Police found the body Monday in a wooded area 50 miles from the Fort Wayne
neighborhood where Alejandra Gutierrez disappeared December 8. According to authorities the body appeared to be a child that had been strangled.
Searchers following a tip from a man jailed for allegedly killing his wife and three young daughters have found a frozen body believed to be that of a 10-year-old girl last seen heading to a school bus stop earlier this month.
Delaware County Deputy Prosecutor Mark McKinney said the area was searched based on details given by Simon Rios, who is now considered a suspect in Gutierrez’s abduction and slaying. A 17-year-old juvenile in custody in Allen County also is considered a suspect, authorities said.
Rios is being held in the Dec. 13 killings of his wife and three children. Authorities say Rios told investigators he beat and strangled his wife and killed their three children after the couple argued about him doing household chores.

Indy Channel; Police: Body Might Be That Of Missing Girl
A Fort Wayne man charged in the murders of his wife and three daughters is now a suspect in the abduction and slaying of a 10-year-old girl after authorities found a frozen body believed to be hers near a gravel pit 50 miles from her home.
Delaware County Deputy Prosecutor Mark McKinney said Monday that Simon Rios, 33, as well as a 17-year-old juvenile are suspects in Alejandra Gutierrez’s disappearance and killing.
The bizarre chronology of events that went from bad to worse. A time line of events that would make ones head spin and then just shake one’s head in disbelief.

Adre-Anna Jackson was last seen on December 2, 2005 at 7:45 AM. The police have no
suspects and are short on leads.
“We’re looking at everybody,” Lawler said. “Nobody’s been ruled out.”
The Lakewood police are asking anyone who knows anything or knows what may have happened to Adre-Anna Jackson to please come forward. Lakewood police think someone knows what happened to Adre-Anna Jackson, and they want to hear from that person. Police feel that someones knows what happened.
Investigators renewed their plea for information Tuesday about the disappearance of the 10-year-old Tillicum girl as an FBI underwater team resumed its search at American Lake.
“I think someone knows what happened to her and doesn’t want to say,” said Lakewood police Sgt. Chris Lawler, one of the lead detectives investigating Adre-Anna’s disappearance. “I really doubt she disappeared on 
her own.”
Police are focusing on a 14-foot boat that was abandoned at the public dock and are looking for its owner.
Lakewood police also are looking for the owner of a 14-foot boat that was abandoned at the public dock at American Lake Park. Police confiscated the boat last week as part of their investigation, though they have no information linking it to Adre-Anna’s disappearance.
The white-and-blue boat has a purple top. It bears no identifying numbers, name or brand, Lawler said. Officers have talked to American Lake Park neighbors but found no one who knew anything about the boat.
From KOMO News: Police Calling For More Help In Search For Missing Girl
Adre’Anna Jackson disappeared two weeks ago on her way to school. FBI Agents are helping to search nearby American Lake. But police say they need more tips and more information from the public if they are to find Adre’Anna.
Adre’Anna’s mother holds up the dress her 10-year-old daughter wore to a father-daughter tea earlier this year. She remembers the little girl who is smart, happy and tall for her age; the little girl who loves to sit at her keyboard and write, who loves her dolls and knick knacks, who really loves her guinea pig.
Yvette Gervais thinks her daughter would know what to do if approached by strangers. “I would think, hope, run off. That’s what Dad, that’s what I taught her.”
There is a reward of up to $1,000. So if you think you might have information, call 911, call Crimestoppers (1-800-CRIME-13). Police say it could make a real difference for Adre’Anna.

With few leads to go on, police have confiscated a boat and a dumpster from American Lake North County Park as part of their investigation into the disappearance of Adre-Anna Jackson.
Investigators were alerted to the boat by a witness who said it had been tied to a public dock for a couple of days and was out of place, Lt. Bret Farrar said. The Dumpster was nearby.
Detectives have no information linking the boat or the Dumpster to Adre-Anna’s disappearance but will search them for possible evidence, Farrar said.
Friday, investigators were waiting for the boat to dry out before examining it.
“Obviously, we’re looking for hair and fibers,” Farrar said.
FBI will use sonar to map lake floor in search for girl
The FBI has stated that they will return and search the American Lake with side scanner sonar.
The team will use sonar equipment to map the lake floor between Bill’s Boat House, Silcox Island and Harry Todd Park, Lakewood police Lt. Bret Farrar said. Last week, agents combed the docks at the park and divers searched the surrounding water. No one found a trace of Adre-Anna.
Police asked the FBI team to expand their search, though not because of any specific information about Adre-Anna’s whereabouts, Farrar said.
“We’re just trying everything,” he said.
Crime Stoppers of Tacoma-Pierce County offers a $1,000 reward for information leading to Adre-Anna Jackson’s return. People with information about the case are asked to call 253-591-5959.

There have been no new developments in the search for missing 12-year-old Teketria Buggs which prompted Darryl Phillips of the Texas EquuSearch Mounted Search and Recovery Team on Sunday night to called off the full-force active search for the missing girl.
“Last night we called a meeting and talked with the family to let them know we were going to stop the search,” Phillips said. “But we’re still out here evaluating what we did and what we need to do to see if we’ve missed anything. We’ve just stepped aside for now, and we’re waiting until more information comes in that we could look into.”
However, according to EquuSearch this does not signify the end of the search but only a chance to regroup and weigh their options. They still plan to put boats in the water and await any further leads to investigate.
Phillips said although the ground search has slowed down, the team still plans on putting boats back in the water on Tuesday to continue searching for Buggs, and a few teams on four-wheelers will be out searching the area Monday.
“We haven’t been able to find anything. Right now, we’re just playing it by ear and following any leads that may come in,” Phillips said.

12-year-old Teketria Buggs is still missing as searches have come up empty in recent days. It is reported that the sheriff will be withdrawing his deputies at this time due to lack of leads. Its appears that future searches will be left up to volunteers to continue.
However, Sheriff Milton Wright reportedly is withdrawing deputies from the search because the manpower is needed elsewhere.
That leaves the search for the missing girl in the hands of volunteers, led by non-profit search-and-rescue members of EquuSearch Texas, members of the Orchard Volunteer Fire Department and residents of the community.
Due to these actions, Texas EquuSearch has put out a call to arms for volunteers to please help and search for the missing Teketria Buggs .
The development has prompted EquuSearch to ask for volunteers to help search beginning Saturday morning. Especially needed are people with horses and four-wheel-drive vehicles, said EquuSearch spokeswoman Barbara Gibson of Houston.
Anyone who can help comb the rural area is urged to “bundle up really good” against the weather and meet at the Orchard Volunteer Fire Department, a block east of State Highway 36 in Orchard, Gibson said. Searchers have assembled at 8 each weekday morning, but Gibson was unsure if the search will begin that early on Saturday.
“The volunteer fire department has really put in the hours,” she said. “Those are some incredible people right there.”

A tip led authorities to expand their search to include a home near where Teketria Buggs’ home is.
There have been no leads and no clues about what happened to the young girl. Each day, searchers return from the field without finding anything, but still with hope.
“If it was our baby, we’d be out there searching. I’d be out there searching. I wouldn’t stop. I couldn’t stop, you know?” said searcher Jaime Schumann.
Although they won’t talk about it, several investigators are again searching the neighboring home.
