Madeline Morris has been searching for her missing son for nearly five years. Montgomery County Police say John Morris, 37, went missing from Dickerson, Maryland on July 30, 2007. He was last seen near his home at the 2400 block of White’s Ferry Road standing at the end of the driveway. At the time, John shared his residence with his boyfriend, and police say his vehicle and belongings were left behind when he went missing. In a press release, Montgomery County Police say, “extensive investigative techniques have been used during this multi-year investigation to try to gain information about what may have happened to Morris. No evidence has been developed to confirm whether or not Morris remains alive. The family believes that he would not have stayed away this long without making contact with his family. His family also believes that he would not intentionally have left and abandoned his dog. At this stage of the investigation, foul play is suspected.”

“You are guilty of a heinous crime,” said Charlene Spierer – NEW LETTER RELEASED TO LAUREN’S ALLEGED ABUDCTOR
Over the Labor Day weekend, Lauren’s mother, Charlene Spierer, released another letter. This one was directed to Lauren’s abductor. The letter is very personal and describes the heart ache and moments leading up to the point when she discovered her daughter was missing. “I count the hours, minutes, seconds until my father can drive me to the airport to make the trip to Bloomington, Indiana. Imagine a grandfather, driving his daughter to the airport, on her way to discover what has happened to his granddaughter. Imagine that. There were few words exchanged. There are no words,” said Charlene.
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation re-launched a search this week to find missing Harris Middle School teacher Shelley Mook. Authorities targeted a rural area about 50 miles south of Nashville, in Chapel Hill. TBI investigators were on the ground all day Wednesday searching the land and water. They say the area is significant because it may be a place Shelley made contact with someone before she disappeared.
Shelley was last seen on February 28 when she dropped off her daughter at her ex-husbands house. The plan was for her to leave that location and head to her new apartment to meet a maintenance worker. Unfortunately, Shelley did not make it to her apartment, and a short time later her vehicle was found burned out in Bedford County. Investigators do consider her ex-husband a person of interest, but no one has been officially charged in this case.
If you have any information, please call the Bedford County Sheriff’s Department at 931-684-3232

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.”
A candlelight vigil is scheduled tonight for missing mom Susan Powell. Her family, friends, and anyone from the public is welcome to attend the vigil held at the Ridgecrest building in Puyallup, Washington at 7 p.m. Tomorrow marks the two week anniversary since Susan Powell went missing. I cannot help to take notice just how much this case reminds me of two mom’s who are still missing in Illinois, and both of their husbands are “persons of interest.” Lisa Stebic went missing on April 30, 2007 from Plainfield, Illinois. She worked in a local elementary school, and her husband was the last person to see her. Lisa’s family has done an amazing job at keeping her story and picture in the public. Her husband Craig Stebic is named a “person of interest” in her disappearance. Stacy Peterson was only 23-years-old went she went missing on October 28, 2007. Her husband, Drew Peterson, who was a police officer at the time, and claims he heard from his wife last the Sunday before she went missing around 9 p.m. Since that time, Drew Peterson has been named a “person of interest” in her disappearance as well. Drew Peterton’s third wife, Kathleen Savio, died in 2004. Soon after Stacy disappeared, Kathleen’s body was exhumed from the ground, and her initial death ruling was changed from “accidental” to “homicide.” Lisa and Stacy are still missing, just like Susan. Although Susan’s husband, Josh Powell, is considered a “person of interest” – I hope her case doesn’t grow cold like the other two mom’s. Please keep in mind, a “person of interest” can mean that a person could graduate to becoming a suspect, or ruled out completely as an investigation moves forward. I hope and pray all three families are giving answers to where their loved one may be.
