CO CO - Kayleah Wilson, 12, Greeley, 28 March 2010 - #4

[nerosleuth]

I got some flyer's posted in Casper WY and posted some in Thermopolis at the Hot Springs they get a lot of tourists there.

That's a great idea to post flyers in the northern part of Wyoming.

Look at a map, I see that Greeley isn't too far from the Wyoming and Nebraska border. I was wondering if flyers were posted in the Cheyenne area in southeastern Wyoming and the Scottsbluff area in southwestern Nebraska.

Also, have the news media from Cheyenne and Scottsbluff covered the story about Kayleah's disappearance?

I don't buy the notion that this child ran away. I believe that either she was abducted by someone or she was involved in an accident that someone covered up.

Sadly, there has been no family member or spokesperson that has gotten the attention of the media for more than 15 seconds total. This story started out slowly (unbelieveable - a 12 year old girl missing 48+ hours with NO media attention!) and fizzled after about 3 days of FBI activity.

On a somewhat related note, the most "in the spotlight" (media/internet, etc) person for this case has never even met Kayleah, and her motives are IMOO suspicious at best. Frustrating...

I just do not understand why there is nobody sreaming and pleading for this 12 yr. old child to be found, no searches this weekend, no searches next weekend a bike ride to support Kayleah and family this weekend if weather permits which it is suppose to be rainy so will be postponed until the 22nd. I have cried so many tears for this one I have searched many places and will continue to do so but something just is not sitting right with me and it is so very frustrating.

Are the parents getting any guidance on how to keep Kayleahs name out there?

 

[revampz]

I agree!!! I have been heavily involved lately in the Tiffany Tehan forum and so many people made comments and the amount of publicity that has been made over a woman leaving her husband with her boyfriend is madness to me and yet here we have a 12 year old girl who has been missing for nearly a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even if she has run away she may be on the streets somewhere (tho you'd think she would have been noticed)

this is scary stuff to me.

Stories of a missing Greeley girl being found — or her body being found — continue to circulate throughout Greeley and stream into the Greeley Police Department and to the missing girl's family.

The stories aren't true, and they're difficult for the family.

“It hurts when people do this,” said April Wilson, mother of Kayleah Wilson, 12, the Greeley girl who disappeared March 28. “It hurts because they aren't true, and because if people hear those stories, they'll stop looking for her.”

April Wilson said her 17-year-old son — Kayleah's brother, Mackenzie Wilson — hears the stories at school, the family gets calls at home saying she's been found, and her friends have also been receiving calls and text messages relaying the false stories.

“We just wish people would stop,” April Wilson said.

Greeley police spokesman Sgt. Joe Tymkowych called the rumors “counterproductive. They hurt the case and her family.”

The number of officials working the case has dropped significantly since the girl was first reported missing. There are now two Greeley detectives, two FBI agents and two agents from the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit working full-time on the case. They still have a control room set up where they take tips and keep material and information on the case.

Kayleah Wilson disappeared March 28 after she left home to walk to meet a friend for a birthday party. She apparently crossed the U.S. 34 Bypass on foot and walked through the Greeley Mall parking lot that afternoon; police have surveillance photos showing her alone in the mall parking lot.

The case has brought widespread publicity and more than 50 FBI agents came to Greeley to investigate the case for two weeks.

Police also released information about a 44-year-old man who was termed a “person of interest” in the case. The man, who once lived in two apartment complexes south of the Greeley Mall, was contacted and cleared.

The Behavioral Science Unit team from the FBI recently issued a list of behaviors that could fit a suspect, if indeed the girl has been abducted. Those behaviors include changing cars, growing or shaving off a beard, or becoming abnormally interested in the case.

The reward for information that leads to the closure of the case was raised to $20,000 because the investigators haven't been getting as many leads in recent days, said special agent-in-charge Jim Davis.

Checking in this morning. Prayers are with you Kayleah.

Arrrggg!! As a daughter of LE, I have deep respect for LE but this is becoming outrageous! I can almost understand Greeley PD because other than Jonelle back in the 80s they haven't had to deal w/something on this scale but the FBI?? They want the publics help but have not kept Kayleahs face and events surrounding her dissaperance out there? It makes no sense. If the family cannot or will not keep Kayleah in the media...LE should. moo.

 

[nursebeeme]

I am wondering why LE never released the surv. pictures of Kayleah! At the least they would better show what she was wearing/what she looked like that day :-(

 

[KaylynnCouture]

It makes me feel better knowing that the police and FBI still have agents and officers that are working full time on Kayleahs case. I have hope she will be found..I just pray that it's soon, and that she's alive.

Have been wondering too. Maybe it's because she is wearing something distinctive that they have not released in her description...evidence that they will use if they come up with a suspect? Not sure how clear the video is also, if she was walking through the parking lot, it may be grainy, but it may trigger someones memory.

Thats so true. I have no idea why they won't release the video..:banghead: It would give the public more insight as to what she looks like.

I have such a strong feeling she was abducted. IDK but she could have been approached by a guy pretending to be a cop like that guy in Oregon where he kidnapped those girls ...luckily they were let go.

I wanted to see the surveillance images, too, but can at least think of reasons they might decide to keep them in the file. I want Kayleah found, and alive. There are crazy, sick people out there. I want them found, too, at this point.

I'm hoping they're using all they know to deliver a conviction as well answers now. They've invested so many hours in the case, and I'm pretty sure they're not wanting to write them all off and let the case go cold.

It's a relief to me, to know the command center is still in place, and it's telling that the behavioral expert is on the case.

 

[Roni]

Was glad to see the article in the Tribune today. Hoping for some new leads this week, my husband and I are going to go check out a few more remote areas weds. before we get more rain. I know they had a pizza place in Cheyenne putting flyer's out earlier on but not sure if the area towards Nebraska was covered. Prayer's for Kaleah's safe return and for her family.

What are you looking for at the link?

This was in todays news...not sure how to post the actual link from the news website with the story line.

Aurora is about an 1 1/2 hour drive from Greeley. Don't know if it's related to Kayleahs case but if this turns out to be real...it shows how easily and quick this can happen. Kudos to the person who spoke up!

The video has good footage of him and his truck. I feel sorry for him if he were just trying to help, it does not look like he is walking in a hurry , like they say in news story.

"When one witness flagged down a security officer, the man let go of the girl's hand and took off"

WOW!!!
I am just awesomely impressed when people see something unusual and reach out to protect others!! I LOVE these kind of details being included in a story-- just like the security person who cracked open the Jaycee case... These people are every-day heroes to me... the kind of folks I want in my community.

I keep hoping that a story like this will help someone who knows something come forward in Kayleah's case too! :heart:

ETA: Ruby, you have a good point too... if this man was helping the little girl and not trying to kidnap her. I like to think that everyone involved was looking out for her best interest-- which would be neat! But, I'm glad the other bystander said something, just in case.
