After 8 years on the National Registry for Missing and Exploited Children, on Tuesday a 12 year old girl was found at Malvern Junior High School.
Malvern Police say Nathalie Garcia was taken from San Antonio, Texas by her biological mother in 1997, when she was just 5 years old. Police say the mother did not have custody of her, because of a previous incarceration, and later kidnapped her during a visitation.
The 8 year old case was cracked on Tuesday, when Garcia’s classmate, Jessica Coman noticed her photograph on a pamphlet from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
“I`m like proud of myself, but I think what if something bad happens to her. What if she`s not happy? It kind of makes me feel guilty,” said classmate Jessica Coman.
“I think this defines her by who she is and who she`ll become, by something she did at 12 years old — I`m amazed,” said Coman’s mother Angie.

Debra Lafave, 25, the former Florida teacher pleaded guilty today in a plea agreement to 
having sex with a 14-year-old male student. In the plea agreement Debra LaFave will avoid prison but will serve three years house arrest and seven years probation.
Debra Lafave, 25, will serve three years of house arrest and seven years’ probation. She pleaded guilty to two counts of lewd and lascivious battery. The former Greco Middle School reading teacher apologized during the hearing, saying “I accept full responsibility for my actions.”
The boy told investigators the two had sex in a classroom at the Greco school, located in Temple Terrace near Tampa, in her Riverview town house and once in a vehicle while his 15-year-old cousin drove them around Marion County.
Hillsborough Circuit Judge Wayne Timmerman said LaFave also will forever lose her teaching certificate, must register with the state as a sexual predator, may not have any contact with children including the victim, and will not be allowed to profit from the sale of her story or personal appearances.
Fox News: “I accept full responsibility for my actions,” Greco Middle School teacher Debra Lafave, 25, said during Tuesday’s trial in Tampa. (video of plea available)
I guess this is another variation of a double standard.

This means she will avoid any jail time.
Her charges run consecutively, with a total of probation for 10 years.
After she serves the two years of community control, she can come back to court and ask the court to convert her third year of community control to probation.
The Hillsborough County Prosecutor Mike Sinacore says they state agreed to this deal at the request of the victim’s mother who wanted to spare her son from testifying.

According to court papers filed on Monday by prosecutors, Kara Borden, the 14-year-
old girl whose 18-year-old boyfriend is accused of killing her parents left with him willingly after he shot them. However, there is still no evidence that Kara knew of David Ludwig’s plan.
David Ludwig told detectives Kara Borden ran from her home and into his car after he shot her parents Nov. 13, and Borden said she went with him of her own free will, according to documents filed by Lancaster County prosecutors. They said kidnapping charges against Ludwig would be dropped.
Ludwig confessed to the killings, saying he shot the parents after the father told him to stop seeing his daughter, according to the filing. Ludwig said he shot Michael Borden in the back as he was going down the hallway to the front door and then headed toward Cathryn Borden.
Ludwig confessed to authorities saying the following:
“I shot mom as she was sitting in the chair,” Ludwig was quoted as saying. “It was an intentional murder, I intended to shoot them, and I did.”
(Full story)
CNN: Affidavit: Girl willingly left with parents’ alleged killer
(CNN) — A 14-year-old Pennsylvania girl saw her boyfriend kill her father, then fled the scene with the 18-year-old to “get as far away as possible, get married and start a new life,” prosecutors alleged in court papers filed Monday.
What on earth were these kids thinking?
According to authorities, Ludwig and Michael Borden got into a 30- to 45-minute argument in which the father said Ludwig was no longer allowed to see his 14-year-old daughter, Kara. Ludwig told authorities he went to the home armed with multiple weapons, according to the court papers.
The girl “observed the defendant pull out a gun and shoot her father,” the document says. “As she fled from the house, [she] then saw the defendant turn and point his gun towards her mother.”

Wallace Arthur Manasseh Richards, a 23 year old resident of Berkeley, CA has been missing since November 10, 2005. Family members filled out a missing persons report Saturday with the Berkeley Police Department. Detectives called the disappearance “a bit out of character for the guy.”
23-year-old Berkeley man who vanished six days ago have posted hundreds of missing person fliers in hopes that someone has a clue to his whereabouts.
Wallace Arthur Manasseh Richards has not been seen since 11 a.m. Thursday, when he dropped off a friend at her job at Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club on Kearny Street in San Francisco.
Richards was driving the friend’s 2003 Mercedes Benz C240 because he had agreed to take it to the dealer for an oil change. He was supposed to return to the club at 7:30 p.m. Thursday to pick her up from work.
He never showed up and has not been seen or heard from since.
“That’s not like Wallace, he’s really trustworthy. If a friend asks him to do a favor, he does it,” said his mother, Belinda Richards, from her Berkeley home where she has run a day care center for 20 years.

John Ryan, 31, of Erie was found a few hundred yards from the boundaries of the Keystone ski resort.
A snowboarder survived three days lost in the back-country wilderness by building a shelter of pine boughs as temperatures dropped into the low teens, his rescuers said.
John Ryan, 31, of Erie was found a few hundred yards from the boundaries of the Keystone ski resort, where he had gone riding alone Wednesday, said Mike Schmitt, spokesman for Summit County Search and Rescue.
“Whatever he did, he did something right to stay alive these last three days,” Schmitt said. Friends said he was in good condition
AP: Snowboarder Says He Prayed While Lost
When all else fails sometimes all you can do is pray. Seemed to work for John Ryan.
His rescuers credited snowboarder John Ryan with doing all the right things to survive three days lost in the mountains outside a ski resort area, but he doubts he would have made it through another night.
“I did a lot of praying up there, praying that I would see my family again,” Ryan, 31, said Sunday in a telephone interview from his bed at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. “I had no idea exactly where I was.”
He was found Saturday, three days after he wandered outside the boundary of the Keystone Ski Resort into an area known as Jones Gulch, at around 11,000 feet. When he didn’t show up for work at the Pump-house Brewery in Longmont on Thursday night he was reported missing by his wife, Karyn, and fellow employees.

TEXAS EQUUSEARCH RETURNING TO ARUBA
Also, Tim Miller and TES will be returning to Aruba to continue the search for Natalee Holloway in the next couple of weeks. Although initial reports state that the equipment is not coming from the FBI; however, TES was able to secure a boat, equipment and divers that can go 12,000 feet below.

Carlie Brucia verdict has just been announced … Guilty on all charges … Jurors deciding fate of Joseph P. Smith, accused of kidnapping, raping and killing Carlie Brucia 
A jury reached its verdict Thursday in the murder trial of a former mechanic charged with kidnapping, raping and killing Carlie Brucia, whose abduction was caught by a security camera.
CNN: Conviction in taped abduction case
Joseph Smith was found guilty Thursday of kidnapping, raping and killing 11-year-old Carlie Brucia in a case that made worldwide news when the police disseminated a videotape of Smith abducting the girl outside a car wash.
Jurors deliberated briefly before delivering their verdict after the prosecutor, in closing arguments Wednesday, said a “mountain” of evidence pointed to the guilt of the former auto mechanic.
With the mountain of evidence against Smith and the shameful and disgusting acts he did to 
this poor innocent child; no penalty he receives is vindication to what he did. Thank the jury for not seeing through any of the pathetic attempts of smoke screens by Smith’s defense attorneys. GUILTY, GOOD RIDDANCE.
Earlier Wednesday, Tebrugge played a videotape of Smith’s brother, John, asking about reward money in an effort to discredit the brother’s testimony.
John Smith tearfully told jurors that his sibling had confessed to “rough sex” with the girl and to killing her, and then told him where the body was. After the prosecution began its closing argument, Carlie’s mother, Sue Schorpen, left the courtroom in tears. She rarely attended the trial.
Carlie Brucia, rest in peace and God bless the family.
