Missing Missouri Boys found Alive

'...one of them missing since 2002...'

WTF!

I hesitate to think what he was doing to/with them.

Another one that should be put UNDER the jail.

A remarkable, happy ending for once.

Hooray.

Peace.

Yeah. Exactly my thought. :eek:

Their recovery from this is going to be long and difficult, is my guess... the implications aren't good. All signs point to not-good stuff going on... their poor parents... imagine your grief and your fear and your elation and now the mess of these poor kids' lives as they try to reintegrate... at their ages! yikes. It's definitely good news, but I can't imagine it's going to be an easy road for anyone...

but a hard road is better than NO road! :eek:
 
This is just amazing. Remember, the county where Ben Ownby went missing is the same county where baby Abby Woods was abducted just a few months ago and later found alive. Everytime I would go to the grocery store, I would see the age-progression poster of Shawn Hornbeck and wonder if they would ever find him. Now I wonder how many people in the St. Louis area saw that poster and saw Shawn while he was in captivity, but couldn't make the connection. As a parent, it's just chilling. :rose:
 
Yaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After a long time it hardly ever is good news.

One missing since 2002?

Yaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!

:heart:

I disagree with what should be done to the rat. I think he should be left right in the middle of the baddest, meanest convicts around, and everybody should know exactly what he has done.

Of course. The men of the families are in prison and they and some other badasses are the ones we turn Devlin over to. :D

How many sickos are out there grabbing multiple kids?

Way too many. These boys will probably suffer psychological effects from this for many years as all indicationa are thatt they were sexually abused. I only hope that neither turns up being HIV positive.

I have always been under the impression that the identity of rape victims, especially children, is kept secret. Yet, here are their names, pictures, addresses, family, and everything else splashed all over.
 
Something for thought....

I remember when the first boy was "taken"...I saw it on the news....at the time I live in the "Mid South"...


Something that comes to mind..Do ya'll remeber another boy who was abucted...around the same time..he was taken in the presense of a couple of his friends around the same time...it was highly publicized....

I "think" it was in the same geographical location....could he have been another victim of the same man?


Just saying....
 
I wish they could find these boys...

Red Lake youngsters still missing
Posted: November 29, 2006

RED LAKE, Minn. - There is still no clue as to the whereabouts of two missing boys from the Red Lake Reservation.

Ground and air searches were called off Nov. 26 after the two boys, aged 4 and 2, had been missing from their family home since Nov. 22. Family members and friends continued the search Nov. 27, according to a family spokesman, and tribal officials said the search would continue with the help of tribal members.

Myron Jones Jr., the boys' uncle, said the family is "very certain" that the boys were abducted from their home on Nov. 22, since no sign or trace of them turned up with the ground and air search.

''The family is not giving up, our hopes are still up,'' Jones said. The family, he said, is still positive that the boys will be found safe.

Two-year-old Avery Stately and 4-year-old Tristan White disappeared while playing outside their home on Nov. 22, seemingly vanishing into thin air.

An extensive air and ground search that included volunteers from surrounding communities, the Red Lake Reservation and federal authorities turned up no evidence that the two wandered into the woods near their home. The area is home to abundant small lakes and ponds and wetlands; however, no broken ice or trail scent was found.

A search of more than 30 homes, crawl spaces under buildings and basements turned up no evidence.

Paul McCabe, FBI special agent and spokesman, said more than 200 leads have been followed and, after interviews with family members, the FBI is confident that no relatives have the children.

Jones said the family has no clue who may have taken the boys, but are relatively sure they were abducted.

''People here are saying there were trucks around here with state plates, nobody knew who the people were,'' Jones said.

State plates indicate that the vehicles were not from the reservation.

''We have the whole family working on this. We are getting rest, working in shifts. While some sleep others are awake, we switch around,'' he said.

Even though the search has been called off, the FBI continues the investigation and will stay on the case until the boys are found.

''We won't stop until they are found,'' McCabe promised a gathering of tribal members and family. He also said there has been no evidence of foul play.

McCabe said, ''We don't have any indicators'' that would point one way or other to an abduction or whether the boys just wandered off.

Red Lake Chairman Floyd Jourdain also said there was no evidence of foul play, no signs the boys were attacked by wild animals or had fallen into nearby lakes. He said log piles and three bear dens were searched repeatedly.

Alicia White, the boys' mother, said the last she saw of the boys was when they were playing in her yard. She said publicly that she was not trying to think the worst and asked that anyone with any information come forward.

Jones said White was ''being strong.''

''This touches me how the people on this reservation will take the time to come and help us search for my nephews, it makes me feel not forgotten on the reservation,'' Jones said.

White said that Tristan would wander off from time to time when they lived in another town on the reservation, but would always be easily found. She called him adventurous, and that his younger brother would follow and do whatever Tristan did.

The intense search turned up no sign of clothing or other evidence that the two boys had wandered from their home.

The Jacob Wetterling Foundation and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children are directly involved with the search efforts.

The FBI has set up a hotline and has received more than 70 tips that have, to this point, turned up no substantial leads.

No Amber Alert was issued because the criteria for such have not been met, but McCabe told residents of the reservation that work with the media was as good as an Amber Alert.

The search involved high-tech equipment from the air, on the ground and underwater cameras. Organizations involved in the search were from local mounted posses who deployed search dogs, unmanned aerial surveillance vehicles, radar-sensing devices and heat-sensing equipment.

''We haven't given up hope,'' Jones said.

At the height of the search more than 100 volunteers took part in the search; this close-knit community responded to help and will continue to support the family and search for the boys, Jourdain said.

The FBI has established a $20,000 reward for anyone with information that could help determine what happened to the boys.

Tristan is about 3 feet 6 inches and was last seen wearing a dark blue Spiderman jacket with yellow trim, jeans and winter boots. Avery is about 2 feet tall, and was wearing a gray pullover sweat shirt with ''Timberline'' on the front. He was wearing faded jeans and Spiderman tennis shoes.

Anyone with any information is encouraged to call the FBI hotline at (866) 333-4949. The local FBI number is (612) 376-3200 and the Red Lake Police number is (218) 679-3313.

In one of those pictures, the one of the older boy and his mother, it was really eerie how much the kid looked like my son. The teeth were different, and Henry wouldn't be caught dead wearing ear studs, but the long nose, long jawline and prominent chin, and the wavy, slightly oily-looking hair, are very similar. Frea-ky! I've never thought of my kid being of a physical type, but I guess he is.

They haven't confirmed that the boys were raped (although obviously it's what everyone is assuming). The names are being released because it was a kidnapping case. Since the parents put the names out there during the search, it doesn't hurt anything to say they were found. The same thing happened with that girl in Utah. It took a long time before they acknowledged she had been assaulted, but they splashed her name and face all over the news when she was found. It will make it even worse for them if it's confirmed that they were assaulted, since their names are out there. Kids are rarely sympathetic.

The only other boy I remember in that area was Arlin Henderson, who disappeared in 1991 from Moscow Mills, Missouri. I don't think it's known yet where the suspect was during that time. It was the exact same situation as Shawn Hornbeck; he was riding his bike and then he was just gone. There's an artice here that talks about all the children who had disappeared even before Shawn. :(
 
Nice work officers.....but this seems just the beginning of the investigation.
