I have always wondered about Maddison and Adam's family and friends and what they have gone through.
Thank you for sharing this. I will help however I can!!

...Clara...I'm going to cry.

The fact that SOMEONE somewhere is taking notice...

If you need anything at alll, you make sure you let me know. We'll all help you out here.

I can personally say that the only effect Maddy's death had on me was one of regret...

Should have claimed her first.

By the way Clara, I couldn't help but notice your choice of username. Are you a lazy eye sufferer? I once knew a girl who suffered from the same ailment - Bree, I think her name was. She hasn't been around here for a while though, I heard she hooked up with some unsavory characters.

Please proceed with caution. It is not worth risking your life for a school project.

With that said, I am 110 percent at your disposal, as I'm sure we all are. I won't lose anyone else over this.

I was just gonna invite Clara into chat but I see she beat me to it.

JenniPowell · Post by **JenniPowell** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 9:41 pm

Is the chat still the same? Man, I've been out of the loop as of late. Going to remedy that now that we have someone we may need to help out.

This explains how a murderer was hunted down, tried, and convicted within the short span of only two months.

I assume he pleaded guilty. He probably feels safer behind bars than he would on the outside.

I'm curious about this myself. Were the bodies recovered or did they only have video evidence and a confession? hmm...

Hello, Clara is it?

I personally followed the videos that Maddison made in kind of 'seen but not heard' approach. I wish I could have helped her, esspecially when I saw that last video. Unfortunatly, as i'm sure you saw, there was alot of code-breaking and I wasn't (still not) so good at that. Her murder still shocked me nonetheless, and i'm very glad that her killer is facing justice. Although, Maddison seemed so nice, i'm not sure anything that murderer faces will truely be 'justice'. I know some here who would take matters into thier own hands gladly.

I hope you find the information you're looking for, and maybe along the way you'll shed some light for us on alot of the mystery that still surrounds Maddison's 'story' (for lack of a better term).

Welcome Clara!

I look forward to your upcoming videos. If you haven't already, I would also suggest possibly interviewing Adam's (ex-)girlfriend Emily, as she was mentioned in the videos and was probably around for the last few weeks that Adam and Maddison were alive. Perhaps she could provide a unique perspective on the events that occurred last April.

Life is all about moving on I suppose, and I hope to help out when I can despite my hectic schedule. Good luck to you!

Hello amblyopianne/Clara Anne Stokes - I am quite interested in your findings, so thank you for choosing to share them with us. I am sure this community will reciprocate with research assistance, but we can not keep you safe, should danger arise. So take care.

Good catch...

For example:
"Amblyopia is reduced vision in an eye that has not received adequate use during early childhood."

per http://www.preventblindness.org/childre ... iaFAQ.html

So "amblyopianne" = Amblyopia + Anne (Clara's middle name).

I wonder if "amblyopianne" is also an anagram. For instance:

by an imp alone
aim a pen nobly
limn a bane opy
bale man in opy
blame any in op
email bonny pa
no lamb on any pie

Welcome, Clara! I'm here to help.

OOC: LG15today.blogspot notes that this could be the re-start of MA. While she does seem to know a lot that we don't, Clara's advisor (William Arscott) is a real professor in art (cinematograhy) at SF Austin State. I'm excited either way!
