12 Year Old Amber White Missing Since 7/18/10 in Louisiana, Two Men Arrested (Update: Found Unharmed)

12 year old Amber White has been missing since Sunday, July 18, 2010 in Shreveport, Louisiana. The 12 year old girl was last seen at a neighborhood pool party around 3 p.m. near her home in the 6900 block of Buncombe Road. When her parents returned to pick her up, she was gone. Amber White was last seen wearing a green “Soulja Boy” t-shirt, cut-off shorts, and a blue, white, and brown cropped jacket.

12 year Old Amber White Missing

Amber’s mother Karen says that after not finding Amber at the pool she went to all of Amber’s friends’ houses in the neighborhood, thinking she had gone to one of their houses to get out of a sudden rainstorm.

Amber was last seen wearing a “Soulja Boy” t-shirt and her mother said she told Amber earlier that day that she was not allowed to go to the “Soulja Boy” concert that night.

Police and family members later went to the concert looking for Amber but did not find her there.

Amber White description:

•  white 12 year old female
• height: 5-foot-9
• weight: 140 pounds
• brown eyes
• reddish-blonde hair
• last seen wearing a green “Soulja Boy” T-shirt, cut-off jean shorts and a navy blue-white-and-brown crop jacket. Police said she girl might have changed clothes and could be wearing a black tank top and gray-and-burgundy plaid pajama bottoms

According to reports, police received a tip that two witnesses reported seeing a girl matching Amber’s description getting into a dark blue 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass. Authorities would later locate the vehicle abandoned in a parking lot and impounded it. The owner of the vehicle, 25 year-old Henry Lee, was then tracked down and arrested. Lee has been charged with one count of aggravated kidnapping of a child. Police have also arrested a second man, 19-year-old Brandon Player. He was arrested and has been charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Amber’s parents are worried that she might have left home willingly but gotten in over her head. Way over her head to say the least. The fact that two individuals have been arrested and there is no sign of the 12 year old Amber White cannot be a good sign. Both men were the subject of intense police questioning, but White’s whereabouts remain unknown.

Even if her daughter left on her own, White said, she believes she would be home by now. Amber was looking forward to going back to school after being home schooled most of last year, she said.

“No matter what she’s done — if she did have a play in any of this — I can forgive her for anything,” White said. “But I need her alive to forgive her.

If anyone has any information as to Amber’s whereabouts they are asked to call the Shreveport Crime Stoppers tip line at 318-673-7373.

UPDATE I: Amber White has been Found Safe & Unharmed.

Amber White has been found safe; however, the charges against 25 year old Henry Lee have been been upped from attempted kidnapping to aggravated rape.

After days of worrying about their missing 12-year-old daughter, Amber White’s family can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The young girl who disappeared during a neighborhood pool party Sunday afternoon has been found safe, although just what happened to her isn’t entirely clear.

According to Shreveport, La. police, a Crime Stoppers tip led them to a convenience store in Shreveport Tuesday. Upon arrival, police learned the young girl was previously picked up there by her father, reports CBS affiliate KSLA.

Kidnap and Rape Victim Jaycee Dugard Receives $20 Million From California Lawmakers

What is the price of rape, kidnap and being held captive for 18 years by a registered sex offender? The answer is $20 million!!! California law makers appropriated $20 million to kidnap and rape victim Jaycee Dugard in an effort to settle her claims against the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.

Actually, there probably can be no price put on the conditions that Jaycee Dugard was forced to endure at the hands of a paroled scum bag sex offender. What we can hope is that the damages were so high and the actions of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation so embarrassing that they never act so irresponsibly ever again when it comes to the supervision of paroled sex offenders.

The settlement was approved by the Assembly after Dugard and her daughters filed a claim through the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board, accusing the state of negligence, failure to discharge a mandatory duty and infliction of emotional distress stemming from the fact that Garrido was under state parole supervision for previous crimes.

The California Assembly on Thursday passed a bill appropriating $20 million to kidnapping victim Jaycee Dugard to settle her claims against the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, according to the chief clerk’s office.

The bill passed on a 30-1 vote in the Senate and a 62-0 vote in the Assembly, according to CNN affiliate KCRA. Corrections officials entered into the settlement with Dugard, the station said.

The Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation failed to properly keep tabs on paroled sex offender Phillip Garrido or any reports of the presence of a 12 year old girl. The California authorities failure and neglect to do their job resulted in sex offender Phillip Garrido to hold Jaycee Dugard captive as a sex slave for 18 years.

Jaycee Dugard disappeared in 1991 at the age of 11 and was missing for 18 years. Then in August of 2009 Jaycee Duagrd was amazingly found by authorities living in a shed in  Antioch, California in the back yard of  Phillip Garrido, a paroled registered sex offender. When finally located, Dugard was 30 years old and had two children, fathered by her sex offender capture.

We can only hope that this will be a lesson for the future to take the supervision of paroled registered sex offenders seriously. They do not stop and they cannot be rehabilitated. The protection of children from sex offenders is a serious matter. Let’s hope this settlement highlights the point!
