MO - Lindsay, 8, & Samuel Porter, 7, Independence, 6 June 2004

[mom3dd]

Bittersweet I am glad that Sam and Lindsay can rest in peace now and that Mom can know where they are. Lord what I would give to be with that . He wouldn't tell where they were because he was trying to get away with murder and also enjoyed the heartache he caused the family, if I can't have what I want then no one else will either. I can not wait to follow his murder trial is there DP in Mo? This just breaks my heart. God be with Tina.

 

[christine2448]

Just rec'd this email from Monica @ Cue for the missing, my heart breaks for this mom. The torture is over for her now, he has nothing to hold over her anymore.

May the children now be able to rest in peace.

It is with great sadness we advise you of the recent news, please pray for this family and Tina (mother).


Children's Bodies Found

1 hour ago
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) — The mother of two children missing since 2004 says police have found their remains in woods east of Kansas City, a newspaper reported Sunday.
Tina Porter told the Kansas City Star that Independence police officers arrived at her house Sunday morning to give her the news that they found the remains of Sam and Lindsey Porter in the woods in Sugar Creek, about eight miles from Kansas City.
"Maj. (Gregg) Wilkinson said they were 99 percent sure that it was Sam and Lindsey," she said. Police said they expected to have test results back in about 24 hours.
Police declined to comment Sunday, but police vehicles lined the road Sunday near the wooded area.
Sam and Lindsey Porter were 7 and 8 years old when their father, Dan Porter, picked them up from his estranged wife on June 5, 2004, for a weekend visit. The children haven't been seen since.
Dan Porter, 44, was convicted in February 2006 of parental kidnapping with the intent to terrorize his ex-wife and sentenced to 38 years in prison.
After his arrest, Porter told authorities several stories about what he had done with his children, including that he had cut them up and that he had strangled them.

Timeline in Porter case


June 5, 2004
8 a.m.
Dan Porter picks up Sam and Lindsey at Tina Porter’s house in Independence. He goes to the basement and starts searching in the ceiling for guns he has stashed there, but she tells him he can’t take them.
11 a.m.
Dan calls Tina several times throughout the morning, saying he’s at an estate sale in Liberty and has bought some furniture. He wants to trade the car for the pickup truck.
11:45 a.m.
Tina meets Dan on Cement City Road in Sugar Creek, about two miles from her house. Sam and Lindsey aren’t with him. He tells her he left them at an estate sale. Wanting to see the children, she tells Dan that she’ll drive him to Liberty. As they head northeast along Cement City Road, he tells her to put the truck in four-wheel drive and pull onto a narrow gravel path into the woods. He says he stashed a black bag containing $50,000 in the woods and wants to go get it. He says the money came from a bank robbery he’d committed. He also tells her a .243 rifle is in the trunk of the car. She refuses to drive into the woods and starts to get out and walk, but then drives him back to the car and takes the pickup back home. He calls her shortly after that and says he’s gotten rid of the gun in the woods, so she trades vehicles with him on a street near their house.
Later that afternoon
Dan calls Tina and says he’s taking the kids to Worlds of Fun, but he won’t let Tina talk to them.
Midnight
Dan leaves a text message for Tina, telling her to retrieve a letter at a gas station near the intersection of Missouri 210 and Missouri 291.

Remains may be 2 kids missing since 2004
BY MARIA SUDEKUM FISHER, The Associated Press
SUGAR CREEK, Mo. - Police searching for two missing children found a shallow grave in the woods, and the children's mother said she had been told the remains insider are likely those of her son and daughter, missing since 2004.
Sam and Lindsey Porter were 7 and 8 when Tina Porter last saw them.
Her estranged husband, Dan Porter, had picked up the children for a weekend visit on June 5, 2004. According to police, Dan Porter had also wanted Tina Porter to meet him that day near a wooded, industrial area of Sugar Creek where he used to poach deer, ostensibly to change vehicles.
Police searched the area after the children disappeared, then went back this weekend and discovered the small grave.
Tom Gentry, a spokesman for the Independence Police Department, said the remains had not been positively identified, but he said that if dental records are available, the identification could come quickly.
"We want to be very cautious before we make any definitive statements," Gentry said.
Tina Porter said she got the news from Independence police officers Sunday morning.
"It was like watching a movie," she said. "I saw the police cars drive up, and my first thought was that they were coming to tell me they'd found Sam and Lindsey alive.
"I feel so sick. It just doesn't seem real."
The officer told her they had found human remains in the woods at Sugar Creek, about eight miles from Kansas City. "Maj. (Gregg) Wilkinson said they were 99 percent sure that it was Sam and Lindsey," Tina Porter told the Kansas City Star.
Dan Porter had told authorities several stories about what he had done with his children, including that he had cut them up and that he had strangled them. Last year, he was convicted of parental kidnapping with the intent to terrorize his ex-wife and was sentenced to 38 years in prison.

Discovery of remains heightens fears for missing Porter children

By JUDY L. THOMAS and JOYCE TSAI
The Kansas City Star


Authorities believe they may have found the remains of two Independence children missing since June 2004, the mother of Sam and Lindsey Porter said Sunday.

Tina Porter told The Kansas City Star that Independence police officers told her that they found human remains in the woods along Cement City Road in Sugar Creek.
“I saw the police cars drive up, and my first thought was that they were coming to tell me they’d found Sam and Lindsey alive,” she said. “I feel so sick. It just doesn’t seem real.”
Independence police spokesman Tom Gentry said Sunday night that authorities had found a grave containing what appeared to be “human bones,” but were awaiting confirmation. He declined to comment on what led police to search the area.
“We have brought in an anthropologist, and he is working at the site as if it was an anthropological dig,” Gentry said. “Each item will be marked and photographed, and the entire area will be mapped.”
Gentry said that using dental records would be the fastest way to identify the remains. He said results could be available in as little as 24 hours. DNA tests would take longer, he said. He would not say which method investigators were using.
Gentry said police found bones in a grave around 10 a.m. Sunday. The grave was about 3 feet long and 3 feet wide, Gentry said. He did not say how deep it was, but said it was in a densely wooded area within a flood plain.
“It appeared they were human, so we went ahead and contacted the forensics people and the anthropologist,” he said.
Gentry said the investigation was being conducted by the Independence and Sugar Creek police departments, the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI.
Sam and Lindsey Porter were 7 and 8 when their father picked them up on June 5, 2004, for the weekend. At the time, Dan Porter was estranged from his wife, Tina. The children haven’t been seen since.
The remains were discovered halfway between Missouri 291 and Kentucky Road on property owned by La Farge North America, where Dan Porter used to poach deer and not far from his old home. The area had been searched numerous times with search-and-rescue dogs since the children’s disappearance. The last time was in December.
Police also had an interest in the area because just before noon on the day Porter took the children, he called Tina Porter and asked her to meet him on Cement City Road to exchange vehicles with him. He wanted their pickup, he told Tina, because he had just bought some furniture at an estate sale in Liberty.
Tina Porter said that when she met Dan Porter, she became concerned because the children weren’t with him. She said Porter then tried to get her to drive the pickup into the woods, telling her that he had stashed $50,000 there and wanted to get it, but she refused.
Sugar Creek Police Chief Herb Soule told The Star on Sunday that the area authorities searched was near the spot where Porter tried to lure Tina Porter into the woods.
“All of this area has been covered at one time or another,” Soule said, “but it’s such a dense area that it’s possible to miss things.”
Dan Porter, 44, was convicted in February 2006 of parental kidnapping with the intent to terrorize his ex-wife and sentenced to 38 years in prison.
After his arrest on the kidnapping charges, he told authorities several stories about what he had done with his children, including that he had cut them up and that he had strangled them.
In a letter to Tina Porter, however, he wrote that the children were in a wonderful place.
“When they come home,” Dan Porter wrote, “it’ll be because somebody in the public spots them. But they’re having a childhood that you and I can only dream of.”
Dan Porter called The Star in 2005 and said the children were doing fine and living with a wealthy family. But interviews with his friends, family members and co-workers last year revealed a pattern of bizarre behavior exhibited by him that raised concerns in the days leading up to the children’s disappearance.
Two weeks before he took his children, Porter told a former supervisor at his place of employment that he needed to take a week’s vacation. Porter also asked his supervisor to load five .44-caliber Magnum cartridges for him. The supervisor said he never gave Porter the cartridges because the request made him uneasy.
About the same time, Porter canceled his wife’s and children’s life insurance policies and tried to remove his wife as the beneficiary on his. And about a week before he took the children, Porter was seen leaving work with large plastic bags.
The day before he took the children, Porter also called his supervisor and told him he was quitting. He reportedly said, “I’ve figured out how to get out of paying child support.” Immediately after he took the children, Porter went to a friend’s house and said, “Your mouth would drop to the ground if you knew what I’d done.”
And the morning he was arrested, Porter called his half brother and said, “I don’t want you to go to your grave knowing what I’ve done.”
After Porter’s arrest, Tina Porter opened the trunk of her car and found the sole from a pair of new sandals she had just bought Sam. The sole had a small rock stuck in it, and there were some rocks in her trunk as well.
But when she confronted him about it during a jail visit, Porter told her the sole had fallen off when the children were playing at La Benite Park that morning.
Dan Porter talked about Sam and Lindsey often in jailhouse phone calls to a friend and some relatives. The Star obtained more than eight hours of recordings of the conversations through a Sunshine Law request.
In one phone call, Porter said he would rather die than reveal to authorities and his ex-wife what he did with them.
“Let ’em think that they’re dead,” he told his sister-in-law. “That way they don’t have to worry so much about finding them where they’re at. I’d rather die than give them the satisfaction.”
In call after call, he boasted about how he had the “upper hand” in what he saw as a cat-and-mouse game with the law. He mocked investigators for failing to find his children and laughed about how much money his case was costing the state.
“They’re looking so stupid,” he said in one call. “When they first arrested me, they didn’t look for no scars on my hands or arms or face to see if the kids fought back as I struggled to kill them. Or if I buried them, why wouldn’t I have calluses?”
In another call, Porter told his sister-in-law that he wanted people to believe the children were dead.
“That way, they can look for dead bodies in the woods by my house,” he said.
Mike Hart, a longtime friend of Dan and Tina Porter, said Sunday that he was stunned to hear that remains had been found and that they might be the Porter children.
“I wanted so badly to believe that Sam and Lindsey were alive,” he said.
Dan Porter’s sister-in-law, Sarah McGuire, said she also was shocked when she heard the news.
“I just don’t know what to say,” she said. “The Dan we knew was a very caring dad.”

And, he was probably trying to get her back there so she could see her babies and/or kill her too... sick sob...

 

[comfort80]

i think he wanted to show her what he'd done, then kill her and himself.
what a horrid horrid man.

 

[mom3dd]

And, he was probably trying to get her back there so she could see her babies and/or kill her too... sick sob...

I do not remember this timeline at all it seems obvious to me he meant to kill her doubt he would kill himself.

Anything at all that the justice system could do to this so-called person would be too good for him. What an evil . Someday he will face a Higher Judge.

Bones Confirmed As Missing Mo. Kids
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/C/CHILDREN_KIDNAPPED?SITE=FLTAM&SECTION=US

 

[mom3dd]

http://www.examiner.net/stories/091207/new_198898026.shtml snip more at link with few pictures.
I so hope the news keeps on this case. For 3 years we pray and hope then all the sudden it is over except it will never be over for Tina and her family.
I have always wondered why dogs can't find remains, seems to me an area that definate and searched so much would have been succesful years ago.

"We've had blood hounds, expert trackers, you name it down there," Soule said. "But since it's such a dense area, there's no way you could find anything."

While Gregg Wilkinson, supervisor of the Independence Police Investigations Unit, would not comment on how authorities were led to the site containing the remains of Sam and Lindsey Porter, he did say they were specifically targeting the densely wooded area northwest of Cement City Road, property owned by Lafarge North America. Aside from being a place where Dan Porter often illegally hunted, it is close to the Porters' home and a place where Tina Porter, the children's mother, agreed to meet Dan Porter the day he took the children. (See sidebar)

According to Wilkinson, the investigation was given new life when bones were discovered in a low-lying area adjacent a thinly marked trail used by hunters and passing fishermen en route to the Missouri River. The grave site lies about 75 yards from the road. "

 

[shdbepaintin]

I know we have a lot of people that we are angry about or at on WS.
But for some reason this one just cut me to the bone. I WAS so ANGRY at this guy for not telling where his kids were.
The teasing and taunting and his attitude.
OH:furious: :furious:
The control he welded.
And now to find out that he killed them and buried them. And you know he just sat back and thought it was a game.
My blood boils.
May he rot.

Porter children's bodies identified

By JUDY L. THOMAS and TONY RIZZO
The Kansas City Star Police today identified human remains as those of Sam and Lindsey Porter, who disappeared three years ago after their father took them for a weekend visit.

Authorities made the announcement at an 11 a.m. news conference which provided details about bones discovered Sunday in a shallow grave in a heavily wooded area along Cement City Road in Sugar Creek.

Forensics tests using dental records had been under way to determine whether the remains were those of the Porter children. Sam and Lindsey were 7 and 8 when they disappeared in June 2004 after their father, Dan Porter, picked them up at their Independence home.
“At about 5 or so we got a call telling us that those bones did belong to Sam and Lindsey Porter,” said Indpendence police spokesman Tom Gentry.

Authorities also disclosed that on late Monday afternoon they took the children’s mother, Tina Porter, to the site where the remains were found. She reportedly is in seclusion.
Gentry declined comment on whether prosecutors would be preparing charges and said that he had not been briefed yet on the cause of death.

Porter, 44, was convicted in February 2006 of parental kidnapping with the intent to terrorize his ex-wife and sentenced to 38 years in prison.
After his arrest on the kidnapping charges, Porter told authorities several stories about what he had done with his children, including that he had cut them up and that he had strangled them. But he also told friends, relatives and The Kansas City Star that the children were alive and living with another family.

The property where the remains were found is owned by La Farge North America and had been of interest to authorities because the land is near the Porters’ home and was an area where Dan Porter used to poach deer. The area had been combed numerous times with search-and-rescue dogs since the children’s disappearance.

Authorities also had focused on the area because just before noon on the day Dan Porter took the children, he called Tina Porter and asked her to meet him on Cement City Road to exchange vehicles with him. He told Tina Porter that he wanted their pickup because he had just bought some furniture at an estate sale in Liberty.
Tina Porter said she met Dan Porter and became concerned because Sam and Lindsey weren’t with him. When he told her he’d left them at the estate sale, she told her husband she’d drive with him to Liberty.
She said that as they drove along Cement City Road, Dan Porter kept looking around nervously as though he was searching for something, then told her to stop at a narrow path and drive the pickup into the woods. Tina Porter said he told her that he had stashed $50,000 there and wanted to go get it, but she refused.
Mike Hart, a long-time friend of Dan and Tina Porter who has kept in regular contact with Dan Porter since his arrest, said he still couldn’t believe the news.
“I know he seems like a monster, but I just wish you could have seen him in action earlier in life,” Hart said. “He was a whole other person who had a good outlook on life and a fairly good future until he got caught up in the drug thing and everything went terribly wrong from there.
“It was something he always seemed to be able to control until at some point he lost it and the drugs took over his mind and he simply melted down. And I’m sure the dramatic and horrific childhood he had didn’t help matters at all.”

Porter is currently in “administrative segregation” at Crossroads Correctional Center in Cameron, according to Missouri Department of Corrections spokesman Brian Hauswirth.
“He’s isolated from the general population,” Hauswirth said. “We put people in there for a variety of reasons…”
Hauswirth said corrections officials have been cooperating with the Independence Police Department.

“We have been sharing information and providing information to them. What’s in that information we cannot get into,” he said.
At the news conference not far from where the remains were found, Gentry said in “one sense it is somewhat of a closure, a resolution, to this long case…in another sense it hits us all right in the heart.”

[Taximom]

This has to be bittersweet in a way. At least they are no longer missing, but I sure wish it had turned out differently.

Thanks for the update, Blaize.

 

[blaize]

I know Taximom, such a sad case but it looks like he intended to kill the mother too.

At least now the children can be laid to rest & the so called father tried for double murder.

 

[PrayersForMaura]

so sad

prayers for their mother.
God rest their little souls.

 

[Bobbisangel]

I wonder if that was his plan...to murder Tina...when he told her to drive into the woods? Thank God she refused to do it.

Are they saying that the bodies of the children where found close to where the Porters lived....where Tina and the kids had lived? I wonder why they hadn't been found before if that area had been searched a few times? That is odd.

I'm glad that the kids were finally found. Poor Tina has held out hope all of this time. At least she has answers now and can lay her children to rest.

I hope they really nail the dad's butt. How a father can be so hateful as to murder his own children to get revenge on his ex-wife is just beyond me.

 

[kitty]

How very sad for Tina. I just knew that SOB killed his kids and we would have NEVER told anyone. At least she now has soem answers even though they are not the ones she wants at least she doesn't have to wonder anymore.

I just found an articel and this man is just a piece of work...read more here: http://www.kansascity.com/115/story/268354.html

Apparently, a life of confinement suited him just fine.
“Man, I’m eating this up,” he said in a Jackson County jail phone call recorded in February 2006. “Being able to sleep extra, take a nap in the middle of the day if I want, play cards...”
He said fellow inmates couldn’t figure out why he was so cheerful.
Most inmates, Porter noted, are “worried about what’s going to happen to them.”
“I’m living better in here than I did part of the time growing up,” he said.
“And it’s free.”

:banghead: :razz:


If only it was possible to execute someone for being a complete douche.

 

[mysteriew]

They talk about the prison cooperating and exchanging information, it sounds as though Porter finally talked. Regardless of that fact, I hope the DP is on the table when they try him.
