WA WA - Adre'anna Jackson, 10, Lakewood, 2 Dec 2005

[Socks]

Thought it odd that the dad commented that he thought it was homeless people that did this...and now look where the focus is. Hmmm.

It really tears at me that not only did she probably suffer greatly before her death, but that she was left out in the elements like a piece of trash to be fed upon by animals and insects.

If it does come to be that this man, John, is involved...I hope he rots.

 

[Bobbisangel]

I hope that LE is getting close to arresting the person who did this. The mother is carrying on now but what will she say if the killer ends up being someone that her and her husband brought into their home. I was thinking about how vocal she is now but didn't do much of anything when that little cutie was missing. I would imagine that the mom and dad and the person who did this are birds of a feather.

I don't know if the dad was involved but when people start changing their story it really makes me question. He either walked her halfway to school or he watched her as she walked. Doesn't sound to hard to remember which he did.

KOMO 4 website has a story,"Cause Of Adre'Anna Jackson's Death Remains Unknown". Really no new information. LE had suggested a few days ago the ME might have a cause of death. It appears now, more tests are needed.

KING 5 TV story 4:45 pm May 12,"Police seize new evidence in girl's mysterious murder".

Detectives are investigating a 49-year-old convicted rapist who visited a trailer nearby, KING 5 sources say.

The trailer is owned by Bob Brown, who calls the man his friend. On the night in question, a 34-year-old woman was staying at the trailer with Brown. She told investigators that she saw Brown's friend walk in the door covered in blood. She said he washed his clothes and took a shower, KING 5 sources say.

Unfortunately you have to register to read the story at the above link. I must say I am intrigued and hope this pans out. This sweet child deserves to have this horrific case solved. I can't come up with another reason for someone being covered in blood other than injuring someone or an animal. If it wasn't AdreAnna, what happened?

 

[dulcinea]

The story also says he walked in to the house at night...AdreAnna supposedly walked to school in the morning to find it closed. Would she really not go home and instead wandered around all day until some creep got her? Would this man have seen her walking alone on her way back home and taken advantage of the situation? From what I've heard about abduction murders, the victim is deceased within 2-3 hours in most cases. If this is the case, did the man walk around covered in blood all day (since it was at night that he was seen) or did she stay away from home all day on her own? Weren't their two children who claim to have spoken to her at a playground? What happened to their statements?

Maybe he kept her alive until that evening...waited until dark so that he could dump her body without being seen. That is to horrible to think about isn't it?

The girls said that they saw her by the Middle School I believe. They must have gotten up close because they said that she looked sad. She could have been hanging out by the Middle School and he ran across her somewhere after that. He probably talked her into going with him somewhere. I wonder if he has a vehicle....a place to live?

I hope LE checks out this guy's home and vehicle if he has them and that they find the bloody clothes. Did that woman just tell LE this? I wonder why she waited until now. She had to have known Adre'Anna was missing and then that her body had been found....if she is from that area.

One report said:
http://www.komotv.com/news/story.asp?ID=40579
Sunday night police were following a new lead. Two 10-year-old girls claimed they may have seen Jackson as recently as Friday night -- several hours after she was reported missing.

One of the girls knows Jackson from school. The witness told police she saw Jackson at a park on the other side of the freeway. She says she spoke with her classmate, and Jackson said she was sad and did not want to go back home.

I'm thinking she hung around the middle school all day; and maybe a perp spotted her.

 

[Reader]

Bumping for Adreanna. Has anyone heard anything further on the last suspect mentioned above, with the bloody clothes?

Was a cause of death ever announced?

Little Adreanna is still waiting for justice!

The death certificate for the Tillicum girl whose body was found April 4, four months after she disappeared, will read: "Skeletal remains: Insufficient information to determine cause of death." The manner of her death, whether accidental, natural or homicide, also was undetermined.

Thanks for that information and article! Here is a link to the article. I was wondering if the case could still be prosecuted, and it looks like it could, with other evidence. It is good to know the LE and FBI continues to work on the case:

http://www.komonews.com/news/story.asp?ID=43636

"It is significant, but it doesn't change what were doing," said Lakewood police detective Mike Zaro. "With so few remains left, we knew that it would be a long shot for him to provide us with anything."

The ruling also makes it more difficult to prosecute the case if an arrest is made.

"It's going to be a hindrance," said chief criminal deputy prosecutor Jerry Costello. "It would all depend on whether you have enough circumstantial evidence to convince a jury that a homicide happened."
--------------------------
State and federal forensics experts continue to analyze hundreds of items taken from the girl's home near Portland Avenue and Wadsworth Street Southwest and the vacant lot where she was found.

Dozens of technicians spent 10 days on their hands and knees, collecting evidence from the lot, including cigarette butts, empty soda cans and other trash.

The Washington State Patrol Crime Laboratory is analyzing some of that evidence, but most of it has been turned over to FBI forensics technicians, said Kevin Jones, manager of the Tacoma lab.
----------------------------
Lakewood police continue to investigate the death of the Tillicum fourth grader and officials said lead continue to come in.

No arrests have been made, and no suspects have been identified.

Prosecutor Costello said that to file charges of murder or manslaughter, prosecutors would need proof that a homicide occurred. Circumstantial evidence and witness testimony would be key.
--------------------------------
Authorities are offering up to $60,000 for information leading to arrests, criminal charges and convictions in the girl's death.

 

[Bobbisangel]

I hope this isn't going to be one of those cases where the killer is never found. LE know that this was not a accident and it sure as heck wasn't a natural death. Someone stole this little beautys life and that person needs to pay the price. Someone knows something darn it.

It's been one year since Adre'anna disappeared
This weekend marks the grim one-year anniversary of Adre'anna Jackson's disappearance. The 10-year-old Lakewood girl disappeared on her way to school and her body was found five-months later, but her case has yet to be solved.

The roadside memorial where she was found is covered in dust, and the stuffed animals and mementos are all pretty worn. But Adre'anna's memory is still fresh on many people's minds.

"We certainly have been thinking about it, especially with the snow that came the other day. It kind of reminded us of that terrible night. We miss Adre'anna and the community misses her," said Scott Fennell, Adre'anna's old pastor.

Fennell and his Tillicum Baptist Church became the search base one year ago as folks fanned out in the snow looking for Adre'anna. She disappeared after heading to school, not knowing school was cancelled due to weather.

Search crews and volunteer scoured neighborhoods, while divers combed nearby American Lake and investigators chased after tips on suspicious persons of interest.

"We were told search every dumpster, every bush, every car. We did that until three in the morning. The officer that sent us out said 'I hope you don't find anything," said searcher David Anderson.

But no one found any sign of Adre'anna until last April, when two boys found her body in the bushes across the freeway overpass from her home. The autopsy failed to show how she died.

Lakewood police say they continue to vigorously investigate the case and are still checking out leads.

But there still haven't been any arrests made in the case, and that has some area parents on edge.

"We haven't had any arrests, no arrests in our community. I don't feel any safer than I did a year ago," said one parent, Brian Cook. "I still don't let my kids go to school unattended until I see them walk in the door everyday."

The kids and staff at Adre'anna's school are dealing with the anniversary of her disappearance privately with everyone still wondering 'what happened?'

Her parents still live but have moved the home where she disappeared. They say the memories there are just too painful.

A fun run in Adre'anna's memory will take place on February 10th at Fort Steilacoom Park.

Yvette Gervais cried the night Zina Linnik's body was found.

Like many others, she had been closely following the search for the 12-year-old Tacoma girl who disappeared from outside her home July 4.

Unlike most, she knew exactly what the girl's family was going through.

Gervais' 10-year-old daughter, Adre'Anna Jackson, was found dead last year in a suburb of Tacoma, four months after she was reported missing.

"It's been really tough on us," said Gervais, of Tillicum, Pierce County. "It brought up the horrific-ness of the crime we went through."

Adre'Anna was reported missing from the family's neighborhood in December 2005 after she disappeared somewhere between home and her elementary school a few blocks away.

Her skeletal remains were found in a vacant lot near Woodbrook Middle School a few miles from home, but a cause of death could not be determined and no suspect was arrested.

Adre'Anna's disappearance and death, as well as those of several other missing children, is now being re-investigated by detectives who are pursuing the Linnik case.

Gervais said in a telephone interview Friday that a part of her hopes the suspect in the Linnik case, Terapon Dang Adhahn, can be linked to her daughter's death.

"If he did it, it would be nice to get some closure," she said. "But all we can do is wait and not get our hopes up too high because, you know, you have more than one offender in this country."

Foxnews mentioned Zina's killer is being investigated in this case.

 

[Rle7]

Foxnews mentioned Zina's killer is being investigated in this case.

He's now a person of interest in Adre'Anna Jackson's death:

There hasn't been a week when David Anderson hasn't thought of Adre'Anna Jackson, the 10-year-old girl he used to drive to Sunday school in their Tillicum neighborhood.

Same goes for Lakewood police detectives, who never identified the person who left her body in a Pierce County field, where it was found last year and identified through dental records. She disappeared in December 2005.

Monday afternoon, police flagged down Anderson's car on the block where Adre'Anna had lived, handed him a picture of the man now suspected of abducting 12-year-old Zina Linnik on July 4 and killing her and asked if Anderson recognized the 42-year-old suspect.

Anderson didn't, but police said several other Tillicum residents had seen Terapon Adhahn driving a tow truck and working as a handyman when Adre'Anna disappeared nearly two years ago.

"He looks like anybody's handyman that you would trust," Anderson said.

Police say Adhahn, who has been identified as the only suspect in Zina's kidnapping and death, is a person of interest in Adre'Anna's death, too.

Tacoma police said Tuesday that a search warrant was obtained to collect a DNA sample from Adhahn, which could be used in the Jackson investigation.

He also is being investigated in the 2000 kidnapping and rape of an 11-year-old Tacoma girl and in at least four other unsolved Pierce County crimes.
