THANK GOD!!! I've been regularly praying for Shawn for 4 years and I prayed hard for Ben this last week.
I'm glad that they have Devlin locked up. If I saw him, I would likely end up in prison myself for what I would do to him.
Here in St. Louis, for the last 4 years, you couldn't go to Walmart without seeing Shawn's picture. The news periodically puts his picture up. His picture is on Bi-State bus benches and benches outside of many grocery stores. I'm mad as heck that not one single person in that apartment complex paid enough attention to notice that Shawn was living right there.
I'm also mad that the FBI didn't check out the Dec 1, 2005 posts that Shawn put up. (Shawn is clearly dealing with

In the guestbook for ShawnHornbeck.com, the site maintained to keep the search for the boy alive, the following two posts were made on December 1, 2005:

Don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled that both boys are found but it frustrates me that Shawn should have been found earlier.
