Gallatin High School has been charged with 6 counts of statutory rape by an authority figure. Holly Hatcher has admitted to having an ongoing relationship with the student in her Nashville, TN home.
Court documents indicate that Hatcher, who lives in the Donelson area, and the teenager had sex in Gallatin and in Nashville. Police said the pair had sex on six occasions.
Police began investigating her after receiving information from Gallatin police.

According to reports, Michael Devlin will plead guilty next week in the 
kidnapping, attempted murder and and sexual assault. The case of Michael Devlin, the unassuming former Pizza manager, is an amazing story of hiding in plain sight. The blessing to this plea deal is that neither boy, William “Ben” Ownby nor Shawn Hornbeck will have to relive in a court room what happened to them and Michael Devlin will be taken out of society and away from our children for most likely life. This is probably the best outcome when we consider what is best for Shawn and Ben and their futures.
Washington County prosecutor John Rupp said Michael Devlin will plead guilty to all charges there in the 2002 kidnapping of Shawn Hornbeck and will be sentenced Tuesday.
Devlin was arrested in January after police found Shawn and Ben Ownby at Devlin’s apartment in the St. Louis County town of Kirkwood.
Loyd Bailie, Ben’s uncle, told The Associated Press on Friday that the family had been briefed by prosecutors that Devlin will plead guilty next week in all four jurisdictions where he is charged: three Missouri counties and federal court. He said he did not know whether Devlin would plead guilty to all of the more than 80 felony charges against him, several of which carry life sentences. (Philadelphia Inquirer)
The bizarre case of Michel Devlin started in the case of the kidnapping of Ben Ownby only to later learn that Devlin was also responsible for the earlier kidnapping of Shawn Hornbeck. William Ownsby was kidnapped and an AMBER ALERT was issued for the missing 13 year old boy after a witness saw the boy pushed into a white pickup truck. When the miraculous news occurred that William “Ben” Ownby was found safe and alive, no one could have imagined at the time that Shawn Hornbeck, who had been missing since 2002, would be found as well. Michael Devlin had in fact kidnapped both boys and had been charged by police with kidnapping and numerous other sexual molestation charges. The multiple sodomy charges were too numerous to list. The guilty plea will take this heinous individual off the streets and away from our children for life.
Michael Devlin Will Plead Guilty To All Charges Monday

Convicted sex offender, John Steven Burgess, was in a California court to face charges for 
failing to register as a sex offender while he was living in Los Angeles, CA. According to authorities, Burgess is refusing to talk. Why would he? Does anyone think he is going to confess to a murder when all they have him on is drug possession and failing to report as a sex offender? What do police officials think Burgess is going to say, “Oh yea officer, by the way I am guilty of murder as well?” While we are on the subject, LAPD, who is searching for Donna Joe?
While Burgess has not been charged in the disappearance of Donna Jou, 19, a prosecutor said he is considered a suspect in the case. He has also refused to talk to investigators, according to authorities.
Burgess was arrested late last month in Jacksonville, Fla., after police there say they spotted him trying to dispose of a bag of crack cocaine outside a Motel 6. He pleaded guilty to a third-degree felony charge for possession of crack in Florida and waived extradition to California last week, said George Bird Jr., his attorney. (NBC San Diego)

According to Texas EquuSearch, they are planing to go to California this Wednesday, August 1, 2007 to help search for the missing 19 year old Donna Jou. Donna has not been heard from since June 23, 2007 when she attended a party. The family of Donna Jou contacted TES in hopes that they may be able to help find Donna Jou.
Texas EquuSearch stated that they look forward working with law enforcement to help aide in the process of bringing the missing Donna Jou home to her family. Its Texas EquuSearch’s motto, “You are not Alone,” and TES hopes that between the family, law enforcement and themselves, they can bring a resolution to this missing persons case and Donna Jou home to her family.
Recently 35-year-old John Burgess was arrested in Florida on separate charges; however, he remains a prime suspect in Donna Jou’s disappearance.
Sex offender arrested in coed’s disappearance
A registered sex offender sought in connection with the disappearance of 19-year-old Donna Jou of Rancho Santa Margarita was in custody in Florida today, but her whereabouts remain unknown.
John Burgess, 35, who calls himself SinJin Stevens and has his mother and other relatives in Florida, was arrested Tuesday in Jacksonville after he was seen on a bicycle near a motel dropping a clear plastic bag that officials said contained rock cocaine.
Missing teen’s father, Reza Jou, begs for help
Anguishing about his daughter’s disappearance more than a month ago, Reza Jou asked Monday for the governors of California and Florida to expedite the extradition of a convicted sex offender who could know the teen’s whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Burgess isn’t cooperating with Orange County investigators from California who interviewed him in Florida about Jou’s disappearance.
Jou’s father wants Burgess taken to Los Angeles for questioning. Reza Jou asked attorneys general, governors and Burgess’ mother to intervene.
“He is in jail in Jacksonville, Fla., using his constitutional right not to speak about my daughter’s whereabouts,” Jou said. “This is a very urgent matter. My child’s life is in danger.”
Jou said he’d received no response to his urgent plea, but The Daily News contacted California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s office for comment.

19 year old Donna Jou has been missing since June 23, 2007. Now it appears that there may be a break in the case. Police in Florida have arrested sec offender, John Stevens Burgess. Jacksonville police spotted John Stevens Burgess trying to dispose of a bag of crack cocaine outside a Motel 6. Burgess is also a person of interest in the disappearance of Donna Jou.
(John Steven Burgess arrested)
Police in Jacksonville, Fla., arrested John Steven Burgess, 35, who also goes by the name Sinjin Stevens, on a drug charge Tuesday, Jim Amormino, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office in Orange County, Calif., confirmed to ABC News.
Burgess, a convicted sex offender, is a person of interest in the disappearance of Donna Jou, a 19-year-old who had just finished her freshman year at San Diego State University and who met Burgess on the Web site Craig’s List. (ABC)
Man arrested in Florida in case of Orange County missing student
Amormino said homicide investigators from Orange County were in Florida, where Burgess is currently being held on a drug charge and for failing to register as a sex offender.
Burgess has not been charged in connection with Jou’s disappearance, but authorities remain suspicious.
“This is another very suspicious act,” Amormino said. “He is clear across the country and he chose not to speak with investigators.”

UPDATE I: Truck Found In Florida In Case Of Missing OC Woman
Police have found the missing truck of a man arrested in Florida. He is wanted for questioning in the disappearance of a 19-year-old San Diego State coed.
Orange County sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino says extensive media coverage of Burgess’ arrest led an anonymous tipster to call police with the location of the man’s 1998 blue Ford Ranger truck. Amormino says the truck was found in the Jacksonville area and is being processed by forensic investigators.
Truck is located in hunt for O.C. teen
“Forensic personnel are going through that truck with a fine-tooth comb in an attempt to locate any type of evidence which may lead us to [Jou's] whereabouts or what might have happened to her,” Amormino said.
Jou and Burgess apparently met on Craigslist.com. She was last seen June 23, when Burgess allegedly picked her up for a date at her mother’s Rancho Santa Margarita home and took her to a party at his rented West Los Angeles home, authorities said.
On July 8, the license plate of a pickup truck and a motorcycle helmet belonging to Burgess were found – along with rope, rubber gloves and a scrubbing brush – near railroad tracks about 1 1/2 miles from his house. (LA Times)

42 year old Terapon Adhahn, accused child rapists and sex offender, will be charged with 
aggravated murder for the kidnapping and killing of 12-year-old Zina Linnik
Facing a possible death sentence if convicted, Adhahn will be arraigned Monday on the murder charge. Zina was abducted from her family’s Tacoma neighborhood July 4 and later found dead in east Pierce County.
Adhahn currently faces 12 felony counts related to the rape of two other girls. He pleaded not guilty Thursday to 10 rape counts, a kidnapping charge and a charge of failing to register as a sex offender.
As Terapon Adhahn pleaded not guilty to the charges before him; investigators are looking to Terapon’s past to see just how many other children he may have sexually assaulted, raped and murdered.
Adhahn, a 42-year-old handyman and former Army Ranger, pleaded not guilty to 12 felony counts accusing him of repeatedly raping two girls, and failing to register as a sex offender after a 1990 incest conviction.
So much for the Judges in this country who believe that these predators will not repeat their crimes.
Mr. Adhahn is suspected in the murder of one young girl in the Tacoma area and is a “person of interest” in the death of another girl, according KING-TV in Seattle. He has also been charged with the 2000 kidnapping and rape of an 11-year-old girl who was found duct taped to a tree in the Seattle area and with the rape of another girl. (Dallas News)
The search for potential other victims continues. Did Terapon Adahn kill Amber Hagerman also?
Nine-year-old Amber Hagerman disappeared while riding her bicycle near her grandparents’ house in 1996. Her body was found four days after she vanished.
The search for victims has spread as far as Texas, where investigators are trying to determine whether Adhahn is responsible for the 1996 slaying that inspired the national “Amber Alert” missing-child notification system.
In the Pierce County case, investigators believe Adhahn sexually assaulted one girl at least 150 times — once at gunpoint — during the four years she lived with him at a Spanaway home. He also faces charges in the 2000 abduction and rape of an 11-year-old Tacoma girl who was left bound and bleeding in a remote, wooded section of Fort Lewis.
After Thursday’s court hearing, Loni Rasmussen, younger sister of the Fort Lewis victim, said finally seeing the man accused of brutalizing her sister seven years ago inspired fear and anger, and also relief.
“I hate what he did to my sister,” Rasmussen said. (Seattle PI)
So how is this child predator linked to the death of Amber Hagerman?
Amber disappeared Jan. 13, 1996. Her body was found four days later.
Adhahn’s mother and brother live in nearby Forth Worth, but it is not known whether Adhahn was in the area when Amber vanished. Court documents indicate Adhahn attended a sex-offenders group meeting in Tacoma on Jan. 9, 1996, four days before Amber disappeared. He also attended a group meeting in Tacoma on Jan. 16, a day before her body was found.
UPDATE I: Adhahn may be linked to 1995 abduction
Is it possible that Adhahn could be linked to crimes that took place as far back as 1995? Could Terapon Adhahn be connected in a 1995 abduction and assault of a 21 year old convenience store clerk? According to records, Terapon Adhahn was living seven blocks away from the convenience store where the clerk was abducted in November 1995. Abhahn also attended a group therapy session for sex offenders in Tacoma hours before the abduction took place. Coincidence or connected?
Tacoma police are investigating whether Terapon Adhahn was involved in the 1995 abduction, assault and shooting of a 21-year-old convenience store clerk.
The woman, who was left for dead near Fort Lewis Golf Course, now says she believes her attacker may have been the man charged this week with abducting and killing a 12-year-old girl who was snatched from an alley behind her family’s Tacoma home on July 4th. (KOMO-TV)

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.
