" This is one reason I think we should reinstate the death penalty in Illinois. "

" The van never showed up, but they weren't notified. Someone else came driving through and must have saw him and told him to get in and he figured they were there to pick him up so he did. I believe the police know who did it but don't have enough evidence to make sure he doesn't crawl through a loop hole and get off. They have the hammer that was use to kill this young man, so think about it, they would have to know who it belonged to. This "person" will slip up and then the noose will tighten and he'll be caught. I can tell you if they do know who it is, he or she is being watched. Small town, small problems, relentless cops. "

" I know people joke about saying "thoughts and prayers". But I truly mean it. A situation like Dalton's is absolutely, without a doubt, my worst nightmare. I cannot even begin to imagine what the family has had to go through. It just breaks my heart. God Bless your family and I certainly hope the killer is brought to justice. "

" Something else that has always struck me as strange. That's some coincidence that the day the van doesnt show, but someone else does and he gets taken. I'm sure he knew not to get into a car with a stranger, most kids do by age 7. But maybe he would have gone with the bus driver - even if he was in a different car. Was the driver ever looked at? Why wasnt he driving the van that night? Where was he that night and the next morning? Does he fish? The fact that someone took the boy to the fishing dock on the Vermillion requires a familiarity with the area, telling me it was a local, and perhaps someone that fishes that knew when there would be noone around that dock. My prayers to the family, I hope justice is served someday. "

" In most cases liek this, it is someone that knows the family, or lives close enough to know the family's habits. I certainly hope that people living on that street have considered that someone living close enough to see that front porch is most likely the killer. A Sledge hammer is not something a drifter or someone passing through town would just happen to have in his car or on his person. It belonged to someone close that had it in their garage and used it for something. I hope whoever did this gets what's coming to them in the most horrific manner possible. "

" “Life is filled with well-meaning people that say time heals all wounds..“I am here to tell you that time has gone by..I have no more idea now than I did then on how to heal it.” I agree 100% with this statement. I guess we can 'learn' to 'accept', but nothing heals these wounds. People use the word 'closure'. There is no such thing. People can't close their hearts when it's a death of a loved one and ignore it. Yes, people go on living, but the wounds are still there. I pray for this family and I hope with all my heart that this killer is found and dealt with accordingly. God Bless the family and friends of Dalton. I can't even begin to imagine how they feel or how much they are hurting.
