The sad but expected news has been confirmed. The body that searchers found earlier 
this week in a remote section of Arizona was that of missing and presumed murdered Jackie Hartman. Having spoke briefly in the past with Jackie’s dad, David Hartman, our hearts and prayer go out to the Hartman family.
Jacquelan “Jackie” Hartman, of Gilbert, was found dead Monday near Arizona 87, northwest of Saguaro Lake, by an all-terrain vehicle rider. Hartman was believed to be dead after police found her bullet-ridden clothes in a dumpster the day after she went missing in late January.
Hartman’s father, David Hartman, declined to comment Wednesday, saying he and his family were still processing the news. The family members spent much of the past three weeks searching around Gilbert and in remote areas along Arizona 87 after Hartman disappeared. (AZ Central)
An autopsy is scheduled for Friday. Jonathan Ian Burns has already been indicted on first-degree murder, kidnapping, sexual assault and weapons misconduct in connection with the case. Having now found Jackie’s body, there will be no reason why Burns does not pay for his crime. This is the evidence that was needed to solidify the police’s case against Burns.
Jackie Hartman … Rest in Peace.

When will these teenage girls ever learn? Conversations on the web are hardly ever what they are made out to be in real life. Such seems like the situation for 17 year old missing Amanda Mespelts of Boise, Idaho. Mespelts was last seen on February 15, 2007. It is feared that she ran off with someone that she met on the internet.

They say it began with a conversation the girl had with someone on the Internet.
There are more questions than answers as to Amanda’s whereabouts.
She was last seen around noon six days ago.

Amanda Mespelts apparently left early from school the day of Feb 15. with supposedly someone she met on the internet. Amanda failed to show for her usual ride home.
“Like we said, we know she’s been online. We know there’s an individual, possibly from Georgia, that is somebody they’re looking at, somebody from Horseshoe Bend that we’ve learned about, that the police are aware of,” said Emory.
Judging by the date that Amanda went missing, we can surmise how the conversation on-line went between Amanda and the person she ran off with. The Valentine connection is too much a coincidence to overlook as to why she ran off with someone who may have been feeding her a line to especially meet for Valentine’s Day.
