NBC-10 News Covers Local Missing Woman

Latoya Byrd left her residence on 3/27/2005 headed to a local mosque. Her father said she was never heard from again. Last night NBC-10 investigators ran a story called "Who decides what missing person gains attention?" They spoke with local law enforcement inquiring about how a missing persons investigation is run.

During this story that spotlighted Latoya, they showed her father and other family members wearing t-shirts bearing Latoya's image and handing out flyers with information on who to contact if you know anything about her case.

Slowly but surely we are getting somewhere! We need everyone's help to get the word out that there needs to be bettter laws and instant media awareness when adults go missing!

MISSING NEW YORK WOMAN

Shameeka M. Dixon-Gordon was last seen in Staten Island, NY on April 21, 2004. She has not been heard from since and like Latoyia, Lacy, and now Audrey - Shameeka was pregnant at the time she disappeared.

I e-mailed Shameeka's heart-broken mother and expressed my compassion for her. She explained her distress at trying to get her daughter's case noticed and the lack of media coverage for her daughter. She said that the only time the media contacted her was to get her reaction when the remains of a woman thought to be Shameeka was found in a local landfill. Fortunately, the DNA was not a match and it turned out to be someone other than Shameeka. I asked her to send me a photo of her daughter so that I may post her on my blog. I will ask my fellow bloggers to do the same. If you have seen Shameeka or have any information regarding her disapperance, Please call the New York authorities at 718-981-2583.

Fortunately for us, we have been contacted alot recently to do stories on Brennie. Until the day we find her we will never give up hope. I plan to do as much as I can to assist other families in the meantime. I am so inspired by Kelly Jolkowski mother of missing son Jason Jolkowski. I have been in contact with her alot lately and she is a great example of "what to do while we wait." Cheers to you Kelly!!!! You are a wealth of resources and information. Thanks for your assistance and advice in the Search for Brennie.

Anyone can find out about her story and her organization 'Project Jason' by checking out their site which is listed on my links.

FOUND DECEASED

Updated with photo!!!!! More sad news to report 27-year-old Ta-neke Daniels of South Philadelphia, whose May 12 disappearance has gone virtually undetected still remains missing. Unfortunately, police don't believe that Taneke Daniels, of 26th Street near Moore, simply ran off.

"She hasn't called me because she can't" said Gail Daniels, Ta-neke's mother. Daniels, the mother of three children, was last seen leaving her boyfriend's house, just days before he was to appear in court on charges of abusing her. Police say the boyfriend has been cooperative, and is not a suspect. But they fear that something bad has happened to her.

A photo of Ta-neke as promised.

A Devastating End to A Valiant Search Effort for two Missing Women

I'm sure everyone knows that Latoyia has been found in Chester, PA. Unfortunately, the similarites between Latoyia Figueroa (right photo)and Laci Peterson's case are even more visible in that they met the same end. They both lost their life and the life of their unborn child to the father of the child they carried.

Also in Spartanburg, NC the year plus search for Tamika A Huston (above left) has ended after her boyfriend confessed to killing her over a year ago and disposing of her remains in a field outside of town. He was also charged with abusing her last March. A bitterweet ending for both families. Now there's closure....A closure we still don't have with Brennie!!!

Our prayers go out to the Figueroa and Huston families. Rest in peace Tamika, Latoyia and Nyla(baby).

I want to SCREAM everytime I read a new story about Brennie and this Covington guy. Why is it that you guys (the press) want to continue to torture her family and friends with talk that this guy could have possibly "murdered" her or that he is in some way responsible for her disapperance????

I suggest you all stop writing about things of which you know nothing about or do more investigation instead of going "full speed ahead" on hearsay!!!!

Here's the latest.....
