Where do I start? Just about everything! The more more I learned, the more holes I saw through her story. The usual list of alleged 'differences' comes to mind, many of the quotes, statements passed off as fact that were really either only speculation, exaggeration, or from sources with very...

No, no, no. I mean a few words as in a few words, such as counting to 10 and literally a few words. Other family members say they spoke none at all. AA clearly used German to communicate, meaning she was more than functional in the language and chose to use it over any other. As Bux said, she...

Chat himself gave me the date of March 9. March 12 was the day the Weimar gov't fell in a coup, causing turmoil in the city. As I said before, being reported missing weeks later is not uncommon and does not mean AA was not FS. (especiall since the DNA matched)

It wasn't 'the same trip.' Hers was in hiding not using the same roads. The people in your pictures could have come from different areas and not had to cross the same terrain. And don't forget the harsh early winter. You also ignore the civil war and political implications- Bux describes these...

This is an assumption that has not been proven. Yes, I do know perfectly well, I have noticed that to you and Chat, anything that harms AA's case is a 'lie' and anything that appears to help her is not only given the benefit of the doubt, but even stated as fact. His lying must be very...

I agree, I have seen this happen very often with AA supporters, but when I do background checks on what they claim, it rarely adds up to what was told for the truth. There is said to be, by one person on one message board. There is no proof, and until such proof is produced, this cannot be...

Technically, she knew a few German words, she did not know or speak German. Big difference. Sophie B. said (this is quoted in the La Fausse thread) AN 'only knew a few German words.' Even I know a 'few German words' but have no working knowledge of it. Again? Hasn't this been posted tons of...

And here I've been reading and looking up stuff on the Romanovs for 34 years and I've never seen that book and never seen or heard of that pic until now. It's very possible Gilliard never noticed it or paid any attention. This still does not mean he lied. Besides it's all pointless now to try...

Chat, you are only assuming he lied based on what you think. There is no evidence here! You keep dragging the 'she KNEW German' thing around the block, yet those who knew her, like Olga A., said she didn't know, didn't use, or only knew a very few words of it. This is technically NOT KNOWING...

Thank you so much, Menarue! It's so nice to see them say 'with certainty' it's the last two missing children and not have to worry about naysayers pointing out phrases like 'said to be' and using them to instill doubt. Now can it finally be over...

Romanov Family Association accepts remains Unlike the "House of Romanov" (Maria V.) the Romanov Family Association, which includes most of the rest of the Romanov descendants, has delcared they do not doubt the remains found last year, always believed they were the missing children, and...

His testimony as written in Auclere's book (posted) doesn't say when. You just never know when they might turn up! Look at this! Burnt Hendrix guitar to be sold in London - Yahoo! News Menarue, I am so sorry about your family photos, I know how that feels. I have an elderly aunt who threw away...

Because, sometimes they really don't. You take him at his word? But I thought he was a 'liar?' It always happens, if he says something you and Chat want to believe, he's telling the truth, if not, he's a liar. Even if he did burn them it doesn't necessarily mean he had anything to hide. He...

What year was that supposed to have happened? Was that the 1958 trial? The man was 79 years old, he may have been 'confused' or having a senior moment, it doesn't mean he lied. Isn't this also when he left, crashed his car on the way home and was an invalid the rest of his life?

Finding Anastasia: New National Geographic show on Romanovs and bones It airs a week from tonight, should be interesting! Here's some samples of the show in video, pictures and a synopsis. Explorer | Finding Anastasia | National Geographic Channel

Perhaps you haven't alleged incompetance or intentional tampering, but others of the same position have. In addition to that, the very position that AA might still be AN even after the DNA ruled out AA being AN in FOUR TESTS which all matched up, and the bones found last year were found to be...

I have never called anyone a 'liar' and have purposely avoided posting anything that can make me be accused of that, and I believe if all the posts are read this will bear out. However, if this includes even statements such as that I don't believe everything that's in Rathlef's book because she...

That sounds like a good response, thanks for writing him and sharing with us. It does seem the scientists were certain the sample was AA's, and far too much has been made of Gill's comment 'if you accept this is from AA' by those who want to hold onto hope. I really don't think the scientists...

Is there any way we can contact him, and ask him if his estimations have changed based on the Bayesian method? Dr. Melton was very accesible, as was Ginter, I don't think I've ever heard of anyone writing Gill himself. Really, anything in the high 90% range is more than impressive. As I've said...

That was their estimate at the time but since then, as more DNA patterns among Europeans have been discovered, and the use of the Bayesian method, it turns out FS's DNA was more unique than originally thought, so now the odds are at least 1/5000 and possibly as high as 1/100,000. Here is DaveK's...

Isn't it (at 100% exclusion) totally certain that AA was not AN, and virtually certain (at 99.9%) that she was FS? (since DNA proving who you are is never going to be 100%, only in cases of who you aren't) The likelihood she is anyone else other than FS is very, very small. (as posted in DaveK's...

Because they were so active in her claim, and he was a writer, and it all looks so perfect that he was at least partially behind it all. She stated that she had been in prison with Hendrikova and Schneider before they were shot, and they never said anything about any 'betrayal.'

She could probably tell from the pictures alone. It was because of her own experiences that Elena, who had made the trek out of Russia herself, knew AA's escape story was ridiculous and impossible. Here's a first hand account, she was there and talked to people who had been with the family, so...
