AL AL - Heaven Ross, 11, Northport, 19 Aug 2003

[dannyodie]

this little girl disappeared about 4 months after tabitha tuders went missing in april. team tabitha, " the search group which was formed after she went missing " travelled to northport for a weekend to help in locating the child. tabithas parents I remember went with the group to console " shaes " mother and family in her disappearence. at one point the investigators from nashville travelled to the northport alabama police station to see if there were some connection with the two cases. I believe they concluded that there were no link to the disappearence of " tabitha and shae." when I look at the two cases in my mind I feel that shae and tabitha both got into vehicles with someone that they at least could identify and feel comfortable with getting into a car with someone. I feel that the tuders girl was offered a ride with someone from the immediate area. 2 weeks or so after she went missing an individual that worked at a nearby business, and lived in the nearby vicinity, moved to new york. I don't know if for sure the police have talked to him in person or not, at one point I think they did talk to him over the phone. hopefully they are still persuing him. Shae, if I recall, lived in a trailer park I am not sure of how many people lived in it, but I believe she got in a car with someone that possibly lived in the same park, that offerered her a ride to school. I sure hope that the families of these girls don't give up there hope of finding out what has happened to there child. may god bless each of them

Heaven Ross, Missing Over 1 Year Now
Heaven LaShae Ross is now 12 years old and has been missing from Northport, AL for over a year.

Heaven's mother Beth, provided us with some never before seen photos of this precious child, plus some reflections about her daughter, We took what she sent and built her a website, as she had no true website and not the means to build one for her.

I just finished talking with her and this is the message she wanted me to relay to you:

"We ask for constant prayers for Shae. We feel that that's what going to bring her home. That's what we want and that's all we ask for. Thank you all."

Beth will make a trip to the library today to see the site for the first time, so please do go and sign the guestbook to show you care.

You can also print posters, mailing labels and business cards on the site.

Keep coming back to the site as Beth will be sending baby photos and more writings.


Thank you.

I live in Alabama, about 2 hours from Northport, and if it were not for this site, I would never have known about Heaven Shae Ross' disappearance. I have e-mailed Kelly to tell her I would like to adopt Shae...my daughter and I will put her buttons on our purse/backpack. I pray she is found soon.

 

[Kelly]

Thank you, EL. We just started with Heaven on the Adopt program and her buttons are flying out the door. Her mother wil be thrilled. Be sure to stop at her website and sign her guestbook.

God bless,
Kelly

It is very troublesome to see this site, and notice her name is mispelled. I am disappointed that the DA feels there is not enough evidence to charge the person(s) that police think are responsible. This case has been in the news for some time, and I hope the guilty party(s) will soon be brought to justice. Recently, while visiting the area, I only saw ONE poster of this young child, a tattered flier, almost unnoticeable at a convenience store.

Is there anything new on Shae?

If you are talking about websleuths, yes it is mispelled. Please change this mods!
As for her website http://www.findheaven.net/ her name there is spelled correctly, and the site is very nice.

Heaven Ross' mother called me tonight and told me that Heaven will be featured on AMW on Saturday, January 8, 2005. Most likely, this will be a brief airing of her photo and information.

There are no other updates to report in Heaven's case.

Any news? I thought I saw an age-enhanced photo on a website for Heaven, but now I can't find the link. The picture was supposedly aged to 12 years for her, but it actually looked older than 12.

I wonder where the family is living now? And the boyfriend where is he and the older sister and brother?

While we were down there searching they found blood in his car and the mother said that it was her from when her and the boyfriend got into an altercation.

Did they test the blood to see if it fit with her story?

 

[CaliKid]

Did they check out the boyfriend?

[jaybird]

Has anyone heard any recent news on the Heaven Ross case? This one tugs on my heart and I think about her all the time.

Also, any news on Rosa Sandoval? I know the positively ID'd her remains, any other info?

 

[joys4world]

The last I heard about Heaven was that they had a medium come out to where she lived and did a reading. I don't know if it was ever made public what that reading was. I know her birthday is coming up on June 11 maybe there will be more about her then.

Two-year search for missing Northport girl frustrating

August 19, 2005
The Associated Press

On the second anniversary of his daughter's disappearance, Kevin Thompson remains heartsick and just as frustrated over the lack of clues as police, who continue searching for the child.

Heaven LaShae Ross, who would now be 13, went missing on Aug. 19, 2003, as she walked to a school bus stop in Northport.

"To think that it's been two years," said Thompson, 35, "it's just hard to swallow."

The girl, called "Shae" by family and friends, vanished on a rainy Tuesday morning as she walked the 50 yards from her front door to the bus stop at the edge of Willowbrook Trailer Park.

"I'm always thinking about it in the back of my mind," said police investigator Terry Carroll of the Tuscaloosa Metro Juvenile Division. "There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about or do something on the case."

Carroll said Thursday police still get leads about the case.

Last month, someone reported seeing Shae at a school in Crossville in north Alabama, and another said she'd been seen with a relative in the Gulf Shores area. Neither tip proved solid.

"It's frustrating not to be able to resolve this for the family or for anyone," Carroll told The Tuscaloosa News for a story Friday.

Thompson said someone "definitely knows what happened to her, and to know someone would take a child and do something to her . . .. She wasn't a bother to nobody. She was just a little girl going to school that day."

Thompson replays the dreadful day over and over in his mind.

He said he offered to drive Shae to school the day she went missing because her book bag looked heavy. She declined the offer. She had only been out the door a few minutes when a loud thunderclap made Thompson go out the door after her.

"She doesn't like thunderstorms," he said. "They scare her....

"But when I came out the door, I didn't see her at all. It's like she just vanished."

Thompson said life hasn't been the same for him and Shae's mother, Beth Lowery, since Shae disappeared. No one visits much anymore, and Thompson said he stays at home when he's not working.

Thompson sits in his living room that's still adorned with memorabilia of Shae's disappearance.

"As far as I'm concerned, my baby's still alive, and I know for a fact that she wants to come home," he said. "I will never, as long as I'm living, I will never give up on Shae."
