Kimberlee Ramsey, 15, and Cody Birdwell, 17, Missing in Galveston, TX
Kimberlee Ramsey, 15, and Cody Birdwell, 17, Missing in Galveston, TX have been missing
for 10 days. What makes this case even more intriguing is that a third teen also went missing, 15 year old Terressa Vanegas. Vanegas was found dead in a field last week. Apparently she was killed after leaving a Halloween party. Terressa Vabegas and Kimberlee Ramsey are best friends.
Texas EquuSearch has been volunteering in the efforts to search for the missing teens. Texas EquuSearch is assisting Terressa Vanegas’ family with funeral arrangements and support during this difficult time.
The search will continue with dogs and more Equusearch volunteers. There is no real evidence to suggest the teens are in the area that is being searched, but there is a lot of concern, given what happened there only last week.
Just a few yards from a football field, a search is underway for two teens who haven’t been seen by their families for 10 days. The search was occurring on the same day funeral services were being held for Terressa Vanegas, 15. Her body was found last week near the same field.
Vanegas had apparently been killed Halloween night after leaving a party. Vanegas and Kimberlee Ramsey, the missing girl, were best friends. Their friends are now frightened by the connection.
Ramsey, 15, has run away from home before. Last month she returned from a camp in Utah for problem adolescents. She disappeared from her Bacliff home two days before Vanegas went missing.
“We think she’s still around our area somewhere,” said Rodney Ramsey, Kimberlee’s father. (ABC – KTRK)
Description of Kimberlee Ramsey:
- 5 feet, 8 inches tall
- about 155 pounds
- green eyes
- brown hair with blond highlights
- She was last seen wearing jeans, a blue football jersey and black house shoes.

I would really love to find out what happened to this poor kid at Aspen Achievement Academy. These “boot camp”, residential “wilderness” academies have a history of being abusive. It is unbelievable that Dr. Phil even endorses this one.

I was first shocked but then out right ashamed of being a citizen in a country fighting along your country against terrorism, when you don’t perserve human rights for teenagers.
Children should be regarded as humans too, and the lack of supervision of what is going on at those wilderness courses, therapeutic boarding schools for your teenagers – placed in the states or not – had me realize that we perhaps don’t fight for democracy at all.
