A Morgan Nick Amber Alert was issued late Tuesday (02/10/09) for 3 year old Dominick Wesley Arceneaux in Arkansas. The Ouachita County Sheriff Department are considering three possibilities: the boy fell in the lake, he wandered off and got lost in the woods, or he was kidnapped. However, authorities are leaning toward the possibility that Dominick Wesley Arceneaux was kidnapped from his Chidester home Tuesday afternoon.
Dominick Wesley Arceneaux Description:
- white with a dark complexion
- 3 feet tall
- 38 pounds
- brown eyes
- short brown hair
- The child was wearing a pair of blue jean shorts with red stitching on the pockets
For nearly six hours Wednesday, the Game and Fish dive team searched the shoreline of White Oak Lake. Arceneaux was last seen behind his family’s mobile home, which is only 50 feet away from the lake.
Sheriff David Norwood say he was playing with the family dog and his wheelbarrow around two o’clock Tuesday afternoon. He went inside to remove his shoes and five minutes later, his mother and aunt, who were inside the home, heard silence. They went outside and discovered the boy had vanished.
If anyone has any information regarding missing Dominick Wesley Arceneaux, please contact the Ouachita County Sheriff’s Department at (870) 837-2200.

UPDATE I: National Center for Missing & Exploited Children get involved in missing 3 year old Arkansas Boy case.
UPDATE II: Search Intensifies for Missing 3-Year-Old Arkansas Boy
Local, state and federal agents, along with members of the National Guard and volunteers, have joined the hunt for the boy — but without success.
Sheriff David Norwood said Friday afternoon there was still no hint of what may have happened to the toddler.
“We’re following anything we can,” Norwood said. “It would be different if we knew he’d been kidnapped, where you can take your efforts away from searching the lake, searching the woods. You could focus on finding a car or whatever other clues were available.”
The Arkansas National Guard has designed a grid search of 60 soldiers to blanket the area, Norwood said.
UPDATE III: Arkansas National Guard Search while FBI agents questioning every sex offender in a 40-mile radius
The issue may not be so much that the bar was closed at the time Dominick Arceneaux went missing, but the individuals who may have previously frequented the bar and previously saw the 3 year old boy.
Dominick’s grandmother, Martha Cortez, who drove in from Louisiana earlier this week, said she is suspicious of the bar near the family’s trailer. The Wild Horse Saloon is owned by her sister and brother-in-law. The bar gave her a bad feeling.
“I just feel like – something right there – at that barroom,” Cortez said without finishing her thought.
Jack Mitchell, who owns the bar, said earlier this week that it was closed Monday and Tuesday.
UPDATE IV: Sad Conclusion, Body found identified as missing Dominick Arceneaux
Searchers on Wednesday found the body of a 3-year-old Chidester boy missing for more than a week, only a few hundred feet down the shoreline from where his mother kept an anxious vigil on White Oak Lake.
Ouachita County Sheriff David Norwood told The Associated Press that rescuers found the body of Dominick Arceneaux, barefoot and clad in blue jean shorts, floating in the water around 11:45 a.m. Dominick’s body rested on the water only 10 feet from the shore, Norwood said.
Dominick’s body was taken to the state Crime Laboratory in Little Rock for an autopsy.

27 year old Nicole Vanzant has been missing since Monday, January 19, 2009 from 
Menifee County, KY. Nicole Vanzant was last seen at the Dollar General Story in Frenchburg, KY. She supposedly was in a car with a friend and got into an argument and apparently got out of the vehicle. Nicole Vanzant was last seen wearing a white sweater, blue jeans, a leather jacket, pearl earrings and cowboy boots.
Police have questioned an ex-boyfriend who was the last person to see Nicole Vanzant. Vanzant has a four year old son and is considered responsible. Family says that she would have called if she went anywhere. Some one has an argument with another in a car, gets out of the vehicle and is never seen again? That in itself sound a bit of a reach.
Vanzant’s family say she has a four-year-old son, is very responsible and has never left without calling first. They say she was not carrying a cell phone or any cash when she disappeared.
Police say they have questioned the last person to see Vanzant, an ex-boyfriend, but have not yet developed any solid leads into her whereabouts. They say they have declared her a missing person.

An elderly couple has gone missing aboard the Carnival Paradise that set sail from Long Beach, CA. A 90 year old man and his 79 year old wife were last seen Tuesday, January 13, 2009 aboard the Carnival Paradise. They are presumed to have gone overboard. The couple’s names and hometowns have not been released. Their cabin door was double locked from the inside with a “do not disturb” sign hanging on the door handle. It is also being reported that the door to the balcony from their room was unlocked.
A statement released overnight by Carnival says the 90-year-old man and his 79-year-old wife were aboard the Carnival Paradise when it set sail from Long Beach, Calif., on Monday but could not be found when the ship returned Friday.
“Their cabin door was double locked from the inside with a do not disturb sign on the handle and the door leading from the cabin to the balcony was unlocked,” the statement says. “The couple’s personal belongings remained inside the cabin.”
Carnival says all proper authorities have been notified, including the U.S. Coast Guard and FBI, and the cruise line is providing full assistance.
The Coast Guard has suspended the search for the elderly couple who are believed to have fallen overboard.
The Coast Guard suspended its search Saturday for an elderly couple believed to have fallen off a cruise ship between Long Beach and northern Mexico.
The aerial search for the 90-year-old man and his 79-year-old wife was halted after officials determined that their chances of surviving in the water were slim, said Chief Warrant Officer Scott Epperson.
“Factoring in their age and weights, their survivability in 59 degrees water was about 4 to 6 hours,” he said. “The last time they were seen was 84 hours ago.”

UPDATE I: Husband Passes Lie Detector Test, Pleads For Their Return
An hour later, Douglas Schafer, 42, left with a police escort without talking to reporters, a far cry from Friday morning, when he was telling CBS 2 HD about the wife he confronted moments before she disappeared.
“I said I knew you were taking money from me. I walked up in the bedroom and I came back down and within five, 10 minutes she was gone,” Douglas Schafer said. “With the children.”
“I called some family members and they said they hadn’t spoken to her in months because she had stolen some checks from them,” Schafer said.
Those who live nearby were stunned, while some were skeptical.
“I can’t see why she’d run away,” neighbor Tom Cavezza said, adding he didn’t really think it was possible that she ran away. “No, ah, it’s possible. I don’t know. I don’t know.”
Schafer said his wife left her cell phone here at the home, and took money before she left.
UPDATE II: Missing N.J. mother, 2 children found in Towson, MD
A New Jersey mother and her children were found unharmed in Maryland just days after they disappeared from home.
Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi said Patricia Schafer, her 13-year-old son and three-year-old daughter were leaving Towson Town Center yesterday when Baltimore County police stopped them.
Schafer will be charged with interfering with the custody of the children and will remain jailed in Maryland pending an extradition hearing. It was not immediately clear if she had retained an attorney.
UPDATE III: East Hanover mother who disappeared with kids facing theft charge; Psychiatric evaluation required; $250K bail to be reviewed today
An East Hanover mother who whisked her two children off to Maryland without telling her husband is facing charges of stealing from a relative and may have falsely claimed to be receiving chemotherapy for esophageal cancer, according to court records released Thursday.
Goldblatt Terrace resident Patricia Schafer, 37, is charged with interfering with custody by allegedly depriving her husband Douglas Schafer, who is the father of their children, of parenting time with their 3-year-old daughter and 13-year-old son, and of keeping secret the whereabouts of their children.
The charge applies even to married couples such as the Schafers if one parent deliberately keeps the children from the other for a prolonged period of time.
