He has been reunited with his family.

Olivia Smith: Amber Alert for baby from Oklahoma Found

UPDATE 7/18/14 - Sophia has been found.

According to the police ion Seminole, Texas, Cindy Findley and Jennifer Skousen had permission to transport Sophia.  The event began when Cindy and Jennifer went to Sophia's grandmother's house where Sophia was at and told the grandmother they had the paperwork to take Sophia and Sophia's mother, who is incarcerated, wanted the baby to be taken care of by the former step-mother.

The grandmother  did not know anything about any paperwork and she said that Cindy and Jennifer who are her sister-in-laws, took Sophia and left.

Kingfisher County Undersheriff stated that the paperwork the women had would not hold up in Oklahoma.

"This was orchestrated and we were deliberately fed misinformation by other family members, so the women (Cindy and Jennifer) could get to Texas with the baby where that paperwork may have held up."

Evidently, Cindy and/or Jennifer called the Sheriff's office a few days prior to ask if the paperwork was enough to take the baby and the Sheriff's office said no.

Sid Findley, husband of Cindy Findley, issued the following statement:

“An Amber Alert was issued on Thursday, July 17 for the removal of five-month-old Olivia Smith from her relatives’ home in Cashion, Oklahoma.

“The facts are the following: my wife, Cindy Findley, and my sister-in-law Jennifer Skousen are concerned, first and foremost, about the safety of the five-month-old baby Olivia Smith. Olivia’s mother had signed legal documents authorizing the removal of the child. Baby Olivia was being taken out of a dangerous environment.

Unfortunately, a private family matter escalated because the accusing individual maliciously and falsely issued an Amber Alert and made misleading statements to the media in order to escalate the private family matter.

“We are happy Baby Olivia is now in safe hands and out of a dangerous environment. We appreciate everyone’s concern and respectfully ask to be able to keep this personal family matter private at this time. It is unfortunate that inaccurate and misleading remarks covered by the media have created false impressions of my wife and our family. We hope the public will take this into consideration and we thank you all for your understanding.”

I have not heard anything from the grandmother on whether Sophia was in an unsafe environment or not.  And the above is strictly Sid's opinion.  I do not believe enough facts have come out in order to call the grandmother's home a bad environment or not. 



Remember early on in the story the Amber Alert stated that Findley had a mental condition.  I don't think the police would put that in an Amber Alert without some type of verification.

Charges may or may not be made against Cindy and or Jennifer, and will be decided by the DA. 

Previous Story:  Olivia Smith, 5-months-old from Cashion, Oklahoma is believed to have been taken by her great-aunt, 48-year-old Cindy Findley from Spring, Texas.  Cindy showed up at Olivia's grandparents house unannounced on Thursday and took Olivia.  They may be in Kansas heading towards Utah.   Findley has a mental condition and made comments about having a vision of the child dying in two days.

Cindy could be driving a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe with Texas license plate BYZ-3364. The SUV has a black over brown color.

Smith is 2 feet and 1 inch tall weighing 13 pounds with blue eyes and brown hair. Findley has shoulder-length blonde hair and blue eyes, she stands 5 feet and 7 inches tall and weighs 125 pounds

Is this a missing child being held by a Gypsy?

I received a message from a follower of MPofA.  She wants everyone to know about a 3-year-old boy who was photographed in Greece that was with a Gypsy.  

The boy appears to be 3-4 years old.  His eyes are closed in the photo, so you cannot see what color they are, but he has blond hair and eyebrows with light skin.  

According to the email that she received the boy is being used by the Gypsy, by the Gypsy receiving money whenever anyone takes a photo of the child. 

"On July 9, 2014, in Nafplio (Greece). He was found in the corner of the streets Kileti str and Vas.Konstantinou. There is a souvenir shop in the corner of these streets. The owner of the shop told her, that this gipsy was vey often mentioned there but this boy was mentioned for the first time. The Russian tourist Natalia Filippova saw a white European boy (maybe a Slavonian) sleeping on the knees of an old gipsy beggar women. The boy is about 3 years old, not very much sunburnt, looks like having come to Greece recently. The way he was sleeping was unnatural, most likely he was under the influence of morphine. The only thing that has been done was taking a photo of the kid for money. The owner of the near-by shop has said something to the gipsy and in half an hour she was gone. Searching for this gipsy on the next day in that part of the city, where she was first seen, gave no result. The local residents report that the police of this city takes no measures in such cases. The best thing the police can do is to drive the gypsy out from the tourist zone. These same local residents said that they had repeatedly tried to inform the police about such cases, but each time it was useless."

This is another photo of the child with a different person.

 The rumor heard was that the child was 'from the new arrival.' 

The writer believes the child may have been kidnapped from his parents as his skin was light and not sunburned and he was not skinny.  

The information has been sent to the Nafplio police and to the Greek Ombudsman, the Greek charitable organization 'Child’s Smile' and several international organizations searching for the lost children.   Please tell everybody who see him in Greece call 1056 (this is number of company who helps children)."

Back in October 2013, social media tried to identify a blonde-haired little girl that was found.  She was a 4-year-old girl, named Maria and was found in a gypsy camp in Greece that many believed could have been Lisa Irwin.  The officials noted she had blonde hair and light eyes and didn't match the rest of the family.  DNA tests later proved that Sasha Ruseva, a Roma women living in Nikolaevo in central Bulgaria was the mother of Maria.  She gave birth to her in Greece while working as an olive picker on January 31, 2009, then gave her away when she was 7-months-old to her employers. Read more here.

Is there a young blond boy that has come up missing somewhere in the world and is now with this woman in Greece or is it another case of a Bulgaria child that was given away?

Body of missing mountain climber found preserved in ice after 32 years

Patrice's father Gerard holding a photo of his son

A French mountain guide whose fate has been a mystery for 32 years has been found. 

The body of 23-year-old Patrice Hyvert was found in a glacier on Mont Blanc where he set off on a solo trek on March 1, 1982, where he planed to climb to the summit and then ski down.

During his hike the weather changed drastically.  It began to snow and the winds covered the path up the mountain.  Patrice never made it to his destination and no one heard from him since.

Then on July 3, two climbers found remains on the mountain about half way up.  The Dauphine Libere reported the body was completely preserved in ice and authorities were able to preliminarily confirm it was Patrice by the ID found in his wallet.

Surprisingly, Patrice's father told RTL radio, "I would have preferred him to stay up there.  He was better on a mountain than in a coffin.  He was in his element."

Angelic "Anji" Dean: Missing teen from Camas left behind frightening note Found

UPDATE:  7/10/14 - Anji has been found at a mall in Happy Valley, Oregon by a Good Samaritan who tried to help Anji and notified officials.  A woman named Jennifer told KGW that Anji introduced herself as Anji but asked to be called, Daisy. 

"It is clear that the local and national news coverage as well as the widespread sharing of this family's story via social media such as Facebook and Twitter was integral in leading us to her safe return," Sgt. Kevin Allais told the press. "This is an active investigation that includes the crime of human trafficking. We will be continuing our investigation."

Previous story:  Angelic Tracy "Anji" Dean, 17,  has been missing from Camas, Washington since June 23. 

Her mother revealed that she left a message that said in part, "If you're reading this, I'm either missing or dead."

"She had been telling some people for a while that she was involved in something, that she was in over her head, that she was scared, but they couldn't get any more information than that our of her," Lynda Jorgenson, Anji's mother told the Camas Post Record.  A final text message she sent to her boyfriend read, "They were going to kill you and my family….and I loved you." 

Anji was last seen after she was dropped off at her home at 4:30 p.m. by a man.  He was driving a blue, Volvo/  The neighbors said the man was black, 25-35- years old with a goatee.  Police would like to talk to that man.

Anji left behind her cellphone, ID, band cards and eyeglasses, which leaves the police to believe that Anji meant to return home. 

Anji was last seen wearing black tights, white Nike tennis shoes with light green soles and a white razor-back tank top.  She may have a white backpack.

Nancy Jewell Cross: Former Transit Board Director missing in San Francisco Found

UPDATE:  6/3/14 - Nancy was found in Berkeley.  Police stated that she is homeless.  It is unknown how she became homeless.  And no mention what will happen to her next.

Previous story:
Nancy Jewell Cross, 94 is missing from San Francisco and was last seen Friday. 

Nancy was well known in the community as she attended transportation meetings in the 1990 and ran for office.  She got a seat on  the AC Transit Board of Directors in 1998, until she was ousted in a Nov. 2002 election.

In 2002 she stated, "If a person wants to develop ways and means for the public to have mobility without more vehicle miles traveled, she or he needs very much not to be personal car-dependent (habituated by having a current vehicle license and an in-house personal car immediately at hand), AND ALSO--some people would start this with "OR"-- TO HAVE TO get around reasonably efficiently in both common "chores" and a multitude of engagements local and remote, including but not limited to Oakland, Berkeley, Belmont, San Pablo, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Jose, even Redding, Seattle, Toronto, San Diego, Santa Monica, and Irvine, among other exotica.

In other words, I have no idea to limit my mobility, or independence in getting around, just to be personal car not dependent! For a Bart or AC Transit Director would-be peak performer, like me, there's no armchair substitute in experience for the challenge of attaining high mobility without private car dependence!"
 
Nancy was adamant about her cause and filed many lawsuits when she disagreed with the city.  Eventually, she was labeled a vexatious litigant after suing public officials and was not allowed to sue anymore. See documents here and here for more information.

Nancy uses a walker and is 5'4" tall and 115 pounds. She has white hair and was last seen wearing a blue sweatshirt and green skirt.

If you have any information on her whereabouts, please call the San Francisco police at 415-553-1071.

Erin Corwin: Missing from California

UPDATE 7/21/14 - New information has come out on the missing Erin Corwin's case that states that she may have met up with a man the day she went missing.

According to court documents Erin had planned to meet with her neighbor, Christopher Brandon Lee, 24, to spend a "special day together" on a hunting trip.

According to the "Statement of Probable Cause"  Jessica Threnthan, Erin's friend said that Erin and Lee were romantically involved and Erin may be pregnant with Lee's child.  Erin told Jessica that Lee was worried his wife would find out about it and divorce him.  Jessica also said that she knew that Erin and Lee were going on a day trip on June 28, 2014 to celebrate Erin's pregnancy.  Jessica forwarded text messages from Erin to support this information.  They had planed to go about two hours from 29 Palms and take her hunting. 

Authorities believe that it is likely Erin could have been harmed by an unknown firearm.  They also no that Erin's phone had been turned off. 

The police spoke with Lee but he said they knew each other and had kissed but that was it.  Lee told authorities that he had been hunting at Joshua Tree National Park on June 28 around 7:30 a.m. but he was not with Erin.  He was home around 4 p.m. 

Lee moved to Alaska last week, according to a friend.

Lee was arrested as a result of a search warrant in "an ongoing investigation," but the police would not state whether it was tied to Erin's disappearance.

UPDATE 7/16/14 -  New information has come out via an eyewitness.  According to Michael Beasley, he told CBS 8 news that he lived on Baddad Highway near where Erin's car was found.  He stated he saw Eric "rendezvous" with a man at that same location near Valle Vista and Ranch Roads around 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 28.

He detailed that he saw her get out of her car and lock it and then get into a red, compact sedan with a man behind the wheel.  They drove away together.  He saw no indication that it was anything other than voluntarily.

"They were just sitting and chatting.  If she wanted to get out of the car and say, "I don't want to be in this car,' she could have," Beasley told CBS-8.

"When I cam back a half-hour later, just the car was sitting there.  Next thing, I hear the weekend goes by and Monday morning the sheriffs are there looking for this girl because she ain't home yet."

Jessica Beasley, Michael Beasley's sister also said she saw the blue car.  Although she thought the car might have been moved before the authorities found it.   Both Jessica and Michael believe Erin's car might have been moved farther from the road after the "rendezvous."

The description of the man in the red car is about 5'9" tall, with short hair. 

UPDATE:  7/12/14 - After wondering for several weeks, about where Erin's car was found that information has come out.  According to CBS News,  it was a water district employee who found Erin's car on Monday, June 30.  It was located about two miles from her home on base at the intersection of Valle Vista Rd. and Ranch Rd.

Tamara Alaniz told CBS News that the employee who has not identified said, “I recall him saying it was parked off the road. It's off the beaten path unless you're going to the base or you live near the base,” Alaniz said.  “The significant news coverage definitely contributed to him recognizing the car and reporting it to the (San Bernardino) sheriff’s department."


Remember her husband, U.S. Marine Corporal Jonathan Corwin, 21, told the police that his wife had left at 7:00 a.m. the morning she disappeared to look for photography locations at Joshua Tree National Park.  The search for her was in that area, but now we find out that her car was found more than 8 miles away from Joshua Street. 

DeeAnna Cates Heavilin asked me to post the following:

Jul 1st, 2:23pm

"Hello, I'm hoping that you can help me get information about my sister in law out to those in California. Please let me know if you need any other information from us. Thanks so much!!!
