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.

Police are searching for missing 10 year old Samantha Williams who appears to have wandered off from her parents camp site in Bath, NY.
The girl was at a park with her family in the Steuben County Town of Bath. Investigators say Samantha Williams wandered away from her family around six Thursday night.
Police brought in search dogs, but the dog lost her scent in the woods. So now, forest rangers, fire departments and police are doing all the searching. They’ve been rotating shifts every six hours to keep fresh and alert. As of Thursday night, police said they didn’t want the public’s help in the search. (9 SYR)
Ten Year Old Girl Missing
Chief David Rouse with the Bath Police Department tells WETM that Williams was wearing a purple shirt with the words “Mango Mania” on it. She also was wearing denim capri pants.
UPDATE I: GREAT NEWS from Upstate New York.
10 year old Samantha Williams has been found “alive and well”. This is great news.
“I have wonderful news,” Bath Police Chief David Rouse said late Friday morning, signaling the end of an intensive search for a child missing for nearly 17 hours. “Samantha Williams has been found, alive and well.”
The police chief’s announcement marked the end of anxious search for the 10-year-old girl by fire, environmental and law enforcement officials from across the region.
Samantha was reportedly located around 10 a.m. under the Interstate 86 Exit 39 underpass on Babcock Hollow Road, several miles east of where she went missing in Mossy Bank Park Thursday evening.

A 24 year old man was reported missing aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Freedom of the Seas, on Monday. The cruise ship was sailing from Miami to San Juan, PR before it reversed direction to look for the missing passenger.
A Royal Caribbean cruise ship turned around Monday to help authorities search for a passenger who was reported missing.
Royal Caribbean says the 24-year-old unidentified man was last seen on a balcony in his room aboard the Freedom of the Seas early Monday morning.
He was reported missing several hours later.
Cruise Ship Passenger Missing
The 24-year-old unidentified man was last seen on a balcony in his room aboard the Freedom of the Seas about 1:45 a.m. Monday, according to the Royal Caribbean statement. He was reported missing at about 8:30 a.m.
The man may have been intoxicated, said U.S. Coast Guard spokesman Dana Warr. Is there a reason why that cruise ships cannot be held to the same standards as local bars? Why is it that passengers are allowed to get so intoxicated on cruise ships and we consistently hear stories of people going overboard. At some point some responsibility does fall on the cruise line.
UPDATE I: FBI probing missing cruise ship passenger
Brent Smith, 24, was last seen around 1:45 a.m. Monday on his stateroom balcony aboard the Freedom of the Seas, owned by Royal Caribbean International. Relatives reported him missing around 8:30 a.m., according to a cruise ship statement.
The ship turned around at that point to search for Smith, who was traveling with his brother, Matthew Smith, and his brother’s girlfriend, said FBI spokesman Harry Rodriguez. Coast Guard crews launched a search as well. (MSNBC)
Brent Smith
UPDATE II: Coast Guard Suspends Search for Missing N.C. Man
The U.S. Coast Guard said it has suspended its search for a North Carolina man who went missing from a cruise ship.
Brent Smith, 24, was last seen at around 1:45 a.m. Monday on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line vessel Freedom of the Seas. He was on the cruise with members of his family.
Coast Guard officials said a pair of sandals belonging to Smith were found on the deck of the cruise ship, but there was no sign of him.
UPDATE III: Service Set for Man Missing From Cruise Ship
There is no body and no real answers, but a Wayne County family will hold a memorial service Tuesday for a man who is missing from a cruise ship and is feared dead.
In a phone interview Monday, the FBI, which doesn’t investigate missing persons cases, said its agents were still poring over evidence just to make sure there had been no foul play.
“The FBI evidence response team processed the cabin that was secured once the victim was discovered missing aboard the ship,” Agent Henry Rodriguez said. The FBI also said agents had looked at copies of videotape taken from security cameras aboard the ship

18 year old Randle Terry had been missing since Tuesday, May 29, 2007 while swimming in Spring Creek near Riley Fuzzel Road. Volunteer members of Texas Equusearch joined the efforts to help find the missing Terry.
Texas EquuSearch crews used boats to search the water.
“The current is not as strong as I thought it was going to be,” said Tim Miller with Texas EquuSearch. “The waters went down considerably since yesterday, so all we need now is a little bit of luck and a lot of prayers.”
The Coast Guard and local law enforcement agencies searched the area until about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, and then again on Wednesday but found nothing.
Searchers said the water is very murky and about 20 feet deep because of recent rainfall.
The searched turned into a recovery mission by Wednesday afternoon. Volunteers believe Terry’s body is near where he was last seen.
“Normally, they don’t go too far. But, we do realize we’ve got quite a current here,” Miller said.
However, on Thursday the body of Randle Terry was found by members of Texas Equusearch in Spring Creek.
TES crew members have found the body of Randle Terry about a mile from where he went underwater in the creek. We pray that this family can now find the peace and begin to heal as they find ways to deal with this tragedy. We wish to thank everyone for their genuine care and concern to find this young man. A special thank you to all of our members who continue to dedicate themselves for such a tough job. Thank you to all of Randle’s classmates, teachers, family and friends that came to support each other. May you all continue to stay close and keep each other through this difficult time and always. God Bless you all.
This beautiful photo was provided by Carolyn Mitchell. Randle’s family wanted us to share this photo with you all. May You Rest In Peace. (TES)
