RSSTim Miller & Texas Equusearch Hope to Do Landfill Search at No Cost to Authorities or Family for Missing Tynesha Stewart
19 year old Tynesha Stewart has been missing since March 15, 2007. Sadly, she is 
presumed dead as her ex-boyfriend, Timothy Wayne Shepherd , has confessed to her murder. Steward told authorities that he dumped Tynesha Stewart’s body in a garbage bin. This is when the story takes a contentious turn.
Houston authorities are balking at the premise of a landfill search due to the enormity and cost of such a search.
Because of that and the sheer volume of trash needed to be searched, sheriff’s officials say they are considering not searching the landfills at all. In addition, the search could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
“You can see how this is going to be expensive, and there is little confidence that it would even turn up anything,” said Lt. Martin.
Enter Tim Miller of Texas Equusearch and their many volunteer members and connections to
get the right assets for searching for missing loved ones. We spoke with Tim Miller regarding the prospects of the landfill search. Tim Miller stated, “that they have been talking to and will be meeting with Waste Management in the morning regarding the search of the landfill where Tyneshia Stewart’s body is believed to be”. Tim Miller had also met with the family of Tyneshia. Tim Miller told us the following, “I have every intention of doing this search and it will be at no cost to the Sheriff’s department or the family. I am optimistic that we can find her. Tyneshia Stewart needs to be found and brought home to her family.”

UPDATE I: Agony, anger over decision not to hunt for teen’s body
We will just say that no search is impossible. If that were the case no searches for missing people would ever be initiated. Searching is not an easy job, if it were everyone would be doing it. That being said, there is no reason why the attempt should not be made. The issue seems to be cost, yet TES has stated they would do the search at no cost to the city or the family. Give the search a chance. No missing person should be considered garbage.
Faced with the “virtually impossible” task of excavating 40,000 tons of landfill waste to find Tynesha Stewart’s body, Harris County sheriff’s officials made the agonizing decision Thursday night that the odds of success were too remote to try.
Sheriff’s officials met with the slain Texas A&M University student’s mother, Gale Shields, shortly before a scheduled 7 p.m. candlelight vigil to inform her there would be no search for her daughter’s body.
“Oh my God!” a sobbing Shields said later. “It just broke my heart that they could put a dollar amount on my, on a person’s life, especially if they probably know where she is. … And they just want to leave her out there. They just want us to leave her out there in the trash because of a dollar amount. I just can’t understand that.” (Houston Chronicle)

Are You Kidding, Clarence Thomas, 56, Convicted of 971 Sex Crimes for Abusing Girl for a Decade
This is just beyond words. A jury convicted 56 year old Pennsylvania man, Clarence Thomas, of 971 sex crime counts. Prosecutors accused Thomas of sexually assaulting his victim, now 20, from 1994 to 2004. There were originally 9000 counts against this deviant; however, many were consolidated and thrown out because of late filing. Read the full story, HERE.
Seems there must be something in the water in Pennsylvania. Five members of a PA family were also arrested on Wednesday for holding a woman captive for six months, “referring to her as their “slave” as they beat her, forced her to do chores and threatened her life and the lives of her relatives.”
Will All Charges Against Duke Lacrosse Players, Collin Finnerty, Dave Evans and Reade Seligmann be Dropped Soon?
According to Inside Lacrosse Magazine and Paul Caulfield, all pending charges against the 
three Duke Lacrosse players, Collin Finnerty, Dave Evans and Reade Seligmann will be dropped as per inside sources to the case.
“There is no case here and they will be hearing a dismissal in the coming days,” Caulfield told FOX News.
This case has been a judicial folly from the outset. When dealing with such accusations of rape, it is so important to protect and respect the rights of both victim and and the accused. Discounting either only damages all future rape cases.

Happy 50th Birthday to …. Bubble Wrap
Lets be honest, can you pass a sheet of bubble wrap and not feel tempted to pop a couple of them? I know in the 42 years I have been around that the answer is an honest no, and watching most other people the temptation is always there. Well, this simple but addictive product is now turning 50, so I say, Happy Birthday Bubble Wrap!
The plastic material, which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year, is the only kind of packaging that’s as popular for relieving stress as it is for protecting post.
The Bubble Wrap story began completely by accident in 1957.
Two US engineers, Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes, were trying to make a textured wallpaper with an easy-to-use paper backing.
But they soon realised they had a bigger hit on their hands, switched to using layers of melted plastic resin, and formed Sealed Air, which is now a global company worth £2billion.
Metro did contact the makers to get some more fun facts but all the executives were in Florida attending the 50th birthday party.
It was left to Lisa Bond, of stationers Ryman, to pay tribute: ‘Not only has it taken the packaging world by storm but households and offices around the country readily use it as a fun way to let off steam.’ via Metro.co.uk.
If you want to pop some bubbles now, there is a site that allows you to do so online.
