12-year-old Mayra Sandoval who has been missing since Tuesday was spotted on a gas station surveillance camera. 
These new photos taken by a surveillance camera show the girl getting out of a dark SUV at the Shell station on the corner of Bee Ridge and Cattleman roads. The pictures were taken Wednesday at about 3:45 p.m.
Sandoval’s parents have seen the pictures and believe this could be their daughter. The images show the girl getting out of the SUV, then going into the station, making a cell phone call and walking toward the bathroom in the back of the store.
As she leaves the station, she is out of the camera’s view. Deputies don’t know whether the SUV picked her up again or whether she left on foot.
Police are asking anyone who was at the gas station at the same time, or anyone with other information about the missing girl, to call (941) 366-TIPS.
Parents plea for missing daughter to call
The parents of the missing 12-year-old Mayra Sandoval issued a plea to her this afternoon to call home and let them know she is OK.
During a press conference this afternoon, investigators said a surveillance camera at a Radiant gas station on Bee Ridge Road captured an image of a female on Wednesday that could be Mayra. But investigators and the girls’ parents stopped short of categorically saying it is Mayra.

A 14-year-old boy reported missing by his family was located in Mexico this week with his former teacher.
The teacher, Angela Comer, 26, was arrested Tuesday night in Nuevo Laredo by Mexican authorities, according to a statement from the FBI.
Authorities in Kentucky were investigating whether the two had a sexual relationship.
Stephens said Comer had been charged in November with unlawful transaction with a minor, a misdemeanor, for trying the coax the boy into disobeying his grandmother. Stephens said Comer and the boy communicated by e-mail.
The grandmother “was just trying to put a barricade up between the juvenile” and Comer, Stephens said.
The e-mails are being used by authorities in the investigation into whether Comer and the youth had an illegal sexual relationship, Stephens said.

Tompkinsville, KY police are looking for 14-year-old Justin Dale Carter and his former teacher, Angela Comer. Justin Dale Carter was last seen on Friday night at 10:30pm by his grandmother.
York says: “We went to bed around 10:30 Friday night. And I let him sleep in on Saturdays. And I couldn’t find my purse when I got up, so I went to ask him if he had seen it and that’s when I discovered he had stuffed the bed with pillows.”
Police say Carter and Comer took around seven hundred dollars and credit cards from York’s purse, and they say he was not forced to go with her.
Chief Ford says: “He went willingly. We have seized the computer there was some chat. There was evidence there was a relationship between the two of them.”
Kentucky State Police say Carter’s willingness to go with Comer one reason an Amber Alert was not filed. Tompkinsville Police say Comer purchased a gun in December and York thinks her grandson may have been taken against his will.
It amazes me as to the rules and regulations and comments that come from police when dealing with these types of cases. Amber Alerts not issued because the 14 year old was not taken against his will. Yet he is a minor. How would this be treated if we were dealing with a 14 year old girl? Then the police make the following comment and the subsequent response by Justin’s grandmother.

The search continues for the Dublin teenager Lincey O’Brien who is said to have fell off of a cruise ship near Isla Mujeres, a Caribbean island near Cancun.
The Costa Magica cruise ship was 26 miles away from the island in the pre-dawn hours Thursday when the teen fell into the Caribbean, according to the ship’s captain, Guisseppo Russo.
Russo identified the victim as Lincey O’Brien and did not divulge her hometown. Newspapers in the missing teen’s native Ireland spelled her first name Lynsey, however, and reported she was from Dublin.
Rough sea conditions had slowed the search, said Genaro Medina, a federal official at the office of the port captain on Isla Mujeres. While air rescue efforts continued via Mexican coast guard helicopters, officials were no longer optimistic about finding the victim alive.
“It’s really difficult (to believe) the young woman is alive,” Medina said. “The impact could have caused an instantaneous death since the distance between the railing from where she fell and the water is 30 to 40 meters.”
A spokesman for Carnival confirmed that a passenger had gone overboard, but referred calls for further comment to Costa Cruises in Hollywood, Florida, where no one could immediately be reached for comment.

14-year-old Sarah Roane has been missing since Wednesday and is being considered a possible run away. Sarah is an eighth-grader at Castle Rock Middle School, but never showed up for after-school detention on Wednesday.
A 14-year-old Billings girl has been missing since Wednesday, most likely having run away, and her family is looking for assistance as they continue their search for her.
Sarah Roane, an eighth-grader at Castle Rock Middle School, attended school, Wednesday but didn’t show up for after-school detention Douglas Roane, Sarah’s father, said Saturday. Indications were that she had been planning to run away, Roane said.
“There was no sudden precipitating event,” he said. “She had a backpack packed with her clothes, her savings account book and her address book.”
Reports claim that there may be an on-line chat link to this disappearance.
A rumor that she was planning to go to her cousin’s house in Helena hasn’t panned out, Roane said. But he is worried she might have met someone on the Internet and run away with that person.
Before she ran away, Sarah had gone into online chat rooms on computers away from home and posed as a 19-year-old, Roane said. He has no proof that she has hooked up with someone, but suspects it could be a possibility
Description:
Sarah is 5 feet, 3 inches tall with long, straight light-brown hair and blue eyes.
Last seen, she was wearing a silver-and-pink coat and had a pink backpack.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Billings Police Department or Roane at 259-5311.

Tabatha Lively, 13, had been missing from Brevard, NC since December 28, 2005 was found safe in Orlando, Florida.
Investigators believed her uncle, Samual Lively, who has family in East Tennessee, abducted her.
He was arrested and Tabatha was located when he tried to apply for a job in Orlando, Florida.

Lively and his niece disappeared on December 27 from the town of Brevard in western North Carolina. They reportedly traveled to South Florida, in the Fort Lauderdale area, then came to Orlando where Lively was looking for work.
A missing person flier with news of the kidnapping had just arrived at Bayside Staffing on South Orange Blossom Trail, so when a deputy stopped in that same office, employees said the man featured on the flier had just been hired.
Lively was arrested in the parking lot of a convenience store. Orange County deputies also gathered clothes and other materials from a motel where the two may have been staying. It’s still not clear how long they’ve been in the Orlando area, but they have been missing for more than a week.

Lynsey O’Brien, from South Dublin is missing from a cruise ship during her family’s vacation in the Caribbean.
It is feared Lynsey O’Brien, from South Dublin, has drowned after she disappeared while on a family holiday in the Caribbean.
A family member raised the alarm on Thursday morning after the 15-year-old was discovered missing from her cabin.
Update: Irish teen vanishes from cruise ship on trip from Port Everglades to Mexico
The passenger, who was traveling with her family, was aboard the cruise ship Costa Magica, which left Fort Lauderdale on New Year’s Day for a weeklong Western Caribbean itinerary. It is due back on Jan. 8.
At about 2 a.m. EST Thursday, as the ship was making its way toward Cozumel, Mexico, the teenager was reported to have disappeared. “We have a full investigation going on,” said Lynn Torrent, president of Costa Cruise Lines.
At least in this case the cruise ship did the right thing and circled the area until further help was provided.
The cruise ship then circled the area until Mexican Navy vessels arrived to aid in the search. The cruise line said the ship’s staff is trying to console the parents. “They’re devastated,” Torrent said.
The search continues for Lynsey O’Brien who reportedly fell overboard.
A search operation is continuing off Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula for an Irish teenager who fell overboard from a cruise ship in the early hours of yesterday morning.
It is understood Ms O’Brien was on the top deck of the ship with her 11-year-old sister, Imelda, when she fell overboard. Her sister then alerted her parents and a search was initiated.
