The Abduction of Bryan Dos Santos-Gomes

      The Abduction of Bryan Dos Santos-Gomes

According to the FBI, Bryan was about 3-4 weeks old, on December 1, 2006, when a female who  was described as Mexican-American, kidnapped him.  Bryan was kidnapped near his home, in Fort Myers, FL. Rumors say he was kidnapped, due to his parents being here, in the U.S. illegally; and, that his parents fell behind in the payments.

According to The Charley Project, the mother, Maria, and her friend, Janice Duarte were waiting for the bus, when the alleged kidnapper approached the pair, looking for directions to her mother’s house (my notes- who doesn’t know where her mother’s house is?!)

The alleged kidnapper followed the bus, approached the pair once more (my notes- WHY follow the bus? What did she think was going to happen? The two women obviously didn’t know where her mother lived. So it was a ruse.) They got into her vehicle, with Bryan. The woman allowed the friend to leave. (my notes- WHO gets into a stranger’s car!?) 

The alleged kidnapper demanded $500, made threats to harming the families, said she was going to Tampa, FL. The mother, Maria, said the abduction was planned because there was a car seat and diaper bag already in the car. Not long after Bryan’s abduction, a female approached a grandmother out with her grandchild. Later, she and Maria chose the same woman out of a line-up. It’s not clear what the woman wanted with the grandmother.

The Naples Daily News is the first that mentions the kidnapper using a knife to kidnap Maria, Bryan, and Maria’s friend. Fox 4’s update said the National Center for Missing and Exploited children is pushing for more tips.

The Disappearance of Maura Murray

-
 The Disappearance of Maura Murray This case has so many questions than it does answers.  I believe that she’s not missing but deceased. Q. Was she an overachiever who had had enough and started over somewhere? If so, why cut her family out of her life? Was her family part of the problem? Q. What was with the rag in the muffler? I could never get a clear understanding of why the girls’ father would teach them to do that. According to the Murray’s website, Maura disappeared on the evening of February 9, 2004, after she crashed her car on Rt. 112 in Haverhill, NH. At the time of her disappearance, she was enrolled as a junior in a nursing program at the University of Massachusetts. Her story has made international headlines. (My question: WHY did it garner such interest? There is nothing that I could find that would suggest such an interest). Why has it had so much media coverage? Family website says Maura submitted work electronically and emailed professors about a family death...

                     WHAT IS IN YOUR CAR EMERGENCY KIT? Consider the following scenario: you are traveling long distance to grandma’s  house for the holidays and encounter light snowfall, which soon turns into  heavy snowfall and you are forced to pull over and wait it out.  Are you prepared? What about for the next seventy-two hours?  When we think of a car emergency, we tend to think of it simply over- heating (that is a problem in and of itself), or simply having a flat tire  that needs to be changed, or even running out of gas. When you are  out, you are not likely thinking about having an emergency travel kit for your  car, or even what is in yours, should you already have one. It is important  that you take a look at what is in your car emergency kit or even consider  buying, or making a do it yourself kit . It is also important that you ...

Breathingtaking Views: Come Live in Anchorage, AK

  Breathtaking Views: Come Live In Anchorage, AK When you hear the name Anchorage, do you picture snow? Do you think of the  northern lights? Do you think of open skies, land, and quiet? You’re not too far  off the mark, but there is a lot more to Anchorage. According to weatherspark ,  the snow falls around 6.5 months of the year but there are clear, dry, and perfect  seasons, too! In addition to the four seasons, you CAN see the northern lights , or  the aurora borealis, but only during September to April, with the clear nights.  According to an 1880 census , there were once just 430 non-natives living  in Anchorage. The Gold Rush of 1898 changed a lot of places in the west, including Anchorage. It was recorded there were 40,000 non-natives living in  Anchorage. It was around 1915 when Congress authorized a railroad to be built  and people flocked to take advantage of the labor. However, it wasn’t until 1935  when a program called...
