UPDATE: 7/14/09

“Our girls were found in Payson, AZ on June 17, 2009.  They are now safe at home with us.  They have been living in shelters for the past two years.  They were going by assumed names.  Thank you again for posting their pictures on your website.  Without websites such as yours and projectjason.org, our daughters would never have been located.

I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but there’s a movement of citizens inspired by the presidential campaign who are now submitting ideas for how they think the Obama Administration should change America.  It’s called “Ideas for Change in America.“

One idea is titled: Establish National Protocol in Missing and Unidentified Person Cases.  This idea was submitted by Kelly Jolkowski, President and Founder of Project Jason.Org, who I do what I can for whenever I can through my blog.  <I wish that I could do more…>

The top 10 ideas are going to be presented to the Obama Administration on Inauguration Day and will be supported by a national lobbying campaign run by Change.org, MySpace, and more than a dozen leading nonprofits after the Inauguration.  So each idea has a real chance at becoming policy!!

Project Jason asks you to take just a few minutes of your time to help the families of the missing and unidentified.  Please follow the links provided and vote to help get and idea, which would positively impact how missing and unidentified deceased person cases are handled, onto the top 10 ideas!

Kelly Jolkowski states on her site: [parapharased]

“Working together, we can make a difference for these families through an effort called Ideas for Change in America. This is a is a citizen-driven project that aims to identify and create momentum around the best ideas for how the 111th Congress can turn the broad call for “change” across the country into specific policies.”
…
“Collectively, we are the voice for the missing, speaking for those who are not among us but who are forever in our hearts. Please vote, and forward this notification via email to everyone in your address book.”

That’s not hard to do, is it?  I registered on Change.Org in about 2 seconds and was able to cast my vote and you can, too!  All they ask for is an email confirmation and that took about 2 seconds! <literally>
I know you can do it!  You stumbled into here, didn’t you?
There are many forms of charity and many don’t cost a thing!

I thank you all in advance,
Donna

“Carla Vicentini was last seen at approximately 2:00 a.m. on February 9, 2006 at the Adega Bar and Grill in the vicinity of the 100 block of Ferry Street in the Ironbound neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey. She had gone there to visit a friend who worked at the restaurant.

Vicentini left the establishment with a man who is described as in his thirties and heavyset with blue eyes, salt-and-pepper hair and an unshaven beard. He was wearing a black t-shirt. Her companion has not been identified, but his first name may have been Antonio.  The man she was last seen with is considered a person of interest in her disappearance.”

Christine Sheddy

DOB: 12/22/80
Missing Since: 11/13/07
Missing City:Pocomoke, MD
Age at time of disappearance: 26
Height: 5 ft 4 in
Weight: 100 lbs
Eye Color: Blue
Complexion: Fair
Hair: Blonde
 
Characteristics: tattoo on lower back  
Clothing: jeans, white shirt  
Jewelry: rings 
Circumstances: Christine was staying at a friend’s home and when the friends left to pick up children and then returned, Christine was missing. Christine’s children were found at the house alone. Christine took no possessions with her.

Here’s a few quips from Project Jason.Org about Christine Sheddy:

She was last seen at 2911 Byrd Road in Pocomoke City.

She is 27 years old, approximately 5-foot, 3-inch tall and weighs 100 pounds.  At the time of her disappearance, she had blond shoulder length hair.

Sheddy and her two sons, ages 2 and 4, were staying with her mother Lyn Dodenhoff at her Bowers Beach home before traveling to Pocomoke City. Sheddy told her mother she was visiting a couple she met through her boyfriend, who is also the father of her children, according to Dodenhoff.

“Christine was supposed to come back here and pack her stuff to visit her sister in Philadelphia on Nov. 17,” Dodenhoff said. “Nobody has heard from her and she’s never left her children home alone.”

Christine has three children; two of them, (the young boys who were with her in Maryland) are now staying with their father Levi Hall, and his mother Joyce Hall in Milford, Delaware.

The family is offering $5,000 Reward.

And from a recent entry, dated June 2008:

Cops say Christine was living with her mother in Bowers Beach, Del. when she decided to move to Pocomoke City, Md. in November 2007.

Investigators learned that Christine packed up her children and moved to Maryland to live with a couple she met through her boyfriend. Her mother says Christine wanted to get away from everything and start a new life. But after living in Pocomoke for a short time, Christine became disillusioned and expressed a desire to leave.

Cops say on the day Christine disappeared, she stayed at home with her two children while the couple she was staying with left the house to pick up their own children from school.  But cops say when the couple returned home, Christine’s children were there but she was nowhere to be found.

Was Christine lured from her home, or did she leave on her own? Police just don’t know.

Cops have talked to Christine’s friends, interviewed the couple with whom Christine was staying, and reached out to the public for information on anyone who might have encountered the young mother.  To date, no one has seen or heard from Christine, and with each passing day, investigators grow more concerned.

That’s all anyone really wants to know…
Where is Christine Sheddy?

Age Now:  14
Hair:  Lt. Brown
Eyes:  Hazel
Height:  5′0″ (152 cm)
Weight:  85 lbs (39 kg)
Missing From: Santa Clarita, CA

According to “The Charley Project“:

Lynn and her brother, Mac, were last seen at their home in Santa Clarita, California on October 26, 2006. They have never been heard from again.

At the time of their disappearances, the children’s father in Illinois had sole custody of them, but they were living with their mother, Crystel Lynn Stelioff, who had abducted them in 2004. She had been charged with two felony counts of child abduction; the criminal case was still pending by the time Mac and Lynn disappeared in 2006. The children were court-ordered to return to Illinois. They disappeared the day before they were scheduled to appear in court. Crystel reported they ran away during the night.

Crystel has refused to answer questions about her children’s whereabouts, as have the children’s maternal grandparents and uncles. Their father believes they may be being concealed by their mother and her family. In May 2007, Crystel was due to appear in court to answer to the child abduction charges, but did not appear, and a warrant was issued for her arrest. Her trial has been postponed until September 2008. Lynn and Mac’s whereabouts are unknown and their cases remain unsolved.
