Cold Cases and Missing Persons Families

Everyday we receive requests to keep alive cases of the missing, suspected victims of intimate partner violence, and ultimately homicide, by featuring them on the blog or radio shows we do.

Sometimes it is virtually impossible to personally provide and answer all the emails or write about the lives of women and men caught in the silence of the abuse, power and control which they lived in daily, behind closed doors. We, as a nation, are at war in our own homes, a place once considered safe, for these women and men taken away from this earth before their time. Many a case goes cold because of lack of manpower, a proper investigation or not enough evidence to make an arrest.

The unexplained disappearances of just a few we list, out of the many thousands of missing and without answers, and all, in my opinion, victims of Intimate Partner Homicide:

• Michele Parker, 33, mother of 3, missing from Orlando, Florida, November 17, 2011
• Kelly Rothwell, 35, police cadet, missing from Florida, March 12,2011
• Jacque Sue Waller, 39, mother of triplets, missing from Missouri, June 1, 2011
• Jessica Lowery, 25 mother of 1, missing from Robeson County, NC, 2005
• Krishonda Townsend, 19, mother of 1, missing from Mineral wells Texas, July 4, 2007
• Lisa Stebic, 37, mother of 2, missing from Plainfield, IL April 30, 2007
• Stacy Peterson, 24, Mother of 2, missing from Bolingbrook, IL, October 28, 2007
• John James Morris, 37, missing from Dickerson, MD, reported missing July 30, 2007
• Patty Vaughn, 32, mother of 3, missing from LaVernia, Texas, December 25, 2007
• Michael Tapley, 51, Navajo County, Az, reported missing March 8, 2008
• Angie Denis Tucker, 34, mother of 2, Tulsa, Oklahoma, November 3, 2007
• John Spira, 45, reported missing from West Chicago, IL, February 23, 2007

Many of the aforementioned cases are listed, with additional information, at CUE Center for Missing Persons where they are registered as active cases. www.ncmissingpersons.org.  Agencies such as the CUE Center, a not for profit agency, depend on public donations to continue searching for those who suddenly vanish, without a trace.

We, as always, will continue to keep the lights on, as best as we can, for those who go missing. I ask that we all do our part and be messengers when we see or hear about a missing persons case, including supporting and commenting on sites and blogs. The national media pays attention more than you realize.

If you have or know of a case and you would like to be considered for the various shows available highlighting and bringing information public on missing persons, unsolved or suspicious deaths, cold cases etc., please email us at timesupforjustice@gmail.com and murphymilano@gmail.com

.Whatever you do, if you or someone you know is ending a relationship, leave and go someplace safe.  Do not stay once you have filed for a divorce or announced the relationship is over.  And for heaven's sake have a plan of action BEFORE, you say or do anything!

The dangers should be carefully considered when ending a dating relationship or marriage. The reaction to rejection is costing lives. In cases where the victim has died, her fears during the relationship or marriage remain silent, telling family or friends is considered "hearsay" and it's not enough when the person responsible is finally brought to trial. As a precaution, victims are encouraged to prepare the Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit and video, also known as the "EAA." This removes hearsay and in a victim's own words provides historical abuse documentation, gives law enforecment and prosecutors a profile of the offender and shows his pattern of conduct prior to the crime should the victim vanish or be killed.

Document the Abuse.Com contains vital information on how the EAA can support each case of abuse from the perspective of the first responders and advocates, to an appearance in court. It explains the legal benefits to the abuse victim, whether they are able to testify or not, how their words are forever documented and hold up in court, much like a Living Will.

A Missing Person's Case Gone Right: Amy Sue Henslee and Tonya Howarth

In a small town in Hartford, MI, a mother of 2 young boys is reported missing by her husband, all because each day, faithfully, he calls home during breaks at work. When she does not answer, he knows something is wrong, leaves and heads home.

There is no sign of anything out of place, except for the feeling in his heart, he knows something is wrong. He calls around to friends and family, no one has seen her. The husband contacts police, they inform him he must wait, "she might come back they see this all the time." He does not wait and drives around the community looking for his wife.

He returns to the house just before his two boys get off the school bus. Officers arrive, the boys are sent to another location and they continue searching.

The successful outcome to the case happens when the Missing You Foundation enters with their trained team of experienced searchers and dogs. Among the gem within this organization is a man by the name of Jamie Jones.

If it were not for his training and professionalism on a crime scene, the outcome in this case would be very different. Jamie Jones is the sole reason the crime scene remained in tact. Jamie Jones was the reason the recovery, despite the weather was successful. Jamie Jones was the reason the person who committed these crimes was arrested.

From  shallow graves, Amy Sue Henslee and Tonya Howarth were recovered because of the commitment of the charitable organization for families of the missing.

During the search, there was a lot of public speculation, misinformation and finger pointing that, if not for the correct search procedures, could have gone in another direction.

On Crime Wire, our guests for the hour were, James Henslee, widower, and Searcher Jamie Jones. It is an hour of insight rarely captured. And you will hear, based on what Jamie Jones does, how the outcome changes in the eleventh hour.

Perhaps if we all email the Michigan Governor Granhola asking that Jamie Jones be considered by the Michigan Community Service Award to honor a real hero we could in some way acknowledge how one man made a hell of difference too so many! Send your emails here http://www.michigan.gov/mcsc and nominate Jamie Jones.

Erased are Women: Mothers, Sisters and innocent lives, lost!

Today is Mother's Day. Instead of celebrating the love of a mother far too many families with motherless children will be visting gravesites across the county. As they place flowers and photo's on the headstone and grave tears of confusion and anger will roll down their cheeks as they stand trying to claim a memory or happy thought about her while she was alive. As the family holds hands inprayer silently they wonder what could they have done to prevent the tragedy?

The list is long consisting of women murdered in their own homes, stalked, missing in action if you will because their life was lost in the war against abuse, power and control. With pleas's for help from the judical system and their community often falling on deaf ears.

Many women are still out there waiting to be found by their families and bring them home. In honor of their lives it is important to list these amazing women, my mother included. I remember after my mom was murdered and a stranger or someone who barely knew me said " out of this tragedy you will triumph." At the time the wounds and emotions still raw I likely responded by barking back to the individual "what a cold and inappropriate statement, you have no clue what I am going through or feeling, my life is forever altered." I was wrong because I was angry, hurt and devasted by the loss of the one person I loved most with all my heart, my mother. From these women's tragedies we can change the course of survior for those among the living as they live in fear and wait for someone to extend a hand offer support to end the war with their children and lives intact.
