Our work over the past thirty years is in an effort to find a system to identify distance and direction in cases of missing children so that search teams can laser focus their search efforts. I cannot find the Dougherty's home address in any news article on her murder, which is needed to include her case. I've read numerous comments here about folks being neighbors to the Dougherty family at the time of this crime against Amanda. Can someone please elaborate on this address? such as, the 200 block of Main Street for example. <br /><br />Also, the exact location of her remains recovery is also a very vague topic across the numerous news articles. The exact point of remains recovery would also help us to use Amanda's case and its particulars to support the search efforts in cases of children who remain missing today. If anyone can help provide this information it would be greatly appreciated. <br /><br />Regards,<br />Renee Francis<br />http://www.amatterofperception.orgThesestarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13531198310725320723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072125047008275922.post-62694156182708055652017-07-27T09:19:57.462-07:002017-07-27T09:19:57.462-07:00I'm checking in as a neighbor when Amanda went...I'm checking in as a neighbor when Amanda went "missing" in 1994.<br /><br />I saw an article about Adam Walsh this morning on the 36th anniversary of his abduction and this story came to mind. I always wondered what happened or what the outcome was as it was still unsolved last time I checked years ago. After searching Google, this blog was one of the few things that I could find.<br /><br />My family and I were neighbors to these people. My daughter was about the same age as Amanda and they used to play together. I know some of you are related to them, but in my personal opinion, both of them were total whack jobs. The dude let one his dogs get out one day and the damn thing charged me and my kid in the driveway of my home as I was leaving for work. Then he blames me for antagonizing the dog. The way he talked to me that day told me that the guy was a nutcase and I never let my kid go near them again.<br /><br />After Amanda went missing, I immediately suspected the father. I would constantly hear screaming and yelling from their house at all hours of the day and night when they weren't throwing all night, loud ass parties. Different cars coming and going all the time. Not what I would call an ideal home for young children. The guy always looked pissed off at the world and was not friendly at all. I never bought the "she wandered off in the middle of the night" story. I think that the moment they started searching for her, the parents already knew she was dead. <br /><br />How do I know this? Because not ONCE did investigators even approach me with questions. Not one single time and I lived directly across the street! No one asked me if I saw anything or heard anything. I could have seen everything that night and no one would have known. Why? Well either total ineptitude on the investigators part or because, and more realistically, they already knew the answer and just needed to find a way to prove it. <br /><br />Needless to say, my stint in North Lauderdale was short lived. With that clown running loose and the cops doing nothing, we were outta of there at the end of our lease. It didn't surprise me one single bit reading about him in the news again a few years later being violent.Neighbor1https://www.blogger.com/profile/16623586730222841767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072125047008275922.post-74536704057865294652016-03-16T09:27:49.982-07:002016-03-16T09:27:49.982-07:00Natalie,I have known david since 7th grade &gl...Natalie,I have known david since 7th grade &glen about the same amount of time.
