Never Give Up Hope

An amazing story out of Oakland County, Michigan, originally released by Sheriff Michael Bouchard and the Detroit News.

(Sheriff Bouchard, of course, is expected to be the Republican answer to Democratic US Senator Debbie Stabenow in November. The NRA love-fest never ceases. He receives top marks from the most famous gun organization in the US, even though he vehemently opposed concealed carry and several other firearms freedoms... but I digress...)

On Mother's Day weekend in 1976, Laura Gooder's estranged husband, Eric Douglas Nielsen, picked up 21-month-old Genevieve Rachel Nielsen for an overnight visit. They never returned.

This Mother's Day weekend, a police officer arrived Saturday at Gooder's home in Frederic, Mich., with news that her daughter - now 31 - had been found, The Detroit News reported.

Gooder's daughter had been raised under another name and grew up believing her mother had been killed in an auto accident. Law enforcement officials declined to release her other name...

Eric Nielsen was incarcerated in Arizona under a different identity on an unrelated charge, authorities said. A tip led investigators to visit an Arizona prison Thursday, said Michael Bouchard, sheriff in Michigan's Oakland County.

Gooder's daughter, who now has a child of her own, was traumatized by the revelations, Bouchard said...

Last year, U.S. marshals joined the search for Gooder's daughter, and a judge charged Eric Nielsen with kidnapping. He had been wanted on a state kidnapping warrant since 1976.

About 2 Valuable

Welcome

Welcome to 2 Valuable. My name is Jay, and as you may have guessed by the title, this blog is primarily about and in defense of the 2nd Amendment and the Bill of Rights. I am also a history geek, motorcyclist, writer, and interested in just about everything, so I will comment off-topic a lot.

About Me (Readers Digest Version)

I am a proud alumnus of the University of Michigan, even if it is a cesspool of rotten socialist thinking. It's my alma mater (that means "other mother" in Latin), so don't go makin' fun of Momma... especially if you are from Ohio State.

That reminds me: any favorable comments about Ohio State University or their Buckeye teams left on a post will be printed off on paper, burned, then immediately deleted from the computer system. However, members of the Buckeye Firearms Association (even OSU alumni) get a free pass - you guys do good work for the 2A.

All of my formal education took place in the publik skuul sistim, but in spite of that, I learned how to write and think.

I strongly believe in the self-defense rights re-affirmed by the Founding Fathers' in the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd Amendment doesn't grant us any right - it simply codifies a pre-existing God-given right (as do the other nine amendments in our Bill of Rights).

The Disclaimer Stuff:

I try very hard to give credit to all non-original material. There are rare cases where I do not know who to credit, and I apologize.

Any person mentioned in relation to a crime is not guilty until and unless they are found guilty in a court of law, regardless of what the court of public opinion decides.

My opinions are simply that: my opinions. They do not necessarily represent any other organization or person promoted on this blog. These opinions may not be popular with some, but they are protected by the First Amendment.
