An update to the Vermont thing

Here I was just surfing around Yahoo when I came across this item:

Yes...it's the Vermont thing again. Apparently the girl's stepfather was renting a room in San Antonio from a man and his family. They had been friends for about 4 years. Shortly before going back to Vermont, the stepfather asked this guy to help him dump a safe. The guy trusting his friend said sure he would help. So they dumped it.

Since then he's discovered that the safe probably held a lot of child pornography. He learned this after several FBI interviews that he's had since they discovered where the stepfather lived.

What is scary to think about is that there is a 17 year-old in the house. No mention as to whether Gagnon (the stepfather) ever bothered her as yet. His friend thus far has not been charged with any crime and it sounds like he shouldn't be based on the story. I think he is just as flabbergasted about what has happened as anyone else.

His first clue should have been when Jacques (the alleged murderer/pedophile) came to visit Gagnon and they all had lunch. Gagnon told his friend that the guy had a criminal record and that he was his brother-in-law. His friend wondered why he even hung around with a guy like that.

However, as we are all likely to do, that one little red flag didn't raise much commotion in terms of taking any sort of action. I hope we won't be hearing about anything that might have happened to that 17 yr. old in San Antonio. But with characters like this, who knows.
