31 year old Shawn Waters has been missing since Sunday evening, November 23, 
2008 when he went fishing in a ganoe, a canoe with an outboard motor, near Merritt Island on Sunday evening. Waters’ truck was found near the entrance to the Pine Island conservation area on Merritt Island and Waters’ boat was found Monday afternoon at Manatee Cove, which is nearly a mile south of Pine Island. The Coast Guard has suspended its search for a missing Brevard County fisherman, Shawn Waters. It is reported that Waters was wearing a life jacket.
Waters’ truck was found near the entrance to the Pine Island conservation area on Merritt Island where he usually parks for fishing trips.
Deputies said Waters’ boat was found Monday afternoon at Manatee Cove, which is nearly a mile south of Pine Island. A resident found the overturned boat, and called authorities after watching Eyewitness News at 11, Tuesday night.
The Coast Guard had been using a helicopter and two boats to conduct the search. A helicopter from Patrick Air Force Base and members of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and deputies from the Brevard County Sheriff’s office also helped.
“It is always a tough decision to suspend a search,” said Capt. Paul Thomas of the Coast Guard. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.”
Boater finds missing angler’s watercraft
Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Linda Moros said authorities concentrated their search on the area where the boat was found capsized with nothing in it just north of Manatee Cove, about 110 yards off an island in the Pine Island Conservation Area on Merritt Island.
Waters went fishing there Sunday in his flat-bottomed, light-blue “Gheenoe” and failed to return.
A Gheenoe is a flat-bottomed boat similar to a canoe that is equipped with an outboard motor.
The Gheenoe was found overturned by a fisherman around 4 p.m. Monday. The fisherman said he realized the boat he found and took home might belong to Waters after he saw reports about efforts to locate the missing boater on television news, Moros said.
EquuSearch To Help Search For Missing Boater
Officials with Texas EquuSearch said the search and recovery group planned to help look for missing boater Sean Waters in Brevard County Sunday.
Waters went fishing last weekend in Pine Island Conservation Area, and has not been seen since.
Crews spent hours searching the area in the last week looking for Waters, and found his boat overturned and abandoned.
UPDATE I: Body discovered in Manatee Cove identified
The body discovered near Manatee Cove has been identified as Jonathan Shawn Evans Waters, the boater who was reported missing more than a week ago in the Indian River in Merritt Island.
Water’s body was found near a camp where he had been before he went missing. He was found at 1 p.m. today floating face down and 10 feet away from the shoreline.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating the incident as a boating accident. There are no signs of foul play.

James Biela
James Biela was booked into the Washoe County Jail on charges of murder, kidnapping in the first degree and sexual assault, but could not confirm he is the suspect in the Denison case.
Biela was arrested at the Stepping Stones Children’s Center, where officials said he was dropping off his son. Reno police took a DNA sample from the suspect and said it would take 12 hours to process.
Brianna Denison
Police spokesman Steve Frady issued a one-sentence news release announcing a news conference at 10:30 a.m. today. He would not say whether the suspect was arrested in Reno or elsewhere.
19 year old Brianna Denison disappeared January 20, 2008 and whose body was later found in a field in South Reno on February 15, 2008. At the time of the recovery police stated they had found DNA evidence at the scene of the crime that they say links the suspect to other sexual assaults near the UNR campus.
Police said they recovered DNA evidence at the scene that would link a suspect to the crime. The DNA samples also linked Denison’s killer to three other sexually related attacks on women at or near UNR from October to December 2007.
Could police have finally found a serial rapist that has been connected to at least 3 reported assualts in the Reno area?

According to Local 6 out of Orlando, FL there was a possible sighting of missing 3 year old Caylee Anthony. This is just one of the many sightings of Caylee Anthony since she went missing. All other previous sightings have turned out to be false leads. The picture below seems to be more and the same.
Picture of potential sighting of Caylee Anthony
A photo of a girl involved in a possible Caylee sighting at a mall located northwest of Orlando was released on Friday by a group searching for the missing girl, but a family investigator would not identify the mall nor say when the photo was taken.
D & A Investigations, an agency working with the Anthony family in the search for Caylee, obtained the photo, which was taken by a patron at the unnamed mall.
The person who took the picture has declined to comment, Dominic Casey with D & A Investigations said. Casey said the mall has not been named because of his agency’s ongoing investigation.
When asked for specifics about the photo, Casey told Local 6 News reporter, “You’re not law enforcement.”
The photo has been provided to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI, according to a news release. Investigators with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office have not commented on the photo, but the agency has said that it believes Caylee is dead.
Left: Caylee Anthony, Center & Right pics of Orlando sighting
In doing a simple comparison of Caylee Anthony to the two photos taken of a potential sighting one can notice the obvious difference of the chin and nose. Once again it would appear to be a false sighting of Caylee and another attempt to perpetrate the notion that Caylee Anthony is alive. A convenient ruse to put forth to the public and potential jurors when tot mom Casey Anthony is brought to trial in the disappearance and death of Caylee Anthony. This plays right into the hands of the acts of denial from Cindy and George Anthony. Let’s just over look the evidence of human decomposition from the trunk and continue to follow pipe dream sightings. Might we add that there are still Elvis sightings and we know The King is dead.
The picture of the potential sighting of Caylee was reportedly snapped by a shopper at the mall and was given to D & A Investigations, a firm that is working with the Anthony family

What is going on with the Kid Finders Network?
The Kid Finders Network, a not for profit group that deals with missing children has been at the forefront of the Caylee Anthony missing persons case and also in the camp of the parents of indicted tot mom Casey Anthony. For quite some time there have been stories simmering under the surface regarding Kid Finders. There have been several allegations and rumors swirling regarding Kid Finders and their involvement in this case and several others.
Now comes this bomb shell from WFTV regarding Dennis Milstead who runs the Kid Finders Network …
VIDEO
Watch the above video of Dennis Milstead getting physical once again with a camera man has he did just recently in Blanchard Park during a meeting with the Anthony’s and Leonard Padilla. Temper, temper.
He’s been arrested twice, once for assault and once for impersonating a police officer, and he’s the man Caylee Anthony’s grandparents are trusting to help find their granddaughter.
Dennis Milstead runs the so-called Kid Finders Network, but Eyewitness News uncovered serious problems with his criminal past and his not-for profit group, including the fact Kid Finders has never found anybody.
Still, the organization is out every day, collecting donations using jars with Caylee’s picture on them. Even the Palm Beach County sheriff’s sergeant who helps run their Crime Stoppers operation says Orange County deputies have been warned about Milstead.
When Eyewitness News confronted Milstead about his criminal past, he got very quiet and then he grabbed WFTV reporter Kathi Belich’s microphone and pushed the camera while WFTV photographer Adam Liberatore was holding on to it.
Pictures of the confrontation can be seen here.
WFTV also goes on to report that Milstead in the past claimed he was a law enforcement officer, was arrested for a felony but plead down to a misdemeanor and seven months later another arrest for assault. Eyewitness News also reported that the president of Crime Stoppers in south Florida had a restraining order against Milstead.
Milstead’s pickup truck had a “Gotcha” emblem on the side of it instead of the Kid Finders emblem he has now. West Palm Beach police say he flashed phony blue lights and claimed he was a law enforcement officer. He plead his felony down to a misdemeanor and seven months later another arrest for assault.
Eyewitness News has also learned that the president of Crime Stoppers in south Florida had a restraining order against Milstead after he allegedly tried to connive a 90-percent cut of any donations he solicited for the group. At the time, Milstead was operating a business called Gotcha Billboards, but he was reportedly representing himself as an employee of the non-profit Crime Stoppers.
Milstead’s Kid Finders Network mentions its intentions to raise funds a number of times, mainly so it says it can build more billboards to report on missing children. Its list of accomplishments does not include finding any missing children.
So the grand parents of missing Caylee Anthony are putting all their eggs in the Kid Finders basket? A basket that has never found a missing child and has no track record of success. Bizarre to say the least.
Are Caylee Anthony’s Grandparents Trusting The Right Organizations?

Alisha left her Hatfield home Friday night after an arguement with her husband, Doug Sidie. Now officials are beginning to piece together a timeline of Alisha’s whereabouts that night, including the last people she had spoke with.
Sheriff Waldera says, “We are looking into the whereabouts and who had last contact, doesn’t matter if it was the husband or even friends she was with, but yes, we have investigators looking at all that information including the husband, what was going on and the details of the event that was told to us.”
Alisha Sidie Description:
UPDATE I: About 150 People Search for Missing Wisconsin Mother
Family, friends and law enforcement officers planned to regroup Tuesday to resume the search. About 150 people combed the Hatfield area on Monday. Searchers called in a tracking dog, helicopter and dive team as they looked for the mother of two.
“There’s so many dozens of ways that this could have happened,” Sidie’s friend Molly Hoffman told FOX News on Tuesday. “We all hope that she’s being a brat and she’s out there somewhere, but we also have thought about the worst and the more we look, it’s hard to say what actually happened when we have no news at all.”
Sidie’s ex-husband, Doug, says his wife left home about 9 p.m. Friday and never returned.
UPDATE II: Volunteers come up empty-handed on second day of search
Jordann Ojanpa says, “This has been the biggest challenge in the search efforts. Hatfield is completly covered in wooded areas. In over three hours, 160 volunteers could only cover 3 1/2 miles of woods.”
Searches now face the daunting task of sifting through brush and miles of wooded ares, hoping for any signs of Alisha.
Volunteer Amy Appel says, “We’re looking for items of clothing, really anything that looks remotely new that might be in relation, might give us some help.”
Alisha left her Hatfield home Friday night after an argument with her husband, Doug Sidie. Now officials are beginning to piece together a timeline of Alisha’s whereabouts that night, including the last people she had spoke with.

The case of a missing Jackson county woman takes a new turn. Investigators are now calling the ex-husband of Alisha Sidie a person of interest.
Investigators are also searching the Sidie home again for any clues.
“Now that we’re coming up short with our ground searches and any other information, it leads us back to the beginning. So we’re kind of backing up and saying, well let’s focus back at the residence and try to gather additional information,” said Jackson County Sherifff Duane Waldera.
On Saturday, Alisha’s ex-husband, Doug Sidie, told investigators he and Alisha got into an argument on Friday night. He told them Alisha walked off and hadn’t been seen since.

UPDATE I: Alaska Community Fears Fate of Missing Mom; Friend: ‘I’ve Got This Gut Feeling That Something Bad Has Happened’
Along the Seward Highway, between the towering cliffs of exposed rock and the fast-icing waters of Turnagain Arm, an abandoned pickup found last month looked to be a promising lead in the search for a woman who vanished on her way to work.
But inside the green 1996 GMC, found some six miles below McHugh Creek on Oct. 31, the belongings of Sheila Kathleen McBroom, 40, remained untouched. There were no signs of foul play, nothing wrong with the car suggesting mechanical malfunction, no suicide note.
UPDATE II: Disappearance of woman baffles family, friends
In the days before she disappeared, one of McBroom’s teenage daughters returned after spending more than a year out of state, and McBroom appeared to be thrilled about the reunion in a personal blog entry dated Oct. 26.
“was sweet to hug my girl again,” she wrote. “really nice to have everybody home at home right now. was so strange (good) to have all of us around the dinner table last night. the small and simple things matter more.”
But McBroom was also stressing about her job with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Elmendorf Air Force Base, said Bishop Lance Nelson, who supervises McBroom’s ward at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
McBroom had gotten renewed interest in the church in recent years and had taught primary school there, Nelson said. He called her a loving mother and said her abrupt disappearance has shocked those who knew her, especially her family.

UPDATE I: Aerial search reveals no clues of Thief River Falls woman’s whereabouts
A Civil Air Patrol airplane flew for several hours Tuesday over Pennington County looking for Gina Lin Anderson, the Thief River Falls woman missing since Oct. 23.
According to a dispatcher in the Pennington County law enforcement center, nothing was found. If the weather cooperates, an aerial search will be done today over Red Lake County, the dispatcher said.
Dave Odette, a local group commander with the Civil Air Patrol, coordinated the aerial search as assistant incident commander Tuesday, on the ground with the sheriff’s office.
A Cessna 172 single-engine four-passenger plane from Grand Rapids, Minn., flew in with three CAP volunteers: a pilot and two passengers, all trained in search and rescue, Odette said.
Using a grid pattern, the CAP plane flew at 1,000 feet, he said. Every 90 minutes to two hours, it would land to give some rest to the volunteers from the intense concentration of the searching, Odette said.
UPDATE II: California group joins search for missing Minnesotan
Ground searches in Pennington County have turned up nothing, and cloudy weather and rain and snow over the past few days and weeks have hampered air searches. A Civil Air Patrol did make rounds Tuesday, but another mission planned for today to search in neighboring counties has been scrubbed due to the weather, said Deputy Sheriff Ray Kuznia.
