England and Wales Child Rescue Alert (CRA), their version of United States Amber Alert

A new system called the Child Rescue Alert (CRA), based on the Amber Alert in the United States, will begin in England and Wales. Its purpose is to make it easier and quicker for police to find missing children. The program is designed to contact the media at the earliest stage of a suspected child abduction.

Text messages will also be sent out to members of the public.

Senior officers say the public can act as the “eyes and ears of the police” to help finding missing children.

CRA’s will be sent out if the missing person is under 18 and if there is “a reasonable belief” they have been kidnapped, abducted or are in “imminent danger of serious harm or death”.

“The CRA will be a valuable resource to the police to enable them to carry out their investigations swiftly and effectively to better safeguard the lives of children.”

There can never be enough safe guards and programs for the protection of children.

There was no plea entered, bail decision delayed and no motive was provided for the killing. There will be a preliminary hearing on Thursday to determine these outcomes.

General Sessions Court Judge Bob Gray delayed a decision on bail until a preliminary hearing, set for Thursday.

Police said Friday she confessed to shooting her husband twice in the back. Her defense attorney said he is looking into reports of a confession to determine whether it actually happened and if so, whether that confession was legal.

Authorities have said Mary Winkler confessed to killing her husband on Wednesday and then leaving town with their three young daughters, though officials haven’t suggested a motive for the attack. The minister was found dead that night in the church parsonage.

Friend Says Mrs. Winkler Is Apologetic According to reports, Mary Winkler has confessed to the crime of killing her husband Matthew Winkler and has also apologized and “the friend says that Winkler is sorry for everything that has happened.” Of course an apology and confession does not stop one from “lawyering” up and coming out with a much different account.

Mary Winkler now has a Memphis lawyer, who describes his client as tired, and confused.

(CNN) — The search for two Milwaukee, Wisconsin, boys reported missing last week has become a criminal investigation, police said Sunday.

“Canvassing by the task force as well as leads and tips have led us to that conclusion,” police spokeswoman Anne Schwartz told reporters.

Schwartz said there was no evidence a crime had been committed, but investigators have determined “an increased possibility” that one took place. She said investigators have not ruled out “any scenarios or possibilities.”

The reward offers for their safe return have grown to $35,000. Also, a website has been set up with information and a poster of the boys that can be downloaded. The site is http: //www.henningparker.com/.

Civil Law Suit Against Steven Avery Moved to Manitowoc County

Calumet County Circuit Judge Donald Poppy has ruled that the civil case brought forth by the Halbach family against Steven Avery wrongful death lawsuit must be moved to Manitowoc County. Since Steven Avery is of Manitowoc County the trial must take place there.

A Calumet County judge ruled Thursday that a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Teresa Halbach’s family against Steven Avery must be heard in Manitowoc County because that is Avery’s home county.

Halbach lived in Calumet County but was killed at Avery’s home in Manitowoc County, authorities say.

Madison attorney Dean Strang, who is representing Avery in the wrongful death lawsuit and defending him against homicide charges in Halbach’s death, had filed several motions in the lawsuit.

The Halbach family has also asked that the assets of Steven Avery be frozen. They look to seize future earnings of Steven Avery as well as his recent monies he was rewarded for his wrongful conviction, a suit later settled for $400,000.

Attorneys for the family of a photographer murdered last Halloween have asked a judge to freeze some financial assets of the man accused of killing her.

Lawyers for Teresa Halbach’s family also plan to file a motion asking that any future earnings of defendant Steven Avery be frozen until a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family is settled.
