23 month old Conner Cummings has been missing since Friday evening at about 6:30 PM in Granville County, NC. It would appear that Conner Cummings wandered away fro his home. Connor is a white male and was last seen wearing a red and blue jumper with sandals.
About 200 law officers and volunteers are searching a heavily wooded area in northwestern Granville County for a toddler thought to have wandered away from home Friday evening.
Connor Cummings, who is 23 months old, was last seen about 6:30 p.m. at his home on Jack Aycock Road. He was in the yard with his mother as she fed the family’s dogs. After a short time, she realized he was missing, as was his dog, a golden lab.
The mother searched on her own for about two hours before calling the Granville County Sheriff’s Office as the sun set. (The News Observer)
Although investigators believe that Conner Cummings wandered off they are not ruling out any possibilities. In this day and age and after the many missing person cases we have covered, one learns rather quickly that anything is possible.
Tingen said it is believed the boy simply wandered off, though investigators are considering the possibility he was abducted.
“We are not ruling anything out at this point,” Tingen said this morning. “We will search until this child is found.”
If anyone has any information or has seen Conner Cummings please call the Granville sheriff’s office communications center at (919) 693-3213.
Missing Toddler Wandered Away From Home
More than 100 people were searching a wooded area near the home of a missing toddler Saturday.
Crews searched the woods near the home on Jack Aycock Road all night, and additional search crews from as far away as Asheville arrived Saturday morning to assist. The North Carolina Wing of the Civil Air Patrol was also called to assist.
UPDATE I: Conner Cummings Found Safe
There is good news to report from the case of missing 23 month old Conner Cummings. Conner was found safe by searchers at about 8:30pm Saturday night.
“He was scratched up, dirty and had some ticks on him,” Tingen said in a telephone interview. “He was in pretty good spirits.”
More than 200 volunteers and police officers searched for the boy in woods that were thick with briars and vegetation. The Civil Air Patrol launched aircraft to search from above. (Washington Post)

Police are searching for missing 10 year old Samantha Williams who appears to have wandered off from her parents camp site in Bath, NY.
The girl was at a park with her family in the Steuben County Town of Bath. Investigators say Samantha Williams wandered away from her family around six Thursday night.
Police brought in search dogs, but the dog lost her scent in the woods. So now, forest rangers, fire departments and police are doing all the searching. They’ve been rotating shifts every six hours to keep fresh and alert. As of Thursday night, police said they didn’t want the public’s help in the search. (9 SYR)
Ten Year Old Girl Missing
Chief David Rouse with the Bath Police Department tells WETM that Williams was wearing a purple shirt with the words “Mango Mania” on it. She also was wearing denim capri pants.
UPDATE I: GREAT NEWS from Upstate New York.
10 year old Samantha Williams has been found “alive and well”. This is great news.
“I have wonderful news,” Bath Police Chief David Rouse said late Friday morning, signaling the end of an intensive search for a child missing for nearly 17 hours. “Samantha Williams has been found, alive and well.”
The police chief’s announcement marked the end of anxious search for the 10-year-old girl by fire, environmental and law enforcement officials from across the region.
Samantha was reportedly located around 10 a.m. under the Interstate 86 Exit 39 underpass on Babcock Hollow Road, several miles east of where she went missing in Mossy Bank Park Thursday evening.

5 year old missing Hannah Klamecki was feared drowned. She had been missing for 2 days and her grandfather, 62 year old David Klamecki, had previously been found drowned in the Kankakee River.
A 5-year-old girl who was feared drowned with her grandfather on a boating trip startled searchers Friday when she emerged from the woods – naked, scratched and holding raspberries.
Crews had pulled her grandfather’s body from the Kankakee River in eastern Illinois just hours earlier.
“People were like, ‘Who’s that little girl? That can’t be her, can it?’” Kankakee Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Ken McCabe said. “I went up to her (and) asked, ‘How you doing? What’s your name?’”
When authorities told Hannah Klamecki’s family – already grieving the loss of her grandfather – that she was alive, the home erupted in screaming. (FOX News)
What a tremendous story of survival from Hannah Klamecki. This was truly a miracle that she survived the ordeal.
Authorities believe the river current swept the girl away from a small island where she and her grandfather had stopped to swim and to the shore of the mainland where she eventually was found.
She told searchers she was wearing floats on her arms and pulled herself from the water with a branch.
“That’s a tough little girl, I tell you,” McCabe said.
Hannah said she had taken off her bathing suit because it was muddy and itchy, friends of the family said.
Lost For 2 Days, Girl Home Safe
Five-year-old Hannah Klamecki clutched her parents after spending two days alone in the woods. Even before searchers could locate her, she found them.
“I can’t tell you how excited and enthused I was to see that,” said Dave Horn, Momence, Ill., fire chief. “So I finally got on the air and screamed. I said, ‘Boys she’s alive. She’s alive.’”

15 year old Danielle Cramer had been missing since June 14, 2006. Danielle Cramer was discovered by police in the home of an acquaintance of her parents. It would appear that Danielle Cramer was locked in a small room underneath the stairs.
(Danielle Cramer)
Police from Bloomfield went to the home of an acquaintance of her parents with search warrants and to obtain DNA, and found the girl; she was locked in a tiny, 3-foot-tall, 4- or 5-feet-deep room under a staircase, blocked by a dresser, reports the Associated Press.
Her parents had not seen or heard from her in the year in which she was gone, no one around the neighborhood had seen her; there was no indication that anyone had, anyway, and the girl was quite pale. It is probable that she’d been indoors for a long time.
Adam Gault and Ann Murphy were arrested by police and taken in for further questioning.
Authorities have yet to say exactly what Cramer may have been subjected to during her time in captivity. Gault has been charged with unlawful restraint, reckless endangerment, and custodial interference, and is being held on bond. Murphy is facing conspiracy and risk of injury charges.
(Adam Gault arrested)
(Ann Murphy arrested)
(Adam Gault, Ann Murphy and Kimberly Cray all face multiple charges for imprisoning a Connecticut teen)
Captive Teen Found Under Hidden Staircase A Yr. After She Disappeared
An incredible story of terror and survival has led to the freedom of a long missing 15-year-old girl in the U.S. Danielle Cramer disappeared from her West Hartford, Connecticut home in June 2006, and authorities had been searching for her ever since. Many had given up hope she was still alive. But incredibly on Wednesday, they found her safe in a place no one ever thought to look – a locked space hidden under a stairwell in a couple’s West Bloomfield home.
UPDATE I: Video Trove Of Porn: Sexual Material Reportedly Found On Tapes Seized From Man Charged With Holding Girl
This bizarre story just got even more strange as the man accused of imprisoning a 15 year old girl is now found with a treasure trove of homemade porn. However, Bloomfield police are disputing the information, saying that they don’t yet know what is on videotapes seized from Adam Gault’s home.
Police have found homemade pornography on videos seized from a man charged with unlawfully keeping a teenage girl from her family for a year, a law enforcement source close to the investigation said.
The source said investigators are trying to determine the identities of a number of girls in the videos, which are of poor quality and were apparently posted on the Internet at various times. Adam Gault, a West Hartford dog trainer, is charged in the disappearance of 15-year-old Danielle Cramer of Bloomfield.
Danielle has told authorities that Gault was using her for Internet sex shows and modeling. It was not clear whether Gault, 41, participated in the shows. (The Hartford Courant)
CLOSET GAL GUY’S PORN TAPES
Adam Gault, 41, had a collection of grainy videos – some of which were posted on the Internet – that featured various young girls who have yet to be identified, sources told The Hartford Courant.
The videos were taken at Gault’s home, sources said.
Gault has been held on $1 million bond since Wednesday, when cops found Danielle Cramer, 15, locked in a secret room under a staircase.
Gault’s common-law wife Ann Murphy and a friend, Kimberly Cray, are also in custody.
UPDATE II: Just Like a Typical Defense Attorney … States Clients were only Harboring 15 year old Against Abusive Parents.
So these people were saving her from abusive parents and exploiting her to do porn on the internet? Isn’t that rich.
The parents’ attorney, Marc Needelman, also dismissed as “a total fabrication” defense claims that the girl had been abused at her own home and that she had found a safe haven in the home of Adam Gault, a 41-year-old man who had once worked with her stepfather. Police also have contested the claims.
“The Bloomfield police department has been involved in the investigation for over a year. They publicly stated yesterday in no uncertain terms that (the girl’s parents) have absolutely no responsibility, have committed no crimes or engaged in any improprieties,” Needelman said. (Houston Chronicle)
UPDATE III: Police Dispute Attorney’s Claim That Suspects Offered Safe Haven to Girl Who Disappeared
UPDATE IV: Accused kidnapper may have more victims

Michael Auberry, a 12 year old Boy Scout from Troop 230 of Greensboro, NC was reported missing in Doughton State Park located near Stone Mountain State Park. At the time the Boy Scout went missing he was wearing pants, a shirt and a coat.
MISSING BOY’S DESCRIPTION
- White male, 12
- 5 feet 4 and 110 pounds
- Reddish-brown curly hair
- Wearing blue jeans, red jacket with reflective tape, dark blue hat
- wearing a pair of wire-rim eye glasses.
TRAPHILL, N.C. — Search teams combed mountain terrain Sunday for a 12-year-
old 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)

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)

14 year old Breanna Bird has been missing for three days in New Jersey. Its a parents worst nightmare. Thinking your child is safe and under your protection when suddenly they realize their teenager is living a duel life on the internet.
“I just don’t think she’s where she wants to be, I really don’t,” said her mother, Renee Bird.
With every passing hour, Renee and Harvey Bird’s level of fear rises. Their 14-year-old daughter Breanna vanished without a trace three days ago.
“Multiple things are running through our heads right now. From best- case scenarios to worst,” said Harvey Bird.
The Galloway township teen — whose dad is a 22-year veteran of the local police force — stayed home Saturday evening when her parents went to dinner.
When they came back, they said Breanna was gone. No one has heard from her since.
She left her cell phone behind, but nothing indicating she planned to be away for long.
“The only thing missing is her pocketbook and her coat,” said her mom. (NBC10)
Breanna Bird’s parents discovered that she had a MySpace account. On that account it indicates that she is 19.
The ninth- grader’s parents soon learned Breanna had at least three accounts on the popular Web Site MySpace.com, on which she claimed to be as old as 19.
The couple said they also discovered teen had been in contact with adult men, both online and on the phone.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Galloway Township Police at 609-652-3705.
UPDATE I: NJ Teen returned home safe
A missing South Jersey teenager returned home on Tuesday after disappearing Saturday night.
The girl’s parents had worried that she may have set up a meeting with someone she met on the Internet, and Galloway Township police were treating her disappearance as a missing person.
But the girl, the daughter of a township police officer, came home at approximately 9 p.m. It was unclear where she was or who she was with.
