Way to go ladies! Excellent intuition and police work!

Finally! I’ve been waiting all day to get your names/faces! WELL DONE, kudos, and congratulations for being smart, strong, intuitive women with awesome instincts and great action-taking professional measures. I wrote an e-mail to your supervisors earlier today to that effect. You women ROCK. Thank you for protecting our children and your community, Ally and Lisa.

Sincerely and with gratitude,

These two women are heroes!!

Thank you for acting on your keen observational skills, ladies. Your smarts saved lives.

Thank you both.

GREAT WORK!!!

OUTSTANDING WORK!!!

You’re my heroes. Good police work ladies!

Thank you!

You ladies are absolutely amazing. You took the time to really investigate and address your suspicions. Many others would have just moved on and looked the other way. I wish all persons in positon of authority would be as detailed as the two of you. Your efforts are even more notable when you consider the other opportunities that authorities had to catch these people. Good Luck

Very perceptive police officers and they didn’t even have to knock on a sex offender’s door. Go figure.

Congratulations Lisa and Ally for trusting your gut instincts and professional training. The question that haunts me however is how could have gotten away with this for 11 years? He had a parole officer! Who are we hiring for the most important work in our society? How are we protecting our children? Perhaps this new generation of police professionals will be the answer. Lisa Campell and Ally Jacobs have raised the bar for all police professionals and those who work to protect our children. Thank you!

Congratulation to two smart and quick thinking women. Am I not surprised that it took two women using their intuitive feelings to notice that that something was not right with this man and the two children?
A male parole officer missed the boat, and I wonder if male board of corrections in Nevada decided that a fifty year sentence should be reduced to ten, and thus, a deranged unfixed animal was given a free pass out of jail.

We have been following the story from across the ocean, and have been waiting to hear who those university police officers are, whose quick thinking saved the day. Well done ladies, there are no words to describe how proud we are of you.
On behald of parents worldwide!!!!

A very sad human tragedy which Ally and Lisa brought to an end by doing what we all like to think our police men and women all would do. The story points out that all too often, police men and women don’t what Ally and Lisa did and too many human tragedies end in the worst possible way. Congratulations to you both.

Ally Jacobs and Lisa Campbell certainly deserve an award, a raise and a promotion. But it shows you should never let down your guard. From New York City

Very Well Done ! !
Where can I send your gift certificate for a nice dinner on me ?
It appears we have many holes in our Police and Parole Depts.

Perception: the ability to see. Something LOOK wrong ? Investigate.

That the two of you, in a short time saw, what many others overlooked, and cared not to see, is a great credit to you both.
Again, Well Done.

God bless you two. Women’s intuition rocks. Words could never express the depth of the service you performed. Thank you from all of humanity.

The two of you truly are heroes! To think about what those three girls went through, not to mention the parents missing their beloved daughter all these years, is absolutely tragic. You acted on your instincts and DID something with amazing results. There are no words to thank you enough. God bless you both.

Congratualations with this result of your excellent work!

These women are what all police officers should be: observant, taking notice of who they are interviewing, and checking up on all leads, whether big or small. I wish that the other police officers and probation officers that had the same chances over the last 18 years had at least 70% of these ladies “women’s intuition.”

Thank you, thank you for your astute observations and follow through.

Congratulations ladies! Thank you for being so observant, listening to your instincts, and following through to rescue so many people from this tragic situation. I felt so bad hearing the step-father say that he had been the prime suspect for 18 years. I hope this family can find happiness and peace, thanks to your efforts. You are an honor to the police force! God bless you!

You guys are great. However, as a criminal defense lawyer I must say please keep your opinions a out these predators mental condition to yourselves. Telling the wold that you think they are “not right” etc gives guys like me the tools to make our job easier. Criminal defense layers will use that to challenge compentancy and sanity to keep themfrom a justly deserved guilty verdict. I hope these defendants rot away the rest of their lives. They don’t deserve to walk among us again. So please keep the public comments to zero.

Just fabulous ladies. By truly looking at what you were seeing and following your instincts you have given a valuable lesson not just to other police officers, but to all people about taking some kind of action when you think something is wrong – even if you cant put your finger right on it.

Totally awesome.

Excellent work Ally. Very observant, putting 2 and 2 together, and follow through.

Congratualations with this result of your excellent work!

Best reagards!

OMG – Mom’s are the best. They have the best intuition and our flags go up when we see anything supicious. You are both totally awesome and I hope the University gives you time off ‘with pay’ and honours you with a trip for both you and your family. Sending lots of love from Canada

Thank you for following through with your suspicions and intuition. I wish more people would be like the two of you. Imagine what would have been if things stayed the same. You two are hereos and deserve honor and recognition. I am so proud of you two ladies. You are amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Impressive work. You’ve both made your force and our community proud!

These two officers are true role models to all our young girls (and boys) out there… they should be the ones sitting down for lunch with the President and First Lady!

Great work! I agree with Erik the Kiwi(post #30), you are both role models for many. Thank you.

Excellent work!! Fantastic!!

We all owe you a deep debt of gratitude for the amazing work you did here. You both took time to CARE and follow the trail. Your suspicions were right on the money. You are more than just astute professionals. You are truly HEROES. Well done. You restore a bit of faith in humanity that gets taken away every time we are exposed to terrible crimes such as these.

Thank you ladies! You both ARE HEROES. Congratulations and thanks for keeping us “girls” safe… clearly men aren’t as capable.

Male cops would not as likely have noticed these things…. Great work officers!

I’m amazed and like the outpouring of love for these officers.

At the same time, I don’t want to speak for them but my sense from some of what they’ve said is that it wasn’t some magical super-power, extra-special, or over-and-above-the-call-of-duty stuff they did. In other words, afford them some humility. Remember they have to live with their fellow officers for many years to come.

They’re both pretty young looking with long careers in front of them. It’d be a trap to single them out too much or define them in terms of this (obviously quite good) work. It’s definitely a trap to chalk the whole thing up to “women’s intuition” which is a kind of anti-feminist counterpoint to what they actually did. (What they did that is so feminist is take the young girls seriously rather than presuming legitimate custodianship – but men can do that too, just as easily – and women can screw that up just as easily.)

thank you for all the wonderful traits that you used in your two bodies to help another. your love for human rights and life already showed in the type of work you do. may all the angels in heaven blow their horns for you two fine people. i know God will shine his light on ya’ll even more so than he already has. i believe we all have a purpose on this earth and i am so graitful that ya’lls was to bring peace back into this world of 3 innocent little girls and their families. i love you and your families and will pray for ya’ll too. thanks for all you have done and will continue to do.

Officers – most people don’t set out to be heroes but circumstances come their way and they step up to the plate as needed. I am sure the day you became involved in this tragedy was a day like any other but YOU both cared enough to get involved and follow up on a situation that left unsettled you. Others may have had the chance before to help, but you two got involved. Your smarts and professionalism as law enforcement and your human concern for others came together and helped to save the lives of those little girls and their poor mother from a terrible fate and future. You are an inspiration to all of us. God bless you and your families and just keep up the fantastic work!!

If there is a place to send a thank you gift then please give it. We get so used to folks not really acting on instincts to follow through and here comes someone who gets an instinct, does the necessary spade work before reacting and does what was needed.

You are both heroes. May you be blessed forever!

Good work ladies,Hey Lisa we miss you here at LAPD backgrounds. Your my Hero both of you.

Love You Denise

Wow! You guys did a wonderful job. We need more people like you two around that follow up on their gut feelings. Lisa, everyone here at LAPD backgrounds is so proud of you and Ally. Hats off to you both!

Your actions mean so much to me, as one person among millions across the world reading the news about this nightmare. You both truly are heroes, you did what no one else did for 18 long years. Thank you.

There is nothing more powerful than a gut feeling, thank you for honoring yours. Ally J., you are my hero.

Sincerely,
A Victim Advocate

Kudos Ladies, Great Job. You did a wonderful thing, I glad you followed your instincts and did not give up. We need more people to get involve as you two did. Thank you for saving those girls lives.

God Bless you both.
