Lester Hobbs (suspect)
Two weeks have passed since Aja Johnson was abducted and her mother Tonya was found beaten to death inside an RV. Since then investigators in Oklahoma issued a warrant for Lester Hobbs arrest charging him with first degree murder and kidnapping. Hobbs is a convicted felon, and according to court documents was not supposed to have any contact with Aja. Police say they’ve received leads about possible sightings of Hobbs, the United States Marshals service sex offender unit is involved, but so far nothing has panned out. The Oklahoma Bureau of Investigations and the United States Marshal service put out a $20,000 reward, hoping someone will bring them the information they need to find this child. Funeral services for Tonya Hobbs are scheduled tomorrow for 11 a.m.
Last week I spoke with Alice Dunkin, Tonya Hobbs mother, and missing 7-year-old Aja Johnson’s grandmother. She told me she screamed bloody murder and “blew up” when she learned her daughter was killed. It is devastation to Alice especially because she said her son was shot and killed nearly three years ago, and now she has to go through this with her daughter. Along with losing both of her children, Alice fears what may happen to her granddaughter Aja,

Eddie Salazar MISSING
UPDATE: Sadly, 8-month-old Eddie Salazar was found in the Spring River, just east of Carthage earlier this afternoon. Police say Eddie Salazar Sr., the baby’s father, is charged with filing a false police report, and is now considered the prime suspect in his son’s murder. This case is very similar to the Aveion Lewis case in Roanoke, Virginia where investigators say Aveion’s step father filed a false police report that his step-son was abducted, and a few weeks later the toddler’s body was found in a landfill.
Police say Eddie Salazar was abducted late last night by two masked men. He is only 8-months-old, and has a lung-shaped birthmark on his right bicep. Investigators say two men broke into Eddie’s home, beat his father, and left with the child. It appears, at this point, the abduction was random. If you have any information, please call: (417) 237-7200
We will bring you more as this story develops…

Remembering Aveion Lewis
Investigators confirm the body they found at the Smith Gap Landfill in Roanoke, Virginia is in fact the body of 3-year-old Aveion Lewis. Police told me they tracked the trash collected along the 2100 block of King Charles Avenue, and that is what led them to the discovery. Thankfully, the trash company keeps very good records, and police were able to locate the truck in route to the landfill before it made a deposit. The truck emptied its contents in an isolated area at the landfill, and investigators sifted through the garbage. At this time, Roanoke police say they have not moved forward with homicide charges against Brandon Lockett, but that may change in the near future. He is scheduled to appear in court in March.
Investigators charged Aveion’s step-father, Brandon Lockett, with improper disposal of a human body, obstruction of justice, and felony child neglect after a false report was filed that Aveion was abducted. Police canceled an Amber Alert for the child after Lockett admitted Aveion was dead before the bogus abduction took place. Authorities say they were able to get this information and come to this conclusion after conflicting statements were given to authorities early on. Although police say Lockett admitted Aveion was dead before the Amber Alert was issued, investigators early on did not know exactly where the child’s body could be.

Dorice Donegan (booking photo)
Dorice “Dee Dee” Donegan Moore was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact regarding a first degree murder in the death of missing lottery winner Abraham Shakespeare. At this point, no one has been charged with Shakespeare’s murder, but investigators are combing through evidence and moving forward in this case. Investigators acted quickly on a lead that Abraham’s body could be buried on the adjacent property to the home where Moore lived, and last night Hillsborough County Sherriff David Gee held a press conference and read from the probable cause affidavit.

- Paola Michelle Suarez MISSING
The National Center for Missing and Exploited children needs your help locating Paola Michelle Suarez. She is only 13-year-old and it is believed she ran away on her own. Although runaway cases do not get a lot of attention in the media, I do feel these cases are extremely important. A 13-year-old is not able to make decisions in the world, and as we know, horrible things could happen to her.
Paola may have the name “PAO” marked on her arm, and she was last seen on January 7, 2010.
Race: Hispanic
Height: 5′1″
Weight: 138 pounds

Paula (left) Suspect sketch (right)
Investigators in North Miami Florida just released a sketch of a man they believe may be responsible for Paula Sladewski’s murder. Police say she was thrown in a dumpster, set on fire, and found on January 3, 2010. Cops say Paula’s body was “burned beyond recognition” and firefighters were called to put out the flames. Police are trying to figure out if this murder was committed out of anger… passion… or simply to destroy evidence.
Lt. Neal Cuevas with the North Miami Police department told me Paula’s boyfriend, Kevin Klym reported her missing at 10:40 p.m. on Sunday, January 3, 2010. Klym said he hadn’t seen his girlfriend since earlier that morning when he was kicked out of Club Space, a Miami nightclub open all night and all day. Lt. Cuevas says Klym told them Paula was too drunk, and he wanted to leave, an argument erupted – and he was kicked out. Investigators confirmed to me that they know for sure Klym left the club in a taxi, and went back to the LaFlora Hotel on Collins Avenue where he and Paula were staying. There is not video of Paula ever returning to the hotel. One of the workers at the hotel told me they do not have surveillance video running at all at the hotel.

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, people who have legitimate access to children are some of the same individuals who are producing child pornography. It is a federal crime to have child porn in your possession. The Cyber Tipline was created to report these types of crimes against children. You can call the tip center with information on people who manufacture, distribute or have child pornography in their possession. If you know of children who are being recruited for these disgusting acts, please report that to the tip line as well. It is also a federal crime to send obscene material to any child under the age of 16. Take a look at the helpful information under the Cyber Tipline to understand more about protecting the youth.
