The U.S. Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton, CA, are missing and confirmed
that the status of Lance Cpl. Margaret McMahon and Pfc. George “Kevyn” Reid II was officially changed to “unauthorized absence”. Police believe that the couple may have run away together, even though McMahon’s mother fears she had been abducted.
McMahon’s mother, who fears she may have been abducted, filed a missing person’s report with the Escondido Police Department, the town where the couple shared an apartment about 20 miles from the base.
Investigators searched the couple’s apartment Thursday, Lt. Robert Benton of the Escondido Police Department told ABC News, and found no evidence of foul play.
“We don’t have any information that suggests that there’s any suspicious circumstance other than they are voluntarily missing,” Benton said.
Benton said the couple’s Chevrolet Cavalier, which is either white or silver in color, is also missing.
Benton said the couple’s Chevrolet Cavalier, which is either white or silver in color, is also missing.
UPDATE I: Missing Marine seen on ATM video in Midwest
After viewing McMahon, 20, on video Tuesday trying to withdraw money in Salina, Kan., police dropped their investigation, saying the evidence confirms that McMahon was outside their jurisdiction. Police said they “relinquished” the investigation to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
Lance Cpl. McMahon was identified by a relative who viewed the video, in which McMahon appeared to be alone, police said. Also on Tuesday, a day after McMahon had gone missing, someone withdrew $400 from McMahon’s bank account in Hazelwood, Mo.
McMahon, who family members said a day earlier had argued with her new husband, fellow Marine Pfc. George Kevlyn Reid, 22, appeared to be under “no duress” in the cash-machine video, said Escondido police Lt. Neal Griffin.
UPDATE II: Missing Marines May Have Gone AWOL
Theory Couple Wanted to Avoid Being Sent to Iraq
UPDATE III: Missing Marine Contacts Family
UPDATE IV: Lance Cpl. Margaret McMahon-Reid and Pfc. George Reid II surrender to military officials
A newlywed Marine couple living in Escondido created a national stir when they went missing for days, only to surrender to military officials last week after making a cross-country trip.
McMahon-Reid has resumed her duties at Camp Pendleton. Her husband is being held in the brig at Miramar Marine Corps Air Station, where he is stationed. Marine officials wouldn’t explain why one spouse is behind bars and the other isn’t.
They also haven’t said whether the couple would be punished. If Reid and McMahon-Reid are charged with going “absent without official leave,” or AWOL, their case would hardly be unique.

A nationwide search is on for 13 year old Hannah McConnell and 15 year old Gage Petherbridge who have run away together. The ran away from their homes Saturday with one family’s minivan, $680 in cash and a dog named Mandy. Looks like they have taken the important things in life. Don’t leave home without the Xbox. Think these two when found won’t be grounded until they are 18? Hopefully, they will be found safe.
The youths haven’t been seen since last Saturday, when Gage snuck out of his home and took the family’s white 1997 Pontiac Montana with Michigan license plate 6DYW54. They pair left with $680, clothing, an Xbox 360 and Gage’s dog, Mandy.

Hannah McConnell

Gage Petherbridge
If you have any information on the two teens you’re asked to call the Genesee County Sheriff’s Dept. at (810) 257-3406
The Flint Journal reports the Vienna Township teenagers left notes and journal entries saying they were running away together. Julie McConnell says her daughter has bipolar disorder and left without her medicine. Mary Wismer says her son has had his learner’s permit since June and is a very cautious driver.
Genesee County sheriff’s Capt. Chris Swanson says police have reason to believe they may be in the area of Huntington Beach southwest of Santa Ana on the coastline in Orange County, California.
Mom fears for teen daughter who fled with boyfriend
Runaways draw national attention
Hannah’s mother, Julie, said she was told police were following a lead in the Gladwin area and were also talking with her daughter’s classmates.
Their names have been entered in a national database along with the minivan, a white, 1997 Pontiac Montana, license plate number 6DYW54.
Gage, a ninth-grader at Clio High School, does not have a driver’s license.
The teens left home early Saturday with about $700 and Gage’s cocker spaniel, Mandy.
The teens apparently ran away to be together.
Gage’s MySpace page says “im lost without her” and that he is “completly inlove (sic) with hannah elane mcconnell and no one can ever change that.”
An entry for his mood on the page shows a sad blue face next to the word “distraught.”
Hannah’s MySpace page shows two hearts with the words “I know who I love.”
Missing Michigan teen called from Nevada, boyfriend’s family says
Teens call from the road that they are running low on funds. Funny how that happens when mommy and daddy are not there to provide for your every need. I guess the two showd have thought about that before they decided to run away. $680 just doesn’t get one very far these days, especially with the cost of gas. Then again, what would a 13 and 15 year old know about these things, or personal responsibility for that matter.
A 13-year-old Vienna Township teen, who ran off with her 15-year-old boyfriend and has been missing for a week, made a call to a friend today from motel in Nevada, family members of the boyfriend said today.
Mary Wismer, Gage Petherbridge’s mother, said Hannah McConnell called a friend in Swartz Creek, telling him that they were in Nevada, but running low on money.
Police are trying to track where in Nevada the call was made, Wismer said.
UPDATE I: Michigan Teen Couple, Hannah McConnell & Gage Petherbridge’, Who Ran Away in Family’s Van Found Safe in Louisiana
Think these two are not grounded until they are 35!
A nationwide search has ended safely for a 15-year-old boy and his 13-year-old girlfriend, who turned up in Louisiana nine days after fleeing their Michigan homes in the boy’s family minivan.
Hannah McConnell and Gage Petherbridge were found Monday in Cameron Parish, Genesee County Sheriff Robert Pickell told WJRT-TV and The Flint Journal.
The boyfriend and girlfriend were playing with seagulls on a Gulf of Mexico beach, just east of the Texas state line, authorities say.

24 year old Anu Solanki had been missing since Christmas Eve. Dignesh Solanki
last saw his wife Monday when they both left for work. A call to a friend after she got off work was the last time anyone has heard from her. Her has been located Anu Solanki’s car in a forest preserve. Thus began the costly search for Anu Slolanki.
Cook County Forest Preserve police searched Tuesday for a missing northwest suburban woman and may ask a dive team to search the Des Plaines River Wednesday, a spokesman said.
Anu Solanki’s Honda Civic was found about 4 p.m. Monday in a forest preserve near Hintz Road and Milwaukee Avenue in Wheeling, Forest Preserve District spokesman Steve Mayberry said.

UPDATE I:Divers, copter search for missing northwest suburban woman
Divers were searching the Des Plaines River near Wheeling this morning as a Cook County sheriff’s helicopter combed the area for a northwest suburban woman whose abandoned car was found this week in a forest preserve.
Cook County Forest Preserve police are coordinating the river search and working with the Cook County sheriff’s police and the Wheeling police and fire departments.
The couple have been married for about seven months, Shah said. Solanki is originally from Virginia, and moved here after she wed. Several relatives drove overnight to arrive Christmas morning after hearing that she was missing.
Dignesh Solanki said his wife told him Sunday night that she was going to the forest preserve’s river to discard a broken religious statue. The Ganesh statue, which has an elephant head, was used in their marriage ceremony in New Jersey and was mailed to them recently, the husband said.
UPDATE II: Search For Missing Woman Concludes For Today
Most of the officers searched the six miles of shoreline on foot with two trained dogs. A third dog and police officers traveled up and down the river by boat.
Mayberry said that so far, there is no sign of Solanki or of her missing cell phone, purse and laptop computer. He refused to say whether police now consider this a recovery operation.
Sheriff’s detectives spoke again with several family members, including Solanki’s husband, Dignesh, at the Skokie courthouse.
The family is aiding the search by distributing fliers, and Mayberry said the conversations were held “only for the purposes of gathering information for the missing persons investigation.”
UPDATE III: Missing woman Anu Solanki is alive, authorities say
UPDATE VI: Illinois woman back after $250K search
It appears that we have a “runaway newlywed”. So much for just leaving your husband and getting a divorce. Instead pretend that you have gone missing and waste tax payers money and the police’s time.
CHICAGO - Family members arranged a meeting at an undisclosed location between investigators and a married woman from Illinois whose disappearance on Christmas Eve prompted a costly search.
Anu Solanki, 24, met with law enforcement officials at an undisclosed location Friday, said Cook County sheriff’s police spokesman Steve Mayberry.
UPDATE V: Missing woman who ran: I was unhappy in marriage
Anu Solanki, the 24-year-old newlywed who appeared to go missing this week, has told Cook County Sheriff’s police she instead ran off with another man because she was unhappy in her marriage.
She and her friend Karan C. Jani, 23, drove on Monday from a forest preserve near Wheeling to Jani’s Los Angeles apartment, said Bill Cunningham, chief of staff for Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.
She and her friend Karan C. Jani, 23, drove on Monday from a forest preserve near Wheeling to Jani’s Los Angeles apartment, said Bill Cunningham, chief of staff for Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart.
“She basically wanted out of her marriage,” Cunningham said. “She wanted to make a clean break.”
