UPDATE I: Police Search For Missing Miami Baby
UPDATE II: Mother Arrested After Allegedly Reporting Missing Baby Hoax
As it turns out not only was 6 month old Riley Burchness never missing, he never existed. McCormic was arrested Friday morning on charges of giving false information to police officers.
A woman named Megan McCormic told police that a baby sitter never returned her 6-month-old on Dec. 23 from his home at the 5000 block of Northwest 7th Street in Miami.
Police canceled the search for the baby, whom the mother said was named Riley Buchness.
“Every question was just another lie covering up another lie until she just couldn’t hold it anymore,” Detective Freddy Ponze of the Miami Police Department said.
Police said on Friday that McCormic was lying and used the fake existence of the baby, with photographs she took from the Internet, to lure a former boyfriend, John Buchness, from Boston, who had traveled to Miami to meet his supposed son. McCormic fooled her former boyfriend into thinking she gave birth to his son, police said.

Biela was arrested at the Stepping Stones Children’s Center, where officials said he was dropping off his son. Reno police took a DNA sample from the suspect and said it would take 12 hours to process.
Brianna Denison
Police spokesman Steve Frady issued a one-sentence news release announcing a news conference at 10:30 a.m. today. He would not say whether the suspect was arrested in Reno or elsewhere.
19 year old Brianna Denison disappeared January 20, 2008 and whose body was later found in a field in South Reno on February 15, 2008. At the time of the recovery police stated they had found DNA evidence at the scene of the crime that they say links the suspect to other sexual assaults near the UNR campus.
Police said they recovered DNA evidence at the scene that would link a suspect to the crime. The DNA samples also linked Denison’s killer to three other sexually related attacks on women at or near UNR from October to December 2007.
Could police have finally found a serial rapist that has been connected to at least 3 reported assualts in the Reno area?

30 year old Jennifer Cornell, a wife and mother of three, has been missing since Thursday, October 30, 2008 in Hilman, TN in Overton county.
Jennifer Cornell Description:
- Age 30
- white female
- five feet and four inches tall
- about 135 pounds
- brown hair.
Cornell’s car was found abandoned Thursday morning and still running on the street approximately 100 yards from her home. Searchers and volunteers are presently looking for Jennifer Cornell Standing Stone State Park.
The woman’s abandoned car was found Thursday morning still running on a street 100 yards from her home. Her purse was still inside her vehicle when police arrived.
Police said there were no obvious signs of foul play but are looking for a body at the park, which covers nearly 11,000 acres.
“Jennifer’s a loving mother and a loving wife,” said family spokesman Michael South. “We just want to return her as quickly as possible.”
A couple of months ago, Cornell proved that Hancock is the father of her 17-year-old daughter, and she began asking him for child support.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Overton County Sheriff’s Department at (931) 823-5635.
UPDATE I: Ex-Boyfriend Jason Hancock was arrested Friday in Clay County
Jason Hancock was arrested Friday in Clay County. He was charged with aggravated kidnapping. He is being held without bond pending hearing next week.
Authorities believe Hancock dated Cornell about 16 years ago.
Man charged with kidnapping missing woman
34 year old Jason Hancock, the ex-boyfriend of missing Jennifer Cornell has been arrested and charged with aggravated kidnapping. At least for now. The warrant against Jason Hancock alleges he committed the crime of aggravated kidnapping by “falsely imprisoning” Jennifer Cornell with the intent “to inflict serious bodily injuries while in the possession of a deadly weapon.” At issue appears to be back child support as investigators say that Cornell had named Hancock as the father of her 17-year-old daughter and may have been seeking back pay for child support.
A Clay County man was arrested Friday night and charged with kidnapping a Hilham woman who has been missing since Thursday.
Jason Hancock, 34, of the Willow Grove area of Clay County, is charged with aggravated kidnapping of Jennifer Hughes Cornell, 30, of Vaughn Lane, Hilham.
He was arrested at his home about 7:30 p.m. Friday by Clay County Sheriff’s Deputy Sgt. Randall Slayton, one of several law officers working the case.
Hancock, who is being held without bail pending a court hearing, had been questioned in the disappearance of Cornell on Thursday, but was not charged with any crime at that time.
UPDATE I: Body found in missing woman case
Overton County Sheriff W.B. Melton told the Herald-Citizen that searchers found the body on Sunday about 10 a.m. and said it was removed from the sinkhole around 2 a.m. today, Monday, and sent to Nashville for an autopsy.
He said it was the body of a woman and that the exact cause of death is still not known, though it did not appear that she had been shot. He said official identification of the body will not be confirmed until the autopsy is conducted.
UPDATE II: Autopsy Confirms Body Is Missing Mom Jennifer Cornell
Autopsy results released Tuesday confirmed the identity of a body found in a sinkhole as that of Jennifer Cornell. They also show that she died from blunt force trauma to the head.
Cornell had been missing since Oct. 30, when her car was found still running in the middle of a road 100 yards from her home in Overton County, with her purse inside.

The kidnappers, Captain Cannito said, “wanted to send a very clear message.”
“Message sent; message received,” he went on. “They’ve got the attention of an entire nation.”
On Saturday, the police called off an Amber Alert for the boy, saying that its effectiveness had run its course. They also had narrowed their search to Southern California and Nevada.
The police were also looking for Jesus Gastelum, a Mexican national in his mid-30’s. Captain Cannito would not say why he was sought. The police said Mexican authorities had been notified of the case.

21 year old Jennifer Lee Hampton from Waterloo, AL has been missing since 9:00 
pm Friday, September 19, 2008 in Knoxville, TN. Jennifer Lee Hampton was last seen by a co-worker just outside her hotel room at a Days Inn in Knoxville. Police are suspecting foul play. According to police, Hampton’s cell phone was also left in the room
A 911 call from one of Hampton’s co-workers was made Saturday after Hampton didn’t show up for work and was not in her hotel room, according to Knoxville Police spokesman Darrell DeBusk.
“Officers briefly looked into the room and thought what they saw was suspicious,” DeBusk told ABC News. “We believe that she was a victim of foul play.”
Police declined to say what evidence in the room made investigators suspicious, but Mama Blues owner Steve Barnhill told ABC News that he understood there was no forced entry into the hotel room and sheets were ripped off one of the beds.
Since her disappearance, police have searched for Hampton both in the hotel and in the surrounding area.
“Saturday night through Sunday we used a search-and-recovery team to search the immediate area. We also used tracking dogs,” DeBusk said. “Yesterday we used more than four dozen of our officers to ‘grid search’ in a wetland area that was near the hotel.”
Police have questioned family, co-workers and friends but said they did not have any suspects yet.
“We have conducted numerous interviews,” DeBusk said. “We have re-interviewed several individuals.”
Searches Continue for Missing Jennifer Lee Hampton
Police first combed the Turkey Creek wetlands near her hotel Monday. Thursday, tips pointed them toward the Cedar Bluff and Winston road areas. And today, they continued in boats on Fort Loudoun Lake, staging their command post in Carl Cowan Park.
Two dozen search and recovery members equipped with sonar and recovery dogs hit the water in five boats early Friday morning and searched 14 miles of river front. But all they found was more water. Despite a search that continually comes up empty handed, officials haven’t given up hope.
“We feel confident that we’re going to be able to break this case but it’s taking time,” said Knoxville Police spokesperson, Darrell DeBusk.
Hampton’s family hired attorney Eddie Daniel to help them get the word out about her disappearance.

UPDATE I: Body Found in Clinch River Fitting Description of Missing Jennifer Hampton
A body has been recovered a young white woman from the Clinch River near the Anderson County-Knox County line. There was been no positive ID; however, the inittial decription fits that of missing 21 year old Jennifer Lee Hampton. The family awaits an autopsy for a positive ID.
A fisherman spotted the woman’s body around 8:30 a.m. near Edgemoor Road off Pellissippi Parkway, Knoxville Police Department Lt. Doug Stiles said.
The body appeared to be that of a white female, Stiles said. He wouldn’t comment on whether the body showed signs of foul play. It was taken to the University of Tennessee forensics center for autopsy and identification.
“We’re waiting on the results of the autopsy,” Stiles said.
UPDATE II: Body identified as missing 21 year old Jennifer Lee Hampton
Medical examiners made the positive identification on 21-year-old Jennifer Lee Hampton within an hour after her medical records from Florence arrived in Knoxville.
“The records arrived late this afternoon and it did not take long for the medical examiner to make the determination,” said Knoxville police spokesman Darrell DeBusk.

Nadia Bouteldjan went missing 11 years ago in May 1997 when she was nine years old. It was suspected that her Algerian father had kidnapped her and fled with her abroad. Nada Bouteldjan and her father were spotted in Britain in 1997 but after that all trace of them disappeared. Nadia Bouteldjan has been found at the age of 20; however, she has refused to disclose what happened to her.
Nadia Bouteldja
In 2006, after Bouteldjan turned 18, she contacted her mother and began what would become a two-year correspondence by e-mail. She finally agreed to meet her mother, together with police, in Luxembourg in July.
However, the young woman did not want to tell police about her disappearance, her whereabouts for the past 11 years, nor where she lives now or what had happened to her over the years.
“She did not want to tell us what had happened,” Kaski said, adding that Bouteldjan behaved suspiciously towards authorities.
