Oh Brennie!! I need help finding you!!

February 18th will mark 10 years since you've been gone. I need to get help for you and others like you.....to try to ensure that this doesn't happen to more people.

Today, I sit here in disbelief. Even after all the years that have gone by, I can't believe I am doing this. I am still looking for you, still trying to get answers as to what could have happened to you. As the days, weeks, and months pass by, more women and men fall into the same abyss that you've seemed to fall into. Where has everyone gone? Where on earth could you be?

I feel overwhelmed with so much work to do yet so little to work with. But I am determined! I won't say UNCLE! I will push, I will fight I will be your voice...Let's get moving people, if you feel moved to help with this cause, e-mail me. Only great numbers helping, will bring great numbers home!


This is dedicated to Brennie (Smith), Jason(Jolkowski), Eulace(King), LaToya(Byrd), Aeesha(Muhammad), Heather(Teague), Marilyn(Lanier), Aaron(Green) and a host of others who have yet to find their way home.

YOU CAN HELP!!!!!!

I have decided to spearhead a Citywide Day for the Missing in Philadelphia. The date is tentatively set for Spring 2006. Target location is in front of Memorial Hall in Fairmount Park. This will be an event for families and friends of missing persons. You are welcome to bring photos, posters, t-shirt and other items bearing the likeness of your loved one.I am in the process of making arrangements for the event. I hope to gain the support of our local sports teams and maybe get celebrities from our area to participate in the event. I will have law enforcement officials speak to the crowd regarding procedures for filing missing persons reports and safety for individuals to prevent personal endangerment or future abductions. To offer your assistance or to participate in this event please contact me via e-mail at dejuana45@msn.com.In the press recently there has been mention of the racial divide in coverage for missing black females. In all fairness, I have seen very few missing white males with the exception of Richard Petrone. Nonetheless, before being thrust firsthand into this situation, I was unaware of just how many adults go missing yearly. If I was in the dark - imagine how many others are in the same position!!! Let's make the public aware of our situation and help to prevent it from becoming an even bigger epidemic.To view photos of missing adults go to http://www.theyaremissed.com/. For information on beginning legislation for better police procedures when adults are missing go to http://www.projectjason.org/ and read about Kelly Jolkowski and her family's ordeal and what they did to make some good come out of her son's disapperance. Also see her daily blog http://www.voice4themissing.blogspot.com/. We have to do what they did....MAKE NOISE TILL YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!
