Police have located the mini van of Tammy Gardner and two victims were found inside murdered. They had mysteriously disappeared from a bar where Gardner reportedly had words with an unidentified ex-boyfriend.
Police in Delaware had been searching for the minivan for days. They hoped it would lead them to a missing man and woman. Apparently, it has.
The vehicle, a 2000 Ford Windstar, was found on a remote path near a man-made hill at a park that is under construction.
That’s when police converged on the scene, but investigators don’t know how long the vehicle had been there or what happened to the man and woman inside.
An autopsy will confirm the identities, but police know the van belongs to 40-year-old Tammy Gardner, who has been missing since last Sunday, along with her companion 41-year-old Gabe Gabrielli.
Both mysteriously disappeared after being last seen at a bar where Gardner reportedly had words with an unidentified ex-boyfriend.

Walter White, a registered sex offender, was criminally charged today by Davis 
County prosecutors for his role in the death of Samantha Mikesell. Walter White and Samantha Mikesell struck up a friendship in 2005, when she met him through White’s son. White is a registered sex offender since his convicted in 1996 of lewdness involving a child.
Walter White was charged in Farmington’s 2nd District Court with child abuse, a second-degree felony; obstruction of justice, desecration of a body, unlawful sex with a minor and unlawful sex with a 16-year-old, all third-degree felonies. It is in connection with the death of Samantha Mikesell, whose body was found Thursday in Mueller Park Canyon. (The Desert News)
It appears that through the questioning of friends and acquaintances, the police believe that White and Mikesell were more than “just friends“ as Walter White had suggested.
In another bizarre development in this case, prosecutors charged White’s landlord, Deborah Jule, with burglary, a second-degree felony and obstruction of justice, a third-degree felony.
After Bountiful police searched White’s apartment, Davis County 
prosecutors said Deborah Jule broke in through a window and stole a pair of cameras in the apartment.
“A witness indicates there were photos of the girl on the camera,” said deputy Davis County Attorney Steve Major. “She refused to turn over that camera to us and that’s why obstruction of justice.”
The cause of death has yet to be determined; however, a medical examiner stated there were no signs of trauma, and toxicology reports are pending.
She was found in oak brush wearing a bra and jeans but no shirt.
White has told police the pair went up the canyon Sunday night, drank liquor and took his antidepressant medication, but he has claimed he doesn’t remember anything between walking up the canyon and waking up in the lap of a dead Mikesell.
Pickett said White is being cooperative, but his version of events might not be accurate. Meanwhile, police on Friday were seeking a warrant to search White’s computer to see if he used it to speak with Mikesell and to to entice underage girls.
“What we found out so far is he has at least tried and maybe has picked up other 14- and 15-year-old girls,” Pickett said.

The body of missing 16 year old Samantha Mikesell was found in Meuller Park, a 
wooded area in the Bountiful foothills in Utah. Police were lead police to the area of Samantha’s body search where dogs located her. She had been missing since Sunday.
Police have found the body of a missing teenager while acting on information from her suspected abductor.
Police first believed the girl may have run away until information from their investigation led them to a man that may have been with her when she disappeared.

Body of missing teen found
BOUNTIFUL — Police found the body of a missing 16-year-old girl today in Mueller Park Canyon. A convicted sex offender who has been living in Woods Cross is being questioned about any role he may have played in her death.
Search dogs discovered the body of Samantha Mikesell in some brush and undergrowth near the backyard of a home on Wood Hollow Drive. Police said they found empty pill bottles nearby.
Officers on Thursday were questioning Walter White, 38, who admitted that he had been with Mikesell since Sunday. Bountiful police said White admitted to picking up Mikesell on Sunday at Dee’s Restaurant in Bountiful, where she worked, and taking her to the canyon.(Desert News)
It was originally though that the two had met on the internet; however, later determined that Samantha had met her assailant through the man’s son. What were the odds that Samantha Mikesell’s alleged killer was a previous sex offender?
The unnamed man is a registered sex offender with the State of Utah. In 1996 he was convicted of lewdness involving a child, a class B misdemeanor. He has not been charged with a crime involving Mikesell.
(WCBS-TV)
Police said Mikesell met White through his son, and the two were friends. Officers seized a mattress and a computer from White’s apartment on Thursday. However, police said there was no evidence of a sexual relationship between White and Mikesell.
Cardall said Mikesell’s family may have recently learned of her friendship with White and disapproved. (Desert News)
Walter Andrew White is just another example of the system giving sex offenders ever chance in the world so that they can ultimately kill. What in the hell is wrong with out legal system that provides opportunity after opportunity for sex offenders to commit crimes until they finally kill? Only then do we take it seriously. What purpose would a 38 year old registered sex offender and a 16 year old girl need to have a relationship?
Bountiful Detective Paul Cardell noticed White, who was convicted in 1996 of lewdness involving a child, had scratches on his arms and face, and he admitted picking up Mikesell Sunday from her job at a Dee’s Restaurant in Bountiful.
At that point police took him to the station for questioning and searched his home and car, confiscating his computer and a mattress, Lt. S.A. Gray said.
White told detectives he had been with the Viewmont High School student in the foothills east of Bountiful but does not remember anything between the time he was with her and the time he woke up in the Lakeview Hospital.
Officers said Davis County sheriff’s deputies found him disoriented in the foothills earlier this week and had him taken to the hospital.
Police said others have told them the pair went into the canyon intending to commit suicide.
White met the teen through his son or stepson, police said, and they would talk on the Internet.
(Salt Lake Tribune)
UPDATE: Walter White Had Past Says Relative
Walter White’s family and estranged wife knew that he was seeing a 16–17 year old girl, obsessed over her and was a registered sex offender. All this and they told no one? The family urged him to stop seeing Samantha. Did they warn her family? Either the answer is no or if they did, then Samantha’s family knew their 17 year old daughter was associating with a sex offender. The latter I find hard to believe.
Walter White’s family and his estranged wife say he met Samantha Mikesell about a year ago and the two saw each other often.
White’s family told us they met through one of White’s sons. Several family members told us it was a friendship that broke up Walter White’s marriage. Another family member told us it was more than a friendship and seemed a lot like obsession.
Walter White and Samantha Mikesell met a year ago. Some family members say they were just friends and never alone, others say it was more than that. All agreed it was not healthy, and both had a history of suicide attempts.
White’s sister-in-law says the relationship was obsessive; they talked about being in love. She says he admitted he could not leave young girls alone.
Sister-in-Law: “Walter has a horrible, sexual abuse, um past, where he’s been in trouble with the law.”
The family urged him to stop seeing the teen. They tried to stay in touch and make sure he was getting counseling and taking his medicine.

There is sad news to report in the case of missing teen, Jamie Lynn Drake . With the
help of Kevin Wayne Newland, who is in custody in connection with Jamie’s disappearance, he informed police where to find her body. Another teens life ends so tragically early, far before her time.
A body believed to be a missing 19-year-old woman has been located with the help of a man arrested in her disappearance, sheriff’s deputies said today.
Deputies from Spokane and Stevens counties were told by Kevin Wayne Newland, 20, to look beneath the floorboards of a cabin near the town of Addy, the sheriff’s offices said in a press release.
Newland was returned to Spokane on Thursday and under interrogation he directed deputies to the cabin, which is reportedly owned by his mother, the press release said.

Missing woman’s remains found in Stevens County
Newland to be charged with Jamie Drake’s murder
SPOKANE — Detectives have located a body in Addy, Washington that is believed to be the remains of 19-year-old Jamie Lynn Drake, who has been missing for a week and the man who was found with her car earlier in the week will be charged with her murder.
Spokane County detectives were led to a cabin in Addy by Kevin Newland, the 20-year-old man who was arrested in Maple Valley earlier this week with Drake’s 1993 Ford Mustang.
Credit card receipts show he allegedly first headed north to Deer Park, Colville and Kettle Falls on a route that took him right through the area where the victim’s body was discovered.
(KXLY)
Jamie Lynn Drake’s friends gathered to mourn the loss of their friend.
Jamie Drake’s friends gathered Friday afternoon at Mead Alternative High School. While it’s not unusual for these girls to get together, the circumstances for their meeting Friday – to mourn the loss of a close friend – was something they never planned for.
Jordan Sheffield, Jamie’s best friend since the 3rd grade, is at a stage of shock where past and present tenses blur together. She was Jamie’s roommate and her ex-boyfriend Kevin Newland is the one accused of killing her.
“I love the girl … she’s a great person and I’m sorry everything happened,” she said.
Statement from Jamie Drake’s family
This morning we met with the representatives of the Spokane County Sheriff’s Department. They advised us of the investigation to date and that they would be executing a search warrant in rural Stevens County where they believe they will find a body. While one always wants to remain optimistic, there seems little reason to be at this point.
Jamie is and always will be very special to all of us. She represents all that is good in life with her smile, sparkling eyes, quick laugh and spirit for life. She is a wonderful daughter, sister, aunt, granddaughter, niece and cousin.
