I haven't seen anything. I set a Google alert to monitor for further updates. Not long after she was found, she and her parents had an hour-long interview with the sheriff. Since that press conference and then follow up speculation/discussion I haven't seen anything newer pop up on the web.

Hopefully that is a sign that all is well.

I still expect eventually more information will surface elaborating on events and timeline.

Maybe they took the money and went silent. Seems they took some good advice there, instead of digging a deeper hole every time they opened their mouths.

I have often yelled at clouds on a tour, and have yet to get an answer.

The Sheriff provides an update on the following podcast: https://www.kmjnow.com/2025/06/09/sh...s-conjured-up/

Update: I've now listened to this. General summary is that sheriff doesn't have evidence but is skeptical and believes that the story has been embellished.

I’ve looked at clouds from both sides.

Now.

Huh?

And here's the analogy to clouds ...

Rows and floes of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

Joni Mitchell

Ahh, got it :thumb:

This is a weird thing for a sheriff to say in public into an Internet mad for conspiracies. As plenty well evidenced by the LATimes article below which is almost entirely sourced from a thread on the website that has read it

I like the Judy Collins version more.

I do too. Her version is more dramatic with the chimes, drums & orchestra. But Jama makes a valid point ... you've gotta have "from both sides NOW" to rhyme with "and still someHOW" :D

Or, from the inside out?

The facts in the story are still the same regardless. She and her family have the opportunity to explain the oddities at any time, but remaining quiet and keeping the money is a good decision, IMO, since they really can't do so without making things worse.

How many here remember Balloon Boy? I remember at the time instantly thinking the story was BS on seeing the live video of the balloon, which was far too small to carry a child aloft. But far too many people get their physics knowledge from cartoons instead of the science class they slept through.

Next you'll tell me "Up!" didn't really happen.

Squirrel!
