BREAKING UPDATE ABOUT SWEET MONKEY VAUGHAN:
🕑 Added 2022-11-13 20:02:19 +0000 UTCJohn and I have been covering the case of missing 5-year-old Michael “Monkey” Vaughan. He disappeared from his neighborhood in Fruitland, Idaho on July 27, 2021. We interviewed his mother several months ago.
I just got off the phone with Brandi Neal, Monkey’s mom. She tells me they are still digging in a backyard that is a 4 minute walk from her home. She doesn’t know the people who live there. LE just visited and told her not to go over there. “It’s difficult not to” she tells me.
Through tears she asks the public for prayers for Monkey, for her family, and for law enforcement who are in the “same headspace my husband and I are”. She tells me “We are not OK”
She doesn’t know of anything LE have found yet, but they have informed the family of a viable lead and a search for remains. When she says the word “remains” she starts crying … she says she doesn’t want to say that word. Not yet.
Pray, she asks, to give her family and LE strength. She repeats they are not OK.
She says LE should be addressing the media at 1 pm Mountain time. John and so are holding our breath. #BringMonkeyHome

Was there an update to this yet?

The accounts have to be reported & evidence sent to fb for them to confirm identity of a convicted offender, then they delete it.

I can't even imagine the pain.

Heart breaking. Both of the people who live at the address are on Megan’s law as registered sex offenders. Cody & Dorothy Starkey. They are both on FB. I thought If you were a sex offender you can be on FB

I’m sorry I lied. I’m watching someone who is playing catch up with old pressers. I think there is a reporter from KTVB who will try and show it on Twitter. So sorry.

Where can we watch the press conference? I'm not finding it
