More than 100 law enforcement personnel and volunteers are searching for Jahessye Shockley in Glendale, Ariz.
According to Glendale Police, an Amber Alert was issued Tuesday evening when the 5-year-old girl went missing from her family’s home in an apartment complex near Glendale Road and 45th Avenue.

Jahessye had been at home with her three siblings, ages 6, 9 and 12.
Breeden said the mother said that when she got home, the front door was open, but Jahessye wasn’t inside and the siblings did not know where she was.

Baltimore County Police are looking for a Baltimore City fire recruit who has been missing since Sunday.
Police say Rodney Goggins was last seen in the 4000-block of Rouen Road in Randallstown late Sunday morning.

Baltimore County Police are asking anyone who may have seen Goggins or his vehicle to call the Baltimore County Police Department at 410-887-1340 or 410-307-2020.
18 Year Old Rosemary Newman, Pregnant & Strangled by Child’s Father
Posted in Pregnant, Project New Era on April 29, 2011 by projectnewera
Twenty-year-old Deandre Minkins and his girlfriend 19-year-old Shante Thomas have been charged with first-degree murder and intentional homicide of an unborn child. Good, but who knows how extensively they’ll be punished.
A brief investigation revealed that Minkins and Thomas extensively planned and plotted the murder of Rosemary Newman over a span of several weeks. Rosemary was nine months pregnant, and Deandre Minkins was the father of her unborn child, although the two weren’t romantically involved. Shante and Deandre must have come to a mutual understanding that this child must not be born, probably because the deadbeat didn’t want to pay child support, or maybe Shante was blinded with jealousy over having to share her new man with a young child and ex girlfriend. At any rate, they plotted and on the night of the murder, their plans came to fruition.

Baltimore City Police confirm a body found in the Susquehanna River near the Conowingo Dam is missing North Carolina student Phylicia Barnes. Her father and brother first told WJZ about the positive identity Thursday afternoon.
Mike Hellgren reports the bodies of a man and a woman were found Wednesday.
The autopsies began at 10 a.m. Thursday at the medical examiner’s office. Medical examiners compared the missing North Carolina teen’s dental records with one of two bodies found on the Susquehanna River.
The bodies were in bad shape, so bad police couldn’t tell what race they were. But they knew one was a man and another was a woman.

Missing: Lauryn Dickens
Posted in Missing on September 21, 2010 by projectnewera
Memphis police said the father of 10-month old Lauryn Dickens may know where she is. The baby has been missing since September 7th. Investigators issued a “City Watch Alert” Friday, September 17 for 10-month-old Lauryn Dickens, who was last seen wearing a brown onesie with a pink flower and pink dots.
Police are questioning family members, friends, and neighbors for clues about where the baby could be.
It’s been two weeks since Lauryn Dickens has been missing. But her mother, Shakara Dickens, waited 10 days to report her daughter missing, after she gave her baby to a complete stranger. Police said their number one concern is the safety of that baby and time may be running out.
“Makes me want to cry looking at her going missing like that,” said a neighbor.
The search started at the Raleigh Apartment complex. Amber Alerts are only issued when a child is abducted and is in imminent danger. So far there’s no evidence that could lead police to believe the child is in harms way. But Eyewitness News spoke with the Commission on Missing and Exploited Children (COMEC) and said the child could be in danger without the police even knowing it.
Neighbors are still angry and they want to know why her mother took so long to report her baby missing.
“She’s a cute baby, she doesn’t need to be missing, she needs to be found,” neighbor Kathey Smith said.
Every day and every hour counts as police try to figure out where the baby girl may be. Lauryn’s mother wanted the child’s father to help care for her, but he’s in jail. Police said that’s when the white female came to the mother’s house and gave the baby away, no questions asked, thinking it was someone the father knew.
Police said the baby girl may be with a Caucasian woman in her mid-40′s with shoulder-length gray hair. She was wearing glasses, a white blouse, khaki pants and sandals.

Missing: Trudie Hall
Posted in Missing on August 19, 2010 by projectnewera
*Editor’s Note: If you have any information on the whereabouts of Trudie Hall, please call 508-771-6237
New discoveries have been made in the search for missing 23-year-old Trudie Hall; however, there are many mysteries surrounding the expectant mother’s sudden disappearance.
The Barnstable Police are focusing their attention on Quiozel Wilson of Centreville, Mass., just outside of Hyannis, who is believed to be the father of Hall’s unborn child, reports CBS affiliate WBZ.
Thursday afternoon detectives paid a visit to Wilson’s home looking for any clues that would lead them to the Nantucket woman who was reported missing July 28. Police describe Hall, a 23-year-old native of Jamaica, as black, 5 feet, 4 inches tall, weighing 160 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
According to WBZ, detectives seized bags of evidence, a car and a motorcycle, but after questioning Wilson still have no solid answers regarding Hall’s whereabouts.
Another mystery in the search for Hall is a website entitled “Find Trudie Hall.”
Although the Internet site claims to be “dedicated to helping find Trudie,” Hall’s mother Vivienne Walker has no idea who started it and said she feels “uncomfortable” not knowing who exactly set up the website, according to The Boston Herald.
“No one asked me if they could do this. No one told me they would be using my daughter’s name,” Walker told the Boston newspaper in a phone interview. “I don’t know quite what to say. This is the first time I am hearing of [trudiehall.com] and it is a little bit upsetting.”
TrudieHall.com contains the latest media updates, a timeline detailing her final days, and the number of the Barnstable Police Department.
The Internet site which was set up using WorldPress.org also includes a blog section where you can comment on news articles posted by the unknown operator.
Hall left the island of Nantucket the morning of July 27 bound for Barnstable, according to Walker, but after more than a day of being unable to reach her daughter via text or telephone, she grew concerned.
Walker contacted police who discovered Hall’s rental car which contained traces of blood. So far, police have not found the missing 23-year-old.

Editor’s Note: This is ridiculous!
A father who tried to teach his 2-year-old son to box is facing second-degree murder charges now that the boy is brain dead. Police say Miami-area man Lee Willy DeJesus put on boxing gloves and hit his son Willy 15 times over a 15-minute period, at one point slugging him so hard he fell off the bed and struck his head on the floor, CNN reports.
Willy was declared brain dead after he was taken to a local hospital, and police plan to upgrade the charges against DeJesus to first-degree murder if the boy is taken off life support, NBC reports. Police say that after the boy hit his head, Dejesus waited an hour to call 911 and initially told investigators that the bruises had been inflicted by a babysitter.

Ridiculous: Queens Dad Murders 7 Month Old for Being a Mama’s Boy
Posted in Project New Era, Ridiculousness on April 15, 2010 by projectnewera
Jealous that his son “preferred his mother,” a Queens dad fatally beat his 7-month-old, the latest in a rash of violence against small children in the borough, officials said Wednesday.
“Toughen up!” Larry Greene yelled at the crying child before punching him in the chest, prosecutors charged.
Xiah stopped breathing moments later, and died Tuesday night at Queens Hospital Center, the fourth child in the borough to die at the hands of a guardian in five weeks.
“We’re grieving right now,” Pierre Nady, 47, the victim’s maternal grandfather, said Wednesday. “Xiah was only 7 months old – he was a cute, little boy [and] he was loved.”
Xiah had a bruise on his scalp, two bruises on the neck and five bruises on the chest that showed imprints of an adult’s knuckles, officials said.
The child’s mother, Cassandra Nady, asked Greene, 20, who lives nearby, to watch Xiah at her St. Albans home.
“He said the baby fell when he was feeding him but it wasn’t even close to the truth,” said Nady.
Prosecutors said they have a videotaped confession from Greene, who admits hitting his son – and told them he was upset the boy “preferred his mother.”
Greene’s shocked sister refused to believe he could be such a monster. “Larry is a good person, he wouldn’t do anything like this,” said Laquana Greene, 25. “It’s a misunderstanding.”
Greene was charged with second-degree manslaughter yesterday and could face up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted.
Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said Xiah was at the least the ninth child assaulted by a caregiver in the last five months.
“There is no excuse for these senseless attacks,” said Brown.
“Allah” Told Him to Murder His Four Family Members
Posted in Murdered, Project New Era on April 15, 2010 by projectnewera
In a scene police described as “horrendous”, a woman and three children — one seven months old — were found shot to death in their home in Marquette Park, allegedly by the father of at least one of the children who was visiting from Wisconsin.
A 12-year-old girl fled the home, notified police, and was taken into protective custody.
The victims include a 7-month-old boy who is the son of the gunman, his 3-year-old neice Kaleisha Larry, and his 16-year-old pregnant niece Keyshai Fields. The fourth victim, a 30-year-old female, was identified as the gunman’s wife, who was also believed to be pregnant.
Damon Larry, 13, and Leonna Larry, 57, believed to be the gunman’s mother and nephew, were also shot but survived the incident. They were transported to Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn in serious condition. At least one of them is not expected to survive.
“This is a really bad crime scene, really horrendous,” said 8th District Commander John Kupczyk. “We see a lot of crime out here that is really tragic to the community and their families, but something like this is really incomprehensible”.
