GUILTY NJ - Autumn Pasquale, 12, murdered, Clayton, 20 Oct 2012 *teens arrested*

[Jersey*Girl]

I'm new to WS and I was wondering why there has apparently been no Amber Alert in this case yet, so I looked up the criteria:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMBER_Alert#Activation_criteria

I guess they do not feel there's enough evidence of an abduction.

It was said le though she may have run away. Not sure I'm buying that...

 

[Jersey*Girl]

I think it's meant to imply her phone may have pinged there.

that is a tweet from a reporter

I think (just my guess) that is where her phone pinged near during last text exchange with her mother perhaps?

Yes. On her Mother's FB it was posted that last contact was 2:41, text i think - something to that effect.

here is NJ's criteria

Looks like they don't need suspect description or vehicle info like some states do.

I agree JG, at first I thought she just took off being an almost teenager, but I've changed my thoughts this am due to the length of time.

 

[Jersey*Girl]

My son has a school function today. I'm feeling so bad bc I'd like to volunteer searching. Hope she turns up safe & sound.

also, did anyone notice this before???

“I don’t know who she was supposed to meet up with,” Cornwall said. “She just left and said she was meeting a friend.”

There are pictures of Autumn from last July that show a lil bit of pudge. The most recent pics show a totally flat tummy. Her face & neck are very thin now compared to last July's picture. I think it's important to get her recent pictures out there & how she dresses now compared to last year. There is a vast difference in her appearance. I still can't get over the 120 pounds. The pics I'm seeing I'm tellin' ya there's no way she's 120, unless she's still pudgy & her recent pics hide it? I say a buck 05 tops.

LE seems to be working this like an abduction, so i'm confused as to no Amber Alert as well.

"the search for Pasquale has included Clayton police, state police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Gloucester County Emergency Response Team. The county’s Child Abduction Response Team (CART), which is coordinated by Prosecutor’s Office detectives, also took part."

Was it mentioned anywhere that she took certain things with her that might make people believe she ran away, like money, change of clothes, diary, make up, etc?

 

[nursebeeme]

She is not listed at NCMEC yet... wonder why?

Then the person a few pages before might have been right thinking they saw her. They said the girl they saw was appr. 105 pounds, pink hair. I hope they told LE.

So what did they text back and forth about? Who doesn't ask where a 12-year is going or where she is when communicating? Am confused.

Well that's peculiar as there's another report with the friend's mum saying she never arrived. It read as though it was a planned meet, but maybe I was reading it the wrong way? I'll see if I can find it again.

EDIT: Can't find the actual report right now but did uncover this:

Her father, Tony Pasquale, told reporters he believes his daughter was heading to a friend's house. He became worried when he discovered she never made it there.

"This is not like her," Pasquale told news crews. "She would have been home 11 o'clock this morning (Sunday) if she slept over a friend's house.

The middle picture looks similar to a girl I saw at Riverwinds football field yesterday, but the girl had alot more pink in her hair & she def didn't weigh 120. I'm 126 & 5'5, so the girl I saw was maybe 5'2-5'3 & maybe 105 tops. Face is similar, though. I said cute hair & she said its for breast cancer awareness month. She had on a hoodie.

Someone above says on the fb page in her recent pictures she looks much slimmer. Have you called LE?

 

[GulfCoastKAT]

I just watched local news.. Autumns Dad said the police expressed runaway, but he feels no way is she a runaway. Search to resume at 6 am.

I will check here periodically from work. (as I can)

Please come home safe Autumn.

I hate when police label them runaways. No matter if she ran away or not- she is TWELVE. A baby!

Backpack, something about her having a backpack. Anybody?

That was me but I didn't think it was her after I spoke with my friend last night. I don't want to waste police resource time & add to their thought of a runaway. Besides, there was a cop at the game bc his son played against my son. The cop would have seen this as well.

In mom's defense, Autumn was at her dad's. I don't know if she lives with her dad or her mom, or if they share equal time, but do know that they are divorced and/or not together anymore. From what's been written, Autumn made plans to go to her friend's house but never made it there. Don't think there's anything nefarious regarding her friend.

I'm thinking either an accident or an abduction.
