Its been nearly two months since the University of Maine student Siphat Chau went 
missing. Siphat Chau went missing on Christmas Break while at his parents home in Portland, ME.
Siphat Chau vanished during Christmas break, and friends plastered the city with posters of the missing man. His sister, Phuong Neang, said the family is trying to think positively, even though her brother may be dead.
Chau, an honor student at Portland High School, did not enroll for the spring semester at Orono. According to his father, Chau had money problems due to gambling on the Internet. (WLBZ2)

A convicted felon, who had been staying with the family, had recently been released 
from the Ozaukee County Jail, disappeared along with three young Oostburg girls. The man had a long criminal record. The disappearance of the three young girls, ages 6, 8 and 13 was the subject of an Amber Alert. The man has been arrested and the girls are safe.
Jail staff said the man was booked into the facility at about 10 a.m., just hours after the girls were found in Belgium and Milwaukee.
Sheboygan County sheriff’s authorities say the girls’ mother reported her daughters missing early Monday after she woke up and found they had not returned with the man.
The girls are ages 6, 8 and 13. The girls were found at about 6 a.m.
Ozaukee County authorities contacted people at a Belgium home and determined the 6- and 13-year-old girls were there.

Amber Alert leads to safe return of missing Oostburg girls
Three Oostburg girls abducted Sunday night —allegedly by their mother’s jilted ex-boyfriend — were found safe and sound this morning and reunited with their mother at the Sheboygan County Sheriff’s Department.
The abduction of the girls triggered the first-ever Amber Alert initiated by the sheriff’s department.

Five months later after Hurricane Katrina and about 2,500 people remain missing and the trail is going cold. As the evacuation of hurricane Katrina took place, 750,000 families along the Gulf Coast split up and scattered across the United States in the 
frenzied anticipation of the storm.
Thousands of people have been reunited. But as time drags on, hope is turning to fear that loved ones may never be found, or in some cases don’t want to be found or that a few may even have since died.
“Did you forget how much YOU loved your grandmother and how much SHE loved you,” an unidentified person wrote last week on one of the many Web sites set up to help Katrina victims search for the missing.
As difficult as it is to locate the many missing people, there are also reports that some of the missing take this opportunity to go missing.
“It’s a huge difficulty to try to track these people down,” Robert Johannessen, a spokesman for the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, told Reuters. 
“You have to believe that there are people who used this as an opportunity to go missing.”
The Find Family National Call Center, set up to help people search for Katrina missing, listed 2,508 people missing as of the end of January. The actual number could be smaller as some people may have found relatives without informing the center, Johannessen said, but new cases are still coming up — about 80 just in the past week.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children lists 254 children as still missing related to Katrina and Hurricane Rita that blew through the same area weeks later.

There has been many questions lately as to the goings-on of MySpace.com accounts. The latest craze of individuals, especially teens sharing far to much information has made for many terrible and exploitative situations. Such is the latest scenario out of Connecticut where “police are investigating whether as many as seven teenage girls have been sexually assaulted by men they met through the popular Web site MySpace.com.”
The girls, ages 12 to 16, are from Middletown and say they were fondled or had consensual sex with men who turned out to be older than they claimed. None of the incidents appeared to be violent, said Middletown Police Sgt. Bill McKenna.
He said it was difficult to determine the exact number of victims because some girls have been reluctant to disclose that they met their assailants online.
The social networking Web site allows users to create profiles that can include photos, personal information and even cell phone numbers.
There have just been a continual rash of stories like this where some luckily wind up being a harmless encounter; however, most turn out to be much worse. The concept that teenagers will accept as the truth who they are conversing with on the internet is shocking. The fact that it may not be a 16 year old boy but in fact a 28, 38 or 58 year old man and potential sexual predator just sometimes never comes into their conscious. The following are just some recent internet meetings that went too far with a complete lack of judgment.
Missing St. Paul Teen,Abbi Lee Welch, Reported Found
A 15-year-old girl who was reported missing from St. Paul and who police thought may have left to meet a man she met on the Internet, is home safe, her father said tonight.
Abbi Lee Welch was last seen at about 9 p.m. yesterday in St. Paul’s North End, near Rice Street and Lawson Avenue. She told friends that she met a man on www.myspace.com and he was coming from Kentucky to pick her up, police had said.
Missing Brittany Lynn Lovett, 15, Believed to be with Brian Agnew, 19, who She Met On Internet
The police state that they know the whereabouts of a missing 15-year-old Columbus girl, Brittany Lynn Lovett. She is said to be with Brian Agnew, 19, who she met on the internet.
Police Searching for 27 year old Jason Iannazzi and 14 year old Cheynne DeCicco
Police are searching for 27-year-old Jason Iannazzi of Watertown, MA 14-year-old Cheynne DeCicco of Brea, CA. Her parents reported her missing earlier this month. Where did they meet? The Internet of course.
Erin Nembhard FOUND!!!
A missing teenage girl, who ran away with a man she met on the Internet who then took her to the home of a known sex offender, walked into the Opa-locka police station Monday asking to go back home.
Monica Sharp, a 17 year old from Richmond, has been missing since Sept. 18, 2005
A missing Virginia teenager may be in the company of a man (Jeffery Nichols, 57) from Belleville, according to Richmond, Va., Police.
Sharp’s family and police suspect she may be with Jeffery Nichols, 57, of Belleville.
Then of course there is the tragic case of Taylor Behl: Taylor Behl’s internet blog Aides in the Investigation
All too often teenagers are using MySpace.com, Tickle, Xanga, Zorpia, MSN Spaces and providing far too much information for the world to see and having far too open a conversation with individuals they would never have face to face. The worst part is they actually cross the boundary of cyber space to physical meetings.
Teenagers please use common sense and parents beware; however, companies like MySpace do have responsibility in all of this as much as they would like to think they do not. The following statement was provided by MySpace.com:
MySpace.com said it was committed to providing a safe environment for its users. The site, which includes safety tips, also prohibits use by anyone younger than 14, though a disclaimer says the people who run the site can’t always tell if users are lying about their ages.
Funny MySpace.com, what would happen to proprietors that sell liquor if they took the same tact? They say they are 21, therefore I can sell alcohol to them? Hardly. If you know that predatorial practices occur then it is your responsibility to create checks that will create a safe environment. The law of unintended consequences is that sexual predators gravitate to these sights that are dominated by teens and those in their young twenties. Knowing that, it is your obligation to do much more than just ask if someone is 14 and take their word for it.
You have created the social environment, now control it.

Missing since December 5 and originally thought to be a run away, the body of 15 year old Kayla Reed was found on January 10 in a San Joaquin County canal. The San Joaquin County Coroner’s Office positively identified Kayla this morning.
A worker in the area saw what appeared to be a body in the water, according to Krull.
The San Joaquin County Coroner’s Office positively identified Kayla this morning.
Kayla was reported as a suspected runaway on December 5. Her mother last saw Kayla at their home on December 3 at 12:30 a.m.
Police announced Tuesday that they had begun investigating the disappearance as an unknown circumstances missing person case since Kayla had not made any attempts to contact family and friends.
Video Available
The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office indicated that, when found, the condition of Kayla’s body was consistent with one that had been in the water for three or four weeks or more, according to Krull.
Krull said there is no way to tell exactly how long she was in the water.
Authorities identified Kayla by comparing a picture of her smiling to the teeth of the found body, Krull said. A torso X-ray was also used to establish her identity.
(CBS 5)
Investigators are asking anyone with information about the crime to call Livermore police at (925) 371-4900 or the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office at (209) 468-4400.
Forensic tests confirm body as missing girl’s
Police suspect foul play; remains found in remote canal
A missing 15-year-old Livermore girl was found dead in a San Joaquin County canal earlier this month, police said Saturday after forensic testing confirmed her identity.
Reed was not positively identified until a forensic odontologist compared a picture of her with the remains, and a recent X-ray confirmed a rib anomaly on her body, Herrera said.
An autopsy couldn’t determine the cause of death because the body is so badly decayed, authorities said. However, police suspect foul play, as it would be unusual for Reed to be in the area where she was found, police said.
