amy_vargas_missing

16 Year old Amy Vargas is missing while vacationing in Cancun, Mexico with her grandmother and great grandmother. Amy Vargas went missing on January 28, 2010 where according to Vargas’ grandmother while they were at the pool, Vargas asked to use the restroom and never returned. Vargas  disappeared while taking a bathroom break from a pickup baseball game on the beach Thursday. According to authorities who interviewed resort employees, they believe Amy Vargas left the property with two other men.

Family members said they checked into Great Parnasus Hotel last Saturday and Amy Vargas disappeared on Thursday shortly after she spoke to her mother by phone.

“She said, ‘I’m with grandma. I’m fine. I love you and I’ll see you soon,’” said Vargas’ mother D’An Simmons.

Vargas’ grandmother said while they were at the pool, Vargas asked to use the restroom and never returned.

The family is convinced that she did not leave willingly. Who ever may have taken her knew what they were doing as investigators tried to track Vargas through her cell phone; however,  it appears the phone was turned off shortly after she disappeared.

Simmons is preparing to fly to Chicago, where she will make a plea for an emergency passport to travel to Mexico to help in an effort to find Vargas.

“That is the only thing keeping me calm,” she said of the preparations. “I just want her back safe.”

Simmons said the FBI, police in Mexico and the resort’s security team are working hard to find her daughter and she praised their efforts.

The FBI office in Detroit on Saturday confirmed they had received a missing person report for an area juvenile but declined to comment further on the case.

Simmons said her daughter is no stranger to traveling safely and over the summer visited St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands. She said Vargas planned this trip to coincide with mid-terms wrapping up at Dakota High School; she is in the 10th grade.

If anyone has any information regarding the missing Amy Vargas please call Cancun police at 998-884-1913.

21 Year Old Kidnapped & Missing Courtney Beard Found Injuried But Alive

Courtney Beard, a mother of two who was kidnapped while going to work at the Green Oak Township Olive Garden by her ex-boyfriend 23 year old Brandon Jay Smith of South Lyon from the parking lot at about 5:20 p.m. Friday after a “physical altercation” occurred as the woman was heading to work.

Kidnapped Courtney Beard found injured by alive

It was first believed Smith had a gun, but witnesses said he had a knife, police said.

Antrim County sheriff’s deputies found Beard at about 5:49 a.m. Saturday at a remote hunting cabin north of Mancelona that Green Oak Township Police Chief Robert Brookins said belongs to a Smith family member.

There is good news in the end from this story as Courtney Beard was found injured but alive in Antrim County early Saturday morning. Courtney Beard suffered from wounds and hypothermia.

Beard had been injured and was suffering from hypothermia from reportedly walking for several hours in the snow to reach the cabin. She was flown by helicopter to Otsego Memorial Hospital in Gaylord for emergency medical treatment.

The nature of her other injuries was not immediately known. The reason for the altercation also was not immediately known, but police said Smith was on electronic tether from a domestic violence case involving Beard. His criminal record also includes a misdemeanor conviction for assault and battery.

Brandon Jay Smith was also at the cabin with Courtney Beard and was taken into custody and arrested.  It is reported by police that Brandon Jay Smith is on probation in connection with a recent assault against Courtney Beard.  Beard’s family says he was ordered to stay away from Courtney Beard, but apparently removed his tether before the alleged kidnapping. The judicial system needs to throw this individual in jail before this stalking winds up in murder.

23 Year Old Myles Robinson Missing in Swiss Alps Since 12/22/09

 23 year old Myles Robinson has been missing since Tuesday, December 22, 2009. Robinson was last seen at 2 AM Tuesday when he escorted a family friend to her hotel. He was supposed to walk back just 200 yards back to his hotel but never arrived. Hmm. When Myles Robinson disappeared he was wearing blue jeans, a white shirt, a dark sweater and a dark jacket.

Myles Robinson, 23, was last seen outside the Blue Monkey bar in Wengen just after 2 a.m. on Tuesday when he escorted a friend to her hotel.

Last night his family, who were with him on holiday, spoke of their frantic search.

His sister Cara, 25, said, “We’ve heard absolutely nothing since then. It’s a total mystery.”

She said her family could think of no reason why he would suddenly disappear.

Despite a large scale search involving the army, police sniffer dogs and helicopters armed with heat-seeking equipment, there has been no trace of Myles Robinson has been found.

A comment from Myles parents regarding their sons disappearance. Generally folks, people do not plan to go missing. Could this be another alcohol related missing persons case like that of the disappearance of Devon Hollahan?

What should have been a happy Christmas break has turned into a nightmare for the Robinson family. His parents, Michael and Sarah, said their son had “everything to live for” and no reason to go missing.

His girlfriend was planning to fly out to Switzerland this Sunday to see in the New Year with him, and he is due to start a new job with a London financial services company on January 4.

Thomas J. Leggs, 30, a registered sex offender, has been charged with kidnapping and burglary and was in custody, authorities said. Officials said that he is Sarah’s aunt’s ex-boyfriend and that their relationship ended about a month ago.

Why on earth do these woman date sex offender?Do they think they will actually change? That they won’t be attracted to little girls? Oh wait, they have changed, they have been cured.

Leggs, who authorities said lives in Salisbury in an outbuilding on property his parents own, is registered as a sex offender in Maryland and Delaware.

According to Maryland’s sex offender registry, Leggs has a conviction for a third-degree sex offense. Wicomico officials said the victim in that crime was a young girl.

According to a Delaware Web site, Leggs is a “high-risk” offender who was convicted in 2001 of raping a teenager.

Authorities were asking for information from anyone who might have seen Leggs’s vehicle, a 2003 champagne-colored Dodge Ram pickup, between 11 p.m. Tuesday and 11 a.m. Wednesday. Officials ask that anyone with information about Sarah’s disappearance call the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office at 410-548-4891.
