Request for all Investigation Files and Reports which included the Crime Scene Photos. This is SOP for True Crime Authors.
Rep Ralston; Blue Ridge and Rep Jill Chambers: Dekalb Co,made a calculated political manuever.
In 1982 Gary Hilton torched his fiancees home, with her and her brother inside. GMH hit a vehicle while leaving the scene. GMH skated after only 4 hours in jail. No charges were filed...The producer of the Deadly Run Movie; Dekalb Co, GA Attorney represented Gary Hilton in the 1982 Arson Case..Said he knew that he was Sociopath, just didn't know that he was violent....
That was 3 decades before his reign of terror was abruptly brought to an end by his final victim Meredith Hope Emerson: Representative Ralston's district...

He set two gallon jugs of gasoline in the carport of the Green family home with 2 strings leading up the driveway where he sat in his “BLACK CAMERO” ( A NEW CAR TO ADD TO THE LIST OF HIS VEHICLES) then set the strings on fire. They, Ms. Green and her family (her sister and brother) members heard a noise ran out of the house and were able to put out the fire with a hose. It happened at 0001 hours. When Hilton was driving off he hit a parked car, thus the hit & run charge. One of the young ladies in the Green family had dated Hilton a few times, but broke it off. That was in Feb. 1982. In May, 2 weeks before the fire on May 28, 1982 he started calling to harass her asking if she wanted to make some money prostituting for him. She said he sounded like he had eaten a few ludes and she hung up on him. He was arrested on First Degree Arson charges and booked into Dekalb County jail. He lived at the time at 5135 West Mountain St. #A-17, Stone Mountain, GA. The report indicates the Green’s signed statements that they knew who the arsonist was and could positively identify him as Hilton, but I guess he just found a way to talk his way out of it or the girls were just too afraid of him and what he might do next.
Case #82-103081 & #82-103082, the report ends with case is closed and cleared, pending criminal prosecution. Hilton signed for a copy of the report on June 11, 1982.

Posted 03/15/2010 at 09:57:42 PMI'm excited about going to the CUE Missing Person "Expanding the Vision' Conference this weekend. Many of the people that I have read about and talked to in the past couple of years, as well as families of the missing and murdered victims will be attending.
The first couple of days consists of classes on topics such VICAP, Profiling; behavioral as well as geographical, search strategies and procedures, etc. Dr Maurice Godfrey, who has worked dilligently on the Tara Grinstead case, will be in attendance, as well as LEO and FBI BAU personnel.
Mark Klaus, will be one of the speakers. I will finally get to meet Monica Caison, who I have the utmost respect for, and really admire her dilligence and persistence when it comes to locating missing victims.
The conference will conclude with a candlelight vigil for of the many missing victims of crime. Many of the victims families, friends, and loved ones will be in attendance. I will be rooming with a gentleman from New York, who is a missing victims friend/family member (Brittanee Drexel)...
Guess we may need an enterpreter, huh..

Have a great time, WS. You are going to be in some mighty powerful company with all those you mention.
Poor Britanee's Dad...coming up on the one year anniversary has to be tough. I wish something would break in her case as well as Kristi's...and Tara. I've read about all three of these women, along with many others.
Also, interesting about Hustler. I guess they plan on doing a story about Meredith. They should interview you for back story! Make em pay though!!!
Pickwick and the Shoals area, no doubt. Been there many a time. Great area. Take care, be safe on your trip, and give my best thoughts to Britanee's father. (Is he Chilean, and therefore the need for interpretation?)
Posted 03/17/2010 at 12:25:36 PMBritany Drexel, Morgan Harrington's families as well as many, many otherfamilies of the Missing & Murdered, were in attendance. Morgans Mother read a poem written in memory of Morgan, by her. It was very spiritual and touching. The Candle Light Vigil held on the Cape Fear River Front was beautiful. A White Sail Boat, quitely sailed by while Mrs Harrington read her poem. Don't know if it was a planned symbol of a dove in flight or coincidence...
RE: (Is he Chilean, and therefore the need for interpretation?)
My roomate was actually a prior fiancee of Brittany's Aunt, He is a NY Native, I am a TN/AL Native. We speak different Languages. LOL
Jadensmokes, have a thousand stories to share from the CUE National Conference, Wilmington, NC, but one in particular that simply fractured my heart:
Let me start by saying that Monica Caison, is an amazing lady whose Vision began over three decades ago, which has been honed to the point of excellence! She has the ability to coordinate searches from alligator infested swamp land, to the Colorado Rockies, Ground Zero NY/NY, to Haiti.. When a victim needs help, they are Priority, 24/7-365. This includes the families. She is an absolute firecracker!
As you are aware I was an Atlanta Firefighter. I was stationed near the Atlanta Stadium in a depressed and high crime area of the city.
On November 1, 1978, only blocks from this station lived a 16 year old teenager named Donna Green. Donna was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital, to give birth to a beautiful baby boy named Raymond Lamar Green.
A Couple days after giving birth, she received a visitor; a teenage stranger that said that her sister had given birth to a baby in an adjacent room. She said that her sister was asleep and ask if she minded if she visited her.
Donna, being polite and always open to new friendships, said that she would love to have her company. Her new friend visited her everyday thereafter.
Once Donna and Baby Raymond was released to go home, she received a knock at her door on Prior Street. Much to her surprise, it was her new friend, that had came to check on her and the baby's welfare.
Donna decided to go upstairs to take a shower and left the baby in the care of her brother. Baby Raymond, got fussy, so her brother was relieved when Donna's friend picked him up and consoled him.
Her brother dozed off thinking that Raymond, was being well taken care of.
'Baby Raymond vanished that day, over 31 years ago'...
Donna frantically called APD and reported the abduction. An investigation was conducted and concluded that Baby Raymond was sold on the Black Market.
A couple years ago, after three decades of anguish, Donna contacted APD to request a new cold case investigation. She found that there were no records indicating the abduction. She presented APD with the newspaper article for verification.
Donna was reading a magazine article one lonely night, a few days ago at 1AM, which was about Monica Caison and CUEs National Conference. Donna, at wits end, dialed her number. Donna, expecting a recorder was shocked when Monica answered her phone, listened to her traumatic story, and invited her to the conference, although the registration deadline had passed.
One of the classes at the seminar was taught by renouned 3D & Sketch Artist: Diane Trepkov.
Monica arranged for Donna to meet with Diane, upon arrival. Diane extracted over 4 pages of descriptive information from Donna's memory as well as other pertinent info and had a sketch completed, which was identical to the suspect, by the following morning. By that afternoon, Diane had a sketch completed of Baby Raymond.
Needless to say Donna Green was overwhelmed that complete strangers would go to these lengths to locate her lost child, by a simple late night phone call...

Has there been any news recently about Kristi? I haven't heard anything and come here frequently to check.
Posted 03/26/2010 at 04:07:46 PMJenn, good to see ya. I haven't heard any updates on Kristi Cornwell, lately. Trying to be optimistic that an observant turkey hunter will stumble up on some signs soon.
Although the season has opened in GA, it doesn't open in NC and TN until April 10, 2010.
Jenn, were you born in Savannah? We were the 'Adams/Graves Family'..Pyburn/Pickwick area. D. Worley is my cuz.

Posted 03/26/2010 at 11:33:08 PMKristi Cornwells abduction is a nightmare that never should have happened. Sure hope we all learn from this tragedy. There's usually a silver lining in the clouds if you look long and hard enough. I'm still looking in Kristi's case.
I am still still debriefing from the CUE CENTER National Conference in NC.
It didn't matter how many traumatic experiences a person has endured in life, or how thick skinned they have become, after hearing the testimonies of the Families & Friends of the Missing & Murdered Victims, you came away with teary eyes...
'If tears were a stairwell to heaven, and grief could make a lane, I'd walk right on up there, and bring her home again'...
The most important thing that I learned from CUE Conference; experience was to never use the word ‘Closure’ around a Family member of a Missing or Murdered Victim…

Posted 04/14/2010 at 11:06:16 PMJames Scott Carringer was the man who killed himself in Young Harris... they are not saying whether or not he was realted to this case but just that "he was a person the GBI wanted to know more about"
Posted 04/14/2010 at 11:10:16 PM◦Monica Caison; An Amazing Lady, Searcher, and Advocate for the Missing and Murdered Victims Families, held a National Conference in Wilmington, NC, with a theme ‘Expanding the Vision’.
One goal of the Conference was to feature and bring media attention to as many victims as possible.
The finally was a Cape Fear River Candlelight Vigil.
During one segment of the Vigil, when Murdered Abduction Victim; Morgan Harrington’s Mother: Gil, was reading a poem that she had written in her Memory, it was dark except for the candlelight, and I noticed movement on the river beside us. It was a snow white sailboat, that was analygous to a dove flying upriver with its lower wing tip skimming across the water..very spiritual, very moving..
Another of the Missing and Murdered Victims: Britanee Drexel’s Family and Friends were in attendance. Due to space availability, I roomed with, and became close friends with a family member of Britanee’s.
Britanee vanished while on Spring Break in Myrtle Beach, NC, one year ago. There has been breaking news in her Investigation.
The following video from Good Morning America, tells the heartbreaking story from the Mother of a Missing Person, and the Hope, she clings too:

Posted 04/16/2010 at 03:13:01 PMHi Wolfscratch and others. Thanks for sharing the stories from the CUE conference. I know it had to be particularly emotional for all that attended. And, what a great story about the child abduction, and subesequent response from CUE.
Now, who is this James Scott Carringer? Where did that info come from? Is it local gossip, or was a story published stating he is a POI? Very interesting. I'll be googling his name.
Sorry it's been a while since I got back to this thread. By evidence of my posting here, be assured I have not given up on Kristi being found.

JSC is a local man who is confirmed to have attempted to abduct a young girl (10, I believe) in Montgomery, AL on Easter Sunday. Two days later,Tuesday, he abducted a female family member in Cobb County...(Kennesaw area)and drove her to Gilmer County (between Ellijay and Blue Ridge)where he raped her. He then returned her to where he had abucted her and released her. On Thursday he committed sucide in ATL. I have provided a link to a local (Hiawassee/Towns County newspaper which has the most information I've seen). GBI is looking for a possible link to Kristi's abduction.

Hi Sandy, good to see you! Thanks for the link. I went and read at Topix after reading the updates here, but am anxious to see the link you provided. I hope that LE is checking out the area surrounding his house as well as any camp sites or anywhere else he frequented. I read at topix that he would just disappear from home for several days at a time and his wife thought nothing of it! That's strange... Also the girl he kidnapped and returned was a step daughter! I think this man had some serious issues. Also read rumor at topix that he was this way because of something that happened to him in his childhood that was not caused by a family member. I suppose they were hinting at sexual abuse in his youth. They are posting at topix at both Hiawasee and Blairsville forums if you'd like to check those places.
Another interesting tidbit, his sister, who also committed suicide a few years back had been married to a Davis. Am wondering if there is a connection to Douglass Davis there. Not that it matters...unless Kristi had been "ordered" by him. Lots of mystery in this case. The important thing is to find Kristi...wherever she is.
Posted 04/28/2010 at 12:19:31 PMJadensmokes:
I've read both since JSC committed suicide. Been on pins and needles waiting for LE to either say YES, he commited or was involved in the abduction of Kristi, or NO and rule JSC out. It has been almost 4 weeks and LE hasn't uttered a peep one way or the other. But they've been tight lipped since the beginning.
Did not post about the sister, but I was aware of her own suicide. FYI, there is a Letter to the Editor in the Cherokee Scout, about a newspaper article written about her death and the events leading up to it, criticizing the newspaper for running the article. In this Letter to the Editor, the writer says that the sister was unable to handle her husbands death of four years earlier. Apparantly her life became unbearable...
As far as DD being related...could be. I believe he had at least one relative who was born in Murphy. This person was living in Mineral Bluff at the time of his death. DD's father was an honorary pallbearer at this man's funeral. The man was in his early 60's. I wonder how many other brothers this person had and if they were born in Murphy. Also wonder if any other of DD's father's siblings bore and raised families in Murphy. DD's father did have quite a few siblings.
Are you aware that DD had an aunt who died several days after Kristi was abducted? She died in a facility in the Blue Ridge area. Her funeral was on (I believe) Aug. 22, 2009 in Mineral Bluff. This was also the date that DD first posted on his website about Kristi. Go back to the interviews he did. The ones about how and when he got the "book" that Kristi gave him. Could those tears be the result of his aunt's death, rather than the pain he claimed to feel for Kristi's abduction, and that he "used" the pain from the loss of his family member to "bring on the tears" in his interviews. Not in any interview was there any mention of a recent loss of a family member...the Saturday night after Kristi was abducted he was supposed to be having dinner with his daughter in Blue Ridge after he had spent the day "searching" for Kristi. Perhaps the draw to the area was NOT Kristi's abduction but rather the remaining days of his aunt's life.
Remember the story DD gave about going up on the mountain to pray for Kristi within days of the abduction? This was during the same time period that his Aunt was dying/died. I just stumbled across his Aunt's obit. looking for something else. There are quite a few Davis' in the Mineral Bluff area that live in close proximity to the church where DD's father, DD's Aunt and this person I believe to be a relative were buried. Would like a family tree...It is possible that the husband of JSC's sister is related...but would need a family tree for that one too.
There are many Carringers in the Murphy area. With most common names in an area you wonder who is related to who. I wonder if the Carringers who are listed with NC DOC are related to JSC. I wonder if the 17 year old accused arsonist from Murphy is related to JSC. Look in the Cherokee Scout, advance search the name Carringer. The pic of this 17 year old somewhat resembles the POI in the Ranger incident. But according to the "official" LE statement, the POI is in his mid 20's. By that this kid is about 8 - 9 years to young. Sure wish they had a profile pic of him. Or a full face of the Ranger POI...
Just some food for thought...
Hope your dry...Many prayers sent for the people in your neck of the woods and points north and east of you.
Posted 05/04/2010 at 10:05:21 PMThis is so sad. You know, I often feel helpless in cases like this, where living so far away from the victim, unable to help with search parties and such. I hope they find her unharmed.
Posted 05/04/2010 at 10:32:26 PMWow, Sandy! You have the inside scoop on lots of stuff in that area!
I read on topix just the other day that LE still has Carringers 3 Extera's in their possession. He had a white, silver and a black one. And, he was definitely not in his mid-twenties. I'm not sure how much weight we should use in the age description given. The Ranger POI drawing didn't look mid twenties but mid thirties to me, and didn't look to be Carringer at all. So, interesting about the 17 year old arsonist. I'll have to do some snooping on that and see what else I can find.
Hah! I was in Nashville the weekend of the floods. Couldn't leave to come home until Tuesday because they had I-40 closed down due to water and debris. Got home Tuesday at about noon, was sick as a dog and tried to go to work. I ended up being off all the rest of the week and just getting back today. Still feel like a wet washcloth, all wimpy, but other than that, all is good with me. my friends in Nashville survived with little damage, but the entire area is just devastated. Thanks for thinking about me! That was way sweet of you. And, thanks for all the inside stuff too!
Posted 05/10/2010 at 01:00:31 PMDallas Dwayne Carrinter, the one that was arrested for attempted arson,, or conspiracy to murder has a myspace page and has logged in by phone. Apparently he's been in jail since december according to a message left there.
http://www.myspace.com/188278554
I couldn't find a sentencing date, maybe because he's too young? Found a Dallas Carringer that died in 1962 by gunshot wound. He lived in Murphy. Broke down some guys door and started beating him and the guy shot him dead.

Posted 05/11/2010 at 07:15:36 PMI watched the news the night Carringer was cornered and comitted suicide in Buckhead. I had a gut feeling about him due to the rape, exterra and the Gilmer Co connection. Guess, we all did, huh.
I feel that Kristi Cornwell will be located if the Investigators will just do some good old fashioned legwork and geographical profiling, timeline etc. Bet someone close to Carringer knows the truth...They simply need to come forward..

Posted 05/11/2010 at 11:24:54 PMI wanted to bring this post to the front again. I still feel very strongly about Victoria and her reading and how it was easily tied to actual places that matched in her description. I also want to say she mentioned "Jessie" and I wonder if James may have gone by that name at one time? If not, those two names are fairly close anyway.

This is a post from way early in this thread:
Victoria Bragg said:
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.
Posted 08/19/2009 at 04:44:37 PM
I was google-mapping today after reading this again. what struck me in this post was that there were actual "facts" told, such as location, name, age, etc. When they said they were looking for a guy in his 20's, it just struck me as strange...that someone would kidnap a woman 15 years+ older than the perp. Then I remembered, I thought when I had read this post thinking a 20 something sounded strange.
now, if you will google Sparks Road Storage, Morgantown, GA which is northwest of Blarisville, and you will find a Sparks Road, and to the west of that a Holly Ridge Lane. There is a small pond or lake between those two streets off of Sparks Road, and that holly ridge leads to and there is a stream that runs north to south that feeds that lake. The two roads are off of highway 515/2/76. The area is located between Murphy and Bairsville. If you are travelling north on 325, nottely dam road, then take loving road going west, it runs back into the appalachian highway 515/2/76. Turn left on that road, and you run into sparks road and holly ridge lane.
i wish le would check this out. and if there is someone named jesse from that area....well, bingo!
~~~~~~~~~
I wonder if LE ever did check it out? I think Susan said she knew LE in that area and would pass it on to them. I sure hope they have, if not, I hope they plan to!
Posted 05/12/2010 at 05:28:37 PMWouldn't it make sense that wherever Carringer took his niece(Kennesaw College student) to rape her would be a good place(Safe Haven) to start looking for Kristi's remains. I was advised that this location was on a logging road off HWY 515 and Cherry Log.
He was a land appraiser, familiar with the geographical area. There would be records and a timeline. Carringer was obviously a narcisstic psychopath sexual predator, who would have been following the investigation very closely, and was very organized.
The letters from the grandmother to the Murphy and Union Co sheriff were possibly sent by Carringer as a ruse or distraction, to throw LE off his trail.
The attempted abduction of the 10 year old girl in AL, would indicate that he had prolly been doing this a long time, had no specific female victim age profile, and was escalating. Once his DNA is entered in the database, I am confident that a few cold cases will probably be resolved.
As in any culture, or in any community spread across this great Nation, there are those such as Carringer, who refuse or are unable to adapt to a civilized society, skirting the rules and laws that guide the rest of us through life.
Fortunately they are the exception rather than the rule. Due to their selfish need to fulfill their evil desires or sexual fantasies, their lack of empathy for others, as well as their self assurance of remaining anonymous or stealth by hiding behind their masks of normalcy (at least in the darkness of their minds), they resort to the unimaginable, or unconscionable..
These psycopathetic predators, who know no boundaries of sanity, prey on unsuspecting innocent victims.
Many of these predators hone their skills with each innocent victim devoured, increasing confidence and causing escalation.
Although, most of these predators have an uncanning ability to shield their motives, their expressionless face, hiding behind their fake smiles, combined with their lifeless eyes can not conceal these lies...
This could make four predators captured from the same geographical area in less that 3 years. Truck Driver Bruce D. Mendenhall: Serial Killer was aprehended in Nashville, TN in 2007 for the murder and rape of a minimum of 6 women in several States including GA. Truck Driver Adam Leroy Lane: Serial Killer(Hunting Humans: Stranger in the House) was aprehended in Dec 2007 NC. Gary Hilton: Prolific Serial Killer and Stealth Predator, as we all know was captured on 01/04/08. The Quad State area around North GA seems to be a breeding ground and fertile hunting ground and safe haven for this deviant culture of recidivist predators.
I am doubtful Carringer will be the last to be stopped or captured..
Carringer confided in someone. They simply need to come forward for the Cornwell & other innocent victim's families sake.

Posted 05/13/2010 at 06:43:58 AM(snipet)
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI ) National Center for the Assessment of Violent Crime (NCAVC), while sexual predators do not always commit homicides, they do typically escalate their criminal sexual behaviors over time. Fantasy plays a key role in the lives of sexual predators, and they are reported (on the basis of extensive research and interviews with incarcerated and convicted sexual predators) to experience violent sexual fantasies well before they begin to act them out. Over time, they progress to the point of carrying out their imagined or fantasized scenarios with both willing and unwilling sexual partners. When sexual predators become lethal (that is, when they kill), they typically refine their means or methods of choosing, pursuing, abducting, and controlling their victims throughout a scenario that leads to the eventual sexual homicide...
great post as always wolf.
he has a rap sheet in north carolina for assault. the proverbial red flag. I want to say it was back in early 2000's.
I have no doubt about his final two debacles that he had escalated his proclivity to harm women. I have no doubt that he has done something like this way before the events in April. There really is no telling how far back this could have gone, and how many unsolved crimes may be attributed to him either through convenience or with clear evidence.
A post by a family member or close friend on Topix-Hiawasee said that something happened to him when he was young and it wasn't his fault. Taking a wild guess, but he was likely sexually abused as a child by a woman. that kind of trauma coupled with some type of imbalance very well could create a serial rapist, turned killer. Let's face it, this guy had some serious issues that ended when he took his own life.
Heard on CNN last night that he sold the silver Xterra shortly after Kristi disappeared. They do have that car in possession now, so hopefully some dna of kristi's may be found within.
I agree, a good ground zero is where he took the step daughter. Any place that he would hike, hunt, fish, 4-wheel, or whatever activities he was involved with, those would be the next places to look. At least now, we don't have to consider the entire world. There is a circle that can be made from young harris to murphy to blairsville and i would concentrate within that circle.
Posted 05/13/2010 at 11:07:04 AMThe stranger on stranger crimes make it very difficult for Law Enforcement to identify the unsub until a pattern is developed or until the predator becomes so brazen that they slip up and make a mistake. The failure to tie similar crimes together and the refusal to utilize all available resources adds to this dilema.

The Kristi Cornwell case just keeps getting more bizarre.
JAMES SCOTT CARRINGER His obituary…..
Community, Obituaries — By Staff Report on April 20, 2010 at 12:55 pm
http://www.iviefuneralhome.com
He was preceded in death by a sister, Crystal Carringer Davis.
——————————————————————————————————————————–
Days earlier, 29-year-old Crystal Carringer Davis of Brasstown, N.C., stabbed her two sons and then fatally stabbed herself, said Glen Conley, a sheriff’s office investigator.
http://mentalhopenews.blogspot.com/2008/07/pair-of-dodge-county-suicides.html
———————————————————————————————————————————
After further looking into “Crystal Davis”, I found several articles that stated that her husband had drowned in the bath tub in 2003 after having a seizure. After his death, her mental health declined and she was in and out of many mental hospitals. She was also a college graduate. Below is a link to a prayer site that has the article posted.
http://boards.nbc.com/nbc/index.php?showtopic=796184&st=0
Posted 05/14/2010 at 09:08:08 AMThanks Wolf. Sandy had mentioned the stuff with the sister of JSC earlier.
We were wondering if the Davis family Carringer's sister was married into might have something to do with Douglas Davis, Kristi's boyfriend at the time of her abduction.
I too worry about LE in that area either trying to close cases using JSC as the scapegoat, or them not finding others that may be attributed to JSC. I just hope they can locate Kristi.
JSC's wife stated that he would disappear for days on end without explanation. I'm sure this was when he was going through one of his "phases". There must have been a place that he kept on the side somewhere to be gone for days at a time. And, I wonder if Kristi may still be held in this place. It's a scary notion, but LE needs to get off their duffs and look, and do it now. Hell it's almost been a month since JSC took his life. If she is held captive somewhere, she could be dead from starvation or dehydration by now.
I offered up a plea at topix to the family members of JSC to please search their minds for where he fished, camped, 4-wheeled or mudded, anything like that and report it to LE. I know they're hurting because of his death, but for crying out loud, Kristi's family has been hurting without any concrete information for 9 months now.
It's confirmed that he is dead. It is not confirmed that Kristi is.

Jadensmokes:
It is mentioned on the Hiawassee Topix thread that he had lived in Sylva, NC at one time during his 1st marriage. That is not that far from Asheville, or Kings Mountain, NC. I believe you "pin pointed" Asheville as "the spot" from a post at WebSleuths Astro Forum about milage from the site of the abduction in, I believe, a NNE "as the crow flies" line. Can't remember the milage they gave.
It is mentioned on the Blairsville Topix thread that his teenage step-son drove the silver Xterra sometimes. Wonder what his name is?
Also, I read an article today (2nd link posted) that said the Carringer family was in Chauncey, (Dodge County) Ga., for a family reunion and wedding at the time of the sister's suicide.

and
http://mentalhopenews.blogspot.com/2008/07/pair-of-dodge-county-suicides.html
I believe there is a whole lot of territory that JSC was familiar with. His employer while he lived in Sylva, NC was stated in the Hiawassee Topix as Coke. If he did indeed work for Coke, I wonder if he also worked for Coke in any other parts of NC/GA? Wonder who he worked for in Hayesville. It was there in 2000 that the assult charges were filed.
I saw your plea on Topix. I hope it is fruitful and someone does do the right thing.
You are right, if Kristi has been held captive this entire time it is prudent that LE find her...like YESTERDAY!!!
Posted 05/14/2010 at 06:04:46 PMonce again sandy, you blow me away with your knowledge of the area, the people and your sleuthing. you too wolf! you two are awesome! that is quite some info and i'll look forward to doing some more web searching myself. i have company coming in from out of town and am furiously cleaning, but can't wait to get started on the search. have a great weekend.
and like you said, like yesterday they needed to find kristi.
Posted 05/14/2010 at 08:24:40 PMI live in the area of Union County where the abduction took place and where the cell was found. I am familiar with the surrounding towns in GA and NC where JSC was raised, and lived. Like you, I go to many different sites. Sometimes I pick up on something on one site that clicks with something I recall from another...gets me to thinking...
I do not know Kristi, nor do I know JSC or his family. The only person I've actually met is Kristi's father because I made a donation to the Wilderness Scouts several years ago. I admire the years that both Mr. and Mrs. Cornwell have spent working with children. And because I respect and admire the Cornwell family, I want to do what I can do to help find Kristi.

Very interesting Link of a study profiling over 400 Child Molesters and Rapists(Predators).
From what is known of the 10 year old victim and the rape of the Kennesaw College student victim, Carringer, seems to break the mold of rapists in many ways:

Posted 05/24/2010 at 12:28:05 AMIf J.S. Carringer is guilty of Kristi's abduction, and IMO he is, he seems to run the gambit of behavioral patterns and traits.
re: Carringer, seems to break the mold of rapists in many ways:
http://harfordmedlegal.typepad.com/f...g_rapists.html
Profiling Rapists
'Rape is not about sex. Rape is about anger and control and violence. Sex is merely the weapon'(snipet)
Disorganized pattern of behavior may carry over to the crime scene as well
•Spontaneous offense
•Victim unknown
•Minimal Conversation
•Chaotic crime scene
•Sudden violence
•No restraints
•Sex after death
•Body not moved
•weapon left
•Physical evidence
Organized Nonsocial Offender
This is a different animal altogether. He's the complete opposite of the disorganized offender. He has very organized, even compulsive, thinking processes and behaviors, which tend to show in his appearance, lifestyle, car, and employment.
This type of offender is organized in everything he does. According to Holmes, "They are nonsocial because they choose to be so." They are loners because they have an enormous ego and feel no one else measures up to them.
These type of offenders are usually very bright, have attended at least some college, "are socially competent and have sex partners." They usually come from a middle class background, are very sociable and are able to con people easily. They tend to hold good jobs but often have a history of drug and alcohol abuse, especially while committing the crimes.
Because of his personality, he's not the type to be suspected of the crime at first. He will take great care in both planning and committing his crimes, as well as getting rid of the evidence.
The organized offender, true to his personality, takes his time and picks just the "right" one -
Other Characteristics [Holmes]:
•Planned offense
•Targeted stranger
•Personalizes victim
•Controlled Conversation
•Controlled crime scene
•Aggressive acts
•Body moved
•No weapon
•Little evidence
Rapist Typology is divided into four main categories: Power Reassurance, Power Assertive, Anger-Retaliatory, and the Anger Excitation (Sadistic) rapist.
"Although Carringer has multiple traits of the four, this category of rapist concerns me the most considering the information available":
Anger Excitation (sadistic) Rapist
This is the Ted Bundy of the group. This is your killer, straight out. But first, he's going to beat and torture his victims. His intent is to degrade, torture, and kill. It's the only way he can get sexual satisfaction. His psycho-social background will include being raised in a single parent household and suffering from physical abuse and sexual deviance. This type of child often shows aggressive and sexual promiscuity tendencies early on. As an adult, he's often about 30-39, married with a family, and lives in a middle class, low crime area. He's intelligent, educated, and usually has no arrest record. He's very good at not getting caught.
This type of rapist puts a great deal of planning and fore-thought into his attacks. He stalks his victims by car, driving out of his area. He often carries a "rape kit" with all his needed tools, such as duct tape, scissors, bindings, ice pack, ski mask, pantyhose, etc.
He will usually take his victims to a secluded area where he can have complete control. He may keep them bound up for days or weeks, torturing and raping them. He will tell his victims what he plans to do to them in order to increase their fear. It's not the injury to the victim which excites him. The fear the victim is feeling is what he needs.
He's very very ritualistic, planning every detail of the abduction, torture, rape, murder, and disposal of the body, if he has become a killer at this point. Everything has to go according to script down to the last detail, including having the victim say specific things to him in order for him to obtain sexual satisfaction. This victim will be lucky to get away with her life.
Posted 08/01/2010 at 01:26:15 AMthere are five main characteristics...you left out opportunistic. Very insightful posting sir, and I think you would benefit from reading some of Brent Turveys articles on the matter...here, if its allowed to be posted
http://www.corpus-delicti.com/typologies.html
Posted 08/01/2010 at 02:54:00 AMJames Carringer actually seems more liked a mixed type. The short amount of time between abductions would indicate someone who was driven by Need and slowly but surely losing control. And the dramatic difference in ages between victims (if he was the same offender responsible for the attempted abduction of the 10 year old girl) would indicate that hes an indiscriminate offender who dosen't require a specific preference to get him off. His MO is relatively the same,(snatching defenseless females out walking alone) and one of the aspects of his crimes that didn't change. (so basically he was selecting victims not based on a preferential characteristic, but rather for the fact they were convenient victims of opportunity for him.)
Posted 08/01/2010 at 03:23:54 AMI should also note that I don't think quite as much time and planning was put into this as you might think, he saw the marks out walking, passed by a few times (possibly to assess potential witnesses) and then went for the Grab. He didn't use any type of con, or ruse to lure them in by less physical means,...he simply drove some distance away from where he lived, and went hunting. SO he was a very mixed offender who displayed organized and disorganized elements as many of them do. The problem with typologizing is that it describes typical behaviors but often falls short of describing the Unique and Individual motivation, or motivations that are running through the mind of the Monster. there can also be more than one motivation, and motivation can change too,.if unique variables come into effect which cause new emotions to arise in the offender.)
