Let the White Dove Sing

Like many people I had been horrified about the ongoing sexual abuse of a blond haired child, the abuse blatently posted on the internet by her abuser for the world to see. I heard this on the radio Friday as I was driving out of town.

Girl in Sex Abuse Photos Found Alive

They feared she was dead. When Toronto police stumbled on the pictures of the child a few months ago there were hundreds of pictures of her being sexually abused over a time period spanning 2-3 years. The pictures had stopped about 2 years ago. The investigators knew that this type of predator would not just suddenly stop documenting this childs torment. Fearing the worst, they began to search for her using techniques not tried before. They digitally removed her from some of the photos of her abuse and posted them on the internet and in newspapers and on television. Leads came pouring in.

ORLANDO — A young girl who appeared in a series of sexually explicit pictures taken at a Walt Disney World hotel and other locations has been found and is now safe, authorities said Friday.



Have you seen this girl?

Orange County Sheriff's Office detectives hope someone can identify the girl in this photo. They believe the girl, who is not a victim, can provide information pertinent to an international child pornography case.


There is a child being abused. Her pictures have been considered must haves by pedophiles scouring the internet for child porn. She was 9 when over 200 pictures and videos were taken in 2001. She has long blond hair and would be twelve today. Frustrated Toronto detectives decided to try to do more to find her. They digitally wiped her image from photos in an attempt to locate the hotel or resort she was abused at on more than one occasion. Seconds after Toronto Newstations ran the broadcast showing the pictures, tips began pouring in.

THe hotel has been located. It is a Florida Walt Disney World resort. The name of the resort has not been released.

Happy Mother's Day?

Runaway Bride Run Amuck?

Remember the Runaway Bride? Since her "recovery from captivity" some interesting facts have come out about her. This was not her first alter avoidance. She didn't show for a previous marriage ceremony as well.
She also has been arrested for shoplifting three times. There has been some speculation by mental health experts that she could be have a borderline personality disorder, which means she would be extremely unstable in her relationships and would often do things to draw attention to herself.

Hmmm. You would think her family would have had an insight into her character to not plan a lavish wedding with 600 guests.

Want to know what Jennifer Wilbanks aka The Runaway Bride's home town thinks of her activities?
The Smoking Gun has a link to letters from her home state. They are hilarious.

"Her Soul is Dancing"

If you like me, have ever surfed the cold cases sites, you have been chilled at the forensic recreations from a skeleton or partially decomposed body. In some instances, you can actually view photos of the deceased victim, placed there in hopes someone will identify that person.

A child's body was found on April 28, 2001. Her body was found a few days later. Her case came to be known as the Precious Doe case. Last week, the child was identified as Erica Green. She was just three years old.

Today, a community said goodbye to her. Included at the funeral was her former foster mom, Betty Brown, who raised Erica from birth to age three, in Muskogee, Okla.

Michelle Johnson and her husband Harrell Johnson have been charged with the murder.

Several teenagers spoke at the funeral including Ailey Pope Coe, 14, she said Erica is anonymous no more and "is crying out her name" for everyone to hear.

"Her soul is dancing," Coe said.
