Margo Lynn Jordan is a mother and a grandmother. She was reported missing by her parents on April 24th and hasn’t been seen since. I spoke with Lt. Carl Minden from the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office. He says Margo was living with her boyfriend and his sister when she disappeared. She showed up for a work program at their jail on April 20th and was last seen by her family four days later. There is now a $10,000 reward put up by her family for information on her case. Lt. Minden says, “We’ve been looking at this for a month now, and the leads are starting to dry up. There’s not a whole lot left to go on right now and we are hoping to get more tips out of it.”
Shawn Isaacs, Margo’s boyfriend, is considered a possible person of interest in this case, but investigators say they are working and exploring other angles as well. “If you decided tomorrow that you don’t want to talk to anybody, there’s nothing I can do about it,” says Minden, but he feels there’s enough suspiciousness surrounding the case suggest something else may have happened to Margo.
It’s been 31 years, almost to the day, since Etan Patz vanished from his New York City neighborhood. Etan’s case put missing children on the map in the United States. It’s because of his abduction that the public started taking notice when a child wandered away or was taken.
Etan was actually the first child to appear on the side of a milk carton, and his case brought to light new legislation and awareness for missing children. This week Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance is making good on his promise to re-open the case and to take a look at it with a fresh set of eyes, even though the former DA claimed there was not enough evidence to prosecute the case.
I spoke with Erin Duggan, Communications Director from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office,this morning and asked her if it would be difficult to close this case. She said, “There are challenges, but it’s definitely been done before.” She says that they can move forward with prosecution, even without a body.
Police in Sacramento, California are reaching out to the public for help. Over the weekend, Tatiyanna Conrad, 13, went missing around 2 p.m. on Saturday. Her mother reported her missing to authorities late Saturday night. Police say they are concerned because Tatiyanna does not have a history of running away. Sometimes she is known to walk up to the Raley’s shopping center on Folsom Boulevard, but that is about as far as she travels from her apartment complex on Occidental Drive.
School began this morning, and Tatiyanna is nowhere to be found. She is on the taller side, about 5’7”, weighs about 130 pounds, and waslast seen wearing a black shirt with gold writing that says, “This is my shirt.”

Police in Austin, Texas say Karen Anastacio, 13, was abducted last week by a man she knew. Authorities say Angel Rojas, 25, was seen taking the teen in his brown 1997 GMC Jimmy from the Bedichek Middle School around 8 a.m. on May 6, 2010.
Investigators say Karen’s family was about to file criminal charges against Rojas for a previous attack onthe teen, but he was able to get to her first. Those assault charges were filed on Friday, and there is a warrant out forRojas’ arrest.
Over the weekend police announced that the Amber Alert had been canceled, and that they believe Rojas and Karen are already over the border into Mexico. Austin police are working with the Mexican authorities. Karen weighs 115 pounds, and she is 5’2”. She was last seen wearing a black shirt and pants and carrying a pink back pack. Rojas is only 135 pounds, and short at only 5’3”. Police say his license plate number is: 84TFL4.

A few days ago human remains were found off a beaten path in Idaho. The location where the body was recovered is a little less than four hours away from where missing mom Susan Powell was last seen. It’s been more than four months since Susan went missing from her home in Utah. Although the case has faded fast from the spotlight, it is still personally close to my heart and mind. I keep in touch with Capt. McLaughlin from the West Valley City Police Department, and he told me they are looking into the possibility that the remains could be Susan, but investigators in Idaho believe they could be the remains of a woman who went missing three years ago. Capt. McLaughlin says, “They aren’t 100% sure, until they get positive ID through dental records.” It could take a few weeks to make a positive ID.
Police in Xenia, Ohio are still searching for Tiffany Tehan who vanished over the weekend. Yesterday, investigators released surveillance video photos of a mystery man with Tiffany two weeks ago. That man has been identified as Tre B. Hutcherson, 42, who authorities say has also been missing for days.
Captain Scott Anger, of the Xenia Police, told me Tiffany’s family does not know who Tre B. Hutcherson is, and they have never met him. Police say Hutcherson is known to drive a red Volkswagen Beetle, and sometimes a German Shepherd will travel with him in the front seat.
Police say Tiffany was supposed to attend a cookout around 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 17, 2010 with her husband and friends. Tiffany’s husband, David Tehan, called police around 9 p.m. when she didn’t come home. Police say Tiffany left her home early Saturday morning to attend garage sales, and was expected to return around 2 p.m. Tiffany was last seen at The Greene Shopping Center in Beavercreek around 11 a.m., and her Ford Explorer was found early Sunday morning at a state park off Stroop Road in Xenia. The vehicle had a flat tire, and her keys were locked inside. Tiffany’s dad, Chuck Tabor, told me, “This is one giant jigsaw puzzle, and every piece, every little piece
Police in Xenia, Ohio are searching for a mom who went missing over the weekend. She was supposed to attend a cookout around 3:30 p.m. on Saturday with her husband, daughter and friends. Tiffany’s husband, David Tehan, called police around 9 p.m. when she didn’t come home. Police say Tiffany left her home early Saturday morning to attend garage and consignment sales, and at some point she got off course. She was last seen at The Greene Shopping Center in Beavercreek around 11 a.m. Police say Tiffany’s Ford Explorer was found early Sunday morning at a skate park off Stroop Road in Xenia. The vehicle had a flat tire, and her keys were locked inside. Tiffany’s dad, Chuck Tabor, told me, “This is one giant jigsaw puzzle, and every piece, every little piece counts, I think it is important to keep that going too.”
The award to find Kayleah Wilson is up to $20,000. Investigators haven’t given up hope, but there have not been any signs of the missing teen. Dave Joly with the Denver FBI told me two credible witnesses reported seeing Kayleah around 4:15 p.m. on March 28, 2010. That was the last time she was ever seen.
Since then, the FBI has scaled back their efforts and 52 volunteer searchers showed up over the weekend to comb the blocks Kayleah was last seen walking in. Unfortunately, the rain hindered their plans to continue searching.
Early on, Joly says agents did a search of Kayleah’s mother’s home.“We did a forensic search of the house, went into the home with the consent of the homeowner – we collected DNA samples we felt were Kayleah’s and collected DNA samples from everyone in the residence.” Kayleah was walking to a birthday party around 3:40 p.m. when she vanished. Although the walk was fairly short, only 10 blocks, she never made it. Kayleah was missing over Easter weekend, but investigators still gave their heart and soul and worked through the holiday and into the coming weeks.
Reports coming in at this hout that Sheneka Cole has been found… We will update you with the latest as we receive it from investigators.
Sheneka Cole vanished last night from a park in Chicago. Police say she was last seen in the 510 block of East 60th Street. She is only 6-years-old and was last seen wearing a lime green Rocawear shirt, and pink jeans. When I spoke to investigators this morning at the Special Victims Unit, they say the cameras in the sky of Chicago show her walking away from the park, but they do not know where exactly she went off to. Sheneka could be lost, and very lonely, and she needs to be reunited with her family. If you have any information, please contact: (312) 747-8274
