Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
As summer turns into fall, the search to find missing college student Lauren Spierer continues. Investigators say Lauren Spierer was last seen at 4:30 a.m. in the Bloomington, Indiana on June 4. The last place Lauren was seen near the corner of 11th Street and College Avenue. Since then, hundreds of volunteers and law enforcement officials have donated their time to help find the missing student.
“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.

MISSING IN PORTLAND: Kyron Horman Vanishes, Sheriff To Update Case This Week
Monday, February 21st, 2011
- Kyron Horman Missing
More than 4,000 leads have poured in to help investigators with the search for Kyron Horman. This week, Multnomah County Sheriff Dan Staton said he will brief commissioners and the public on this case.
Kyron went missing from his Skyline elementary school on June 4, 2010 in Portland, Ore. while attending a science fair with his step-mother, Terri Horman. Authorities said they have identified all 490 persons and all 54 vehicles at the school that day, but they are no closer to solving this mystery. Since Kyron’s disappearance, dozens of searches and fundraisers have been held to raise money and awareness for the 7-year-old. No persons of interest or suspects have been named, but Terri Horman continues to be in the spotlight. Terri and Kyron’s father, Kane, are currently going through a divorce.
Desiree Young, Kyron’s mother, set out over the weekend to put pressure on Terri’s neighbors. She passed out fliers in Roseburg, Ore. about 200 miles away from where Kyron was last seen. Roseburg is also the new home and neighborhood of Terri Horman. Desiree wants Terri’s neighbors to know that she lives there and doesn’t want the public to forget about her son.
If you have any information on this investigation, please contact the Multnomah County Sheriff’s office.
KAYLEAH WILSON’S BODY FOUND?
Wednesday, May 19th, 2010
Kayleah Wilson (missing)
UPDATE: Reports are coming in that a body was found in a ditch earlier this morning about one mile away from where Kayleah went missing. We are waiting for a positive ID on the body from investigators. Stay tuned…
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.
DANGER STILL LURKING IN FAIRMOUNT PARK
Monday, April 19th, 2010I confirmed that investigators and Explorers from the Philadelphia Police department descended on Fairmount Park over the weekend to remind the public that a serial rapist and murderer is still out there. I spoke with Sgt. McEntee this morning and he says, “Every spring there’s a lot of events at the park, and we want to keep it in the forefront of the public’s mind to generate more tips.” More than 100 members of the Philadelphia Police department were distributing fliers at all the locations the suspect has hit since 2003. DNA evidence links the attacker to all the cases. The most recent attack was in August 2007. “This is somebody’s cousin, brother, uncle, we don’t think this is going to be your average guy that has a record, this is someone who flies under the radar,” says McEntee. Police and Explorer’s reminded joggers not to exercise alone, and to be aware of their surroundings.

McSTAY FAMILY MISSING: New Surveillance Video
Monday, March 29th, 2010
It’s been nearly two months since a family of four vanished in California. Family member Michael McStay told me today, “I am looking down every leg of this octopus.” Authorities say Joseph McStay, 40, his wife Summer, 43, Gianni, 4, and Joseph, 3, disappeared on February 4, 2010. Four days later, the family’s white Isuzu Trooper was found and towed from the Mexican border in San Ysidro. Michael McStay told me he has video from his brother’s neighbor of the evening they left their home. “The car was backed into the driveway, and it was making a left out (of the driveway), you cannot see who is in it, they pulled out at 7:47 p.m., and his last phone call was 8:48 p.m., they could have been running out for food, they could have been running somewhere to pick up something from Craigslist. There is a possibility that we are looking for a crime scene, we just don’t know where it’s at.”

Missing Utah Mom (update)

- Susan Powell Missing
I just spoke to Assistant Police Chief Black, and he says detectives are canvassing Susan’s neighborhood all day. They are on the ground searching for friends or neighbors who may have information to help them learn more about her disappearance. Assistant Chief Black says Josh Powell was in their office yesterday, with his attorney, and he did submit to a DNA sample. Josh answered a few general questions, but he would not answer questions about anything that could have happened Susan (i.e. any enemies she may have had, answers about their personal relationship, etc). Josh’s position to the media is that he wants to find his wife, and investigators working the case want to find her too, but Assistant Chief Black says without answers to many questions they have for Josh, and having a working partnership with him, “it really hinders finding her in a timely manner.”
