Ricky Holland Vanished

This is about the saddest entry I have written about Ricky. I can’t believe he is still missing and that there do not seem to be any leads in his case.

Earlier this month there was an interview given to a local television station by Ricky’s biological mother. Apparently she was asked to take a lie detector test and she passed. She expressed her sorrow about her son’s missing status. She also expressed the love she still has for him even though she no longer has parental rights. I wish we heard more in the media from Ricky’s adoptive parents.

People talk about adopted children as being lucky because they are “chosen” by their parents and supposedly the love for the adopted child is “special”. I have not seen any evidence of this with Tim and Lisa Holland.

Ricky, if you are still alive then wherever you may be I hope you are safe, happy and warm. I hope you are not scared.

Merry Christmas, little guy.

“IMO -what an arrogant blog. Hope your kid never disappears! ONLY THREE SCENARIOS,huh? What about someone snatched him (just like Polly and Jessica)from his bedroom? Took him to McDonalds, and he fled!Did the candy wrapper have any DNA on it? If no, the manufacturer has explained the lot number could belong to
any number of boxes or bags. Do you really think the HOLLANDS are the only ones
who bought that stuff? It could easily be a red herring!The scent from the McDonalds and the possible sighting and the foot print seem to confirm that Ricky was walking and he appeared to be alone. He also, if this teen’s account is accurate (and I see no reason to suspect it is not) that Ricky was trying to avoid contact and was literally RUNNING AWAY!Ricky had some mental problems – why not homeschool him? Sounds like love to me. He was only 7 years old. Maybe the Hollands felt it would be in RIcky’s best interest to get the initial fundamentals from them. There is also the question if not homeschooled where would he have attended school? Some mentally disturbed kids end up in horribly dangerous or depressing places because parents just want to unload them ASAP and some school districts don’t have programs that can handle special needs kids. You really took a leap without doing any research. COnsidering you don’t live in the state, etc. as you disclosed in this blog, you really need to do more homework yourself before you create this type of blog!Tim having a sensitive military job tells me that he has already gone through a thorough background check and been CLEARED by the FBI or the military AND both Parents were investigated and cleared for the adoption of Ricky. Sure there have been cases of neglect or abuse in adoption cases but the only thread of suspicion in this case seems to be the constant effort by the police to build a case around the only “people of interest” they have and the Hollands effort to protect themselves (and their family) by hiring legal counsel. There are thousands of
cases where the parents do not do TV interviews! And apparently Tim’s instincts about the police was on target because there have been four search warrants. If I had a gut reaction and knew my job precluded me from behaving in a manner that the police (and apparently you) find out of the ordinary, then I would hire an attorney too. To be honest, we have a family attorney we turn to for various reasons. Could they have known this attorney because of the adoption and turned to him for help and guidance when Ricky disappeared? I would not begin to judge these people as you have done throughout your blog! It is disgusting to me!To keep this little guy before the public is one thing ACTUALLY something commendable! However, to malign and imply the parent(s) must be guilty of something is just really ARROGANT and EVIL, IN MY OPINION!”
