Today, the sad news was learned that a body was recovered from the Cumberland River in Clarksville, TN may be that of missing Cpl. Jessiah Jameson. Police did not confirm the identity; however, the body was taken to Fort Campbell for an autopsy.
From reports the body does match the description of Jameson. From all accounts it is most likely Jessiah Jameson. Jameson had been missing since he was last seen on November 16 at the Kickers Country Club. May he rest in peace. God bless his family and his wife, Erin Jameson, as they deal with their grief.
Police would not confirm the identity of the body, but rescue workers at the scene referred inquiries to Fort Campbell’s Criminal Investigation Division. Clarksville Police, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department and Fort Campbell are all working on the case.
The body was taken to Fort Campbell for an autopsy to be conducted Saturday morning.
“I think there were some identifying characteristics or marks or tattoos on the body, and so they could have made a preliminary ID at the scene, but to be absolutely safe and sure the body was taken to Fort Campbell,” Ted Denny with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department said. (News Channel 5)

“Michelle Young is my daughter; we are shaken and heartbroken at the tragic

“I’m asking for anyone who has seen or heard anything, as trivial as you might think it is, anything, to please come forward, and help find the person who murdered our daughter. I also want to thank or take the opportunity to thank everyone who has given their love and support to us during this horrible time…I have great faith in the police that they will help find the person who is responsible for taking our Michelle away from us. I love her, I love my Michelle and she’s gone.” (NBC 17)
Hear the mother’s emotional comments here. If anyone has any formation, no matter how rival you think it is, please come forward to bring justice for this family.
To date there have been no arrests made; however, police believe that the murder of Michelle Young was no random crime or act of violence. There was no sign of forced entry at the home.

The body of Michelle M. Young, 29, was found in her home outside of Raleigh, NC dead. 
Young was formerly a cheerleader, Michelle Fisher, at Sayville High School in Long Island. Michelle Young was four months pregnant. Cassidy, her 2 year old daughter was by her side when Michelle’s body was found unaware that her mother was dead.
The Wake County sheriff’s office is treating the incident as a homicide and authorities have recently begun speaking with Jason Young, the husband, who was away on a business trip the day her body was found, according to the Raleigh News & Observer.
“It was a violent death,” Phyllis Stephens, a spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office told the newspaper. The reported cause of death was blunt force trauma. (News Day)
Anyone with any information, please call Wake County Sheriff’s Office at 919-856-6800.
Slain Mother Laid To Rest; Case Draws National Attention
Family members and friends Thursday gathered for the funeral of a young mother who was found dead in her Raleigh home.
Flowers draped the casket and the song “Isn’t She Lovely” played during the service. But friends of Michelle Young said it did not do their friend justice. (WRAL)
(Jason & Michelle Young)
It is a mystery as to who murdered Michelle Young in her home. Investigators search the crime scene and interview witnesses. Authorities think Young was murdered sometime between midnight to about 6:00 AM Friday morning.
“It’s a mystery. That is what’s so gripping about it,” Van Susteren told WRAL 
Thursday evening. “People are supposed to be safe in their homes, but they’re not, as demonstrated by this woman.”
Investigators said Young had been at home with friends until about 10:30 p.m. the night before her body was found. Her husband, Jason Young, told authorities he was out of town on business when his sister-in-law, Meredith Fisher, found his wife’s body.
Fisher told authorities she had received a call from Jason Young asking her to go to his house to pick up something. Authorities said it was a fax.
Slain Woman’s Husband Comes Under Scrutiny
Jason Young, 32, was responding to a court order that allows authorities to take physical evidence from someone close to a criminal case. He arrived with attorney Roger W. Smith Jr. at the City County Bureau of Identification at the Wake County Public Safety Center.
Young’s wife, Michelle Young, 29, died last week from blunt force trauma, according to preliminary autopsy reports. She was also about 20 weeks pregnant with her second child at the time.
Under law, the basis for the non-testimonial order is when “there are reasonable grounds to suspect the person named or described in the affidavit committed the offense.” Detectives can collect blood samples and DNA samples as well as fingerprints, Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby said.

Kimberlee Ramsey, 15, and Cody Birdwell, 17, Missing in Galveston, TX have been missing
for 10 days. What makes this case even more intriguing is that a third teen also went missing, 15 year old Terressa Vanegas. Vanegas was found dead in a field last week. Apparently she was killed after leaving a Halloween party. Terressa Vabegas and Kimberlee Ramsey are best friends.
Texas EquuSearch has been volunteering in the efforts to search for the missing teens. Texas EquuSearch is assisting Terressa Vanegas’ family with funeral arrangements and support during this difficult time.
The search will continue with dogs and more Equusearch volunteers. There is no real evidence to suggest the teens are in the area that is being searched, but there is a lot of concern, given what happened there only last week.
Just a few yards from a football field, a search is underway for two teens who haven’t been seen by their families for 10 days. The search was occurring on the same day funeral services were being held for Terressa Vanegas, 15. Her body was found last week near the same field.
Vanegas had apparently been killed Halloween night after leaving a party. Vanegas and Kimberlee Ramsey, the missing girl, were best friends. Their friends are now frightened by the connection.
Ramsey, 15, has run away from home before. Last month she returned from a camp in Utah for problem adolescents. She disappeared from her Bacliff home two days before Vanegas went missing.
“We think she’s still around our area somewhere,” said Rodney Ramsey, Kimberlee’s father. (ABC – KTRK)
Description of Kimberlee Ramsey:
- 5 feet, 8 inches tall
- about 155 pounds
- green eyes
- brown hair with blond highlights
- She was last seen wearing jeans, a blue football jersey and black house shoes.
If anyone has any information please call Texas EquuSearch at 281–309–9500 or the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office at 409–766–2322.

What the hell is going on in this country? Since when do we parole convicted child murders? 
What the hell is the justice and parole departments thinking? What is the end result? Another murder!!!
Indiana State Police confirmed that the body of 16 year old Stephanie Faye Wagner was found Wednesday night after she had disappeared on Tuesday night after leaving work.
Danny R. Rouse, a 51-year-old convicted child murderer, has confessed to the murder and brought police to the body of missing 16 year old Stephanie Wagner. Stephanie Wagner had been missing and an AMBER ALERT had been issued regarding her possible abduction. The AMBER ALERT was canceled after a co -worker told police where they could find her body.
Investigators found the body of Stephanie Wagner in a northwestern Indiana field Wednesday night after the co-worker, Danny R. Rouse, told them where to look and confessed to killing her, police said.
Prosecutor Kevin Enyeart said he expected to charge Rouse with murder later Thursday. The court hearing was to continue Friday.
Rouse and Wagner left the Indian Head Restaurant, where they both worked, at about 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, police said. Her mother reported her missing about six hours later.
Maybe some one would like to explain to this distraught family and the community how this
scum bag was walking the streets? Danny Rouse is a convicted child killer. He spent 26 years in prison for stabbing a 5 year old boy to death. So what’s he do after he is paroled? Stabs a teenager to death. The Kansas Parole board she be found guilt of aiding in the murder of Stephanie Wagner.
Rouse was convicted in the 1979 murder of a 5-year-old boy and stabbing of the child’s mother. He was paroled in March after spending 26 years in a Kansas prison.
Upon his release in March, Rouse requested that he be allowed to move to Indiana. His parole supervision was then transferred to a South Bend parole office. (
WNBC4)
Someone really needs to explain why Danny Rouse was not in jail for life without parole. The taking of someone’s life means that you actually get to walk a free person? I do not think so. The Kansas Parole Board has some explaining. Seven months after this killer was paroled, he kills again. Read why this killer was in prison in the first place. He was convicted of First degree murder.
Rouse was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1979 slaying of Jason Learst at a Wichita, Kan., apartment, The Wichita Eagle reported today. Rouse also was convicted of stabbing of the boy’s mother, Kathryn Crowley.
During Rouse’s jury trial, witnesses testified that Rouse and Crowley drank beer and smoked marijuana while watching television at Crowley’s apartment. Crowley rejected a verbal sexual advance, after which he stabbed or cut her with a knife 12 times, according to court testimony.
The attack ended when Crowley collapsed and pretended to be dead. Kansas police said Rouse then went to Jason’s bedroom and cut the boy’s throat as he slept.
Rouse pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity at his trial, but a jury convicted him of first-degree murder. (

Analysts at the State Crime Lab discovered animal hairs on the clothing of murdered 17 year
old Casey Crowder, a senior at Watson Chapel High School. The prosecutors now wish to collect DNA from the pets of Kenneth Osburn, the 46 year old truck driver who is charged with capital murder and kidnapping of Casey Crowder.
Analysts at the state Crime Lab recovered animal hair resembling that of a dog and cat on Crowder’s clothing, according to an affidavit for a warrant to collect DNA from Osburn’s dogs and cats.
Prosecutor Thomas Deen says an out-of-state lab will need to analyze the animals’ DNA because the Arkansas crime lab does not perform mitochondrial DNA testing on animal hairs. (KATV)
And in typical defense attorney fashion, Osburn’s attorney, Bing Colvin said, “investigators ‘mentally tortured’ Osburn to obtain a confession of Crowder’s murder.” Cry us a river … please. According to Court documents there was an affidavit that included an alleged confession.
Kenneth Osburn was arrested for the death of Casey Crowder September 28th. According to court papers Osburn “admitted that he caused the death of Casey Crowder. He admitted that he took Casey to 43 Canal in his Chevrolet truck where her body was found.”
Crowder’s body was discovered by National Guard troops on September 2 in a wooded area in Desha County. She ran out of gasoline six days earlier and disappeared while walking along Highway 65.
Osburn’s attorney, who declined an interview, says the alleged confession came after his client was questioned for 23 hours and repeatedly denied council.
Documents go on to say agents noticed “numerous scratches on both arms and one small cut on one of his arms”. (KATV)

There has been a big break in the murder investigation of Michelle Gardner-Quinn. We have 
a match. A DNA sample taken from the pants of the prime suspect, Brian Rooney, in the disappearance and murder of Michelle Gardner-Quinn has been found to be hers.
The blood was found on the blue jeans of Brian L. Rooney, 36, giving police at least one piece of physical evidence allegedly linking the man they call their prime suspect to the Oct. 7 disappearance of Gardner-Quinn.
Rooney, who has denied any involvement in the woman’s disappearance but is being held on unrelated sex charges, was ordered by Vermont District Court Judge Michael Kupersmith to submit to DNA testing during a closed-door hearing Thursday, according to David Sleigh, his court-appointed lawyer.
It appears that the court appointed attorney for Brian Rooney let the cat out of the bag even though the court hearing was supposed to be closed. This could be the beginning of the end for Brian Rooney and the piece needed to prove who was responsible for the murder of Michelle Gardner-Quinn.
That was revealed by David Sleigh, a court appointed lawyer for Mr. Rooney in an interview with the Associated Press. He said the DNA evidence was revealed at a hearing, a hearing that Sleigh thought was open, when it was actually closed. (WCAX)
DNA match even though mums the word because of a sealed affidavit.
In an affidavit, prosecutors said a Vermont State Police analysis showed the DNA samples to match, according to Sleigh.
Deputy Chittenden County State’s Attorney Justin Jiron would not confirm or deny the DNA match when asked Thursday, saying the affidavit was under seal. “I’m not allowed to talk about the results,” Jiron said.
Neither Police Chief Thomas Tremblay nor Lt. Kathleen Stubbing would confirm it, either.
District Court refused to release the affidavit, saying it was under seal.
A search of the suspects home on Monday revealed the following.
In a Monday search of Rooney’s parents’ home in Richmond, police found photographs and videotapes of naked women, one of which was labeled with the girlfriend’s name and showed a woman lying face down on a bed, making no movements as she was sexually assaulted.
The latest charges could put Rooney away for life. (Burlington Free Press)
From the material found during searches and the past allegations against Brian Rooney, one wonders what the police in Vermont were thinking by having this predator walk the streets. Its okay to press charges against Brian Rooney now, but not in the past?

Brian Rooney, a suspect in the disappearance and murder of UVM senior Michelle Gargner-Quinn will be in court today for a separate sex offense. This sexual offense charge dates back to 1998 and revolves around a sexual assault on a minor. One question that immediately comes to the forefront is why only now is Brian Rooney being arraigned on the 1998 sex offense charge against a minor? Looking back on events, maybe our society might have been a little more safer if Brian Rooney had either been in jail or had to have registered as a sex offender.
(Suspect: Brian Rooney)
Authorities may want to explain why Brian Rooney was allowed to walk among us when he was considered a danger. They just forgot about him. How many times will these things happen when a sex offender is only deemed a danger after they kill? Who does not think that the “sexual assault on, and lewd and lascivious conduct with, a minor” was just not a precursor of offenses to come?
Thirty-six-year-old Brian Rooney was the last person seen with 21-year-old Michelle Gardner-Quinn before she disappeared on October seventh. Surveillance camera footage from a jewelry store shows them walking down a Burlington street. Gardner-Quinn was found dead in a ravine on October 13th.
Rooney is scheduled to be arraigned in St. Johnsbury on charges of sexual assault on a minor. He also is charged with lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor. (Fox 21)
Brian Rooney, 36, will be arraigned today from an incident from Essex County, VT where he was charged with a sexual assault on, and lewd and lascivious conduct with, a minor.
Both charges, stemming from a 1988 incident in Essex County, were brought as a result of information that came to light as cops probed him about Michelle Gardner-Quinn’s disappearance. (NY Post)
The police continue to pursue leads that point to Brian Rooney being the primary suspect in the murder of Michelle Gardner-Quinn. Rooney was the last person seen with Michelle the last night she was seen alive. Garner-Quinn also used Rooney’s cell phone the night she disappeared.
Burlington Police continue to build a case against Brian Rooney in the homicide investigation of 21-year old Michelle Gardner Quinn. A call that the victim made on Rooney’s cell phone led police to the 36-year old construction worker. Rooney was the last person seen with Gardner-Quinn before she disappeared early Saturday morning a week ago. When hikers discovered her body at Huntington Gorge yesterday, police made the arrest, and as Burlington police chief Tom Tremblay phrased it, now it’s as if a whole new investigation has started. Police on Saturday said they are in no position to release any information of significance. They still need the public’s help. (WCAX)
Brian Rooney has been a “person of interest” and suspect from the outset, closely being watched by authorities.
… but investigators still need to know more about the hours right after he was caught on a security camera, walking up Main Street with the victim shortly after 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning. “Our investigation continues to focus on Brian Rooney’s actions and whereabouts during the time period from Saturday, October 7th at 2:30 a.m. to mid-morning Monday, October 9th. We are also interested in information regarding the red Jeep Grand Cherokee,” said Stubbing.
Police impounded the Jeep they say Rooney drove, but they say there is no evidence that would indicate the victim was ever in it. Still, police want to know where the vehicle was during the week. They also want to know where Rooney was.
