Here’s another missing person you’re not likely to see getting hourly updates on CNN, or being featured in reports by Nancy Grace or Greta Van Susteren. Two months after coming out to his mother, a black gay teenager has gone missing in New York.
[Aleia Newsome] last saw [her son] Eddie [Tillmon] on August 10 when […]
I added a link to this story to an ealier post, but it really deserves a post all it’s own.
It’s the story of seven children lost in the post-Katrina confusion, when they’re parent’s put them on a rescue helicopter and opted to wait for the next one to save themselves. It’s the story of […]
Via Ol’ Cranky, I got news of another missing person’s case that you haven’t (and probably won’t) see in the news, unless you’re in the New York media market, and even then you probably won’t see much about it.
Shameeka Gordon-Dixon has been missing since April 24, 2004, and has not been heard from since. […]
We can all breath a sigh of relief and sleep a bit better tonight as CNN tells us the latest White Woman in Trouble (WWiT) has been found.
Teen actress Scout Taylor-Compton, who disappeared from her home more than two weeks ago, has been found at a friend’s house, police said on Thursday.

Philadelphia police said they believe remains recovered in Chester early Saturday may be those of a pregnant woman missing for a month, and also said they have her boyfriend into custody.

Now this is a meme worth jumping on. Bloggers helped bring media attention to missing persons cases of people like Tamika Houston and Latoyia Figueroa. Well, now Chocolate Starfish has declared the first Monday of every month to be Missing Monday.
Wouldn’t it be a fantastic idea, I thought, if all bloggers, just one day […]
I was over at Tattered Coat, when I noticed Matt had a blogad up for the Latoyia Figueroa Reward Fund. After I smacked myself in the head for not thinking of it myself, I created a free ad and posted it in a few minutes.
Anyone who’s read the blog for a while knows stories […]
I’ve written about this before, so I just wanted to point to an open letter to CNN and Nancy Grace (don’t get me started about her) about the case of Latoya Figuoera — a young Latino woman who’s been missing for eight days. The letter points out some important points about her case.
