Police arrested Jasper Keels with stealing the car that was seen speeding from the scene. Keels is being held in the Dekalb County Jail, charged with theft of a motor vehicle. Police are still searching for Bowie.
Police hoping for break in missing woman case
Authorities are hoping results from items being tested at the state crime lab, database searches, continued interviews with and background checks on persons of interest will help.
Police aren’t certain that Bowie’s mysterious disappearance on July 5 didn’t involve a stranger and are concerned that tips have reduced to a trickle.

There is sad news to report in the case of missing 12 year old Zina Linnik. Police are stating that they have found the body of the missing 12 year old.
Tacoma Police announced they found the body of 12-year-old Zina Linnik in Pierce County. The information came from a sex offender arrested earlier this week.
When it was previously discovered that a sex offender from Thailand had been taken in to custody as a person of interest, the missing persons case of Zina Linnik became rather grim. When the search warrant turned up a girl’s underwear at his home, things did not look good for missing Zina Linnik. One hates to speculate; however, we were dealing with a convicted sex offender. Why wouldn’t anyone think he was the suspect?
A search warrant reports investigators on Monday found a girl’s undergarments at his home, where he lives alone. He responded to that news by saying he was remodeling the home for his sister.
The sad the reality is that once again a convicted sex offender was allowed to walk among the most innocent of us and allowed to repeat his offenses against unsuspecting 12 year old girls. It wasn’t enough that this sex offender pleaded guilty in the past to incest after being charged with rape. Nope, he was allowed to escalate his crimes to murder and the other awful things we will learn in the future of the heinous acts committed against this beautiful and innocent 12 year old. Zina Linnik, God Bless and rest in peace.
UPDATE I: Police ‘Expect’ Convicted Sex Offender Will Be Charged in Murder of Washington Girl
Police said Friday that they “expect” a 42-year-old convicted sex offender from Thailand will be charged in the murder of 12-year-old Zina Linnik, who police believe was kidnapped July 4 while watching a fireworks display.
Terapon Adhahn, who was convicted of incest in 1990, provided information that led to the discovery of the girl’s body while being held for questioning, Tacoma Police Chief Don Ramsdell said. Adhahn, who lists a Parkland, Wash., address, was being held by federal immigration officials on a charge unrelated to Linnik’s apparent abduction. (FOX)
Some are raising the issue that Zina Linnk’s death is a result of our porous open borders and the consequences of not deporting criminals. As Michelle Malkin states, the death of 12 year old Zina Linnik is the “Bloody consequences of open borders”. However, we will go one step further and state that this is not just a product of the failure of open borders and the unwillingness to deport criminals. This is a result of America’s unwillingness to protect children. Sex registration lists are not updated. Law enforcement has no mechanism to track these predators. The end result is we suddenly find these sex predators after they have assaulted or murdered a child.

Campus Vanishing: Where Is Kelly Nolan?
A more detailed picture emerges in the Nolan case
One seriously has to wonder why discussing one’s past and trying to possibly tarnish a missing person past has anything to do with finding them. If a person is troubled or has gone through traumatic experiences, is that supposed to make them any less worthy to be found? Kelly Nolan is missing PERIOD!!! She needs to be found.
UPDATE I: Body is likely missing college student, investigators say
Investigators think a body found in a field Monday is a college student who vanished last month in Madison, where the woman was last seen after a night out at the bars.

Dane County coroner said the body was tentatively identified as 22-year-old Kelly Nolan, while Madison police spokesman Joel DeSpain said detectives were investigating the death as a homicide. (CNN)

Police brought canine units to Schneider Rd., just north of the village of Oregon, Wisconsin, approximately 17 miles from where Kelly Nolan disappeared, where they were conducting a new and sudden search.
Police have not yet revealed whether the body is male or female, and are treating the scene and investigation as a homicide. Police are now saying that they are assembling a forensic team to work with the coroner in an effort to ID the body, which was found at 8:45 Monday morning. It may take up to several days to process the scene. (Post Chronicle)

37 year old Lisa Stebic has been missing since April 30, 2007. Lisa Stebic, a mother of two 
was last seen at the home she shared with her husband. The two were in the process of a divorce. Police planned a massive search effort for Lisa Stebic to find the missing mother of two. The volunteer efforts of so many to help the find Lisa is truly touching. So many people trying to help a family they most likely have never heard of prior to Lisa going missing. All should be commended for their efforts.
The huge crowd overwhelmed the organizers, who had been expecting about 200 searchers. The line to register, be assigned a team and receive a sheet outlining what to look for snaked out the door of the pavilion at the Kenedall County Fairground. Some waited in line more than an hour
The clue sheet had a photograph of a purse of the kind Stebic was known to carry. It also mentioned a gray or silver cell phone, navy blue sweatpants, a white t-shirt and a woman’s shoe size 8 ½.
The search of the park, about 20 miles west of Plainfield, was organized by Plainfield police and police from both Will and Kendall counties. A number of professional searchers, including a unit on horseback, was assisting because of the park’s rough terrain. (Chicago Tribune)
Police, Family Lead Biggest Search Yet For Stebic

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)

17 year old Kara Kopetsky has been missing since May 4, 2007 from Belton, MO. She was last seen leaving Belton High School.
See the many looks that Kara Kopetsky has had over the years.
Description:
- Kara is 17 years old and would have just finished her junior year in high school
- 5′ 5″ tall
- brown hair
- hazel eyes
- As you can tell from the pictures, she is known to change her hair color. She no longer has braces as seen in some of the pictures

The question remains that could the case of missing Kara Kopetsky have a connection to that of Kelsey Smith? Could Edwin R. Hall, the individual charged in the murder of Kelsey Smith have any connection to the disappearance of Kara Kopetsky? As police found a body 6 miles from where Kara Kopetsky lived, her parents feared for the worse. As it turned out, the body found was that of Kelsey Smith. Is it a coincidence that Kelsey’s body was found so close to where Kara lived. One does wonder whether there is a connection.
Jim and Rhonda Beckford, like thousands of others across Kansas City, watched with trepidation Wednesday as news unfolded about a body found just six miles from their Belton home.
Theirs, though, was a special brand of fear. Their 17-year-old daughter, Kara Kopetsky, has been missing since May 4. So while the search for Kelsey Smith took place, the Beckfords’ fears mounted.
Tarnished relief came after about an hour, when a Belton police sergeant arrived to tell them it wasn’t Kara Kopetsky. (Kansas City.com)
Smith Murder May Hold Clues in Kopetsky Disappearance
Investigators are saying they can’t rule out the possibility that the kidnapping and murder of 18-year old Kelsey Smith is related to the disappearance of a Missouri girl.
VIDEO of links between murdered Kelsey Smith and missing Kara Kopetsky.
Police consider links to missing teens
When investigators in the Smith case announced Wednesday that a body had been found in Longview Lake Park, Kopetsky’s parents, Jim and Rhonda Beckford, waited nervously until Spears told them the body was that of Smith, and not Kara’s.
”Sitting here, a month later, and then you see somebody that has the same physical characteristics and not less than 30 minutes apart in distance wise and you start associating things,” said Jim Beckford, Kara’s stepfather. ”We didn’t have the resources and the video tape, and we didn’t have proof that Kara was abducted.”
Beckford also noted that his stepdaughter disappeared the same day a tornado struck Greensburg, Kan. The story dominated media coverage in the area.
Spears said most media didn’t give Kopetsky’s disappearance the attention he thought it warranted. (Ark City.net)
