There are 1,800 articles about the missing boys found in Kirkwood, Missouri. All three cable news networks are giving the story Runaway Bride-type coverage. I've tried avoiding it, but it's almost impossible. Here's the latest.

It makes no sense, particularly the story about Shawn Hornbeck, the now-15 year old. I'm tired of the experts' pat explanations: Stockholm syndrome, fear his family members would be killed, etc. The interview with the cops who found the pick-up truck was non-informational.

The man arrested, Michael Devlin, held the same job at the same pizza joint in Kirkwood, Mo., (population 25,000) where he lived and near where he grew up and where numerous family members still reside, for 25 years. The pizza owner says he was shocked to learn he had a kid. Did Devlin's family not know he had a kid? He never married. What about Christmas and holidays -- did Devlin just go alone? Did his brothers never visit his apartment and see signs of a kid living there? Or, did he introduce the family to the kid, passing the kid off as his own with an improbable story?

In the neighborhood, parents and kids say the kid was just like every other kid, had sleepovers, was allowed to go out to play,etc.
