A 16 year old Helena girl Deanna Niven was been missing since Sunday evening, April 12, 2009 in Alabaster, AL. Deanna Niven was last seen at the Alabaster Walmart where she left at approximately 6:30 pm. When DeAnna did not return home and her parents could not contact her, they began searching for their daughter. When they arrived at the Walmart her family discovered Deanna’s van with her cell phone inside.
Police are currently looking for a vehicle in connection with the disappearance of 
Deanna Niven. There is reason to believe Deanna could have left in an older model silver Dodge Caravan.
Through images captured on surveillance video it is believed that Deanna Niven possibly willingly entered a van of another individual in the parking lot. The man in the vehicle appeared to be a man in his 20’s.
It’s believed that other individual is a man in his 20′s. Surveillance video shows what is believed to be either a silver 1996 to 2000 Plymouth Voyager or a 1995 to 2008 Chrysler Town and Country or Dodge Caravan. There are still a lot of unanswered questions, but Lt. Anthony says police are focusing on just one right now, “what’s most important right now is we find her and make sure that she is safe.”

Though the Oxford Community Police canvassed the neighbourhood and performed an extensive ground search, the OPP was knocking on doors once again over the weekend.
The Under Water Search and Recovery Unit (USRU) scoured waterways in Woodstock, using a sonar device on a pond close to Victoria’s school and other small bodies of water. So far, they haven’t found anything.
“I feel confident. Not that I didn’t before, you know, but I feel better that there’s fresh eyes,” McDonald added

Metropolitan police and the Howard University Police Department declined to comment, due to Duncan’s wish for privacy, but Duncan’s mother, Terry Ellenberg, did speak about how pleased she was after receiving word of her son’s whereabouts.
“I’m very happy right now,” Ellenburg said. “I haven’t seen him yet, but I’m about to go to see if I can find him where I was told he was seen.”

The parents of Christopher Robin Coan finally know what happened to their son.
18 year old Christopher Robin Coan had been missing since September 3, 2007 when he was last seen leaving his job at a Subway sandwich shop in Enoch, Iron County, Monday evening.
Coan was reported missing by his girlfriend on Tuesday. There has been no bank activity and authorities are beginning to worry Coan may have met with foul play. Enoch police contacted the FBI for assistance in the case.
An airplane has been searching the high-country desert around Cedar City and Enoch for any sign of Coan’s SUV, a 1994 red and silver-colored Chevrolet S-10 Blazer with a temporary tag. Police said the SUV has three stickers in the back. One says “Jerry Bear,” another says “The Wizz cartoon,” and the third says “Beatles.”
An interesting story was written in March 2008, six months after Christopher Robin Coan had gone missing. Police believed that Coan did not want to be found and that he was living in another area.
But Enoch Police Chief Dave Browning thinks Coan does not want to be found. Browning says the best information is that Coan ran away from his friends and family in Iron County and is living somewhere else.
The last clue as to Coan’s whereabouts came in January when an animal control officer in Silver City, N.M., reported seeing Coan’s Chevy S-10 Blazer with its distinctive stickers, Browning said. The vehicle was going through a car wash.
However, the Enoch police were wrong. The body of missing Christopher Robin Coan was found Thursday, April 9, 2009 when they discovered that Coan’s vehicle had rolled off a remote mountain road and tumbled 1,500 feet down a canyon.
