Lately so many of these missing person cases that wind up in murder have been involving ex-husbands or couples that were in the process of divorcing.
On the law enforcement radar screen are Jones’ two ex husbands.
One was released from prison four months ago on drug charges and the other involved in a custody battle over their daughter.
Neither one is being called a suspect at this time, but friends and family can’t help but think the worst.
Nine days with no sign is just not right.
Jones drove her mother’s car to Prescott last week.
It’s a 1998, silver, Suzuki Esteem. Cheryl’s daughter is now staying with her father. (AZ Family)

23 month old Conner Cummings has been missing since Friday evening at about 6:30 PM in Granville County, NC. It would appear that Conner Cummings wandered away fro his home. Connor is a white male and was last seen wearing a red and blue jumper with sandals.
About 200 law officers and volunteers are searching a heavily wooded area in northwestern Granville County for a toddler thought to have wandered away from home Friday evening.
Connor Cummings, who is 23 months old, was last seen about 6:30 p.m. at his home on Jack Aycock Road. He was in the yard with his mother as she fed the family’s dogs. After a short time, she realized he was missing, as was his dog, a golden lab.
The mother searched on her own for about two hours before calling the Granville County Sheriff’s Office as the sun set. (The News Observer)
Although investigators believe that Conner Cummings wandered off they are not ruling out any possibilities. In this day and age and after the many missing person cases we have covered, one learns rather quickly that anything is possible.
Tingen said it is believed the boy simply wandered off, though investigators are considering the possibility he was abducted.
“We are not ruling anything out at this point,” Tingen said this morning. “We will search until this child is found.”
If anyone has any information or has seen Conner Cummings please call the Granville sheriff’s office communications center at (919) 693-3213.
Missing Toddler Wandered Away From Home
More than 100 people were searching a wooded area near the home of a missing toddler Saturday.
Crews searched the woods near the home on Jack Aycock Road all night, and additional search crews from as far away as Asheville arrived Saturday morning to assist. The North Carolina Wing of the Civil Air Patrol was also called to assist.
UPDATE I: Conner Cummings Found Safe
There is good news to report from the case of missing 23 month old Conner Cummings. Conner was found safe by searchers at about 8:30pm Saturday night.
“He was scratched up, dirty and had some ticks on him,” Tingen said in a telephone interview. “He was in pretty good spirits.”
More than 200 volunteers and police officers searched for the boy in woods that were thick with briars and vegetation. The Civil Air Patrol launched aircraft to search from above. (Washington Post)

Former KIRO radio talk show host Mike Webb has been missing since April, 2007. This afternoon a badly decomposed body was found at Webb’s rental house. According to police the body was so badly decomposed they could not determine sex, age or race.
A severely decomposed body was found this afternoon at the rental home of former KIRO radio talk-show host Mike Webb, who has been missing since April.
A property manager found the body shortly before 3 p.m. at the home in the 2500 block of 3rd Avenue W., according to police. The body was so decomposed that investigators were unable to immediately determine its sex, age or race, said Seattle police spokesman Jeff Kappel. Police wouldn’t say where in the home the body was found. (Seattle Times)
One would naturally ask the question, why wasn’t the house searched if Mike Webb was missing? According to police they were not allowed to enter. Wouldn’t one think that the stench from the home of a decomposing body and the fact that Webb was considered missing would make entering a home legal?
He said officers had previously been to the home as part of that investigation, but could not legally enter.
UPDATE: Radio host Mike Webb stabbed to death
The King County Medical Examiner’s office has confirmed that Mike Webb died of multiple stab wounds sometime after April 13. The death of the liberal radio host now is being investigated as a homicide.
Seattle police crime scene investigators and homicide detectives were combing the house Webb had rented for 14 years in the 2500 block of Third Avenue West.
Assistant Chief Nick Metz, head of the department’s investigations division, said a property manager discovered the badly decomposed body Thursday afternoon.
In the days following his disappearance, Webb’s family members received several text messages from Webb’s cell phone but did not speak with him, according to police documents. (Seattle PI)
Human remains found at Seattle home of missing radio talk show host
Investigators were trying to determine whether the body had been moved to the house, Metz said. Several people – including missing-person investigators and Webb’s family – had been to the house in the months since the liberal radio host vanished.
Officers last examined the home within the past two weeks, police spokesman Jeff Kappel said. It was unclear whether officers entered the home at that time.
Metz declined to divulge details about where the body was found. But he did say that, when those details are publicized, the reasons why the body was not located earlier will be clear.

Two teenage boys who attended Coolidge High School have been arrested in the murder of Amber LeAnn Hess. Amber LeAnn Hess’ body was recently found burned in the desert. The two teenage boys will be booked on first degree murder charges. What was the motive why these two boys would commit such a hideous act of violence?
Two teenage boys, including one who was described as a one-time close friend of the victim, were arrested Wednesday in the killing of a Queen Creek girl whose burned body was found in the desert, authorities said.
The 16-year-olds made statements that led detectives to believe they took part in the killing of Amber LeAnn Hess, 17, whose body was found Monday near Florence, Pinal County Sheriff Chris Vasquez said. Her body has been positively identified using dental records.
From all indications in that there was an attempt to cover up the crime by taking her body and her car, one would have suspected that Amber knew her killers. As it turns out they were both acquaintances, one of the boys having been a past very good friend.
Candy Hess said one of those arrested was one of her daughter’s best friends, who spent hours in their home playing video games and would call constantly.
“He was like a brother to her, which makes this even more confusing to us,” Candy Hess said.
Candy Hess said her daughter had a falling-out with the boy, who had called the girl a disrespectful name. The mother emphasized the boy wasn’t her daughter’s boyfriend.
From all accounts the attack was brutal and Amber LeAnn put up quite a fight. What would possess two people to act in such a heinous way and brutally murder Amber LeAnne Hess? The two will most likely be charged as adults. One seriously has to wonder what evil lurks in some people’s hearts.
“Basically they just didn’t like her and for whatever reason were planning to kill her,” Vasquez said. “They went to her home and through a combination of beating, stabbing and choking, killed her.”
The teens will be booked on first-degree murder charges, and other charges are likely, Vasquez said. They likely will be charged as adults, and had a court appearance set for Wednesday afternoon in juvenile court in Pinal County.
“From what I’m told this girl fought for her life in that home, and she didn’t die easy – it was very brutal,” Vasquez said in an interview from Salt Lake City, where he is attending a law enforcement convention. “If they had been adults I would be screaming for the death penalty in this case.” (FOX News)

Teen Amber Leann Hess Missing From Queen Creek, AZ Foul Play Suspected
Family members said Amber has never disappeared before and that it’s out of character for her to lose contact with her parents. Her grandfather said Amber does not have a boyfriend and her family has no idea where she could be. (National Ledger)
UPDATE I: Burned body found, possibly linked to a missing 17-year-old girl
This is not a very optimistic update in the case of missing Amber LeAnn Hess. Authorities have found a burned body and other evidence that lead them to believe it may be that of missing Amber LeAnn Hess. Although they are unable to confirm, the evidence (and we are speculating) might be that of her missing car.
Pinal County Sheriff’s officials say they’ve discovered a burned body and other evidence that indicates the victim may be a missing 17-year-old Chandler Heights woman. The body was found off the Hunt Highway near the Anthem development.
The Pinal County chief deputy says at this time, they’re unable to confirm the body is that of Amber Hess. (KOLD)
Originally, one would speculate that this could have been a random robbery where the person may have thought that the entire family had gone on vacation. However, it is hard to imagine that a burglar/killer would have gone to such great lengths to hide and dispose of a body. One would tend to think that the killer was known to the victim.
Teen missing; burned body found
The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office has ordered an autopsy on a burned body discovered Monday in the desert to determine whether investigators have found 17-year-old Amber LeAnn Hess, who was last heard from Friday.
The body was found in an area off of Hunt Highway, about five miles northwest of Florence. Investigators found evidence at the site that connects the case to the other crime scene – the home where Amber lives with her parents, said Jerald Monahan, Pinal County chief sheriff’s deputy.
Authorities declined to say what that evidence included.
UPDATE II: Could there be any Clues from Amber LeAnn Hess’ MySpace?

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.
