| Missing Kids: 11 Year Old Nadia Bloom FOUND ALIVE! |
|
 FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS!!! The 11 year old Nadia Bloom has been found ALIVE after a 4 day search.
Nadia Bloom's family is hailing James King as a hero, after he found
the 11-year-old girl in a remote part of a Florida swamp near her
suburban Orlando home, four days after she disappeared.
King, who's a member of Bloom's
church, says he found the child by the shoreline of nearby Lake Jesup.
He immediately noticed she was thirsty and covered in mosquito bites.
King said when he found Nadia, he immediately sent his wife a
text that read "I found her she's safe in my arms."
Authorities
say they had to use machetes to get to the missing child in the
isolated woods and thick brush. Once paramedics reached her they placed
her on a stretcher and began carrying the young girl out by passing her
from person to person.
Nadia Bloom suffers from an autism-related
syndrome called Asperger's. Authorities aren't sure how she survived
four days in the alligator infested swamp.
Nadia's father
said that when he received word that his daughter was safe he was
overcome with joy.
"I just burst...and ran to tell my
wife," Bloom told reporters at a Tuesday press conference.

| Missing Kids: Mother turns herself and daughter into authorites... |
|
 November 10, 2009
A rural Washburn, Mo., woman who reportedly
left the state with her 8-year-old daughter after losing custody of the
girl turned in herself and her daughter to county authorities,
according to a release issued this afternoon.
The McDonald County Sheriff’s Department issued an endangered person advisory last week for Rebecca Marie Allen,
8. The girl’s mother, Teresa Lynn Allen, also known as Teresa L. Gantt,
was suspected of having left her home at 711 Woodard Lane in McDonald
County and taken the girl with her.
Teresa Allen turned in herself and presented her daughter to the McDonald County Sheriff’s Department on Monday.
Rebecca Allen’s father, Joe Allen, was granted sole custody of the child at a court hearing in Barry County last month.

| Missing Kids: Jaycee Dugard *FOUND* (18 years later) |
|
*THIS STORY IS FOR THE PARENTS OF CHILDREN THAT GO MISSING WITHOUT A TRACE. THIS IS A STORY OF HOPE THAT EVEN THOUGH A QUICK RETURN MAY NOT HAPPEN, IT STILL CAN HAPPEN SO KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE!*
A woman who walked into a US police station
claiming she was kidnapped 18 years ago is likely to be telling the
truth, police in California say.
DNA tests were being carried
out, local police said, with officers almost certain that the results
would back up the woman's story.
Jaycee Lee Dugard disappeared in 1991, aged 11, from outside her Lake Tahoe home, apparently taken by two people.
Two people are now said to have been taken into custody, US reports say.
Police in California are due to hold a news conference later on
Thursday, at which it is widely expected that they will formally
confirm that Ms Dugard is alive and well.
Lt Les Lovell of the
sheriff's department at El Dorado, California, said a woman walked into
a local police station and announced that she was Jaycee Lee Dugard.
"We're
99% sure it's her," Mr Lovell told the Associated Press, adding that
her family had been contacted and a meeting was being arranged.
Ms Dugard's stepfather, Carl Probyn, told ABC News in the US that her family was now convinced that she had been found.
"I had personally given up hope," he said, saying that he just wanted to find the people responsible.
Mr Probyn was watching on 10 June, 1991, as the young girl was apparently taken away by two unidentified people.
The incident occurred as she was walking from her home to a school bus stop in the southern Lake Tahoe town of Meyers.
Her
stepfather has described how a stranger drove up and grabbed Ms Dugard,
bundling her into a grey car even as she tried to resist by kicking and
screaming.
Mr Probyn believed a man and woman were in the
vehicle. Despite several false reports of sightings in the intervening
years, Ms Dugard was never seen again.
But the FBI has now
assured his wife that her daughter is safe and that the men she was
with are in custody, Mr Probyn told ABC News.
"She sounds like she's okay," he said.
"She had a conversation with my wife and she remembers things. I hope she's been well treated this entire 18 years."

| Missing Kids: The body of TREJON FITE has been found. |
|
 A medical examiner has confirmed a body found near the Great Salt Lake Saturday is that of 8-year-old Trejon Fite.
A group of five family friends found Fite's body yesterday about seven
miles from Saltair and 15 miles from where he first disappeared.
Fite was walking across a pipe over the Jordan River surplus
canal near California Avenue and Redwood Road on June 13 when he
somehow fell in. His disappearance prompted a massive search of the
area, but his body wasn't discovered until now.
Fite's family says they are glad to finally have closure. There's been no word yet on any funeral arrangements.
