Terapon Adhahn Charged with Aggravated Murder of Zina Linnik (Did he kill Amber Hagerman also?)

42 year old Terapon Adhahn, accused child rapists and sex offender, will be charged with aggravated murder for the kidnapping and killing of 12-year-old Zina Linnik

Facing a possible death sentence if convicted, Adhahn will be arraigned Monday on the murder charge. Zina was abducted from her family’s Tacoma neighborhood July 4 and later found dead in east Pierce County.

Adhahn currently faces 12 felony counts related to the rape of two other girls. He pleaded not guilty Thursday to 10 rape counts, a kidnapping charge and a charge of failing to register as a sex offender.

As Terapon Adhahn pleaded not guilty to the charges before him; investigators are looking to Terapon’s past to see just how many other children he may have sexually assaulted, raped and murdered.

Adhahn, a 42-year-old handyman and former Army Ranger, pleaded not guilty to 12 felony counts accusing him of repeatedly raping two girls, and failing to register as a sex offender after a 1990 incest conviction.

So much for the Judges in this country who believe that these predators will not repeat their crimes.

Mr. Adhahn is suspected in the murder of one young girl in the Tacoma area and is a “person of interest” in the death of another girl, according KING-TV in Seattle. He has also been charged with the 2000 kidnapping and rape of an 11-year-old girl who was found duct taped to a tree in the Seattle area and with the rape of another girl. (Dallas News)

The search for potential other victims continues. Did Terapon Adahn kill Amber Hagerman also?

Nine-year-old Amber Hagerman disappeared while riding her bicycle near her grandparents’ house in 1996. Her body was found four days after she vanished.

The search for victims has spread as far as Texas, where investigators are trying to determine whether Adhahn is responsible for the 1996 slaying that inspired the national “Amber Alert” missing-child notification system.

In the Pierce County case, investigators believe Adhahn sexually assaulted one girl at least 150 times — once at gunpoint — during the four years she lived with him at a Spanaway home. He also faces charges in the 2000 abduction and rape of an 11-year-old Tacoma girl who was left bound and bleeding in a remote, wooded section of Fort Lewis.

After Thursday’s court hearing, Loni Rasmussen, younger sister of the Fort Lewis victim, said finally seeing the man accused of brutalizing her sister seven years ago inspired fear and anger, and also relief.

“I hate what he did to my sister,” Rasmussen said. (Seattle PI)

So how is this child predator linked to the death of Amber Hagerman?

Amber disappeared Jan. 13, 1996. Her body was found four days later.

Adhahn’s mother and brother live in nearby Forth Worth, but it is not known whether Adhahn was in the area when Amber vanished. Court documents indicate Adhahn attended a sex-offenders group meeting in Tacoma on Jan. 9, 1996, four days before Amber disappeared. He also attended a group meeting in Tacoma on Jan. 16, a day before her body was found.

UPDATE I: Adhahn may be linked to 1995 abduction

Is it possible that Adhahn could be linked to crimes that took place as far back as 1995? Could Terapon Adhahn be connected in a 1995 abduction and assault of a 21 year old convenience store clerk? According to records, Terapon Adhahn was living seven blocks away from the convenience store where the clerk was abducted in November 1995. Abhahn also attended a group therapy session for sex offenders in Tacoma hours before the abduction took place. Coincidence or connected?

Tacoma police are investigating whether Terapon Adhahn was involved in the 1995 abduction, assault and shooting of a 21-year-old convenience store clerk.

The woman, who was left for dead near Fort Lewis Golf Course, now says she believes her attacker may have been the man charged this week with abducting and killing a 12-year-old girl who was snatched from an alley behind her family’s Tacoma home on July 4th. (KOMO-TV)

42 Year Old Thailand Sex Offender Person of Interest in Missing Zina Linnik Case

12 year old Zina Linnik has been missing since the evening of July 4, 2007 when she Zina Linnikwas abducted from her Tacoma, WA home by an Asian looking man in an older gray van. A 42 year old sex offender is being held as a person of interest in the disappearance of Zinna Linnik.

The person of interest is a 42-year-old sex offender from Thailand. He’s currently being held for failing to register for an immigration violation and denies any involvement in Zina’s disappearance.

A search warrant reports investigators on Monday found a girl’s undergarments at his home, where he lives alone. He responded to that news by saying he was remodeling the home for his sister.

Investigators also seized a gray van to search for evidence, and the man admitted he had recently changed the license plate. (FOX News)

According to reports, a tip has lead investigators to the Tiger Mountain area where they are presently searching. It appears that the tip to search this area did not come from the man in custody.

AMBER ALERT Issued in Washington State for Lars Baugher & Remi Baugher (UPDATES) FOUND SAFE

AMBER ALERT was issued in Washington State for 2 year old Lars Baugher and 4 year old Remi Baugher. They were taken by their father, John Baugher. Authorities fear for the children’s safety due to the fathers mental health.

Mental problems had plagued him, and after his divorce, he lost custody.

During his marriage, police say they were called to the Baugher home for domestic problems, but he’d just been granted limited custody by the courts.

Now the family hopes the man they once called a good father will seek help.

“I believe in my heart that if he knew the damage he was doing to their emotional state that he wouldn’t be doing it, but he doesn’t realize that at this point,” said Pierre Remillard, the children’s great uncle and their mother’s uncle. (KNDO)

  • 5 feet 4 and 110 pounds
  • Reddish-brown curly hair
  • Wearing blue jeans, red jacket with reflective tape, dark blue hat

TRAPHILL, N.C. — Search teams combed mountain terrain Sunday for a 12-year-Michael Auberryold Boy Scout who disappeared during an outing.

About 10 scouts and the adult leaders of Troop 230, from Greensboro, noticed that Michael Auberry was missing between 12:30 p.m. and 1 p.m. Saturday in Stone Mountain State Park, officials said.

The troop had gone on a hike earlier Saturday, and the boy and an adult stayed behind, said David Bauer, a ranger with the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was not immediately clear why they stayed behind.

After the troop returned and ate lunch with Michael and the adult, the troop noticed the boy was missing from camp. Searchers found part of his mess kit less than a mile away late Saturday, Bauer said. (Houston Chronicle)

Searchers find missing Boy Scout’s mess kit, footprints

WILKESBORO, North Carolina (CNN) — Authorities searching for a 12-year-old Boy Scout missing since Saturday found his mess kit near where he had been camping with members of his troop near the Blue Ridge Parkway, officials told CNN Sunday.

The missing boy, Michael Auberry, of Greensboro, North Carolina, had remained with an adult at the campsite while other scouts went for a hike, said Dave Bauer of the Blue Ridge Parkway National Park Service.

When the other scouts returned, they ate lunch with Michael who later disappeared from the camp, Bauer said.

UPDATE I: Day Two In Search For Missing Boy Scout

UPDATE II: Search continues for missing Scout

Brent Pennington, a district ranger with the Blue Ridge Parkway, said that crews are spending the day searching intensively in small areas and moving on to others if they don’t find anything.

“Right now we’re still very optimistic,” Pennington said.

Last night, a dive team from Alleghany County searched in the water below a dam in Doughton Park. Auberry’s parents, Kent Auberry and Debbie Hayes, said they were very relieved when the water search turned up nothing. (Journal Now)

UPDATE III: Family Asks for Prayers as Search Continues for Missing Boy Scout in North Carolina

MCGRADY, N.C. —  The family of a missing Boy Scout asked for prayers Monday as the search for the 12-year-old continued in a heavily wooded mountain area in western North Carolina.

“We’re doing our best to provide moral support to the family, to the leaders of the troop,” said John Meeks, Scout Executive of the Greensboro-based Old North State Council, which governs the troop and others in the region. “They’re asking for prayers. As you can imagine, they’re concerned.”

Chopper and tactical tracking teams were being used Monday, and searchers were also going to check out drainage ditches. They were to focus their search in the area from where Auberry’s mess kit was found and outward.

“The most probable thing is that he walked away, went out in the woods and went to investigate,” said David Bauer, a ranger with the parkway. (Fox News)

UPDATE I: Baby Kidnapped from Texas Hospital.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - A woman posing as a medical worker kidnapped a three-day-old infant from a hospital early Saturday, police said.

Mychael Darthard-Dawodu was last seen at 1:20 a.m. at Covenant Lakeside Hospital when a woman wearing blue and flower-print hospital scrubs and a gray hooded jacket took her and drove off in a pickup truck, police said.

Hospital surveillance video showed the woman with the jacket hood pulled around her head and holding a purse as she walked through the lobby.

The woman may have had a male accomplice, Hudgens said.

“At this point we don’t have any reason to believe that the family knew the suspect,” Hudgens said.

The suspect had gone into the mother’s room several times before the baby was taken, telling the mother the baby needed treatment, said Stafford.

“I think there was more than one attempt,” Stafford said. “I’m trying to verify if it was two or three times.”

3-year-old Ethan Foley Still Missing, Kidnapped by Biological Mother, Noel Raleigh (UPDATE: Found Safe)

It has been more than a month since 3 year old Ethan Foley went missing. He was kidnapped by his biological mother, Noel Raleigh and his aunt Stephanie Martinez. Sharon Foley-Pryor is Ethan Foley’s paternal grandmother and his sole legal guardian. The missing persons case was initially handled rather poorly.

Time is critical in any missing person’s case — especially when you’re searching for a kidnapped child. But in the case of 3-year-old Ethan Foley, there was no Amber Alert issued and it took a month for police to finally alert the media. Now, we find out why police waited and why Ethan’s grandmother fears too much time has passed. Sharon Foley-Pryor, Ethan’s grandmother said, “I’m frightened for him… so frightened for him.” (KLAS-TV)

Ethan’s grand mother fears for his safety as his mother lead a rather wild and dangerous life using drugs. AMBER ALERTS are usually a beneficial tool in helping locate missing children; however, in this case it failed miserably. It supposedly did not meet the criteria. One needs to seriously ask themselves why there would be restrictions on a tool used to find children. It hardly makes sense.

That same night — Sharon Foley-Pryor says, with her legal guardianship documents in hand, she and her attorney pleaded with Metro to issue a statewide Amber Alert for Ethan — but she was told the case didn’t meet the criteria. “They said because she didn’t say that she was going to hurt him, that it couldn’t be an Amber Alert,” said Foley. Metro Missing Persons detective, Sandy Southwell, confirms there must be an imminent threat of danger to enact an Amber Alert. Metro says parental abductions are also the most complex kidnapping cases they deal with.

If you have any helpful information, call Metro’s Missing Persons Unit at 828-LOST.

UPDATE I: Missing Las Vegas Boy Found in Virginia

A three-year-old Las Vegas boy missing for a month is back in the Valley.

Ethan’s Foley’s grandmother, Sharon Foley Pryor, told Eyewitness News Friday afternoon he was located in Virginia. She is flew there to get him over the weekend.

She now hopes to work on changing the criteria for Amber Alerts so they can be issued in cases of child abductions in which it is not immediately known if there is a threat to the child. (KLAS-TV)
