Father asks for help in finding kidnapped son, Erik Buran, as warrants issued for kidnapping.
A Reno father is asking for the public’s help in finding his 4-year-old son 
believed abducted by his mother in April. Lyon County issued a warrant June 27 charging Karen O’Grady, 49, with felony kidnapping in the abduction of her son, Erik Buran, on April 25. According to father, Robert Buran, he and his ex-wife have shared joint custody of Erik since their divorce in 2001. Buran had Erik three days a week, and O’Grady had him four days. Just before the abduction, Buran had filed for sole custody of his son and had lodged a complaint with Child Protective Services alleging O’Grady’s boyfriend physically abused Erik. Since then, a Reno judge awarded Buran sole custody.
Erik is listed as missing by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, Nevada Child Seekers, Child Find of America and the Vanished Children’s Alliance.
Texas Missing Persons Clearinghouse Online Bulletin -Poster
• Erik Buran is 4 years old, 3 feet, 6 inches tall, with bluish-grey eyes and sandy blonde hair.
• Karen O’Grady is 49 years old, 5 feet 4 inches tall, with blue eyes and brown hair. She also uses the last names of Akers, Buran and Ligon.
• Anyone with information about their whereabouts or about a motor home O’Grady or her companion purchased just before they disappeared is asked to call the Lyon County Sheriff’s Department at 577-5096.

Project Jason: Voice for the Missing has an amazing piece on Erik Buran and has been following the story since the beginning. They bring up a rather perplexing issue when it comes to Amber Alerts, although it seems that rules were bent when it came to missing teen, VCU freshman, Taylor Behl. It would seem to me that when it came to the safety of a child no rule is beyond breaking. Why no Amber Alert issued is sad. This program was set up to alert people and help find children, not create frustrating road blocks.
I want to remind you of the post I made on September 16th, entitled “Rules Meant to be Broken?”. This post outlined the State of Virgina’s Amber Alert criteria, admittedly broken for Taylor Behl. As of news stories today, police still state they have no evidence of foul play in her case. The State never responded to my letter, which asked how they were able to do this for Taylor. In Nevada, Robert Buran has been told that Erik does not meet their criteria because it is a case that involves parental abduction. Robert tells me that his research shows that since the Amber Alert began in Nevada in July of 2003, 15 Amber Alerts have been issued. 9 of those 15 were cases of parental abductions, with one being issued by the jurisdiction that tells Robert “no”.

Endangered person alert also needed
Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff recently announced the Endangered Person Advisory program, which can be used in the cases of missing persons – regardless of age – whose cases do not fall within the parameters of the Amber Alert program.
Such situations would include lost hikers, kidnapped adults, missing Alzheimer’s patients or anyone who has disappeared under suspicious circumstances.
The Endangered Persons Alert will have some differences from the Amber Alert Program:
The new program will be a scaled-down version of the Amber Alert system in that it will not call for emergency broadcasts on television, radio and electronic signs on highways. However, when an Endangered Person Advisory goes into effect, law-enforcement agencies, businesses and the media will quickly receive a press release with information about the missing person and when they were last seen. Advisories also will be posted at state ports of entry, which could be an important factor in Southern Utah cases.
While it is vitally important that we protect vulnerable children who have been abducted, it is also important to involve the public in helping to find other missing persons.

From KOTV 6, The bodies of missing teen Caitlin Elizabeth Wooten and her alleged abductor Jerry Don Savage were spotted by troopers who were searching for them in an Oklahoma Highway Patrol helicopter shortly before 10 am.
Officials in Ada say the bodies of Caitlin Elizabeth Wooten and Jerry Don Savage were spotted by troopers who were searching for them in an Oklahoma Highway Patrol helicopter shortly before 10 am.
Ada spokesman Mark Bratcher says the troopers guided a search team on the ground to the partially wooded area in Pontotoc County six miles southwest of Ada. Bratcher says each of the victims died from gunshot wounds, but it wasn’t known how long they had been dead.
As posted yesterday, an Amber Alert issues for 16 year old Caitlin Elizabeth Wooten who had been taken at gun point by Jerry Don Savage. Less than 24 hours later both are found dead from gun shot wounds.
A truly sad ending to an all to common situation in this country that could have been prevented. Reportedly, there was a restraining order against Jerry Don Savage, the ex-boy friend of Caitlin Elizabeth Wooten’s mother. He had allegedly kidnapped or had attempted to kidnap Caitlin’s mother.
Court records show Savage had a protective order filed against him on August 30th. We’re told he is the ex-boyfriend of Wooten’s mother.
This country needs to figure out a better way of how to protect children and those that actually obey the laws. Authorities need to figure out that “THE INNOCENT HAVE RIGHT TO!!!”. A piece of “protective order” paper is worth about as much as the paper it is written on to a person who does not care about the law. We need to start treating these individuals as the CRIMINALS they are and not worrying about their rights.
FORGIVE ME, BUT WHO WAS LOOKING OUT AFTER CAITLIN ELIZABETH WOOTEN’S RIGHTS?

From The BYU News Net, a new program in Utah started Monday to help find missing people who may be in danger. The Endangered Person Advisory is an alternative to the Amber Alert.
The state on Monday activated a new program to help find missing people who may be in danger.
The Endangered Person Advisory is an alternative to the Amber Alert, which is a plan to quickly notify public agencies, the media and the public if a child is missing and believed to be in danger.
The Endangered Person Advisory can be used to try to find people who have disappeared, from an elderly person with Alzheimer’s disease to a 14-year-old girl with questionable correspondence on her computer, the state attorney general’s office said.
“We could have used something like this,” Jody Hawkins, the mother of Brennan Hawkins, 11, who was lost in the mountains without food or water for four days, said in a statement.
“We needed the public’s help and we needed it immediately. The Endangered Person Advisory will be a real blessing for other parents searching for their children.”
As authorities have stated, this program will be yet another useful resource in the finding of people in danger used to supplement existing alert programs.
“The Amber Alert has been an extremely effective tool for bringing abducted children home,” Attorney General Mark Shurtleff said in a statement. “With the addition of the Endangered Person Advisory, police officers have a simple, clear-cut plan for finding others who may be in danger.”
Under the current Amber Alert system, newspapers, television and radio stations are told when a child is missing and believed to be in danger. Electronic highway signs also can flash information to drivers on major roads, with details such as a child’s description or the description of a suspect’s car.

A new program called “A Child Is Missing” started Monday across Pennsylvania
It works just like this — a person goes missing, and a police officer calls ACIM. The officer gives pertinent information — such as where they were last seen and a good description. Within 15 minutes, thousands of calls go out.
The major difference between this missing persons program and The Amber Alert one is the following:
And unlike the Amber Alert system, which only is used for stranger abductions and has taken up to three hours in some cases to activate, ACIM is a rapid response system for runaways, Alzheimer’s patients, children and college students.
If you have a cell phone or an unlisted home number, you can also register those numbers with “A Child is Missing” and they contact you there. All you have to do is log on to their Web site, achildismissing.org.

CBS is Reporting on their web page:
Though he’s not a suspect in the case, the man was one of the last people to see Taylor the night she disappeared.
“They had been talking for a while online,” Cino says, “and it’s possible she considered him a confidant of sorts. She couldn’t have known too many people around here at that point.”
Taylor left her dorm room and vanished after taking only her cell phone, student ID, a little cash, and the keys to her car, police say. That car was spotted over the weekend by an off-duty officer.
“It’s a very big piece in the puzzle,” Richmond Police Chief Raymond Monroe says, “and, hopefully, once we have an opportunity to search the vehicle further, it can give us more information.”
The Times Dispatch also reports:
The dog could smell her, but he couldn’t find her.
The scent of Taylor Marie Behl, a missing Virginia Commonwealth University freshman, was one of two scents that were picked up by a Louisa County police dog brought in Saturday night to search her recovered car.
The other scent produced what police chief Rodney Monroe described as a “successful track,” which produced several leads that investigators were aggressively pursuing last night. Monroe would not say what the dog discovered or where its nose led investigators.
But the lead was a sign of further progress in the intensive criminal investigation into the disappearance of the 17-year-old Vienna girl, who has not been seen or heard from since leaving her dorm room two weeks ago on Sept. 5.
