Lost N Missing has demonstrated distrust of a police investigation in which they were supposed to be "partnering" and have abused family members of a missing person so appallingly that the family had to publicly request that LnM remove themselves from the case.
And no, I'm not part of an
"orchestrated" anything. I am an independent thinker who forms my own opinions based on the evidence available to me, and acts on those opinions regardless of what others are doing. If LnM is so paranoid as to believe that people have to be recruited to express their horror at the appalling actions of this organization, they are in deep denial.
On LnM's website, they claim that they partner with law enforcement. I find this interesting, when presently, both the president of this organization and the treasurer/board member are publically questioning the integrity of the police investigation into the murder of Jennifer Ramsaran. They must have found it a bit embarrassing when Jennifer's husband Ganesh -- the very man that LnM spent many hours defending publically as having an "airtight alibi" and having nothing to do with Jennifer's missing status has now been arrested for her murder. And...I find it interesting that LnM feels that it is part of their "mission" to defend the "innocence" of GR -- both before Jennifer's body was found, and even now after his arrest...how is that "partnering" with law enforcement?? Are they so arrogant as to believe that they know more than the fine men and women who have spent five months carefully investigating this crime? Do they really doubt the work of the medical examiner which led to GR's arrest?
Quite frankly, if Lost N Missing does not trust law enforcement, I would suggest it would be difficult for them to partner with law enforcement. I would doubt that law enforcement would welcome such partnership.
Secondly, Lost N Missing gushes about the love and compassion and support they extend to the family of missing persons. In the case of Jennifer Ramsaran, they continue to "support" the man who has been indicted for her murder. But their "love and compassion" has fallen far short with regard to Jennifer's grieving mother and father, Jennifer's sister, and Jennifers cousins, aunt, and other extended family. To these members of Jennifer's family -- they have been crass and insensitive. From inappropriate pm's to Jennifer's mother, to deleting comments made by Jennifer's family on Facebook (comments as innocuous as "my sister would never leave on her own"), to threatening to sue the family if negative reviews here on Great Non-profits were not removed (isn't that blackmail??), Cynthia Caron even stated in a public blog that she felt no pity for Jennifer's family.
Even after Jennifer's mother and sister have publically and politely requested that Lost N Missing remove themselves from Jennifer's case, LNM persists in harrassing the family by posting diatribes on both the Jennifer Ramsaran Missing FB site as well as the Justice for Jennifer site. Currently, L&M has 4 staff members administrating that site, so they are still inserting themselves into Jennifer's case, and in so doing are continuing to create drama and prevent the family from moving on into healing and closure.
Interestingly, LnM feel they have the right to even invade the Justice for Jennifer site to post tirades against the efforts of this group, but find any (well-warranted) criticism of their own actions to be "cyber-harrassment."
Lost N Missing has caused much additional grief and unwanted drama to a family in the most horrific of situations. In my opinion, they ought not to have the opportunity to inflict this sort of pain on any other individuals.
ETA: Examples of distrust of the police investigation
1) Posted by Cynthia Caron, on 5/25 on Jennifer Ramsaran Missing Facebook site: " I'm also not fond of the fact that his arrest and charges brought forth is on circumstantial evidence. Any charges brought forth I would have hoped and wanted to be solid proof.”
(So...CC states it is "fact" that the arrest was only on circumstantial evidence? She believes that Chenango County LE have no "solid proof?" Hmmm....Sheriff Cutting stated that the arrest was based on the results of the Medical Examiner's autopsy; not sure how CC construes that to be "circumstantial evidence" and no "solid proof")
2) In an interview with News Channel 9, "Caron said she has a lot of questions about the investigation that led to Remy’s arrest." In FB comments, she has echoed this sentiment, hinting that she had "information" that doesn't "fit" with what the police are saying.
3) Police and the DA have stated that the investigative work of computer experts have revealed that GR's alibi of being home working on the computer is false. Cynthia Caron takes direct issue with the IT experts who investigated the case. She posted on 5/25 on the JRM facebook site: "he is an IT person. An IT person is not going to be so stupid as to say they were on a computer working as an alibi if they were not. "
4) Cynthia Caron, on 6/15, posted this on the Jennifer Ramsaran Missing FB page : “He wants nothing more than to find the killer(s) of Jennifer and to prove he is innocent. He put a lot of faith in the Chenango Sheriff to find the killer and now realizes that he should not have put so much faith in the system and should have hired his own top notch PI's once Jennifer's body was found.”
5) Cynthia Caron posted: “In Jen's case there was never any domestic issues in the home, no violence” (JRM 5/25)
Is this woman truly so arrogant as to state with total confidence that a woman she NEVER MET was NEVER the victim of abuse or violence from her husband??? Surely this is something to be proven (or not) at trial based on the testimony of those who KNEW Jennifer -- her family, employer, true friends, pastor, etc.
6) Karen Krapps -- a board member and treasurer of LnM posted numerous long diatribes -- about 7 or 8, maybe more, all in a row, on the Justice for Jennifer FB site (and this is what I mean by invading the site -- polite people make a short statement on FB, and go about their business, and maybe return a day or so later to clarify or respond or whatever. They don't attempt to take over the site. ) The gist of KK's statements was that "adultery doesn't equal murder" (well, sorry KK, but there's a heck of a whole lot more evidence than the fact that GR commited adultery), and she tells us that we should not even consider GR's adultery as being a potential motive for his wife's murder, and "I do not believe for one minute that for the petty amount of money he would have lost in a divorce, he would have risked going to prison for the rest of his life just to keep from losing it." She implies false arrest -- mentions that there have been other cases of people who have been arrested for murder but then found innocent by forensic evidence (newsflash KK -- the arrest was BASED on forensic evidence from the autopsy). KK has made it clear that she believes GR is being "railroaded and not treated fairly or justly" by law enforcement.
7) Cynthia Caron mirrors the sentiments of Karen K with her insinuations of false arrest: "I can only say that I've already seen and known of those charged with murder that were found innocent and later the real killer(s) arrested. .. There is so much that just doesn't fit....contrary to rumors and gossip. " (posted on JRM Facebook, 5/24)
LostNMissing puts great faith and respect for law enforcement and that includes the Jennifer Ramsaran case. We believe they did a wonderful job and I'm not sure why you may believe otherwise? In response to "leaving the case" ....our work for Jennifer's case ended once her funeral arrangements were made. There is no more involvement from LNM on her case...she is no longer missing:( Some of the other things you wrote are your opinions and I respect that, albeit it is the same comments repeated over and again that we've already responded to in that we've always treated Jennifer's family fairly and there was absolutely no harassment ever done. As for one of my Board of Directors "invading the J4J site" I believe that is rather harsh considering it is a public group on Facebook and she has a Facebook account. Whenever a group does not want the public to join in on opinions they convert their groups to private. Perhaps that may be the answer to your obvious concerns and dilemma. Our support to families of missing is clear and apparent by any posts within this site. Every single family has graded us with a 5 star rating...that speaks for itself. The only negatives in this entire site are those that post that have no real knowledge of our work as we did not work for a single person thus far that has posted a negative. That also speaks for itself. Have a good weekend. Thank you.
Regarding #1. Yes. I don't like cases that are based on circumstantial evidence. I had hoped that once an arrest made it would have contained solid evidence. This is my opinions…about cases….not about the Chenango Sheriff Dept. The DA and media reported "circumstantial evidence", not me. Regarding #2 Yes. We have our own knowledge of case specifics that the public is not aware and those are what I question. It will be brought forth in the trial and you too will understand further this comment. Regarding #3 Just my opinion. Aren't I entitled to one? Don't you also wonder, if true, how or why a person with IT experience would be so dumb as to have an alibi of being on a computer if he wasn't? So yes I question that. I also question if his alibi was not true, why did they not bring him back in for further interoggations as to where was Jennifer when she was still missing? My opinion is I believe the alibi is going to be the number one focus on the trial and not the affair. But that is my opinion. Regarding #4 Those are his feelings, not mine. Regarding #5 The Sheriff Department spoke publicly of the very same during the time of Jennifer's missing status. There was no record of any domestic issues in the home. Regarding #6 So you have a problem with the way someone writes longer posts and even go so far as to say how often they should post, when they come back to post too…considering it is a public site? What is all the "control" that you feel is justified to halt anyone with an opinion that differs from yours? Regarding #7 You didn't post the entire comment…thus taking it out of context. I don't know if he was arrested "falsely" or if he committed this horrible crime…I'm admitting it…..I don't know…but that doesn't take away my opinion that, with what info presented thus far, I don't support the fact that he did it. Don't assume you know what I am thinking by placing it as insinuations. Take the full context of all I've posted….I have no idea if Remy Ramsaran is guilty or not. I won't know until trial….just as nobody else knows for a fact either. He was arrested and charged….not found guilty. What I do know is if he is in fact guilty I will be very surprised as so much "doesn't fit" and that is my opinion and due to my personal involvement in the case details and with him as a person that I've come to know.
