1) There are so many similarities between the disappearance and water deaths of Dakota James and Riley Strain that I thought I'd post some info from Dakota's family after the discovery of their son in the Ohio River.
2) Pamela James, Dakota's mother, posted this on Facebook after the discovery of his body.
"Dakota was murdered!! Pittsburg you need to start opening your eyes!!

3) From an article about the disappearance of Dakota James:
"I would never believe that he would walk across to the river and down to pee and fall in. I just knew something had happened."
The "experts" analyzing the Strain case surmise he went to the river to pee.

4) "Once we learned that the case was closed, it was very disappointing. I don't feel that they ever wanted to look further into the possibility that there could be foul play. I knew 100 percent in my heart that someone did something to Dakota."
5) He comes out of the river and has ligature marks and you take him to the Medical Examiner's office and they wash off? Dried blood doesn't stay on you when you're in the water for 40 days," she said. "And why does he have pooling in the fingers?
6) Dakota's family had him cremated, so there is no way to conduct another investigation into his death.
"And now I regret all that," said Pam. "I trusted the system. And now I have to live with the regret of that."
