Missing Person Lauren Barnes Body Found

Body of Missing Pregnant Woman Found Buried in Wildlife Refuge

The body of Lauren Barnes, 20, of Bethany, Okla., was found buried in a heavily wooded area within the Stinchcomb Wildlife Refuge.

“She was buried about 3-feet deep and covered up in debris and leaves and dirt,” Bethany Police Chief Neal Troutman said at a news conference. “So it wasn’t very visible. It would have been hard to find.”

There didn’t appear to be any trauma to the woman’s face or body, and investigators didn’t think a weapon was involved in her death, Troutman said.

FBI Searching For Wife Of Drew Peterson

Ok, is Drew peterson just a really strange guy who had some bad luck or is he guilty of killing one, maybe two wives?

Being a former police officer he should know how the percentages work. In 99% of all murder cases, the most likely suspect is the perpetrator. So you either have to believe that Drew peterson is a 1%er or that he is guilty.

FBI Joins Search for Missing Ill. Wife
By CARLA K. JOHNSON

The FBI’s involvement comes at the request of the Illinois State Police, which is leading the investigation into the disappearance of Stacy Peterson, 23, from the couple’s home.

The case has led prosecutors to re-examine the 2004 death of Drew Peterson’s third wife, Kathleen Savio. Authorities have said her death may have been a homicide staged to look like an accidental drowning.

Savio’s body was exhumed for a new autopsy. The state’s attorney’s office said it could be a couple weeks before investigators have results from tests on her remains.

Missing Person Dena Raley Body Found Suspect Russell Jones Arrested

In 1999, The Kidsearch Network was operating out of Modesto, CA. We searched for missing children, runaway teens, and adults missing under suspicious circumstances.


We recovered more than 70 missing children and countless runaway teens were returned home safe and sound. We helped to solve several homicides during that time as well by locating clues that led to arrests of suspects or the location of the body.


We only had 7 cases that remained unsolved. One of the most devastating cases was the case of a missing girl named Dena Raley. She was reported missing and her car was found almost immediately. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance were suspicious to say the least.

The family contacted us and we searched the immediate area, asked people questions, posted flyers, held rallies and candlelight vigils, and more, but this became one of our 7 unsolved cases.


Now there has been a break in the case finally.

Modesto Man Arrested in 1999 Disappearance of Dena Raley


Russell Jones



A Modesto family Thursday night got the break they’ve been waiting eight years for. An arrest has been made in the disappearance of their daughter Dena Raley, who hasn’t been seen since October 1999.


Thursday night police arrested an acquaintance of Raley’s, 47-year-old Russell Jones.


Detectives had continued their investigation over the years, and police said that in the past few weeks, investigators in the Modesto Police Cold Case Unit developed information which led them to believe Raley was murdered and that Jones was the suspect.



At the time of the investigation, Russell Jones’ name came up and he was questioned by police and we also spoke with him a couple of times. There was another suspect in the case that the family and we both thought was the main suspect.


That suspect has not been arrested in conjunction with this case. The spokeperson for the family, Dena Raley’s mother, said in response to the arrest that she would not be surprised if there is another arrest coming. I agree that the possibility of the other suspect being arrested is still very real.
