Islamic State Butchers Another

The Islamic State, ISIS, put another nail in it's own coffin as it butchered another innocent person, David Haines, from Great Briton.

The video, lasting 2 minutes 27 seconds was produced by the al Furqan Media Foundation in an attempt to sway public opinion against U.S. policy.  

In reality, the butchering of innocent third parties and producing garish videos has had the opposite effect. Many who have encouraged the U.S. to use it's military force judiciously are now advocating for Western intervention against an open and hostile threat not only to Western views, but to Islamic views.  ISIS does not represent main stream Islamic thinking and poses a threat to all people seeking peace throughout the world.

The videos are reminiscent of Viet Nam era videos in which prisoners of the North Viet Nam terror regime forced prisoners to recite anti-American statements.  Common sense and later account by the prisoners themselves revealed the statements were made under duress.  Clearly, the victims of brutal repression who are forced to denounce Western powers oppose those who then end their lives in a grisly depiction of supposed Islamic hate.

Standing behind Haines is a man with an accent similar to the one who executed Steven Joel Sotloff and James Wright.  The speaker claims England's alliance with the U.S. would "hasten it's destruction."

Western powers started their alliance against brutal dictators and despots.  The ISIS terrorist threat simply represents the latest in the assault of free thinking people.

TRANSCRIPT

[David Cameron]

We have to stick to the very clear foreign policy and the very clear strategy we have, which is to work with the new Iraqi government to help make sure the Kurds get the arms they need to fight off these brutal, extremist militants, to work with our allies, and as I've said to use everything we have - our aid, our diplomacy, and our military prowess - to make sure that with our allies we do everything we can to put pressure on Islamic State, the supporting organization...

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

A Message to the Allies of America

0:50

My name is David Cawthorne Haines. I would like to declare that I hold you, David Cameron, entirely responsible for my execution. You entered voluntarily into a coalition with the United States against the Islamic State, just as your predecessor Tony Blair did, following a trend amongst our British prime ministers who can't find the courage to say no to the Americans. Unfortunately, it is we the British public that in the end will pay for the price for our parliament's selfish decisions.

[Executioner]

This British man has to pay the price for your promise to Cameron to arm the Peshmerga against the Islamic State. Ironically, he has spent a decade of his life serving under the brutal air force that is responsible for delivering those arms. Your evil alliance with America, which continues to strike the Muslims of Iraq and most recently bombed the Haditha Dam, will only accelerate your destruction, and playing the role of the obedient lapdog, Cameron, will only drag you and your people into another bloody and unwinnable war.

[Executioner stands with another Briton, Alan Henning]

If you Cameron insist on fighting the Islamic State then you, like your master, Obama, will have the blood of your people on your hands.

Miller Sues Alleged Murderer

Tim Miller from the JB Mission.com

Dickinson, Texas August 27th, 2014 Timothy Miller, the founder of Texas EquuSearch, filed a $110 million wrongful death lawsuit against Clyde E. Hedrick in the death of his 16-year-old daughter, Laura Lynn Miller in Galveston County. The civil lawsuit filed by Dickinson Attorney Wilbur "Pete" Dunten alleges Hedrick is responsible for his willing and
intentional murder of Laura in League City, Texas in September 1984. Although Hedrick has never been charged, Miller has worked closely with investigators and believes Hedrick will be held accountable in her death.

"We filed this wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of our client Tim Miller today, and hope to give some semblance of justice in this horrible event. We know that nothing can ever give a parent justice in these circumstances, but at least it is a step in the right direction. Maybe it will move the justice system in the direction of a final resolution to the perpetrator of this
horrendous crime," Dunten said.

Laura, who disappeared from a pay phone in League City on September 10, 1984, was found deceased 17 months later in a wooded area off Calder Road in League City. Her remains were scattered in a remote area where three other females' remains were also found. This location became known as a dumping ground for victims and was later featured in the movie, "Texas Killing Fields."

In a sense, Miller is like the famous show host, John Walsh, who produced "America's Most Wanted", and whose son was abducted and murdered. Walsh chases criminals while Miller helps locate the victims, both living and deceased. However, in this case, Miller chases criminals, too. 

"I feel as though it was Clyde from the very beginning and now he has been convicted on Ellen's death. I have no doubt in my mind Clyde is responsible for Laura, Heidi, and Jane Doe's deaths. And I will continue to fight to get him indicted and convicted in their deaths. Maybe a $110 million lawsuit
seems unreasonable to some, but at this time we will find any assets, properties, etc. Clyde owns and certainly do our best to seize any of his assets," Miller said.  "And I am going to do everything I am capable of doing within the limits of the law to make sure Clyde does not profit from any books, movies or any memorabilia while he is incarcerated."

Hedrick, who lived on the same street as Miller at the time of Laura's disappearance, is currently incarcerated in a Texas prison serving a 20-year sentence for second degree murder in the death of another woman, Ellen Rae Beason. The  Beason trial was held in Galveston County in March 2014, 30
years after Ellen's disappearance.

Oklahoma Teen Matthew Durham Accused of Sex Charges

A 19 year old Edmond, Oklahoma, man is being held in a U.S. jail for sexually molesting multiple children at an African orphanage.  Matthew Lane Durham made several trips as a missionary and aid worker to a Kenyan orphanage, the Upendo Children's Home in Nairobi, in support of their efforts to help children in that country.  

On Durham's last trip from April though June of 2014, he asked to stay in an over-flow bunk area, instead of at an off site location.  An aid became suspicious and confronted some of the children, who told the aid worker of Durham's activities.  

An Orphanage in  Juja, Nairobi

Durham was then questioned by one of Upendo founders, who confiscated his passport.  The founder used her cell phone to take a video of her interview with Durham as he recounted his exploits with the children.  He allegedly confessed to problems with homosexuality and pornography.   When the confession became more than the founder could bear, she asked Durham to write a confession, which Durham allegedly did.

From that point, Kenyan officials were notified at the police station in Juja.  The Juja  officials had some of the children submit to medical examinations.  They gave Durham his passport back and he fled to the U.S.

According to allegations, Durham had sexual contact with both boys and girls aged four to ten.  Some of the boys were allegedly asked to perform oral sex on Durham.  Others were asked to fondle themselves while Durham watched.  One of the girls Durham allegedly molested is HIV positive.  Many of the acts occurred in the group home's bathroom.

AIDS is not a homosexual disease in Africa.  Instead, it has rampaged through heterosexual transmission via prostitutes.  Children of infected mothers are often victims of AIDS.

Durham is 19 years old.  He faces a potential life sentence.  

U.S. residents often believe they can molest children with impunity in foreign countries.  Thailand, for example, has been a famous destination for pedophiles.  However, the U.S. has passed laws making the mere travel with the intent of molesting children a crime, in part as a result of the appeal of third world countries to help stop sex tourism and sex trafficking.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement division is often involved in the investigation and apprehension of sex tourists.  Scott Lobb of the Federal Bureau of Investigation was involved in this investigation.  Durham came under scrutiny in the U.S. after the alleged hand written letter was turned over to the consular division.  They notified the U.S. Department of State Diplomatic Security Criminal Investigative Office.

Durham is charged with traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct; engaging in illicit sexual conduct in foreign places; attempt and conspiracy; and aggravated sexual abuse with children.

According to law, all persons accused are presumed innocent until proven guilty.  Durham's attorney has indicated the charges are not solid.  The truth will be found through the legal process.  At least today there is recourse for victims of sex tourism through U.S. criminal channels.

Families, Texas Equusearch Respond To RCC-NZ Search Review

From Texas Equusearch: 

"The search for the missing schooner Nina by the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ) fell short and was poorly managed according to the Families of the seven (7) missing crew, including six (6) Americans and one Brit," the release states.

"The Families do not agree with and have responded in writing to the so-called ‘independent’ review of the efforts by the RCCNZ to search for the 70 foot historic schooner Nina. The text of the Families’ summary letter delivered to Mr. Keith Manch, the Director of Maritime New Zealand follows," representatives say in the release.

 From some of the Nina families:

July 20, 2014  

     We have received the Independent Report of the search and rescue (SAR) for the Nina and her crew. We respectfully send our sincere thanks to the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ) for all their efforts in this lengthy and complex effort.

     Our wish is that if the crew members have indeed died, their deaths and all the extraordinary effort that went into finding them will not have been in vain. We hope to save others the same anguish.

     In this spirit, we offer the opinion that several aspects of the report are not adequately addressed and warrant further inquiry. We remain particularly concerned about the delay in launching the search and the initial selection of search coordinates. Questions about what was known from the Iridium satellite phone data, how the information was used in the first crucial days, and whether that data should have been used at all are raised by the report itself:

"analysis raises deep suspicion on the reliability of the Iridium positions". (page 36)

     Also questionable is changing the ETA in Australia. Scheduled arrival was June 10; extending that to June 25th may have been harmful. Regarding use of radar data, some research shows that small wooden vessels cannot be detected over 20 miles. Additional serious, documented concerns remain; we would be pleased to work directly with you if you are inclined to address them.

A constant concern throughout this episode has been that there was an underlying, counterproductive undercurrent of contention between us – that is, between RCCNZ and Texas
EquuSearch (TES) working with associated volunteers on our behalf. Author David Baird notes:

“The relationship between TES and RCCNZ did not start well; they did not appear to share the same objective”. (page 56)

possibly of the Nina.  The RCC-NZ refused to search
for the identified boat saying they thought it
was most likely a wave.

     The report goes on to state various criticisms of TES actions, ignoring in spirit the tireless effort of people bound together by faith, determination, and courage. This is unfair, contrary to an overall attitude of fortitude and common purpose, and this attitude dominates the report.

     We cannot, however, overlook the admirable traditions of professionalism and dedication that continue to distinguish the RCCNZ. We can grow closer in our mutual goals. For example, perhaps we can exchange thoughts on expanding partnerships with private companies, as suggested by Diane Hockenberry of Iridium Communications Inc, McClean, Virginia, andDigitalGlobe, Inc., which re-tasked satellites to assist us.

     We know that in the final analysis you join with us and the mariners of the world in embracing the words of Psalm 107, forever in our hearts:

Those who go down to the sea in ships . . . they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distresses.

Two men were recovered from Mount Evans after they disappeared on a hike in April of this year, according to the Clear Creek County Sheriff's Office.

A family spokesperson has confirmed the bodies are the remains of Damian McManus, 51, and Evan McManus, 18.  They are a father-son team from Minnesota who were last seen hiking near in April.

Kristin Wolf, from Arvada, Colorado, said "Wrapping the McManus family so very tightly in prayers. Such bittersweet news to receive...information so desperately wanted, and yet, not wanted at all. Finally some answers, and perhaps a sense of relief, but still ... having reality confirmed feels unspeakably painful," on the Damian and Evan face book page. 

KMSP-TV

The Alpine and Rocky Mountain Rescue teams are recovering the bodies. The county coroners office will perform an official identification, the sheriff's office said in a news release.

Firefighters from Minneapolis areas, St. Louis Park, Edina and Eden Prairie finished a search for the bodies four days ago on a trip to Colorado.  However, it is unknown whether the firefighters found the bodies. 

The McManus vehicle was found at the Echo Peak Campground near the base of Mount Evans.  They told friends and family they planned to scale one of Colorado's peaks during a father and son spring break trip.  

An organization in Texas, called Texas Equusearch, (TES) performs the function the Minneapolis performed in Colorado.  They marshal resources and manpower for physical searches.  Sometimes finding missing persons is a matter of putting enough boots on the ground.  TES also helps families raise funds for private search efforts and contributes expertise and high tech resources.  They have been successful in finding over 300 people alive and recovering over 150 persons who had perished.

Texas Equusearch Finds Again

Photo Fox News

Houston, Texas - July 14, 2014 Texas Equusearch (TES) comes to the rescue again.  This time it was for a missing Houston family, the Heilmans, whose son, Jeremy, disappeared.  The 19 year old youth is autistic, which for those in the know means he is a bright child, but has problems relating to his surroundings.

According to an official from Equusearch, Jeremy was at church one moment, and then gone.  TES did it's magic and the matter became a cause for the community, thanks to FOX news.

Jeremy wanted to go on a big adventure, according to the two viewers who spotted Jeremy walking down the road.  Richard Mungia and Peggy McGullum are heroes today.  Although Peggy always brings her lunch to work, she and Richard decided to go out for a change.  There Jeremy was, sprite and looking for that adventure.

According to My Fox.com, Muniga asked, "Is your name Jeremy?"

The youth replied. "Yes."

Muniga said, "They are looking for you!"

Jeremy queried, "Am I in trouble?"

No, is a simple answer.  What 19 year old isn't looking for adventure in life?  What powers are there that bring people who otherwise would never meet together?  In part, FOX News.  Behind the scenes, though, is TES, and God.

Amy Ahonen, Missing Since 2011, Found Dead

Denver, Co. Amy Ahonen may have been found dead, if DNA collected from the remains of a female who perished in Clear Creek County turn out to belong to the missing woman.  Denver Police say there is a "possible" chance, according to reports in the Denver Post.

The last time anyone saw Amy was on July 8th, 2011.  That was the day before her 38th birthday.  Her jeep Liberty was found abandoned in Clear Creek Canyon in Jefferson County, near U.S. 6.

On the find Amy page on face book this message was posted:

"Today is a sad day, as we are relieved to finally have some closure regarding Amy, however it is hard news to bear. We thought it only fair to share the news with all of you, friends and family both, that have shared in this heartbreaking journey these last few years. Some remains that were found have been confirmed to be those of our beloved Amy. That is all the information we have at this time."

According to Fox News, a hiker found a bone while trekking through the Clear Creak area.  He turned the bone into the Westminster Police Department.  Independently, a bone was found and turned over to the Adams County Sheriff's Office.  Both the Adam's County and the University of Texas tested fragments for a possible DNA match.  Both labs agreed, the remains belong to Ahonen, Fox News claims.  

It is easy to speculate about the fate of Ahonen.  However, at this point, no one has an answer.  Her car was left unlocked and her purse was inside the car.  A strange man applied as a roommate through Craigslist before Ahonen disappeared. He was reportedly so creepy, the ad was taken down.

Apparently Ahonen was concerned, according to Fox.  Shortly before she disappeared, she called 911.  She told the operator she had broken down in Clear Creek and needed help.  A passerby saw the vehicle and called the State Patrol, as well.  However, when an officer arrived, Ahonen said she did not need help.

Colorado does not have an active Texas Equusearch chapter.  The non-profit Texas organization Marshall's manpower and resources to assist law enforcement in searching large areas.  When a person goes missing, like in the Ahonen case, a call out to members is made.  Working under law enforcement supervision, the searchers comb the area.  Sometimes high tech devices are used including drones and for persons lost near bodies of water, sonar.  

Texas Equusearch teams have found over 300 people alive who law enforcement could not fine.  They have also found the remains of over 100 people.

Disabled Man's Family Calls Texas Equusearch

Intellectual Disability Hampers Search

Derivative from Fox News Photo

ORLANDO, FLORIDA, March 4th, 2013  A family desperate for the return of a loved one called in Texas Equusearch to help them locate a man who went missing in Ocklawaha.

Texas Equusearch, or TES as they call themselves, has chapters in multiple states and is credited with finding many people who law enforcement was unable to locate.  They are also credited with the location and recovery of bodies of people who have perished, which at least gives family members closure.  TES has been a key adviser in the search for the missing schooner, Nina.

Johnny Radabaugh, Jr., a 48 year old who suffers from mental slowing has not been seen for a week.  No evidence has been found to suggest he is not alive, except no one can find him.  Family members have faith and say Johnny is in the forest and alive.

Radabaugh is thought to have the mental capacity of a 3 to 6 year old child.  Therefore, his ability rescue himself is difficult.  However, just as society has struggled with terms to define people with mental impairment, often the person with mental slowing is able to cope in ways not expected.

As is typical, the local police force scaled back operations after they were unable to find Johnny.  The family decided to enlist the aid of TES to apply more resources to the search effort.  TES often works at the behest of law enforcement.  They offer man power, help organize a private search if necessary and help the families organize fund raising events when necessary.  TES is an all volunteer organization.  Funds are used to defray the hard costs of searching.

"They're going to be able to find him. No matter how our situation comes to an end. They're going to give us an end and that's why we called them," said Kim Radabaugh, Johnny's step mom.

The sheriff's office has agreed to help guide TES.  The new physical search could begin as early as March 5, 2013.  The family asks people in the area to watch for piles of rocks, sticks, aresol cans and other evidence Johnny passed through.
