After 8 years on the National Registry for Missing and Exploited Children, Nathalie Garcia was found on Tuesday. The 12 year old girl was found at Malvern Junior High School. Jessica Coman, one of Nathalie’s classmates saw her photograph on a pamphlet from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Unbelievable. What great news.
After 8 years on the National Registry for Missing and Exploited Children, on Tuesday a 12 year old girl was found at Malvern Junior High School.
Malvern Police say Nathalie Garcia was taken from San Antonio, Texas by her biological mother in 1997, when she was just 5 years old. Police say the mother did not have custody of her, because of a previous incarceration, and later kidnapped her during a visitation.
The 8 year old case was cracked on Tuesday, when Garcia’s classmate, Jessica Coman noticed her photograph on a pamphlet from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
“I`m like proud of myself, but I think what if something bad happens to her. What if she`s not happy? It kind of makes me feel guilty,” said classmate Jessica Coman.
“I think this defines her by who she is and who she`ll become, by something she did at 12 years old — I`m amazed,” said Coman’s mother Angie.

John Ryan, 31, of Erie was found a few hundred yards from the boundaries of the Keystone ski resort.
A snowboarder survived three days lost in the back-country wilderness by building a shelter of pine boughs as temperatures dropped into the low teens, his rescuers said.
John Ryan, 31, of Erie was found a few hundred yards from the boundaries of the Keystone ski resort, where he had gone riding alone Wednesday, said Mike Schmitt, spokesman for Summit County Search and Rescue.
“Whatever he did, he did something right to stay alive these last three days,” Schmitt said. Friends said he was in good condition
AP: Snowboarder Says He Prayed While Lost
When all else fails sometimes all you can do is pray. Seemed to work for John Ryan.
His rescuers credited snowboarder John Ryan with doing all the right things to survive three days lost in the mountains outside a ski resort area, but he doubts he would have made it through another night.
“I did a lot of praying up there, praying that I would see my family again,” Ryan, 31, said Sunday in a telephone interview from his bed at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. “I had no idea exactly where I was.”
He was found Saturday, three days after he wandered outside the boundary of the Keystone Ski Resort into an area known as Jones Gulch, at around 11,000 feet. When he didn’t show up for work at the Pump-house Brewery in Longmont on Thursday night he was reported missing by his wife, Karyn, and fellow employees.

Sophia Alanizm is missing and family fears that maybe she has been abducted by previous acquaintance.
More than 24 hours after Sophia Alaniz’s disappearance, her family passed out 500 missing person posters around Plainview and Lubbock. Barbara Croswell did not think she would be passing out information about her missing cousin.
“I know she left him a couple of weeks ago and was staying with a good friend. He found out where she was,” said Barbara.
Marcus Barrios dated Sophia for six months. She left him when she found out his sorted past. “The last run-in was a stalking charge. He had a history of assaults against ex-girlfriends,” said Constable Mark Mull.
Hale County Crime stoppers is offering a reward up to $1,000 for information leading to Barrio’s arrest. The two were last seen driving away in a 2002 Chevy Malibu like this one with the license plate number H17-ZRJ .
The car also has a Longhorn sticker on the back window. If you have any information, call the Texas Rangers at (806) 296-2724. Because of Barrios’s history of violence and gang relations, Hale County called the Texas Rangers and the U.S. Marshals to assist.
Update: Lubbock Police Find Missing Plainview Woman
A Plainview woman is safe and her accused kidnapper behind bars. Lubbock Police found Sophia Anne Alaniz and Marcus Edward Barrios at a Central Lubbock apartment complex, early Wednesday morning.
Hale County authorities had been searching for the two since Monday when Barrios allegedly abducted his ex-girlfriend from a home in Plainview.
Update: Lubbock PD arrests kidnapping suspect
Police arrested suspected kidnapper Marcos Edward Barrios Tuesday night after leads led officials to his Lubbock apartment.
Lubbock police found Barrios and 35-year-old Sophia Anne Alaniz, who Barrios allegedly kidnapped Tuesday morning in Plainview, at about 11 p.m. Tuesday outside of the Hickory Tree Apartments located at 1629 16th St.
Barrios, who police named as a suspect in the abduction following tips from witnesses, was arrested on a misdemeanor warrant.
Witnesses claimed Barrios lured Alaniz from a house located in the 200 block of southeast Sixth Street, just outside Plainview city limits, at about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday, Hale County Sheriff’s deputies said.

JESSE WAYNE STEEL, Jr had been missing since 10/26/05 in Texas. He is a 15 year old special needs teen who was last seen at home. Enter Texas Equusearch and the many inspired volunteers to help in the search for Jesse Wayne Steel, Jr.
The great news is that Scared Monkeys received an email from Joe Huston notifying us that Jessee was found safe and sound Saturday. We also received more information from one of the volunteers who took time out of her life to help find Jesse. If you ever want to know what one can do to help the many families in need who are missing their loved ones? Volunteer to help. No words can describe the thanks that families have and the rewarding feeling it provides to all when one sacrifices for people that have never met. The following is a story from one of out Scared Monkey members describing her first search ever. Congratulations Sunny in TX, we are all proud of your sacrifice to help others. Hear her story in her own words.
I sent in my volunteer membership application to TES a couple months ago. On Friday I was called to assist in a search for a missing 15 year old boy. He had been missing since just after school on Wednesday. He is 15 and has some learning disabilities. I had no idea what to expect so ….. I dressed in jeans, sneakers, a tee shirt and a long sleeve jeans shirt ….. took my water bottles and headed out at 7:30 Saturday morning.
I arrived and much to my surprise Joe Huston was the person in charge of this search/rescue operation…..a man we all know and have great respect for. And my respect has risen even higher after having worked with him. He is a kind, sincere, friendly, warm and a very focused and dedicated man.
All the TES people … (all volunteers) are fantastic. You immediately feel you are part of a very loving family. Each of them were warm, friendly caring and FOCUSED people.
After filling out my paper work .. ( this is done with each search you assist in) and meeting the other volunteers… we wait for instructions. Joe and others were looking at aerial maps, consulting with family members and plotting the search.
About 9AM we were gathered together and explained the initial search would begin in the WOODS! Oh my!! I had been looking at the woods thinking I am sure not gonna be going in there! All the sudden …. this voice screamed in my soul …. OH YES YOU ARE! I thought I had been possessed by a demon!! Let me briefly explain…I am deathly afraid of snakes…even the rubber kind……terrified…can’t even look at the on the TV…. It is explained we will be walking a grid type pattern, each searcher about 10 feet apart from the person on the right and left of you..once we reach our destination ( a creek) we would pivot around the point person on the far left of us and then walk back to the road. We would continue to do this until this area was cleared unless we found ‘something’. I am thinking no way can I walk into those woods…just no way…why would I even want to walk in these woods?? Suddenly one of the volunteer’s says, “well at least we shouldn’t have to worry TOO MUCH about SNAKES as it was a very cool morning and they SHOULD not be out.” I was praying, Oh I hope to God the snakes know that bit of information!!! At that point I didn’t think I could go on. I was going to have to tell them I couldn’t do it …. suddenly it became very clear…. there was a lost child……perhaps hurt, in those woods…..no food, water or warm clothing…..that demon was changed into an angel with that thought… something inside me clicked and I knew I WAS going to walk into those woods!!
We took our places and began walking….keeping our lines as straight as possible…right into the woods…..within 10 feet it was so dense it was nearly impossible to see the person on your right or left…..one of the instructions we were given was to make sure you could see or at the very least hear them at all times….the safety of the searchers are paramont…..the spiny, thorny vines were tearing into our faces, tearing into our arms and right through our jeans..sticking in our hair and heads……but we kept on going….deeper and deeper….one of the experienced TES volunteers brought a machete and she walked ahead of us trying to cut a path….finally we reach the creek…..a head check is done there and several times throughout the search and we begin the pivot turn.
read the rest here…
