Search Planned for Missing Teen
Updated 1:27 PM PDT, Fri, Mar 19, 2010
<snipped>
The cases of Chelsea King and Amber Dubois are calling attention to other cases of missing people -- including a 16-year-old boy from the North County.

Mickey Guidry from San Marcos disappeared during a Thanksgiving camping trip last year in the Anza Borrego Desert near Ocotillo Wells.

Family friend Chris Crawford says Mickey was put on restriction by his parents, but took a family car to where his friends were camping. He didn&#8217;t have driver&#8217;s license. His friends gave him some gas money and told him to go home. Instead, he went driving alone in the desert and his car got stuck. "I don't know if he walked out and somebody picked him up or if he didn't make it out or what," Crawford said.

He says Mickey thinks he&#8217;s invincible and probably got in over his head. "He's a good kid he's just a 16-year-old knucklehead,&#8221; family friend Chris Crawford said.

It's been nearly four months and there is still no sign of the North County teenager. A search is planned Saturday in the area Mickey was last seen.

The family of Escondido teenager Amber Dubois has spoken publicly about the case -- urging people to help find Mickey.

Mickey's family has set-up a Facebook page to help in the search.
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&gid=351259317751#!/group.php?gid=351259317751

Pictures of the car on the Facebook page show the driver's side bumper and side view mirror had been torn off, the right front wheel appears to be worn down to the rim.

According to the search website, the plan for Saturday is to split volunteers into several large groups one will include off-road vehicles while others will search on foot.

Chelsea King: reasons to run for slain teen
Published: March 19, 2010
Updated: 1:56 p.m.
<snipped>
A father of two girls wants to run in the memory of a slain teenager this weekend in San Diego because he understands the family's pain. A woman wants to run to bring awareness.

And, yet another woman wants to run even though she didn't know Chelsea King.

We asked if you were among those who have signed up to run through a San Diego park Saturday in a tribute planned for King. Below is how some of you responded.

The Associated Press is reporting that hundreds of people plan to run through the park where King, 17, was attacked in a tribute that's being called "Finish Chelsea's Run." More than 250 people have said they'll attend Saturday's three-mile run at Rancho Bernardo Community Park, the AP said.

Here are some of your comments on why you plan to run this weekend:
***
"My name is Ashleigh Davis; I'm 25 years old; I was raised in North County and currently live in Escondido. I ran track for EC high school and San Marcos University. Living very close to both area where Amber and Chelsea were attacked I feel this run will not only bring local awareness to residents but also national awareness regarding the seriousness sexual predators and help create harsher laws."

Effort Begins To Rename Park After Chelsea King
POSTED: 1:33 pm PDT March 19, 2010
UPDATED: 1:39 pm PDT March 19, 2010
<snipped>
A movement has begun online to change the name of Rancho Bernardo Community Park to Chelsea King Memorial Park.

There is currently a Facebook page where people are giving their input about renaming the park for Chelsea. Some are opposed, but most seem to think it would be an appropriate remembrance.

Mira wrote, "It's the least the community can do for such a special girl." "This way she will always be remembered even after we are all gone," wrote Carrie.

In Sabre Springs, there is a park of remembrance. It honors victims of violent crime, including Cara Knott, who was murdered near the area in 1986 by California Highway Patrolman Craig Peyer. It is located on Cara Way, right below the Knott Memorial Bridge.

"Is it hard to come here?" asked 10News' Hal Clement. "It is. You know, once I'm here, I do get some peace from it," said Joyce Knott, Cara's mother. She said she is glad it's here for her daughter.

As for renaming the park, city officials told 10News nothing will happen without input from the family. Any renaming would be a decision by the Park and Recreation Department Board.

APNewsBreak: Parole agents boost monitoring of paroled sex offenders after high-profile lapses
March 19, 2010 4:02 p.m.
<snipped>
California parole officials said Friday they have ordered increased monitoring of all sex offenders after recent high-profile lapses, most notably in the case of a young woman who was held captive for 18 years by a convicted rapist.

The new policy requires parole agents to more closely track the movements of offenders using GPS-linked ankle bracelets. It also requires agents to visit high-risk sex offenders at their homes twice a month, up from just one monthly visit.

The policy change memo independently obtained by The Associated Press came after agents were criticized for not discovering a convicted sex offender was allegedly keeping Jaycee Dugard hidden at his Contra Costa County home for 18 years.

Corrections officials are also reviewing whether they should have revoked the parole of John Albert Gardner III, a convicted sex offender now charged with murdering one San Diego County teen and being investigated in the death of another.

The new policy requires increased use of GPS tracking of those considered less likely to re-offend. Forty lower-risk offenders are supervised by each parole agent, compared to 20 high-risk offenders per agent.

Melinda Silva, president of the Parole Agents Association of California, predicted the increased workload will overwhelm agents charged with tracking the movements of 40 sex offenders. "We need to get them to 20-to-one," she said. "If they want to improve supervision, they've got to reduce caseload."

Hundreds Show Up For Chelsea's Run
Event Held Saturday At 9AM At Rancho Bernardo Community Park
POSTED: 4:36 pm PDT March 19, 2010
UPDATED: 10:07 am PDT March 20, 2010

Hundreds of people, many dressed in blue or orange, headed out on a run/walk along the shores of Lake Hodges Saturday to symbolically complete the final act that slain Poway High School senior Chelsea King set out to do -- take a jog in the scenic park.

"Finish Chelsea's Run" was intended as a show of devotion to the memory of the 17-year-old straight-A student, and as a way for the community to "take back" the open-space area where she was allegedly raped and killed, organizers said.

Participants began gathering at 7 a.m. near the lake at Rancho Bernardo Community Park, where a band played on a stage flanked by giant posters of King.

Many people caught shuttles from a nearby mall to the site of the 3-mile run/walk, which began at 9 a.m. Pets on leashes and children were welcome, according to organizers.

State issues new parole guidelines
Officers will visit sex offenders twice a month, instead of once
Friday, March 19, 2010 at 5:28 p.m
<snipped>
The state issued new directives Friday to immediately tighten its supervision of sex offenders on parole in response to a mounting outcry over apparent breakdowns in two ongoing high-profile cases.

Agents will also have to more aggressively monitor "all alerts and violations" of the GPS tracking system and document how any problems were resolved.

And, parole officials will be required to notify law enforcement prior to reviewing a potential discharge from parole to learn whether there have been "service calls to he residence ... that might alert us to misbehavior which would require further investigation."

Melinda Silva, president of the Parole Agents Association of California, did not immediately return a phone call. Earlier, she told the Associate Press that the increased workload will overwhelm agents charged with tracking the movements of 40 sex offenders. She wants that caseload cut in half. "If they want to improve supervision," she said, "they've got to reduce caseload."

California to keep closer watch on sex offenders
After criticism over high-profile lapses, state parole officials issue new rules that increase monitoring of sex offenders.
March 20, 2010
<snipped>
Parole agents must now track the whereabouts of the state's nearly 5,000 low-level sex offenders through ankle monitors at least four days a month. Previously, no policy mandated how often low-level offenders had to be tracked.

An additional 2,000 high-risk sex offenders, who already are supposed to be monitored daily, must be visited by a parole officer at their homes twice a month, up from one monthly visit.

The new parole policies also require agents to investigate and document each time a device is unable to acquire a signal or is detected in a prohibited zone. The more stringent reporting requirements are designed to alert authorities to misbehavior that might signal a crime is in the works, officials said.

Parole agents also must notify local law enforcement when an offender is released from parole.

Dog walker says she saw slaying suspect
Saturday, March 20, 2010 at 12:01 a.m.
<snipped>
Becky Sangha has always felt safe walking the trails along Lake Hodges, where she enjoys fresh air, scenery and chitchat with fellow dog walkers. But her feeling of security was shaken Feb. 28 after an unsettling encounter with a man she would later identify as John Albert Gardner III, a registered sex offender who was arrested hours later in connection with the murder of Poway teenager Chelsea King. Now with Gardner behind bars, Sangha is brushing aside the fear and joining hundreds of others today to take back the park.

She said she first saw the man as she drove along the north side of Lake Hodges on Lake Drive with her 5-year-old daughter and their four dogs about 2:30 p.m. Sangha said he appeared to be intoxicated as he walked up an embankment off the road. The man stumbled into the road, and Sangha had to maneuver a bit to avoid hitting him. &#8220;I remember thinking, &#8216;That guy is going to get himself killed on this curvy road,&#8217;&#8201;&#8221; she recalled. &#8220;He seemed out of it.&#8221;

She continued to the parking lot and took a walk near the boat launch. The area was full of the usual joggers and dog walkers that day. Search-and-rescue teams looking for Chelsea were focused on the opposite side of the lake. Sangha, her daughter and the dogs were about halfway back to the car when she heard the bushes crackling, and the same man walked out. Wearing a red T-shirt and black pants, he walked unsteadily with a &#8220;tall boy&#8221; beer can in one hand. His pants were wet from the thighs down.

Several hours later, as she was getting ready for bed, she happened to glimpse the TV and thought she recognized the man&#8217;s face on the evening news. The TV reporter was talking about Gardner&#8217;s arrest about 4:30 p.m. at the Hernandez Hide-A-Way restaurant in connection with Chelsea&#8217;s disappearance.

She called police that night and reported her earlier encounter, then spent the following day showing authorities the two spots where she had seen him. Authorities searched for clues in those areas, but she wouldn&#8217;t comment on any evidence they might have recovered. Chelsea&#8217;s body was found the next day in a shallow grave on the other side of the lake.

Control of sexual offenders ramps up
Parole agents ordered to increase supervision
Saturday, March 20, 2010 at 12:04 a.m.
<snipped>
The state released new directives yesterday to immediately tighten its parole agents&#8217; supervision of convicted sex offenders in response to a mounting outcry over apparent breakdowns in two ongoing, high-profile cases.

Hinkle said the department was working on those changes before revelations this month that John Albert Gardner III, charged in the rape and killing of Chelsea King, 17, of Poway, violated his parole at least seven times after he was released from prison for molesting a 13-year-old neighbor in Rancho Bernardo and was never returned to prison.

Hinkle said the review was launched in the aftermath of the case against Phillip Garrido, a paroled sex offender charged with snatching Jaycee Dugard off a South Lake Tahoe street when she was 11 and holding her captive for 18 years.

Parole agents learned of the new policies for managing high-risk sex offenders in a memo distributed Thursday. Yesterday, the department gave to the news media a 30-page document outlining the changes.

Chelsea&#8217;s Poway High School cross country teammate Julie Gattenio said participants wanted people to be safe again at the park.

&#8220;We&#8217;re going to do everything we can so this doesn&#8217;t happen again,&#8221; she said, &#8220;so people can run on our trails and be safe, and so people can start a run and know they&#8217;re going to finish it.&#8221;

The area was decorated with flowers, and many of the estimated 3,000 participants wore orange (Chelsea&#8217;s favorite color) and blue (the color of her eyes). Before the start of the run, a local band called &#8220;Truth on Earth&#8221; performed a song they wrote about Chelsea. Light blue rubber bracelets were also on sale as a fundraiser for Chelsea&#8217;s Light Foundation, the organization started by her parents, Kelly and Brent King.

Kelly King was standing at the end of the run Saturday hugging participants.

State releases Gardner's prison file
8:02 AM PDT, March 18, 2010
<snipped>
The report shows that he did not get along with other inmates. In a 2004 report, Gardner was placed in an "administration segregation unit." In 2005, he got into what the report termed as "mutual combat" with another inmate at Avenal State Prison.

The report also shows possible flaws in how his parole was handled. According to the report, Gardner lived just half a mile from a daycare center near Miramar College, a violation of his parole. He was supposed to leave that residence in August of 2006, but a year later, parole officers discovered him still there. According to Gardner in the report, he was never told to relocate. In September of 2007, parole officers told him to leave. He eventually relocated to a sober living house in Vista.

Gardner had 8 run-ins with law after prison release
Suspect in Chelsea King murder fined for drug, driving offenses
3:57 PM PDT, March 19, 2010
<snipped>
The state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation could not be reached for comment Friday. The media office was closed for a state-mandated furlough day.

Officers who stop sex offenders for minor violations may not be aware of their status, authorities said. A few states include notification on their driver's licenses that the holder is a sex offender, but California licenses do not.

Gardner, 30, has pleaded not guilty to assaulting and murdering the Poway teen, who vanished last month while running at a San Diego wilderness park. Her body was found near the shore of Lake Hodges.

Gardner also is under investigation but has not been charged in the killing of 14-year-old Amber Dubois, who vanished last year while walking to school in Escondido. Her bones were discovered earlier this month north of San Diego.

Records show that between his prison release and re-arrest, Gardner was cited at least eight times for running a red light, speeding, lacking proof of insurance, possessing marijuana and having an open container of alcohol in a car.

He was fined in seven cases, and one speeding ticket was dismissed after he completed traffic school.

He also is under investigation but has not been charged in the slaying of 14-year-old Amber Dubois.

Records show officials decided not to send Gardner back to prison, even though he violated a condition of his parole by living too close to a daycare center.

REGION: GPS monitoring of sex offenders is useful, but limited, experts say
'It can't tell you what they're doing'
March 20, 2010 5:15 pm
<snipped>
California voters in 2006 overwhelmingly approved Jessica's Law, which mandated that the state's sex offenders be monitored for life with a GPS unit.

With a GPS, or Global Positioning System, unit strapped to every sex offender's ankle, police would be able to look at a computer and see exactly where these potentially dangerous individuals were at all times.

But more than three years after the law's passage, only a fraction of the state's registered sex offenders wear a GPS unit, which uses satellites to pinpoint a person's location. In San Diego County, only those on parole and a handful of high-risk probationers have them.

How it's used
The offenders are monitored at two levels, based on the risks they pose.

Parole agents monitor 2,192 of the offenders "actively," following a parolee's whereabouts in real time on a computer map several times throughout the day while also scrutinizing their tracks, Hinkle said.

Some 4,796 parolees deemed a lower risk are monitored "passively," with agents checking them by computer a couple of times a day, he said.

Gardner let unit run low
But letting a battery get low, as Gardner did four times, doesn't kill the GPS or prevent monitoring. That violation would usually prompt a warning, as it did in Gardner's case, Hinkle said.

Lifetime monitoring unlikely
Jessica's Law author Sen. George Runner, R-Antelope Valley, told the state's Sex Offender Management Board in 2007 that the lifetime GPS monitoring provision was intended to apply to people paroled after the law passed, with local police taking over the responsibility for buying and monitoring the technology, according to a press release from Runner's office.

ESCONDIDO: Forum on Megan's law to be held at arts center
March 20, 2010 4:41 pm

Authorities on Tuesday will hold a forum to talk about ways to strengthen Megan's Law, the state law that allows the public to track the whereabouts of sex offenders in their communities.

The two-hour informational panel at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido, will include presentations by Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, R-San Diego, San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, Escondido Mayor Lori Holt Pfeiler, Escondido police Chief Jim Maher and Escondido Union High School District Superintendent Ed Nelson.

Authorities are holding the forum in response to the recent slayings of two local teens, Amber Dubois and Chelsea King. John Albert Gardner III, a registered sex offender, was charged earlier this month with raping and murdering Chelsea and is a focus in the investigation of Amber's death.
*The forum, sponsored by the Escondido Chamber of Commerce, is free and open to the public. The event runs from 7 to 9 p.m. at the art center's 1,500-seat concert hall, 340 N. Escondido Blvd. in Escondido.
**For more information, call the chamber at 760-745-2125.

REGION: EPD was watching more than Gardner
17 staffers spend some time tracking sex offenders
March 20, 2010 5:08 pm
<snipped>
Accused murderer John Albert Gardner III is the most infamous registered sex offender to inhabit Escondido in recent memory. But he was only one of nearly 200 sex offenders Escondido police tracked, and continue to track, in the inland North County community.

Under state law, local law enforcement agencies must record the home and work addresses and vehicle information for all sex offenders living in their jurisdictions. Sex offenders must notify police when that information changes, and officers must record it. Aside from that, there's little police are required to do to monitor the offenders ---- unless the agency decides to seek them out during compliance checks. Carter, an Escondido police spokesman, said his agency's officers met with Gardner eight times during the two years he lived in the city, as part of its sex offender-tracking program. He would not elaborate on those meetings or whether Gardner was interviewed specifically related to Amber's disappearance, citing a recent court-imposed gag order.

How EPD's program works
The Escondido Police Department's monitoring team is comprised of two lieutenants, two sergeants, eight officers and four detectives, all of whom have duties aside from the team. The unit also includes an administrative coordinator whose sole job is to manage local sex offender files. The team checks, in person, whether the offenders truly live at their registered home, work at the job they've listed and drive their specified vehicle.

Sex offenders range from rapists to child molesters to those convicted of indecent exposure. The identities and addresses of lower-level sex offenders, such as exposers, are sometimes shielded from the public by law. As such, the number of convicted sex offenders in a given city is often greater than that shown on the Megan's Law Web site, http://www.meganslaw.ca.gov. Escondido police declined to say how often or when compliance checks are made. They don't want sex offenders to know when they're coming, they explained.

"A very proactive and logical approach"
Lindon Lewis, an Escondido-based state parole supervisor, said Escondido police have worked diligently to track the city's sex offenders. Over the past three weeks, since Gardner was arrested, they've asked Lewis and others what more they can do, the parole official said.

The three-mile run began at 9 a.m. at Rancho Bernardo Community Park where many dressed in King's favorite colors, blue and orange. As part of the event, a band played on stage between giant posters of King. "It was devastating to everyone," said Rancho Bernardo resident Kathleen McCabe. "As a mother, it's devastating. You can't go to places you would normally go and relax and be with your family. You have this fear that someone's going to attack your children."

Other participants had the same mentality at Saturday's event. "We don't want our youngsters thinking that just because something happened in the park that they can't enjoy it for the rest of their lives," said Chula Vista resident Michelle Blasko. "We need, as a community to come back and just take it back. That's why we want to finish Chelsea's run."

Gardner served five years in prison after pleading guilty to attacking a 13-year-old neighbor girl in Rancho Bernardo in 2000. He was paroled in
September 2005. The 30-year-old Gardner could face the death penalty if convicted in Chelsea's death. A preliminary hearing is set for Aug. 4.

Escondido police said Gardner is a focal point into their investigation into the death of Escondido teen Amber Dubois. Amber was 14 when she went missing while walking to Escondido High School in February 2009. Her remains were discovered in the Pala area earlier this month.
