It is the standard practice, but it's a tough to do when the victim's name was previously released as a missing person, since they also want to let people know they can stop looking for her. It's really the only circumstance when you'll see the name(s) released.

"We don't speak."

Holy shit? What?

Kendra and Ricky were reportedly only given a two game suspension by the NFL.

Ugh. I'm hearing Deliverance-style banjo music in my head.

I don't think it was idiocy, per se. I think those two fuckwads thought Higgs would be interested in being a part of their little hell on Earth. I suspect the plan was to whore Lockwood out, as they were having financial troubles.

Yet no helmets. Maybe they're subtly encouraging vigilantes to aim for the head for better chances of a kill shot.

Justified inherent distrust of police not to muck it up?

Yeah, we definitely don't have a problem with rape culture in this country. Nope. None at all. Nothing to see here.

It looks like it. My understanding is that if there is a risk of some kind of "vigilante justice" they'll use things like bulletproof vests to protect criminals in order to ensure the due process of the trial.

Yeah, that's the biggest question I had also. The thing is, the details they reveal to the public/media at this phase are so restricted, we may not know for awhile. I had a whirlwind of guesses/assumptions (which really aren't fair to him at this point, honestly). My first guess, if he knew this guy (who would later…

The Huffington Post tells the story a little differently; for instance, it says that Higgs broke Lockwood out and then, after being confronted with the shotgun, he was able to headbutt House in order to escape. Also, this terrifying quote:

I don't like people anymore. Is there some way I can avoid all people forever?

When I saw the headline, I thought it was a replay of this story. Sadly, it was not. So does this mean that Indiana has a higher rate of people treating other people like slaves, or that they are better at arresting people who treat other people like slaves?

"That's right—while they kept a woman as a sex slave in their home, they invited company over."

What the fuck? These have to be the 2 dumbest kidnappers in recent history. Or were they that far gone that they assumed people wouldn't have a problem with them having a sex slave? What the fucking fuck. This story is the…

After helping Ricky House run some errands, he was shown the cage where Joelle Lockwood had been held captive. "She had a t-shirt on, and that was it," says Higgs.

So they had company over while they kept a woman caged in the spare room????? And they thought this would go unnoticed . . . how exactly?

There's a reason why these two sorry wastes of human skin couldn't have children - Darwin.

God damn, I don't think I could be that courageous, under that kind of pressure, including potential bodily harm to oneself and Lockwood. Even after his life being threatened once.

Bugs better break out the jigsaw, it'll be a lot more complicated than Florida.
