Jennifer Hagel Smith, the widow of missing and presumed dead George Smith who went missing in July of 2005 aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship now states that he was taking prescription drugs and alcohol the night he went missing. After all this time, this now becomes Jennifer Hagel Smith’s story as she all but takes the side of the cruise lines. Hegel Smith and Royal Caribbean had reached a monetary settlement in 2006.
The widow of a Greenwich man who disappeared during their honeymoon cruise three years ago says her husband mixed alcohol with prescription drugs the night he vanished.
The widow, Jennifer Hagel Smith, says her husband’s family has refused to acknowledge the possibility that George Smith’s intoxication from alcohol and prescription drugs may have been a factor in an accidental death.
Instead, Hagel Smith accused Smith’s family or their representatives of describing a crime scene in the cabin of the ship that didn’t exist.

The charred body that was earlier reported having been found near Camp Lejeune was confirmed to ne that of missing 24 year old Army 2nd Lt. Holley Lynn Wimunc. When the human charred remains were discovered near Camp Lejeune, the Marine base where Cpl. John Patrick Wimunc was stationed, it was not difficult to put the pieces together his involvement in his terrible crime and to figure out that his arrest was imminent.
23 year old Cpl. John Patrick Wimunc has been charged with first degree murder of his estranged wife, Holly Wimunc.
Cpl. John Patrick Wimunc, 23, a Camp Lejeune Marine, was arrested Monday and charged with first-degree murder, first-degree arson and conspiracy to commit first-degree arson
Cpl. John Patrick Wimunc, 23, a Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune, was arrested around 4:30 p.m. Sunday and initially charged with arson for a fire that burned through Lt. Holley Wimunc’s Fayetteville, N.C., apartment on Thursday, the day she went missing.
Dead Army nurse’s husband charged with murder
23 year old Marine Cpl. John Wimunc has been charged with first degree murder and arson in the death of Holley Wimunc. Authorities have also charged 22 year old Marine Lance Cpl. Kyle Alden with first-degree arson, conspiracy to commit arson and accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. Both John Wimunc and Kyle Alden were arrested at Camp Lejeune.

Matthew J. Wilson, a junior at Rice University in Houston has been missing since December 15, 2007. Wilson’s car was recently found on June 10, 2008 in the 1200 block of Allston Way in Berkeley, CA.
Matthew Wilson Description:
Cathy Wilson, the mother of missing Matthew Wilson has flown to the Bay Area from Oklahoma and joined the search for her son.
His mother, Cathy Wilson, recently flew to the Bay Area from Oklahoma and joined the search for her son Saturday afternoon, according to Bridget Melson, co-founder of Trinity Search and Recovery.
“People really dig back into memory when they see her,” Melson said. ‘She looks so much like her son.”
The group will resume the search at about 2 p.m. today and plans on making stops at University of California-Berkeley as well as Bay Area Rapid Transit stations in Berkeley, San Francisco, Oakland and Walnut Creek.
Melson said there have been more than 10 reported sightings of Matt Wilson in the Bay Area, including several in Walnut Creek within the last week.
Trinity Search and Recovery has handed out fliers to businesses in the area of some of the sightings, and employees reported seeing a man who fit Matt Wilson’s description, Melson said.
Cathy Wilson walks through People’s Park in Berkeley asking people if they have seen her missing son, Matthew. His car was found abandoned in Berkeley last month.
Family web site: FindMattWilson.org
Mom comes to Bay Area to look for missing son
After the car was found on June 10, dirty and abandoned, on Allston Way in central Berkeley, a Pleasanton group that helps families search for missing loved ones got involved. The organization, called Trinity Search & Recovery, created a Web site with photos of Matthew and set up a telephone number for tips. A $25,000 reward is being offered by his mother, Rice University and Crime Stoppers of Houston.
Police in Berkeley and at Rice University have said they do not suspect foul play in Matthew’s disappearance. The book on identity theft suggests that Matthew may have considered changing his name, his mother said, but if that’s the case, it seems unlikely he would keep his flaming red hair and beard.

24 year old Holley Wimunc was reported missing Thursday morning, July 10, 2008 when she failed to show up for work at Womack Army Hospital at Ft. Bragg. Fayetteville police were dispatched to Wimunc’s apartment home on Thursday morning at the Morganton Place Apartments on Morganton Road near Bonaza Drive to find her apartment smoldering and a strong odor of gasoline. Holley Wimunc was not found at the scene and is considered a missing person.
Missing Lt. Holley Wimunc
When officers arrived on the scene it was determined that there was evidence of an arson,” Fayetteville Police Lt. David Sportsman said.
Investigators say two bedrooms were burned and a back window was broken out. Wimunc was missing, but her car was still in the parking lot.
All signs in this case point to a terrible situation. A missing 24 year old woman, a burned apartment of which the cause was arson, a messy divorce, reports of domestic violence and a retraining order in which according to documents claim that Holley Wiminc’s husband threatened her and threatened to commit suicide.
In a court filing for a protective order, Wimunc said that in May her husband had knocked her down, held a loaded gun to her head and then threatened to commit suicide, WRAL reported.
The court documents indicate that John Wimunc is a Marine stationed at Camp Lejeune, the station reported.
According to court documents, Lt. Holley Wimunc was going through a divorce with her husband, Marine Corporal John Wimunc. Holley Wimnuc previously had taken out a restraining order against him. documents report that on occasion, Corporal John Wimunc held a gun to his wife’s head and threatened to killer her.
The Fayetteville Police Department identified 24-year-old Holley Wimunc, a second lieutenant at the Womack Army Hospital at Fort Bragg, as missing and endangered Friday. A smoldering blaze was found Thursday morning at her apartment by a concerned colleague after Wimunc failed to show up for her nursing job in the military hospital’s maternity ward.
Authorities quickly ruled that the fire had been intentionally set with the help of an accelerant, Lt. David Sportsman, spokesman for the Fayetteville Police Department, told ABC News in an interview Friday. Investigators spent Thursday contacting Wimunc’s family and friends, hoping she’d intentionally taken off. Wimunc was nowhere to be found, and authorities identified her Friday so the public could possibly help in the investigation. (ABC News)
Soldier Missing After Apartment Fire
Wimunc was gone, but her car was still in the parking lot, police said. They towed the car — a white Dodge — to a site where it could be examined.
Houp said taking the car was a precautionary measure.
“We don’t want to leave any stone unturned,” he said.
Investigators with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies waited at a police command post outside the building most of the day for warrants to search the apartment. They entered the apartment about 7:15 p.m.
Another Fort Bragg soldier is under investigation, as her apartment is found destroyed by an allegedly set fire, and she is nowhere to be found.

An AMBER ALERT has been issued for a 9 year old, Lake Forest boy, Ryan Ramos in Orange County, CA. Authorities say a man, Lonnie Ramos, who allegedly shot his estranged wife and abducted their 9-year-old son may be driving a rented RV. Lonnie Ramos abducted Ryan on July 2, 2008.
Ryan Ramos, 9 year old abducted
National Center for Missing & Exploited Children: Amber Alert
Circumstances: Ryan was abducted by his father, Lonnie Ramos, on July 2, 2008. A felony warrant for Kidnapping was issued for the abductor on July 2, 2008. They may be traveling in a red Porsche with license plates 4BWU827 or a white Chevrolet Suburban with license plates 5LTC712 or a 2005 Fleetwood Providence RV with California license plates 5EGW556 similar to the one pictured above. CAUTION IS ADVISED.
Description of father Lonnie Ramos:
A man who allegedly shot his estranged wife in the face and fled with his 9-year-old son may have switched his car for a motor home, authorities said Thursday.
An Amber Alert was in effect throughout California for Lonnie Ramos, 46. He was believed to be driving a rented 39-foot purple-and-gold Fleetwood Providence motor home with the license plate number 5EGW556, the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said.
Ramos was possibly in the San Diego area and Border Patrol agents were notified in case he tried to head for Mexico, sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino said.
Amormino said Ramos was considered “armed and extremely dangerous.”
Ramos apparently jumped out from behind a car or bushes and shot his estranged wife in the face with a semiautomatic weapon about 6:30 p.m. Wednesday when she drove to his home in the Portola Hills area to pick up their son, Ryan, for a custody exchange, Amormino said. (Fox News)
Police ask that anyone who has information on the shooting and abduction of Ryan Ramos please contact the Orange County Sheriff’s Office at 714-628-7170 or dial 911
UPDATE I: Lake Forest man accused of kidnapping son and shooting estranged wife had financial and personal problems
UPDATE II: Amber Alert issued for child who could be in Utah
Ramos was seen with his son trying to buy plane tickets out of John Wayne Airport after the incident occurred. Ramos has family in Texas and Washington, D.C. Police say he may also have ties to Utah, although they haven’t specified what those ties may be.
UPDATE III: Orange County authorities expected to make the announcement at a press conference later Saturday morning.
They think Ramos may have rented a purple and gold Fleetwood Providence motor home with license plate 5EGW556.
UPDATE IV: Utah Amber Alert no longer in effect for Ryan Ramos
UPDATE V: Father (Lonnie Ramos) who took boy (Ryan Ramos) likely in Mexico, say police
The Amber Alert went out to Utah late Friday because Ramos has a girlfriend in Draper, police said. It was canceled at about 1:30 p.m. Saturday. A Wednesday sighting of the motor home in Utah was likely mistaken, Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jim Amormino said.
Police are planning to search the motor home, a 2005 Fleetwood Providence, for possible clues and then work with Mexican authorities to pursue Ramos, Amormino said.
Mexican law prevents its citizens from being extradited to the United States for death penalty charges, but Ramos is neither a Mexican citizen nor a death
UPDATE VI: Ryan Ramos Found Safe in Mexico
Ryan Romas has been found safe in a church in Juarez Mexico. His father is still a fugative.
Authorities on Sunday announced that Ryan Ramos, allegedly kidnapped by his father last week, has been found safe in Mexico.
Lonnie Ramos, the boy’s father, allegedly shot his estranged wife and then kidnapped Ryan, according to Jim Amormino of the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
Officials said that the boy will be reunited with his family shortly. His mother, Gynnae Ramos is recovering from the shooting.
Lonnie Ramos has not been found, according to authorities.
Kidnapped 9-year-old found in Mexican church
A 9-year-old boy missing from Southern California has been found at a church in Mexico, just across the border from El Paso, Texas.
Ryan Ramos was found alone but safe in Juarez Sunday afternoon and is now with U.S. officials there. He’s said to be in “excellent condition”.
UPDATE VII: Fugitive Dad Killed By Bus
A desperate five-day search for a 9-year-old boy abducted by his father in Southern California ended in Mexico, where the man died after being hit by a bus and the boy was found safe in a Mormon church building, authorities said Monday.
Ryan Ramos was found alone Sunday in a Mormon church building in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, and arrived in Orange County early Monday, where he was reunited with his family, sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino said.

52 year old Mark Ginn had been missing since April 14, 2008. He was last seen driving a 1996 bronze Jeep Grand Cherokee with license plate number 255 HEN. The FBI became involved in the case and was searching for Ginn.
WLBT has learned why the FBI is involved. Sources confirm there is an ongoing investigation concerning Ginn’s employment with BankPlus in Byram.
The probe is focused on suspicious activity at the bank. BankPlus officials would not comment. However, an official with the Byram branch earlier said that they could neither confirm nor deny any money is missing from the bank and they are cooperating with authorities.
Search Continues for Missing Byram Man
Ginn: Missing person or fugitive?
Not long after that, Ginn vanished.
Footage from a local Home Depot showed him buying a hose and duct tape, which led to initial speculation he planned to use these items to use his car to asphyxiate himself.
Authorities have since wondered if he made the purchases to trick them into thinking he committed suicide.
A week after Ginn vanished, the Hinds County Sheriff’s Department enlisted help from the FBI, which investigates embezzlement and other crimes against banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
The department also received help from the U.S. Marshals Service, which specializes in searching for fugitives.
Rumors swirled that Ginn may be on the Caribbean island of Barbados, but if authorities know where he is, they aren’t saying.
They believe Ginn is alive and have publicly ruled out foul play.
UPDATE I: Ginn Missing Person Case May Now Be Classified As Criminal Investigation
WLBT has learned a Jackson business owner may be the victim of some fraudulent loan activity by Ginn. As WLBT first reported, the FBI is investigating suspicious transactions at the bank where the 52-year-old Ginn was employed.
Sources tell us Warren Logan, the owner of this business, Graves Auto Electric on Highway 80 West, recently discovered two separate 50-thousand dollar loans on property he owns…loans he apparently did not seek.
UPDATE II: Vehicle of Mark Ginn Found Sunday with Body Inside
The 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee belonging to missing 52 year old Mark Ginn was found Sunday be two people in a rural area north of Hinds County.
After 34 days with no sign of Mark Ginn or his vehicle, the Hinds County Sheriff’s Department receives a surprising phone call. Two people found Ginn’s 1996 bronze Jeep Grand Cherokee in a heavily wooded area on private property near the intersection of Johnson Line and Cox Ferry Roads. That’s in rural Hinds County, 11 miles west of Flora. A body was inside the vehicle. Sources tell WLBT, the body was wearing the same clothes Ginn was last seen in. The Sheriff’s Department can not confirm if it is Ginn until a medical pathologist identifies the body.
The jeep was found less than 20 miles away from where Ginn was last seen driving in Clinton. He had undergone open heart surgery two weeks before his disappearance. Those close to Ginn feared it may have been a factor.
An unidentified body was also found in the vehicle. Hinds County Sheriff’s Department Captain Steve Pickett said the body is now at the State Crime Lab where a medical pathologist will make the identification.
UPDATE III: Autopsy May Determine If Body Is That Of Mark Ginn
Even though the body has not yet been positively identified, it looks like the family considers it strictly a formality. Funeral arrangements have been made for Mark Ginn after finding his vehicle with a body inside. Family members obviously feel that it is Mark Ginn.
