Authorities are investigating the disappearance of three grandchildren of Southern California Rep. Gary Miller. The disappearance appears to be related to a custody dispute.
The children were reported missing about 1:30 p.m Monday from their Diamond Bar residence east of Los Angeles, sheriff’s officials said.
“We are looking into the disappearance of the children,” sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore told The Associated Press.
Investigators were looking into whether the children were taken by their “non-custodial mother,” said sheriff’s spokeswoman Deputy Aura Sierra, referring to a parent without custody rights.
The children’s parents are divorced and appeared to be in a custody battle, the San Gabriel Valley Tribune reported on it Web site.

Madeleine McCann has been missing since May 2007 when she disappeared while on vacation with her parents in Portugal. Now some interesting news is being reported by the PI hired by the family of Maddy.
Francisco Marco, the private investigator for the family of missing Madeleine McCann has stated that he is 100% certain that Madeleine is alive and they are close to finding her. It is believed that the abduction of Madeleine McCann was a carefully planned and organized plot to get Maddy out of the country.
Portuguese investigators are “100 percent sure” missing toddler Madeleine McCann is alive, Britain’s Sunday Mirror reports.
Francisco Marco, a private eye hired by the McCann family to track the missing girl – who would be 4 years old if she’s still alive – told The Mirror he is “sure she was abducted.”
“We are very, very close to finding the kidnapper,” he said.

The case if missing 9 year old Rowan Ford is disturbing on so many levels. One account that hits home and describes the the fact that there are just no words to describe such a heinous and senseless murder of an innocent 4th grader comes from “It is the Little Things” blog. How many times must we see that our children have been failed?
Two men have been arrested; however, no names released yet.
Two men have been arrested in the death of 9 year old Rowan Ford. Rowan Ford was reported missing after her mother, Colleen Spears, returned home early Nov. 3 from a night shift at a Wal-Mart. Her body was found on private land about 10 miles south of the girl’s hometown of Stella. Authorities have determined Rowan’s death to be a homicide; however, they have not provided a cause of death yet. Authorities believe that Rowan Ford was killed in Barry County.
Two men have been arrested in the death of a 9-year-old girl whose body was found Friday in a hillside cave in southwest Missouri, authorities said. Newton County Sheriff Ken Copeland identified one as a 24-year-old male and the other as a man of about the same age. (YAHOO News)
In another case of do not leave your child unattended and always check on your children when you return home, we are presented with the following account from the stepfather.
The girl’s stepfather, David Spears, told investigators he and two male friends were with Rowan the night before until they went out around 10:45 p.m. He returned home around midnight but did not check on the girl, Copeland said.
David Spears also later told authorities that he called his mother sometime after 1 a.m. and asked to use her vehicle, Copeland has said. She took it to him about half an hour later, then stayed at his house while her son left in her vehicle for about 5 1/2 hours, Copeland has said.
Copeland also has said that Spears has not been able to explain what he did during that time. He has not been accused of a crime.

According to reports, Michael Devlin will plead guilty next week in the 
kidnapping, attempted murder and and sexual assault. The case of Michael Devlin, the unassuming former Pizza manager, is an amazing story of hiding in plain sight. The blessing to this plea deal is that neither boy, William “Ben” Ownby nor Shawn Hornbeck will have to relive in a court room what happened to them and Michael Devlin will be taken out of society and away from our children for most likely life. This is probably the best outcome when we consider what is best for Shawn and Ben and their futures.
Washington County prosecutor John Rupp said Michael Devlin will plead guilty to all charges there in the 2002 kidnapping of Shawn Hornbeck and will be sentenced Tuesday.
Devlin was arrested in January after police found Shawn and Ben Ownby at Devlin’s apartment in the St. Louis County town of Kirkwood.
Loyd Bailie, Ben’s uncle, told The Associated Press on Friday that the family had been briefed by prosecutors that Devlin will plead guilty next week in all four jurisdictions where he is charged: three Missouri counties and federal court. He said he did not know whether Devlin would plead guilty to all of the more than 80 felony charges against him, several of which carry life sentences. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
The bizarre case of Michel Devlin started in the case of the kidnapping of Ben Ownby only to later learn that Devlin was also responsible for the earlier kidnapping of Shawn Hornbeck. William Ownsby was kidnapped and an AMBER ALERT was issued for the missing 13 year old boy after a witness saw the boy pushed into a white pickup truck. When the miraculous news occurred that William “Ben” Ownby was found safe and alive, no one could have imagined at the time that Shawn Hornbeck, who had been missing since 2002, would be found as well. Michael Devlin had in fact kidnapped both boys and had been charged by police with kidnapping and numerous other sexual molestation charges. The multiple sodomy charges were too numerous to list. The guilty plea will take this heinous individual off the streets and away from our children for life.
Michael Devlin Will Plead Guilty To All Charges Monday

Four year old Madeleine McCann went missing four months ago while she and her family were staying in Praia da Luz, Portugal. After all the investigation, after all the searching for missing Madeleine McCann, Portuguese police are about to do the unthinkable. The mother of Madeleine McCann is about to be named a suspect in the disappearance of her daughter.
The mother of a British girl who disappeared four months ago in southern Portugal is to be named a formal suspect in the case Friday, a family spokesman said, a shocking twist to a case that has gripped much of Europe. Kate McCann was questioned for almost 11 hours on Thursday, and is due back at a police station in Portimao, a town in Portugal’s Algarve region, later Friday morning, family spokesman David Hughes told The Associated Press. (FOX NEWS)
Madeleine: Blood In Parents’ Car?
Portuguese police have suggested to Kate McCann that traces of her daughter’s blood were found in a car the family hired 25 days after the girl went missing, a family friend said.
Mrs McCann, who is being questioned again by police, fears she will be charged today over the death of Madeleine.
In this bizarre turn of events, after all the efforts put forth by the parents of missing Madeleine McCann, either this is one of the most strange efforts by parents to find their missing child or the Portugese police have blown it. Kate McCann was questioned for over 10 hours. Both Kate and Gerry McCann have denied any involvement in their daughters disappearance.
After Mrs McCann was questioned for over 11 hours yesterday, the McCann’s lawyer Carlos Pinto de Abreu, insisted she was interviewed only as a witness.
Portuguese laws severely restrict what those privy to an investigation may say publicly, but Mrs McCann is said to be “amazed and concerned” by the news that her status has changed.
Previously Kate McCann and her husband Gerry had always met police together and officials described the meetings as informal. Both have denied any involvement in their daughter’s disappearance.
But yesterday Mrs McCann was interviewed alone and Mr McCann is expected to be interviewed separately at around 2pm today. (The UK Telegraph)
What does it mean under Portuguese law to make one a suspect?

11 year old Tang Nguyen from Rio Rancho, NM has been missing since Friday, August 
31, 2007 when he failed to come home. Tang Nguyen is slightly autistic.
But after the child failed to come home Friday by nightfall, Dawn Nguyen became afraid.
“Its been awful,” the mother said. “I haven’t been able to eat, I haven’t been able to sleep. I just don’t know what to do.”
Rio Rancho police are looking for 11-year-old Tang Nguyen and ask that if you know where the boy is, to contact them.
They believe Nguyen, who is slightly autistic, is probably at a friend’s house but did not let his family know. (KOB)
If anyone has any information on missing Tang Nguyen, please contact the Rio Rancho Police Department.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has just come up with a high tech, 21 century version of the milk carton. Instead of missing children on a milk carton, missing children on your computer screen saver. Fantastic idea.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has launched a 21st century take on milk carton advertising: a downloadable computer screensaver that flips through photographs of missing kids.
A picture of missing 3-year-old Shahid Lowther-Ray who went missing in 2002 in California.
Developed in partnership with a private software company, Global Software Applications, the rotating screens display a missing child’s picture and profile, tailored according to the region of the United States where the computer user is located
The 21st Century Milk Carton
More than 4,000 children are missing, said the Center’s executive director, Bob O’Brien. The screensaver is a great way “to get more and more people engaged” in finding kids.
Since the milk carton advertising of the 1980s, the organization has tried working with private companies who fax and regular mail the pictures. Any method to get the pictures to the public works. One in six children featured has been found as a result of someone seeing their picture.
Screensaver replaces milk carton in missing kid search
Download a photo screensaver, and potentially save a missing child. That’s the message from the child-safety group behind the Amber Alert system.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) released in the last week a “Missing Kid Saver,” downloadable software for people running most Windows operating systems. The application will draw on idle computer power to display updated news, information and photos on missing or abducted children from the NCMEC.
