It is not the first time that CAS has lost a file here, especially in such "tight knit" communities. There are many times that CAS is called in and the police is never informed. Did you think that Gower would just walk into the local precinct and say "hey here I am I molested my daughter, arrest me!" Even if he had the local police all knew him, still do.
The point being, from what Vicki told me, the judge is working on her ruling and that could be a good sign, anything from deciding damages to putting it down in the correct format and manner so that her ruling is clear.
Knowing what I know, I pray that Vicki wins.
I'm pulling for ya Vicki,
