18 years later … Jaycee Lee Dugard is found alive and safe. In a missing persons case of don’t ever give up hope, 29 year old Jaycee Lee Dugard has been reunited with her family.
Sadly, Jaycee Lee Dugard had been held as a sex slave by Phillip Garrido, a previously convicted sex offender and kept Dugard in the back yard of his property. According to Fox40 News, Dugard bore several children for sex offender Phillip Garrido. The El Dorado County Sheriff’s Department stated that the two children were kept in “complete isolation” and had not been to school or a doctor. (Video)
Authorities tell FOX40 News that Dugard bore several children for sex offender Phillip Garrido, who kept her in a backyard device — possibly a shed — as a sex slave for both Garrido and his wife, Nancy Garrido.
Both Phillip and Nancy Garrido were arrested as suspects in the kidnapping case. Authorities say Nancy Garrido was with Phillip Garrido at the time of the abduction and matches the suspect’s description obtained by eyewitnesses in 1991. The Garrido’s Antioch home was searched for evidence Thursday morning.
Authorities with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Division of Adult Parolee Operations report a parolee agent helped crack the 18-year-old kidnapping case while following up on a tip that Garrido was seen with two small children on the campus of UC Berkeley. The diligent questioning of the parolee officer led Garrido to reveal the kidnapping of Dugard. Further questioning revealed Dugard and Garrido were the parents of the two children.

UPDATE III: Boise Police Say that Robert Manwill May be the Victim of a Tragic Event
For the first time, Boise Police admit missing 8-year-old boy Robert Manwill’s disappearance is suspicious. At a press conference Friday afternoon, Deputy Chief Jim Kerns revealed police found evidence to indicate Robert may be injured or the victim of a tragic event. Police would not say what evidence they found.
Also Friday, a crime scene van was seen at the Ada County Landfill. A portion of the landfill was marked off with crime scene tape. Boise Police will not confirm or deny if the crime scene van is related to the search for Robert Manwill.
UPDATE IV: Landfill Searched as Thousands Look for Missing Idaho Boy (8/1/09)
Officers roped off an area of the Hidden Hollow Landfill to weed through garbage dumped the day after Robert vanished, the Idaho Statesman said.

UPDATE VI: Body Found in Canal Cannot be confirmed as eight year old Robert Manwill
Sadly a body matching the description of 8 year old Robert Manwill has been found in a canal. However, the police cannot positively ID the body without an autopsy. According to reports, the body matches the size and age of Robert Manwill.
The Ada County Sheriff’s Office has found the body of a young male in the New York Canal in Boise. It was found near Deer Flat Road and South Cloverdale. That canal flows near where eight-year old Robert Manwill went missing ten days ago.
However, the body cannot be identified as Robert. Until an autopsy is performed Tuesday, we will not know the identity of the body. Police have indicated at Monday afternoon’s press conference that the description of the body is similar to that of Robert.
UPDATE VII: Body of Missing Robert Manwill Found in Canal ID’d
UPDATE VIII: Police are saying that the death of 8 year old Robert Manwill was no accident

10 year old Lindsey J. Baum has been missing since Friday night, June 26, 2009 at approximately 9:15 pm in McCleary, WA. Lindsey J. Baum was last seen Friday night walking home on Maple Street from a friend’s house. The distance was only about four blocks, she never arrived home. Lindsey has no history of running away.
Lindsey J. Baum Description:
- 4-foot 9-inches tall
- 80 pounds
- brown hair
- brown eyes
- She was last seen wearing a grey pullover hoodie with blue jeans and black shoes.
- McCleary Police say she doesn’t have a history of running away, and since there are fewer than 2,000 people in town, someone would recognize her if she were walking the streets.
If anyone has any information regarding the whereabouts of Lindsey, please call Grays Harbor E911 Center at 360-533-8765 or McCleary Police at 360-495-3107
UPDATE I: Search for Missing Lindsey Baum enters Second Day
As the search for a missing 10-year-old girl stretched into its second day in this small mill town, police and family are beginning to fear she may have been kidnapped.
10 year old Lindsey Baum Missing
Lindsey J. Baum was last seen between 9 and 10 p.m. Friday when she left her friend’s home on Maple Street, where she had been visiting, said Dave Pimentel of the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office.
The police are hesitant to refer to the missing girl’s disappearance a case of foul play; however, the more time goes by, the greater the possibility.
The search was resumed Sunday at 6 a.m., but so far with the same futile result as the day before.
Police are hesitant to call the girl’s disappearance a case of foul play just yet, but the girl’s family fears the worst.
“I’ve tried to keep the thought of somebody grabbing her out of my mind,” says her mother, Melissa Baum.
Search on for missing McCleary girl
Melissa Baum said Lindsey wasn’t angry Friday night, and left without money, a change of clothes or her cellphone. Police have searched for the girl in the homes of her friends, in case she had been “hiding out.”
“She wouldn’t have run away,” Baum said, her voice hoarse. “If she had been hiding she would have come out by now. She can’t hide that long, she loves to talk.”
National Center of Missing & Exploited Children: Lindsey J. Baum
UPDATE II: FBI Joins the Search for Missing Lindsey Baum
The FBI has now joined the investigation and search for missing 10 yea old Lindsey Baum. At this point between the short walk between her home and her friends house and the fact that the community was so small, it is hard to believe that Lindsey did not know her abductor.
The FBI has joined the search for a 10-year-old girl who vanished Friday while walking home from a friend’s house in this small mill town.
Officials said the federal crime-busting bureau was brought in because of its expertise and experience in solving missing children cases. The FBI also will be bringing in more law enforcement personnel to assist.
As the search for 10-year-old Lindsey J. Baum stretched into its second day Sunday, police and family - along with the whole town - are baffled and concerned at the girl’s disappearance in a town where everyone knows their neighbors.
UPDATE III: CANS Alert Issued for 10 Year Old Washington Girl

Sadly, although not unexpected authorities have confirmed that the body found buried beneath a layer of concrete along the River Raisin in Raisinville Township last Thursday by a fisherman was that of 5 year old missing Nevaeh Buchanan.
Authorities say a girl’s body found buried along a Michigan river has been confirmed as that of 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanan, missing since last month.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s office said in a statement Tuesday that DNA testing positively identified her. An autopsy and further tests were being conducted to determine what caused her death and when.
DNA test makes a positive ID: It’s Nevaeh’s body
DNA testing results concluded that Nevaeh indeed was found by fishermen Thursday beneath a layer of concrete along the River Raisin in Raisinville Township, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said this afternoon.
Investigators did not release a cause of death, nor is anyone in custody. The girl disappeared May 24 from her apartment complex.
Though Sheriff Tilman Crutchfield said Friday that the girl found near the river likely was Nevaeh, family members held out hope the girl might still be alive.

64 year old pedophile Raymond Hewlett has admitted to police that he saw 3 year old Madeleine McCann twice in Praia Da Luz, Portugal, before she vanished in April 2007. This is a much different story than the convicted pedophile had told police in the past when interviewed by police. Pedophile Raymond Hewlett says he saw Maddie McCann, but was not close.
Does pedophile Raymond Hewlett Really Know what happened to Maddie?
Paedophile Raymond Hewlett has allegedly said he saw Madeleine McCann twice before she vanished.
The Briton, 62, has previously insisted he was miles from Praia da Luz in the Portuguese Algarve when the three-year-old went missing in May 2007.
But yesterday he reportedly implied he had been close enough to see Maddie’s distinctive flaw in her right eye.
However, it appears that in order for this previously convicted pedophile to come clean on where he was the night that Maddie McCann went missing, he wants to be paid.
Kate and Gerry McCann’s spokesman yesterday said it was now ‘imperative’ cancer-stricken Hewlett is interviewed before he dies.
But he has told private detectives employed by the couple he will only reveal where he was the night Maddie vanished if they pay him thousands of pounds. The request has been refused.
Sadly, this sick, twisted poor excuse for a human being is playing games with the parents of Maddie McCann. With probably only weeks to live as Raymond Hewlett is dying of throat cancer, it appears that he will be evil to the very end.
But a McCann family friend added: ‘It is impossible to know whether to believe anything Hewlett says.’
Friends of the McCanns say they are deeply suspicious of his motives after it was revealed that Hewlett has been trying to cash in on the tragedy by demanding money for answers.
A source close to the couple, who is refusing to pay up, said: ‘He is playing a very dangerous game.
‘He may think he is about to land the jackpot but if he is putting it about that he saw Madeleine, he might find some big policemen banging on his door instead.’
Until the truth of the alleged claims can be ascertained, the investigators are more anxious than ever to interview Hewlett.

A 12 year old American boy is missing in Switzerland. The American boy went missing near the Truemmelbach waterfall, which drains glacier waters from the country’s famous Eiger, Monk and Jungfrau mountains. The boy disappeared late Friday during a hike with his family at the waterfall near Lauterbrunnen.
Bernese cantonal (state) police spokeswoman Ursula Stauffer said the boy disappeared late Friday during a hike with his family at the waterfall near Lauterbrunnen, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) southeast of the capital, Bern.
Police posted photos of the boy on a missing persons Web site — http://bit.ly/uTCDG — but declined to identify him by name because of Swiss privacy rules.
Police and rescuers were searching the gorge, which has a number of waterfalls.
She said police and rescuers were searching the gorge, which has a number of waterfalls, but had not been able to enter the water because of strong currents caused by glacial meltwater. Police said other hikers claimed to have seen a person in the rapids around the time of the boy’s disappearance.
The Truemmelbach Falls are part of the UNESCO world heritage site for the massive Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn glaciers. The falls are extremely narrow and dark, flowing inside the rock, and are reached by an elevator inside the mountain.
UPDATE I: According to a police statement other hikers claimed to have seen a person in the rapids around the time of his disappearance
UPDATE II: Greenwood, Ind., family confirms boy missing
The family of a Greenwood boy is confirming he’s missing at a waterfall in Switzerland.
The family of Noah Kriese has released a statement saying the 12-year-old disappeared Friday while on a hike at Truemmelbach Falls, about 30 miles southeast of the Swiss capital, Bern.
UPDATE III: Swiss end search for US boy; shoe found
Swiss police said Monday they had broken off the search for a 12-year-old American boy who went missing last week near Switzerland’s popular resort of Interlaken.
A shoe found at the exit of the gorge where the Greenwood, Indiana, boy was hiking Friday with his family could belong to him, a spokeswoman for the Bernese cantonal (state) police said. Rescuers had been searching for Noah Kriese near the Truemmelbach waterfalls, where visitors can walk through a mountain to see cascades crashing from inside.
“We searched until last light Sunday, and this morning we did a final search at 6 a.m.,” Ursula Stauffer told The Associated Press. “We didn’t find him.”
She said police had ended their search. “Instead, we will be doing spot checks at key points in the gorge,” Stauffer said.
