Bobby & Christi Baskin have been found!!!!!!

crystaldawn · 02-03-2009, 11:34 AM

I still can't believe this!!!! There is a place online (that I'd rather not say where) where occasionally Debbie posts. In her post dated today she states that Marvin Maples has been found and is in police custody!!!!! The police scanned a picture of Marvin to Mark & Debbie Baskins for him to identify. They did identify it as Marvin!!! In the wee hours of this morning they were also scanned pictures of Bobby and Christi!!! Debbie states that her children are beautiful. They then called later and said that Marvin Maples had been taken into custody!!!!

The man did admit to being Marvin Maples and he did suffer a stroke a few years ago but has recovered. They believe that Sandra Maples is dead. Christi is single and has a nursing degree. Bobby is married. Thats all the further info she had. She has no idea if her kids will want to see her or not.

What wonderful news!!!!!!!

Freaking awesome. Awesome to the max.

I wonder how big of a role that tip 8 years ago played.

Holy crap!!! Keep us updated as you find out other stuff!!!

Exciting News. As a longtime member of this forum I can easily say this is the #1 case that the majority of the members of this forum wanted to see solved. I just hope it has the happy ending we've all been wanting to see through the years. Either way I'm glad Debbie and Mark's search is over, at the very least they can rest easily now knowing their children are alive and apparently living healthy productive lives.

I do hope from our perspective that we someday get the full story on this very bizarre case as there are obviously some holes to fill. I assume that Marvin will be prosecuted and more will come out during those proceedings. Hopefully more information will come from the authorities in a few days.

Wow. I have to say that this is shocking and wonderful news. I'm delighted to hear that the kids are okay. I just hope that they haven't been so thoroughly brainwashed that they are unable to reconnect with their parents who have searched for them for so long.

It still bothers me that it seemed like the Maple family helped them hide all these years. I think they need a "come to Jesus" meeting.

The sad thing about this is that Sandra Maples will never have to answer for her actions because she died. Hopefully Marvin Maples will talk about why he did this and spend the rest of his life in jail. That's still not long enough for what he did to this family.

This thread will have to be Stickie'd!

atomicfizz · 02-03-2009, 03:26 PM

Wow! That is amazing!! I really hope we find out more details about what the kids knew, what they think, how they went to school (using a fake name or what) etc... I really really hope that they are open to seeing their parents.

yuppielawyer · 02-03-2009, 03:42 PM

I keep waiting for something about this to pop up on a news site somewhere just so I can verify it, but there hasn't been anything yet.

TracyLynnS · 02-03-2009, 04:49 PM

Thank God, the kids are alive and well!

I really hope they accept their parents and the reunion goes well. I can't wait to find out what the kids knew and when they found out that everyone was looking for them.
