Remembering Azriel Carver
It’s been more than a week since Shantina Smiley and her 8-year-old son Azriel Carver went missing off a beach in Washington State. Sadly, Azriel’s body was found late last week, but there’s been no sign of Shantina. On Friday, I confirmed with the Medical Examiner’s office in Tacoma that Azriel’s death is officially ruled an accident and drowning is the cause of death. The area where the child’s body was found is west of Tacoma, Washington, and about 12 miles from where he and his mom’s mini-van was found on a private beach. Azriel’s father flew in from Lancaster to help look for his son last week, and was near the location when Azriel was found. Over the weekend, a memorial was held on Grand Island in memory of the child. Family and friends are working on a benefit to be held in memory of Azriel on April 18, 2010 at the Macaroons in Cheektowaga. Investigators are continuing to follow up with leads, and will continue searching as long as necessary to locate Shantina.

- Remembering Amber Dubois
Investigators confirm the skeletal remains found in a remote area of San Diego County are those of Amber Dubois. Amber went missing on February 13, 2009 as she was walking to her high school in Escondido, California. Investigators will not say if convicted sex offender, John Albert Gardner is responsible for her death, or if he has any connection to her case. Gardner is currently behind bars, and is charged with the murder and rape of 17-year-old Chelsea King. Chelsea went missing a little more than a week ago as she was jogging through a San Diego County park. Gardner is also charged with a December 2009 assault of a woman in the same area. As we learn more about the investigation… we will bring it to you.

Remembering Aveion Lewis
Investigators say they found the body of a small child today in a landfill in Roanoke, Virginia. I spoke with police earlier this afternoon and they told me early on in the investigation they tracked the trash collected along the 2100 block of King Charles Avenue. The trash company keeps very good records, and police were able to locate the trash truck in route to the landfill. The truck emptied its contents, and over the last few days, investigators combed through the garbage. Today, just after 12 p.m. the body of a small child, believed to be Aveion was located. The body was sent to the Roanoke Valley Medical Examiner’s office, and at this point, we are awaiting 100% confirmation. 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.

Paula & Kevin
Investigators are putting the pieces together and trying to figure out who would set Paula Sladewski on fire and then throw her body in a trash dumpster. 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 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 earlier today 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.

Sarah Foxwell missing
Rest peacefully Sarah
Very sad news to report this Christmas. Just a few hours ago missing 11-year-old, Sarah Foxwell’s body was found by searchers near the Maryland-Delaware line. Nearly 3,000 volunteers gave up their Christmas to search for the missing child throughout the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Investigators say Sarah went missing on Tuesday from her home, and authorities believe Thomas J. Leggs, Jr., 30, a convicted sex offender, is the one who kidnapped her. Leggs is charged with kidnapping and burglary, and more charges are likely to follow. It is believed that Leggs did know the child, and may have been a former boyfriend of Sarah’s aunt, who is her legal guardian. Police fear there are other children who are victims of Thomas Leggs, and they are working to identify those children now. If you have any information, please contact the Wicomico County Sheriff’s office: (410) 548-4891
