29 year old Alicia Minton has been missing since June 1, 2007. She was last seen at 1:00 pm when she left her children off with a friend and headed to Beaver Lake. Since that date, Alicia Minton has never been seen and very little details have been released.
Description: Missing persons poster
- AGE: 29
- HT: 5’7”
- WT: 110 LBS
- HAIR: BROWN
- EYES: BROWN
- She was last seen wearing a red bikini, red tank top, shorts, and pink flip flops.
- She was driving a sliver BMW 301, which was later found near the intersection of Second and Locust Streets in northeast Rogers, AR.
Searches have been conducted; however, the authorities have remained extremely quiet in this case.
Authorities and volunteers have searched the islands, shoreline and waters for any sign of Minton since June 8. A purse that may have belonged to Minton was found June 15. Sonar equipment and divers have been tediously going over the underwater terrain searching for any clues to find Minton.
A family representative has asked police and volunteers to continue searching for Minton.
While police remain tightlipped, court documents show the problems in Minton’s past, including when the state took away a child in 1998 after she “used drugs extensively during her pregnancy.” Minton appealed, though those records remain sealed. (Pine Bluff Commercial)
Search Efforts Expand For Missing Benton Co. Woman
Groups from Missouri and Texas are the latest to join the in the search for Alicia Minton at Prairie Creek on Beaver Lake, 40/29 reported.
The Rev. Michael Powers spoke on behalf of Minton’s parents, Roger and Brenda Mathis.
“The family would like to thank all of the law enforcement officers from all over this area that have been searching for our daughter. We would also like to thank all the volunteers that have been in and around the lake daily, aiding with the search,” said Powers.
From the Texas Equusearch website:
Although three days of intensive search with the use of side scan sonar equipment provided no images of Alicia, we are not giving up. We are immediately in the process of obtaining a marine magnetometer that will scan more accurately, more efficiently, and hopefully with more results. We plan to return to Rogers to continue our search for Alicia as soon as possible. Please continue to pray for her family and especially for her small children.
Randal Todd Greenway, the ex-boyfriend of Alicia Minton is considered a person of interest, but has not been charged with Alicia’s disappearance. He was just recently sentenced to 20 years on 5 felony drug convictions. It has been stated by Michelle Hurt, Minton’s sister, that Alicia’s ex-boyfriend Randal Todd Greenway once “beat the crap out of her.”
Hurt said she didn’t know a lot about Minton’s former boyfriend, Randall Todd Greenway. She added that on one occasion, Minton called her about an incident where Greenway “beat the crap out of her” and that he was abusive.
Greenway pleaded guilty Thursday to five felonies and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. He has not been charged in connection with Minton’s disappearance.
Hurt told her sister to just “walk away, walk away” from Greenway but thinks her sister was scared to do so.
“She loved him and love makes you do stupid things,” Hurt said. “I just know that he wasn’t good for her.”
“She’s made poor choices,” Hurt said about Minton’s past involvement with drugs but added that she wasn’t doing them now.

The baby was still inside the womb of Davis, Kohler said as she left her office Sunday. She declined further comment. Davis’ identity was released on a recording from the medical examiner’s telephone hotline.

As police search for missing 9 month pregnant Jessie Davis, they discovered another rather troubling set of circumstances. A day old baby was left abandoned at a private residence in Wooster, OH. The baby was taken to the hospital where DNA tests were performed. Could this be Jessie Davis’ baby?
(Chattanooga Times Free Press)
A couple arriving home from dinner Monday night discovered
the newborn on the porch of their rural home south of Wooster,
Maurer said. The baby was dressed in a sleeper. The wicker basket
contained a blanket and a bottle of formula, but there was no note, he said.
Police investigating the disappearance of pregnant mom Jessie Davis are looking into the discovery of an abandoned newborn baby 45 miles from where the woman was last seen.
The day-old infant girl was left Monday night in a wicker basket on the doorstep of a residence in rural south Wooster, Ohio and taken to Wooster Community Hospital, where a DNA sample was taken.
What are the chances that this baby was that of missing Jessie Davis?
Authorities are trying to determine whether there is a link between that baby and the one Davis, 26, was expecting, said Stark City Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Rick Perez in a Tuesday evening press conference.
“Investigators are not ruling anything out at this time,” Perez said.
Thomas Maurer, sheriff in neighboring Wayne County, does not believe there is a connection between the baby and Davis. He said a doctor determined that the newborn was less than 24 hours old.
“We’re using every caution we can” to ID the infant or eliminate the possibility that she is related to Davis, he said. (FOX News)
Baby found near where woman disappeared
A newborn girl with her umbilical cord still attached was found in a basket on a doorstep 45 miles from where a pregnant woman vanished, authorities said Tuesday. A DNA sample was taken from the infant Tuesday and was given to authorities investigating the disappearance.
Newborn baby girl found in Wooster, police check for ties to missing mom case
Police in Wooster confirm that a newborn baby girl was found Monday night abandoned on the doorstep of a home.
According to police the baby, a white female, was found in a basket at a home on East Messner in Applecreek.
The homeowners found the child when they returned home from dinner.
The baby was taken to Wooster Community Hospital where officials say she “remains in good health and identified as a less than 24-hour-old female.”
Wayne County Children Services has temporary custody of the child.
There will be an official hearing Wednesday in juvenile court before Judge Raymond Leisy.
Update I: Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch to help search for missing Jessie Davis
The nationally recognized organization, Texas EquuSearch, is one of two national groups family members say are now volunteering in the search for Jessie Davis.
Davis, a mother of a two-year-old son was last heard from last Wednesday.
According to a spokeswoman at the team’s Texas office, Texas EquuSearch director, Tim Miller, is en route to Northeast Ohio and is expected to arrive late Tuesday night.
It’s expected the team will talk with law enforcement officials and family members to assess the situation. From there, the group will determine whether their resources will be helpful in the search.
EquuSearch President to Help Search for Missing Pregnent Woman
Texas EquuSearch President Tim Miller is en route to Cleveland, Ohio, to help search for a 9-month pregnant woman who has been missing for nearly a week, FOX 26 News reported Tuesday.
An official with EquuSearch told FOX 26 News that Miller and another EquuSearch volunteer will meet with law enforcement officials and relatives of Jessie Davis Wednesday morning to help establish a game plan and see what resources officials need to find the 26-year-old woman.
Originally one thought was that the abductor maybe wanted the baby of Jessie Davis. However, now that an abandon baby was found near where Jessie Davis went missing that thought process may be ruled our. Or possibly that may have been the original intention, but the heat and media exposure was turned up that any such plan had to be abandoned.
UPDATE II: Jessie Davis Baby Daddy Bobby Cutts Jr Slammed by Ex, Nikki Giavasis
Her boyfriend Bobby Cutts Jr is not a suspect according to police. He is the father of her child and the father of her unborn baby. He was criticized heavily by his ex, model and actress Nikki Giavasis on Fox News on Tuesday.
Giavasis told Fox that Cutts once kicked down her door when he broke into her house after their relationship ended because he was upset that she was dating someone new. She had taken several restraining orders out against him, she said, including one in 2007. He also hit and verbally abused their daughter, who no longer sees him.

A 24 year old man was reported missing aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Freedom of the Seas, on Monday. The cruise ship was sailing from Miami to San Juan, PR before it reversed direction to look for the missing passenger.
A Royal Caribbean cruise ship turned around Monday to help authorities search for a passenger who was reported missing.
Royal Caribbean says the 24-year-old unidentified man was last seen on a balcony in his room aboard the Freedom of the Seas early Monday morning.
He was reported missing several hours later.
Cruise Ship Passenger Missing
The 24-year-old unidentified man was last seen on a balcony in his room aboard the Freedom of the Seas about 1:45 a.m. Monday, according to the Royal Caribbean statement. He was reported missing at about 8:30 a.m.
The man may have been intoxicated, said U.S. Coast Guard spokesman Dana Warr. Is there a reason why that cruise ships cannot be held to the same standards as local bars? Why is it that passengers are allowed to get so intoxicated on cruise ships and we consistently hear stories of people going overboard. At some point some responsibility does fall on the cruise line.
UPDATE I: FBI probing missing cruise ship passenger
Brent Smith, 24, was last seen around 1:45 a.m. Monday on his stateroom balcony aboard the Freedom of the Seas, owned by Royal Caribbean International. Relatives reported him missing around 8:30 a.m., according to a cruise ship statement.
The ship turned around at that point to search for Smith, who was traveling with his brother, Matthew Smith, and his brother’s girlfriend, said FBI spokesman Harry Rodriguez. Coast Guard crews launched a search as well. (MSNBC)
Brent Smith
UPDATE II: Coast Guard Suspends Search for Missing N.C. Man
The U.S. Coast Guard said it has suspended its search for a North Carolina man who went missing from a cruise ship.
Brent Smith, 24, was last seen at around 1:45 a.m. Monday on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line vessel Freedom of the Seas. He was on the cruise with members of his family.
Coast Guard officials said a pair of sandals belonging to Smith were found on the deck of the cruise ship, but there was no sign of him.
UPDATE III: Service Set for Man Missing From Cruise Ship
There is no body and no real answers, but a Wayne County family will hold a memorial service Tuesday for a man who is missing from a cruise ship and is feared dead.
In a phone interview Monday, the FBI, which doesn’t investigate missing persons cases, said its agents were still poring over evidence just to make sure there had been no foul play.
“The FBI evidence response team processed the cabin that was secured once the victim was discovered missing aboard the ship,” Agent Henry Rodriguez said. The FBI also said agents had looked at copies of videotape taken from security cameras aboard the ship

26 year old and 9 month pregnant Jessie Davis is still missing. Its been 5 days since she was last seen. For a woman who is 9 months pregnant this is hardly a welcome situation. The authorities have found signs of a struggle in the home of Jessie Davis.
Deputies found the woman’s mattress moved out of place and missing an ornate patterned comforter that resembled an Oriental rug. A toppled nightstand and lamp lay nearby on bleach-soaked carpet.
What happened? The primary clues may come from a pint-sized witness. (The Plain Dealer)
However, the most disturbing clue to Jessie Davis’ disappearance may be from her 2 year old son. No matter how one tries to interpret it, this just can’t be good.
“Mommy was crying,” Blake told deputies. “Mommy broke the table… Mommy’s in rug.”
Jessie Marie Davis: Police Press Conference Reveals No Suspects
Jessie Marie Davis UPDATE: Jessie Marie Davis case press conference has revealed no suspects, no signs of forced entry into Jessie’s home, and that foul play is possible.
Do the authorities really not have any suspects or are they just being tight lipped? One would think there may be people of interest, especially when there was no sign of forced entry into the house, yet there was an obvious scuffle inside. Did Jessie Davis know her attacker?
At a press conference today, Stark County sheriff’s Chief Deputy Rick Perez said deputies have no suspects. The boyfriend of Ms. Davis, Canton police officer Bobby L. Cutts Jr., and his wife, Kelly, were questioned and are cooperating, Perez said. Cutts joined the weekend volunteer search for Davis. (Canton Rep)

“We feel that there possibly is foul play, however we’re still investigating it as a missing person,” said Stark County Sheriff’s Chief Dep. Rick Perez at a news conference Monday. (FOX News)
