Thanks for posting the link to this article. I think it is quite relevant.

Crackdown exposes Toledo as a hub of teen prostitution

http://toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060108/NEWS08/601080333/-1/NEWS

"I know the FBI is concentrating on Toledo, and I know Toledo is one of the top cities in the country for teen prostitution," said Celia Williamson, a University of Toledo professor known nationally for research of prostitutes.

Deb Hodges, a top Lucas County Juvenile Court official, agreed: "We had one of the federal investigators tell us that Toledo was the No. 1 recruiting spot in the United States. ... It was mind-boggling."

Until recently, it was also largely undetected.

snip*A reward of $20,000 is being offered for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible for their disappearances.


If you have any information about either of the missing teens, call Crime Stoppers at (216) 252-7463.

CLEVELAND — It’s been nine long years of pain, wonder and worry for those closest to Amanda Berry. Almost a decade. Yet for Amanda’s only sister, Beth Serrano, time has stood still.

 

[amber1]

I always think of Gina Dejesus and Amanda. I can't believe Amanda has been gone for 9 years and would be 26 today. I pray she will be found. I pray her loved ones get peace.
Does anyone think that Amanda and Gina's cases are connected, possibly also to human trafficking?

Local tv has live coverage this morning of the FBI digging at a vacant lot on the west side of Cleveland, searching for the remains of Amanda Berry. The dig is located near W. 30th & Wade.

An inmate in Cuyahoga County jail has given officials information about where the missing girls remains are located. They're not sure how reliable the information is, but are checking anyway.

 

[amber1]

She needs to be brought home no matter what! I am hoping we find her, but I also had hopes she'd come home alive. Bittersweet either way.

 

[Stoshie]

This says that the inmate and Amanda were friends. He claims to have been a first hand participant in her disappearance.

[Buckeye lady]

Sadly, for the family, they didn't find anything. They dug up the whole lot and ended their search this afternoon. No remains were found.

 

[Betty P]

Looks like he's headed back to Lucasville. I wonder if he really does know where she is? Sending the FBI on a dead end search won't help his chances of getting out of prison early. Dumb.

 

[amber1]

I wonder if there was any credibility at all. Did he ever take a polygraph test? I really stili think Amanda was taken by someone she knew on the walk home from burger king!

Thank you for posting this theory-def. something to look into, for many missing persons cases-he was everywhere, and who knows just how honest he was about his whereabouts?
Here is a timeline of his whereabouts:
http://www.fbi.gov/anchorage/press-...he-publics-assistance-concerning-israel-keyes
It stated in the article he has killed a couple in 2001, so we know he was killing at the time Amanda went missing-but where was he in APril 2003??
