Body Found in Search for Missing Oakland Investigator Sandra Coke, No Positive ID Yet (Update: Body Found ID’d as Missing Sandra Coke)
A body has been found, but has yet to be identified in the search for missing federal criminal investigator Sandra Coke. The body was found by Contra Costa County sheriff’s search and rescue teams in a woodsy area near Laguna Valley Park in Vacaville. Although the authorities have yet to positively identify the name of the individual they have found, they have called off searches for Coke. Sandra Coke has been missing since August 4, 2013, who was last seen Sunday evening with a paroled, high-risk sex offender, Randy Alana, 56. Friends of Coke say she briefly dated Alana more than 20 years ago.
A female body was discovered Friday afternoon in the area where California authorities were searching for a missing federal criminal investigator.
The body, which has yet to be identified, was found at about 1 p.m. in the area where officials were looking for Sandra Coke, who was reported missing since Sunday. Coke went missing after following a tip on her stolen dog.
Based on additional information obtained by the Oakland, Calif., Police Department, detectives decided to move their search-and-rescue location from the Vallejo, Calif., area to Lagoons Valley Park, an unincorporated area just outside of the city of Vacaville, Calif., according to Solano County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Daryl Snedeker.
For now, authorities have called off any additional searches.
Earlier, registered sex offender Randy Alana, 56, was identified as a person of interest in Coke’s disappearance.
UPDATE I: Sandra Coke: Body Identified as Missing California Federal Investigator.
The body of a woman found near a Northern California park last week was identified today as a missing federal investigator, according to authorities.
An autopsy completed by the Alameda County Coroner’s office confirmed the body as Sandra Coke, 50, Oakland police spokeswoman Officer Johnna Watson said during a news conference.
Watson declined to discuss Coke’s cause of death.

A 15-year-old girl missing from Boston was found dancing at a strip club in South Providence — accompanied by a convicted sex offender who’s served time for running a teen prostitution ring, according to the Providence police.
Another 15-year-old girl, who was missing from Brockton, was also found by police at a Seekonk motel where the man has been living.
Troy Footman, 51, is now charged with sex trafficking, as police investigate him for recruiting teenage girls from Boston down to Providence to work as exotic dancers and prostitutes, said Providence police Maj. David Lapatin. The Boston girl is now in the custody of state child welfare, and the Brockton girl has been returned to her family, the police said.
After getting a tip from Boston police and agents from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, two Providence detectives found the girl and 51-year-old Troy Footman inside Cheaters on Allens Avenue late Monday night, Lapatin said.
Sex offender – Troy Footman
How in the Hell is this human POS allowed to walk among us? Troy Footman has a 25 year history of sex crimes including prostitution rings of minor girls. At what point do we say enough is enough and this individual is just a threat to underage girls and should never see the light of day?
Footman has a quarter-century history of sex crimes, from a rape conviction in 1986, to being convicted of running a prostitution ring with girls as young as 14 from Massachusetts to Delaware. According to court records, Footman and another prostitute were running underage girls to prostitute themselves at various places, including a truck stop in Delaware, and taking their money.

5 Year Old Jocelyn Rojas Abducted in Lancaster, Pennsylvania Saved by 15 Year Old Temar Boggs and his Friend from a Sex Offender (Kidnapper ID’d as Registered Sex Offender Harold Herr)
HEROES OF THE DAY …
As we are surrounded by so many who only want to cause trouble, promote vigilantism and divide us … along comes two heroes where race was irrelevant and all that mattered was the safety of a 5 year old little girl. God bless these two kids who stepped up, made a difference and saved a child from a certain peril at the hands of her abductor.
Five year old Jocelyn Rojas was kidnapped while playing in her front yard at the Lancaster Arms apartments in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. According to police, Jocelyn Rojas was lured away from her home by a man who promised her ice cream. The search began for the 5 year old girl as 15 year old Temar Boggs and his friend Chris Garcia took off on their bicycles trying to find her. About two hours later and about a half mile away from her home, the two boys spotted Jocelyn in a sedan and chased after the car on their bikes. After being followed, eventually the kidnapper let the child out of the car. She ran to Temar and said that she needed her mom.
From The Raw Story, speaking to a reporter with Lancaster Online on Saturday, 15-year-old Temar Boggs said he was helping move an elderly woman’s couch at a nearby apartment complex Thursday evening when someone approached asking if he’d seen a little girl.
Jocelyn Rojas
Two teenage boys are being hailed as heroes after they chased a car carrying a kidnapped girl — on their bicycles.
Five-year-old Jocelyn Rojas was playing in her front yard in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, when she vanished Thursday afternoon. Authorities believe she was abducted by a man who lured her by offering ice cream.
For two hours, neighbors and police scoured the area and asked if anyone had seen her.
Police are looking for the suspect, described as a white male between 50 and 70 years old. He was driving a reddish-purple or maroon car with round taillights. The man was wearing green shoes, green pants and a red-and-white striped shirt. He walked with a limp.
As reported at US News, on Monday the Lancaster County district attorney identified a registered sex offender, Harold Herr, as a person of interest in a potential kidnapping case.

34 Year Old Edwin Charles Tobergta Arrested … 10 Year Old Girl Catches Perv Having Sex With a Rubber Pool Float
Well alrighty then … ICK story of the day.
34 year old Edwin Charles Tobergta was arrested for public indecency after a 10 year old little girl caught the perv having sex with a rubber pool float. Are you kidding me? I guess that poll float is being put to the curb for the garbage men to take away. Tobergta is being held at the Butler County Jail on $25,000 bond. He is scheduled to be arraigned July 23 before Butler County Common Pleas Judge Charles Pater. With a previous history of doing the exact same thing and in one case having sex with a Halloween yard decoration, what are the authorities waiting for, this perv to attack a child?
A Hamilton man repeatedly arrested for public indecency has again been indicted after a child saw him engaging in sex with a rubber raft last month, according to police.
Edwin Charles Tobergta, 34, of Harmon Avenue, was arrested June 17 for allegedly stepping out his back door naked at about 1:20 p.m. on June 15 and having “sexual relations with a rubber pool float,” according to the Hamilton police report.
In 2011, Tobergta was accused of having sex with a neighbor’s pool float. In 2002, a woman told police he did the same thing with an inflatable Halloween decoration in her yard.
Tobergta was indicted by a Butler County grand jury Wednesday for pubic indecency, a fifth-degree felony. If convicted, he faces 12 months behind bars.
Past history of criminal issues:
- In August 2011, Tobergta, was arrested at his home after he was seen engaging in sexual conduct with a pink inflatable swimming pool raft.
- He was indicted in May 2010 for tampering with evidence and possessing criminal tools
- After a July 2008 conviction for felony public indecency, he was sentenced to five years community control after he was naked standing in a neighbor’s yard engaging in sexual activity
- In December 2006, Tobergta was charged with public indecency and aggravated menacing while being held at the Butler County Jail.
- In 2002, a woman told police he did the same thing with an inflatable Halloween decoration in her yard
