Update in the Isabel Celis Case 4/25/12

Isabel was reported missing at 8:00am on Saturday, April 21st. And now Tucson Police have moved the search to the local landfill. Police have reason to believe that clues that can lead them to Isabel are in the landfill. They are sifting through tons of garbage that was picked up on Saturday from the alley near Isabel's home.

Police have scaled back the search of the family home and are focus on the surrounding areas. The Celis family is allowed back in the home but have not yet returned. The police plan to search drainage pipes and sewers for Isabel.

Ironically though, Arizona is the same state where Jhessye Shockley went missing back in October of 2011. Sadly enough, Tucson and Glendale are too very different places. Funding was a large part in why it took so long to search the landfill for Jhessye but yet Tucson was able to start a landfill search three days after Isabel was reported missing.

I think if all missing children case were handled the same way, we would be able bring the children home safe. Same state, children of the same age. But both missing children cases were handled very differently. The laws regulating cases like this should be streamlined. Landfill searches should not take months to organize. Due to the fact the if there is a body there, it will begin decomposing faster than if it were buried or in the woods for instance. It’s simple science.

Update in the Bianca Jones Case - 4/23/12

On Tuesday, April 17th, DeAndre Lane was arrained in court for the murder of his 2 year old daughter, Bianca Jones.

Lane's 8 year old daughter was at his home on December 2, 2011. She was on the witness stand on Tuesday to tell her side of the story. She mentioned a time when she herself, wet the bed and Lane became upset. He held her panties in front of her face and stuffed them in her mouth as a punishment. Other members of Bianca's family knew that Lane had an issue with his children not being potty trained or wetting the bed. It appears that perhaps this was the cause for him harming Bianca on December 2nd.

The 8 year old also stated that she got dressed for school that day and waited in the living room for her dad to drop her off. She said that Bianca was in the car seat with a blanket over the entire car seat. Bianca never moved. She said that the baby snored when she slept, but this time there was no sounds at all.

It seems very clear that little Bianca was killed by her father (if on purpose or by accident). DeAndre Lane is covering this up and forensic evidence will tell the story. I'm happy the Detroit Police have Lane in custody and he will be serving a possible life sentence if convicted. At least law enforcement didn't fall asleep on this case.

Bianca's mother, Banika Jones still holds out hope that her baby will come home. She said, "Until they find a body there is hope."

Despite her hope and prayers, I know that Banika knows that DeAndre Lane killed her baby. It's a harsh truth that she and her family are facing. Our prayers are with them.

Where is Teekah Lewis??

Teekah Lewis was a loveable 2 year old who was boasted upon as her mother's little shinning light. Teekah was 2nd to the youngest of 5 daughters to Theresa English. Theresa was a single mother living in Tacoma, Washington. Thresa raised her children to love each other and to be close. Teekah was shy but loved her family. She was known to carry a Winne the Pooh blanket everywhere. And on the night that she was taken from her mother's loving care, Teekah felt brave enough to leave it at home.

On January 23, 1999 Theresa along with her 2 month old daughter, boyfriend and family members went out for a night of bowling at Frontier Lanes in Tacoma. The family was having a good time and Teekah was too. Later that night a lady with 4 men (who did not bowl that night) sat at a table near Theresa and her family. The lady was admiring Theresa's baby niece and asked her sister-in-law to hold the baby. The lady was reluctant to return the baby and it caused a bit of a scene. Theresa's older brother broke it up. And the lady a 4 men continued to sit and watch the bowling.

Teekah want to play the racing games in the arcade area and Theresa took her there to play. Theresa left Teekah there to get her baby and she turned around and Teekah was gone! Theresa would have never guess that her 2 year old daughter was truly GONE! The bowling alley shut down and the search for Teekah extended out to the nearby woods, parking lots and other shopping area. There was no sign of Teekah.

Theresa called her brother who was working as a security guard. He came to assist with the search for Teekah. The police called in the entire family for questioning. At that time, Teekah's father was in jail. And after 24 hours and no sign of Teekah, Theresa had to contact him to let him know that Teekah was missing.

Time passed and there were no leads in the case. Information about other children being sexually assaulted and attempted abductions at the Frontier Lanes surfaced. Apparently, these case were not reported to the public for awareness. Several children were harmed by random men that camped out at the Frontier Lanes for the purpose of assaulting and/or kidnapping children. Perhaps, if Teekah's mother knew this, maybe she would have never taken her family to that bowling alley. The media and police didn't feel the need to shine negative light on this business and sadly, Teekah Lewis fell victim to some sick freak on the prowl. 

 The Tacoma Police department questioned people that worked at the bowling alley and one person came forward with a lead. A woman called and said that she noticed a dark green Pontiac Grand AM speeding out of the Frontier Lanes parking lot around the time that Teekah went missing. We assume that this was indeed the vehicle that abducted Teekah.

Other leads have come up in the case but they were not accurate.

Theresa and her children have held out hope for 13 years. My prayers are with this brave mother. The idea of not knowing where her child (who would now be 15 years old) could be is beyond comprehension.

Teekah Lewis would now be 15 years old. Her mother and sisters miss her very much and needs

closure.

If you have any tips are know the whereabouts of Teekah Lewis, please contact the Crime Stoppers at: Crime Stoppers at 253-591-5959

Keeping on the Watch

I'm happy to see so many people are truly concerned about finding missing children. Websites like Humble 

Opinion http://humbleopinionforum.net/ are dedicated to finding missing children and uncovering the truth behind the story. I have recently found a new website, this young woman covers cases of missing black children. Most cases I have never heard of on the news. In fact I Googled some of the names of children on the website and strangely enough, I couldn't find any info about the cases! The name of the is Forgotten Victims Black Kids Heaven http://www.forgottenvictims.info/index.php?option=com_content&view=featured&Itemid=101

The website is chalked with information about the cases of missing and murdered black children that have not gotten much or any media attention. Several cases were featured on the TV One special series, Find Our Missing. Even though many years have passed since these little ones have disappeared, the public should still be aware of the cases and finding out what happened to these children. A lot of the cases give detailed descriptions of the children and what happened to them. Sadly, some of the bodies have been found in river, lakes, under freeways and over places. However, some of these little victims’ families do not have closure because the killers have not been found. This is why we must keep their little faces in the spotlight with hopes that someone know something about what happened to them.

Please take time to click on both links. If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of any of the children featured, please contact the police department in that area.

Thanks for your continued support!

6 Months of Heartache - Lisa Irwin

Little Lisa Irwin has been missing since October of 2011 and there has been no sign of her. Reading about this really struck a cord in my heart. As a mom I couldn't imagine not seeing my daughter for 6 months. The idea that you don't know where she is or if she's even alive is very heartbreaking. Lisa's family has missed her 1st birthday, Christmas, and with Easter and Mother's Day around the corner the Irwin family is having a hard time.

The family has been cooperating with the police in trying to locating their baby, and this makes it obvious that they most likely are not at fault. My heart goes out to them. This is probably the hardest thing a person could ever face.

Our prayers are with them.
