16 Year Old Indica Huddleston Missing Since 8/16/13 in Alpine, UT … Runaway/Possibly Lured Away by Man She Met on Facebook (Update: Found Safe)

16 year old Indica Huddleston has been missing since 5 pm Friday, August 16, 2013 in Alpine, Utah. Huddleston is is 5’3″, 128 lbs, long dark brown hair, olive skin and hazel eyes. She reportedly had a fight with her parents about school and is presumed to have run away from home. However, her family believes she is in danger and may have been lured away from home by a man she met on Facebook.

According to Haylee Pettis, a family friend, Huddleston left a note at her home on Friday afternoon after she had been in an argument with her parents about school. In essence, the note simply stated that she would be taken care of.

Family and friends believe that Huddleston may be with an older individual and are concerned for her safety. After reviewing Huddleston’s recent activity on Facebook, they had seen that she had been having conversations with some people in Logan.

Facebook – Find Indica Huddleson

From The Desert News:

Police investigating the disappearance of a 16-year-old girl may be elevating her status to an endangered missing person.

Although that won’t necessarily change the way the investigation into what happened to Indica Huddleston is handled, police hope the new label will draw more attention from the public.

“The fact that she’s been gone now for six days, hasn’t contacted anybody, you know, relatives or friends that we are aware of … we are looking at maybe elevating this more from a runaway to a missing child,” said Lone Peak police detective Dave Ventrano.

Her family, however, is growing increasingly concerned that Indica may be with a dangerous person.

Indica was last seen about 5 p.m. on Aug. 16. Her family found a note indicating that she had run away. But they also believe there is strong evidence to suggest she may have taken off with — or been lured away by — an older man she met on Facebook.

UPDATE I: Indica Huddleston found safe after missing a week.

Indica Huddleston was found safe and uninjured shortly before 6 p.m. Friday and was interviewed Friday night by members of the Lone Peak Police Department and the FBI, her family confirmed.

Her mother, Andrea Huddleston, said the family did not have much information about where their daughter has been or who she may have been with, but said before they rushed out the door to be reunited with Indica that this was “the call we’ve been longing for.”

3 Year Old Girl Drowns as 37 Year Old Babysitter Kariasa Thomas Reads Facebook

WHEN FACEBOOK KILLS …

37 year old Kariasa Thomas was reportedly on FACEBOOK when she was supposed to be babysitting and watching a 3 year old girl. This woman was so distracted while on the social media site that she forgot about the child she was in charge of as the 3 year old drown in the swimming poll. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! This irresponsible moron is being charged of reckless injury to a child. That’s it?  Kariasa Thomas told police she used her phone to log on to Facebook for about 15 minutes, plus played with her dog. Because God forbid you be doing your job and actually looking out after the child!

A Dallas woman who allegedly was distracted by Facebook has been charged after a 3-year-old girl she was supposed to watch drowned in a pool.

Dallas County jail records show 37-year-old Kariasa Thomas was being held Wednesday on a charge of reckless injury to a child.

Officials say Kanyce Giddings couldn’t swim and drowned on June 22.

Police say Thomas was watching a friend’s four children, including Kanyce, at an apartment complex pool that closed for the evening. An affidavit says Thomas told police she used her phone to log on to Facebook for about 15 minutes, plus played with her dog.

So all this woman is being charged with is reckless injury to a child? What about child endangerment. There has got to be something else that can charge this idiot with.

Home of Missing 11 Year Old Autistic Boy Terry Dewayne Smith Jr. Being Treated As a Crime Scene … Authorities Searching for Possible Human Remains (Update: Remains Found, Serving Search Warrants) (Update: The 16 Year Old Brother Arrested for Murder)

11 year old Terry Dewayne Smith Jr. has been missing since July 6, 2013 in Menifee, California. The 11 year old autistic boy went missing on Saturday at 7:30 pm at his home in the 33000 block of Helen Lane. However, there appears to be some breaking events in the case. The Menifee Mayor Scott Mann has stated that investigators are treating the home of Terry Dewayne Smith Jr. as a crime scene. According to accounts, authorities are searching for possible human remains of the missing boy at his home.

Authorities in Southern California are searching for possible human remains at the home of an 11-year-old autistic boy who vanished over the weekend.

Menifee Mayor Scott Mann says investigators are treating the home of Terry Dewayne Smith Jr. as a crime scene.

Riverside County sheriff’s Deputy Albert Martinez tells the Riverside Press-Enterprise that detectives were led to the home shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday based on evidence indicating there might be a body there.

However, authorities aren’t releasing any details.

UPDATE I: Remains found; investigators serving search warrants.

Remains? Hmm, the boy has supposedly only been missing since Saturday. One would think that there would be an identifiable body, not just remains at this point. That is if he actually went missing on Saturday and sadly, not if animals possible were involved.

Investigators serving a search warrant at the Menifee home of an 11-year-old autistic boy missing since Saturday have found remains and are trying to determine if they are human, sheriff’s official said.

The search for Terry Smith, missing since Saturday, has been suspended and investigators have been combing the yard of the boy’s Menifee home since early this morning.

Sheriff’s officials went to the property about 1:30 a.m. based on information there may be human remains there, said Deputy Albert Martinez, a spokesman for the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department. But Martinez did not disclose who led investigators there.
