Missing 3 Year Old From Baltimore," Lil' Guy"

Thanks to Mammabear from ~Lost Faces of the Missing~


LOOK at the picture...He is such a beautiful little boy! He don't deserve to be shuffled through the system like

a package of unclaimed freight!!!

PLEASE, if you recognize the boy in this picture, Step forward and speak up for Lil' Guy!

Yeah! There are already too many John Does in this world...so I kinda chose Lil' Guy for him.

If you don't like the nickname I picked out, and you know his TRUE IDENTITY, then PLEASE speak up!

Ask yourself these questions:

What happens to this young boy, if nobody comes forward? Without a parent to sign papers, can he EVER be adopted? OR Will Lil' Guy be shuffled around from family to family, in the foster care system?

How on earth can someone NOT be looking for this darling child?  We are trying to get updates about this child from the authorities in Maryland to see if he has at least been given a name and a family.  If anyone knows a way to expedite this process, please step up.  I will try to post any updates that we hear about him.

Donna Jou, Monday4 the Missing

We live our lives everyday without worries or cares of the danger that lurks behind those dark corners that we know are there but choose to ignore. Thinking "that will never happen to me". But the reality of that is we are wrong.

Our lives can change just like that! In a blink of an eye. Without notice. Everyday living, normal events and routine should be anything but dangerous you would think. But it is not. Who would have thought that going to a party would change the lives of so many innocent people? And It did for Donna Jou and her family.

Donna Jou was a young lady with dreams, goals, expectations and her whole life ahead of her until she met with a man named John Steven Burgess on a website called craigslist..She was offering her services as a math tutor and John Burgess was listing rooms for rent at his home in Los Angeles. Donna did not know this man was a sex offender, he failed to register himself.

Donna being the trusting person that she is, not aware of the evil that lurks in the shadows. Met up with this man John Steven Burgess and jumped on his motorcycle to attend a party at his house for the evening on June 23 2007. She said bye to her mother without thinking twice and took off down the road.

Donna Jou has not been seen since. On June 24th the next day Nili Jou receives a text message from her daughters cell phone saying "batteries dying. In San Diego. Be home soon. I love you mommy" Was that text from Donna Jou? Her mom does not seem to think so because of the format in which the text was wrote..That very same day Donna's family report her missing to Orange county sheriffs office after she does not show up for work or school.

John Burgess roommate tell police that Donna was at the party and on July 5th Burgess was seen packing cardboard boxes in his truck and that's the last time he has seen him.

A few days later a man finds a box stuffed under some vines a mile and a half away from Burgess home, with a vanity license plate "SINJIN1" from Burgess truck, a black motorcycle helmet, rubber dish washing gloves, rope and a scrub brush. Why was John Burgess hiding these items? One can only speculate because he gives no answers to what he did to Donna or where she is..

Burgess who is now serving a three year sentence in prison on charges of failure to register as a sex offender continues to taunt the family of Donna Jou. He is the only one who knows exactly what happened to Donna and where she is but he says nothing..And why..To try to save himself? ...He keeps this all to himself because he can. Because he is selfish, uncaring, heartless, sick, disgrace to human kind, and evil. I mean for Pete's sakes he likes to touch himself in front of children and touch them..He should have been locked up and the key be thrown away from the start..Why would anyone let this sick twisted man walk the streets with our children anyway!! Or another person for that matter.

A search was conducted December 29-30 through out the Santa Monica Mountains in Malibu..And yet the question still remains...Where is Donna Jou and what happened to her?

How does one continue to draw strength to go on searching and looking for answers that never seem to be in reach..Determination, love, hope and peace. Something I myself have learned from my own experience with my missing mother.

To Nila and Reza Jou, your family and Donna are thought of greatly..Your pain, and sorrow is heard and felt by all. Even by people who have not walked in your shoes. Your Donna is touching so many lives and hearts. YOU are touching so many lives and hearts...Especially mine.

Brenda Lambert and Mark Cook

written by: Seeker

Law Enforcement nor anyone else in West Virginia will never do

anything to find our precious sister, so we are leaving this to God"

This is a quote from a site loved ones of BRENDA LAMBERT have
posted.

When I read this, my heart literally skipped a beat.
It is so typical
of how the missing are viewed by LE (everywhere)
and those who foolishly think,

"that will never happen to me,
Those things only happen to other people."

From what I have read, BRENDA did not leave willingly,
especially on her son's first birthday. Who would miss that
milestone? Not to mention, no personal items were missing.

Along with Ms. Lambert, MARK ANTHONY COOK is
missing from that same area. Surely, someone somewhere
knows just the right piece of information that could possibly
bring not one, but two families closure.

After a loved one goes missing there are no more ordinary
days.

From that day forward perspectives and personalities change.

I hope BRENDA's children were told the good about her and
not just the bad. I hope all children of the missing know
they were not abandoned and given the choice their mom
(mommy, momma, ma, mum, mother,...) would be home
with their children.

I understand the family leaving it in the hands of God.
If He calls the stars by name, I know He knows
every name of
every missing person ! And, will

one

day

call their names.

Until then, we will all Seek together,

Lambert family, you are in my
prayers.

Keep the faith!

Tom Starkel, Monday4 the Missing

by Mammabear

Tom Starkel was a very special young man in my life who disppeared off the face of the earth back in Dec. 1979, Its been a very long time but I've never given up hope of finding him justice!!! someone out there knows what happen that night..

I found the above message posted on
Missing Pieces Official Message Board
That's almost 30 years Missing! A lot can happen in a 30 year span. People wed, and/or have children. Some make their fortune, while others loose everything. Time just moves on along, as usual. At least time moves forward for some people.
For others, time is nothing more than a standstill limbo. Sure, they go through the motions of being here, 'in the now.' Yet in reality, they are faced with that one haunting question... and in Hollyjean's case, her question for almost 30 years has been "What Happened to Tom Starkel?"

Vital Statistics
Date Of Birth: July 15, 1960
Age at Time of Disappearance: 19 years old
Height and Weight at Time of Disappearance: 5'6"; 150 lbs.
Distinguishing Characteristics: White male. Blond hair; green eyes.
Clothing: Tan sweater and brown corduroy pants.

If you have any information concerning this case, please contact:
Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department 323-526-5541
Agency Case Number: 079124061
NCIC Number:M-648165993
The Doe Network

Details of Disappearance
Starkel was last seen leaving his girlfriend's home in Palmdale, California on December 5, 1979. Authorities believe he did arrive at his own apartment afterwards, but he has never been heard from again. Starkel was driving a dark green Pontiac Firebird with Nevada license plates at the time of his disappearance. His vehicle was recovered two weeks later, when it was pulled over driving into California from Nevada. Another individual was driving the vehicle and there was no sign of Starkey. The person was arrested and held for about two weeks, but eventually released for lack of evidence connecting him to Starkey's disappearance. Starkey's case remains unsolved.
The Charley Project

I've been sifting through google, looking for whatever information I can find about Tom. One thing that has me a bit puzzled is the fact that Tom disappeared without a trace, and someone else was found driving his vehicle. (arrested then later released due to lack of evidence) YET when I view .state.ca.us/ Tom is listed as a Voluntary Missing Adult?
Missing Person

Other than a few sites, such as The Charley Project and The Doe Network, there really isn't much information out there about Tom. He's not on
North American Missing Persons, a sister site of The Doe Network, or the National Center for Missing Adults.

What I see is one dedicated Hollyjean, posting on every missing person's forum she can find...in hopes of having that one question answered...What happened to Tom Starkel?

Christina Calayca, Monday4 the Missing

Christina Calayca has one of the widest, happiest smiles I have ever seen along with a twinkle in her eye that makes her whole face sparkle with life.

Christina was not a rugged outdoors type person according to family members and it is a mystery to them that she would be jogging at the Rainbow Falls Provincial Park in Canada. She had told family members that she was planning a trip to Montreal for a Christian retreat over a long weekend, and they feel if she went camping it would be somewhere that there was a semblance of civilization and amenities, not in a primitive, rugged area. Apparently Christina and her friends decided to ditch the Montreal plans and headed for the area near Thunder Bay.

It is reported that she was going for a jog with a fire fighter friend, got tired and said she was turning back. She never made it back to the rugged campsite and what happened next continues to be a mystery. The park is so rugged that searchers who were covering the are were injured and a search dog also went missing. There are several drop offs in the hilly, rough terrain and the family was kept back from the search area because of the dangers.

After 17 days of massive searching they turned up no clues as to what happened to Christina. They continue to go up and down the many trails that she could have taken and the authorities do not suspect foul play from any of her friends she travelled there with. Black bear attack has been ruled out, also.

A year after she went missing on August 6, 2007, her mother has peace within feeling that Christina is in heaven. Her friends live with the regrets of leaving her to jog alone, but no one has forgotten her and that beautiful smile.

By all accounts she was a vibrant 20 year old and loved by many. She is missed by her close knit family and friends. Her family is trying to raise $100,000 to renew extensive searching for her.

"The peace that I have after that," Rutledge (Christina's mother)breathes. "I said truly she is in heaven. She is really taken care of by God."

Brenda Joan Allen Szabo

Brenda Joan Allen Szabo started having children at the age of 17. She left her first born, a 7 month old son, on the steps of a New York City Police station. Around the same time her then boyfriend died of a drug over dose and she left town when police tried to question her about it.

Brenda continued to have three more children by different fathers who also died tragic deaths including heroin overdose, suicide and a car accident. Brenda used a number of aliases as she crisscrossed the country and had several run ins with the law along the way. In the 70's Brenda landed in jail for her part in an armed robbery, and left her last daughter, Elizabeth Jeanette, in foster care until she got out.

In a letter to her social worker, Brenda confided doubts in her ability to be a mother and stated in that letter "I never looked at life or being a mother realistically....I have to do something for myself before I can do anything for Lisa [Elizabeth] ..I do love her."

The 80's came and Brenda made an attempt to pull her life together, get clean from drugs, and enrolled in a community college while working as a dog grooomer. A prior violation of her probation landed her back in prison at Frontera State Prison..


When she was released, she told relatives that she was heading to Dallas and would call in two weeks. She was last seen in San Diego, CA, and has never been heard from since March 1, 1983. She would now be 59 years old and a grandmother.

Her daughter, Elizabeth Alldridge, has been on a quest to find her mother since she was 18, and her search has led her to find all of her siblings, but not Brenda Szabo, their mother. She combed adoption records and pulled together some of the pieces of a family that was disbanded before it had a chance. Elizabeth feels that when Brenda was released from Frontera she embarked on a new life and has not looked back, that she is out there somewhere.

In an interview with Todd Matthews, Elizabeth tells a lot about her quest, her found siblings, and her feelings about the possiblity that Brenda Szabo has found a new life and may not want to be found.

There is always the void, there is always the wondering, the looking back. Like so many other daughters of missing mothers, Elizabeth has pressed onward, has worked very hard to get what little information she has on her mother, but in the process has been happily reunited with her siblings

Benjamin Kyle

The Benjamin Kyle story is a different twist on missing persons cases. You see, we know where he is, but, it isn't really him. If that sounds odd to you, please let it be known that missing persons cases are never cut and dried or even as similar as we think.

Benjamin Kyle is the name a man, believed to be in his mid 50's, has taken for himself for the last 4 years. This man was found naked and beaten, most likely left for dead, beside a dumpster in Richmond Hill, Georgia, just south of Savannah. When he was found, he had no identification and no memory of who he is and where he came from.

He started using the name "Benjamin Kyle" but was listed as a living "John Doe" and has been listed with The Doe Network so that workers there can help him figure out who he is, or who he was.

Through the tireless efforts of Todd Matthews, Project EDAN was able to do age "regressed" pictures so that someone might recognize him from his former life. Todd is leading the development of NamUs, an organization to identify the many "Does", and will include living "Does" into that system.

In the meantime, Benjamin Kyle is said to be a well spoken, above average intelligence man who carries himself with a professional demeanor.

Maybe someone will recognize him today and help him find himself.
