In lieu the Cleveland Ohio missing persons cases that,by the courage of Amanda Berry,Chicago's ABC WLS TV listed missing persons in Illinois.The first to be shown was my sister April.She was finally acknowledged by the news.I watched as Amanda's grandmother got the call that my parents had waited for that never came.I'm still waiting for it.I am really happy for those three family's that they are no longer in the world of not knowing where their girls are.Over the years,I have heard statements from officers saying to my mom,"April is missing because she wants to be missing." I thought to myself,would that be an acceptable answer if it was their kid? No. As far as the Frankfort Police Department finding her where a bouts,I don't bet on it.I feel that the precious town of Frankfort doesn't want people to know there was a kid missing from that community.Lord forbid,I make any waves to disrupt that.Instead of listening to people who"claim" they know "information" and write letters to the police department filled with lies about my parents,investigate them,or get off the case and give it to someone who will.Instead,the investigating "Detective" asked" why did it take so long for my mom to claim April as "missing." April had a history of running away,my mom had told the courts and April's probation officer that she had yet again ran away.She assumed Frankfort knew of this,and they already marked her as missing/endangered runaway. In reality,in order to get April on Child Find posters,she had to declare her missing.So my answer to why it took that long for her to declare her missing,is the same reason she never declared her legally dead:Because she could not bring herself to believe she could be.So here I am,still searching.Instead of arguing with an officer who really doesn't seem to hear or care what someone who lived this since age of 6 has to say-he would rather listen to someone that never met my parents,my sister or me,someone who regurgitates a wild story that my dad "got rid of April",and "my mom knew about it." Are you kidding me? Here's an idea: Did the police ever think that maybe that story is a lie to cover up who really knows where April is and what happened to her,or who had something to do with it? Here's another one, people: They have an "open on-going investigation" yet they can't haul any of these people into questioning.Would any of you take that as an answer?The worst part of all this,other than this has been going on since I was 6,is that I gladly gave my DNA to the National database,as did my son,and a male cousin on my dad's side.In fact everything posted of her disappearance is because I put it there.Do you want to know why?Because our half sister and full blooded sister refuse to cooperate.Are you kidding me?No matter what anyone thinks of each other in a family-seriously,why wouldn't you want to find your sister?Why wouldn't you want to aid in finally finding out where she is?Why hasn't the thought of April being a victim of foul play cross the minds of these people?Why doesn't this present a Red Flag to the police? Because they don't care.None of them do.Wouldn't you want to know if there was a serial killer around at that time?I even gave names of neighbors,who are reputable citizens,and one happened to be a former chief of police.The Det. never once asked those people one question.These were real people who knew my parents for 33 yrs.and lived right across the street.Who told me time and time again,"'Keep looking Sharon."He didn't go over there or call once.Instead,it is easier to blame the dead parents who can't defend themselves. I think it is time to get a lawyer,and I think it's time to either turn the case over to someone who wants to help me find her.All I ever asked for Frankfort to do was:"Find my sister." Oh,yeah,and I wrote the mayor asking if we could have a walk for April.He was not encouraging of that,but wanted me to know her missing persons poster is in the police station.In fact the only ones that ever seemed to care were Richard from the National Database and a dentist in Frankfort who was good enough to try and compare my dentals to Aprils because my dental records from the past are missing.As far as I'm concerned,if they can't get these "expert theorists" in an investigation room,I will find someone who can.I will hold responsible anyone who had anything to do with her disappearance and make sure they do some time.You know, I think about it folks,these people who are going to a lot of trouble to convince police that my parents were these terrible people,instead of looking for April,are doing just that.Going to a lot of trouble.But that's not going to be anything compared to the trouble they are going to get from me.It's not only cruel to add fuel to the fire,it's illegal,and they can be sued.Usually when something like this is true, people go to police, file a report,and the accused stand trial after an arrest,am I right?You don't wait for them to die and come out of the woodwork like a termite,and tell a story that has no basis.Yet,isn't that kind of like tampering with evidence?In the process they are slandering character and names.Defamation:Also against the law. On this Mother's day,I get to go to my parents grave and ask them to forgive the stupidity of myself for depending on complete morons,who I could probably sell a bridge to that reaches from NewYork to Ireland. I then get to attend a wake of a woman who was not only my neighbor,and a friend,but someone who told me to "keep up the search,don't give in and keep going."A person who knew my family,knew April,Billy and my parents.May God Bless her soul,because I am going to do just that. Thank you. Sharonrose Zane-Neu
