Tragedy in New Jersey

[cars]

Local News: Three little boys went missing for over two days in Camden New Jersey, after playing in a nearby yard. For two tortured days, searchers & Police combed alleyways, woods, abandoned houses and vacant lots. They looked everywhere, but not until Friday did one of the boys fathers finally look in the trunk of an abandoned car right next to the yard they were playing in. Unfortunetly, there they were, all three boys suffocated! What a tragedy!!! What could the Police, who were "trained" in these sort of circumstances have been thinking, not to look there first?? Again what a senseless tragedy.

I agree CARS a senseless tragedy time 3. :-5 :-5 I would of thought that would have been one of the first place they would look, that and old refrigrators, sheds .. Kids love to play in them.. :-1

I agree with Carla...just wondering what the searchers were thinking .....I read that police even searched that very car within hours of them being reported missing.... but failed to open the trunk! Not that this would be an excuse, but maybe it's possible the particular searchers that overlooked this didn't have any children of their own and therefore didn't realize this would be an excellent place to look?? I don't know.........................I am stumped...there just really isn't an excuse that is plausible.

Another case of 'cant see the forest for the trees'.

My husband agrees---thinks there is more to it....but I don't think so. What more could it be? Killing 3 children is a pretty big deal.
