The Roth Show: Two Fathers, “One Find's Their Daughter as Samantha Duran's Family Continue's to Search: Live 7:00 PM Eastern Time

Two fathers from Sevier County, Tennessee will be on the Roth show for the hour to discuss the details their missing teenagers Kelsey Barrett was located safe and alive last night in Texas after being reported missing on April 1, 2012. For the father of Samantha Duran, still in danger and missing the family is praying that national attention will assist law enforcement agencies to find them and bring Samantha home.   (click to print and enlarge the information on the above poster with Samantha's information both in English and Spanish.

Often missing teenagers are runaways, but there are many other circumstances that need to be considered with every missing teenager who is not old enough to make intelligent life decisions. Several questions need to be asked about the disappearances of these young girls, especially were they lured by older males into thinking life would be better somewhere other than home. Any teenage runaway is endangered, whether they chose to run away or whether they were lured or abducted and often the priority to search for them is quite low. Often law enforcement does not consider the possibility of human trafficking and in a number of these very cases that's exactly what has happened.  

Samantha Briana Duran, age 14 (now 15), has been missing since January 24, 2012. It’s believed she snuck out a window in the dark and is most likely with Juan Pineda (Flores), aged 19, who is facing charges of contributing to the deliquency of a minor. They are believed to be traveling in a silver Honda and could possibly be headed towards Texas.

Several agencies are involved in her search, including Laura Recovery Center and Heidi Search Center, both headquartered in Texas. And CFSI-International.com along with Chuck Foreman who was responsible for finding Kelsey Barrett.

If you have seen Samantha, please contact Detective Nathan Carr, Sevier County Sheriff’s Department at 865-453-4668.

Donna Jou Case: Follow The Money

"On May 06, 2009: John Steven Burgess pleated guilty to Involuntary Manslaughter

and Concealment of Accidental Death and dumping of Donna Jou, 19,

college student into the Pacific Ocean (due to lack of evidence to prove

or disprove his statement, the court accepted his fabricated story. )"

On April 15, 2011, after serving 2 years of a 5 year sentence, John Steven Burgess, will be released from North Kern State Prison, in California. This disturbing case is not about time served, but a dangerous sexual predator who, in my opinion, willingly, like a good foot soldier in his organization, falls on the sword for a much larger and dangerous international crime ring, human trafficking, child pornography and prostitution.

In August of 2008, when Burgess is arrested and charged with the disappearance of Donna Jou, he posts $250,000 in cash as bond. This man does not have 2 nickels to his name. No source of documented income. He owns no property. How is able to post that much cash? In addition, a heavy hitter lawyer initially represents him to the tune of approximately $60,000 during some of the court hearings. That is until Burgess signs papers releasing the attorney and represents himself.

While incarcerated, does Burgess enjoy a more comfortable lifestyle? Who are the individuals filling his prison bank account so he can purchase whatever he needs? Why is he not being released on a GPS monitoring device? Why is he not being discharged and documented into a halfway facility? Why is he being allowed to go out on his own minus any accountability? Who is his parole agent?

Burgess did not register when he was mandated by the courts as a sex offender before Donna Jou vanished, so why is he going undetected back into the community? That is outrageous.


John Steven Burgess is coming to a community near you.

Follow the money and you have your answers. Tragically, this case from the beginning had less to do with the disappearance of a Donna Jou and more to do with money, corruption and protecting informants. Follow Burgess and his connections and you may just uncover one of the largest criminal organizations that make the mafia look like girl scouts.

This entire week will be devoted to the release of John Steven Burgess. Also known by the name of Logan Anderson. Intimate number F95524.

On Tuesday, Crime Wire at 9:00 PM Eastern time will devote an entire hour to the release of John Steven Burgess and missing College Student Donna Jou.

On Wednesday, at 7:00 PM Eastern time www.therothshow.com will continue the coverage on the case.

On Thursday, on The Susan Murphy Milano show "Time's Up" the system, the money and what must be done in this case, prior to the release of John Steven Burgess.

Through out the week on the blog coverage will continue. Hopefully, everyone who reads this will post on their websites, twitter, social networking pages and write to the California Parole Board, Senator Diane Feinstein and Senator Barbara Boxer to express outrage over the release of John Steven Burgess.

There is still a $15,000 Reward for any information in finding Donna Jou.

If you have any information regarding Donna please contact your local

police department or call Los Angeles Police Department at 213-486-6900
