Three missing cases connected?

Over a span of four years, three girls from the same Cleveland neighborhood have gone missing. They all lived on the west side of the city. And they all vanished blocks from one another.
Are the three cases connected? The FBI suspects they may be related. “We really believe someone out there knows something,” says Special Agent Scott Wilson. “We’re looking for that one tip that will lead us to find them.” Here’s the FBI’s account of each incident:
Amanda Berry disappeared on the evening of April 21, 2003. After her shift at a Burger King ended, the 16-year-old headed home. It should have taken just a few minutes to reach her house. But she was never seen or heard from again.

Gina has been missing for 5 years today. Prayers for her family that one day there will be answers.

Film crew to make documentary of Cleveland teen's disappearance

It has been more than five years since 14-year-old Gina DeJesus vanished without a trace on Cleveland's near west side. Now a local movie production group is hoping to get some answers.
The crew is filming an hour-long documentary of Gina's story.
The video will re-enact the day Gina disappeared, and contain interviews with FBI Investigators and Gina's friends and family.
The documentary will also focus on Amanda Berry, who was just 16 when she disappeared around the same neighborhood.

Cleveland girl missing for seven years

On April 2nd, 2004 Gina DeJesus left Wilbur Wright Middle School, walked to W. 105th and Lorain Road and vanished without a trace.

Seven years later, the pain remains fresh for Gina's mother, Nancy Ruiz. It's the not knowing that is unimaginable unless you're the parent of a missing child. "It gets harder each day, each week, each month and each year," Ruiz said.

The family held its annual sad tradition for Saturday night - a vigil to pray that someone will come forward with information on Gina's whereabouts.

i have always feared gina was secretly seeing a guy in his 20s-30s, that she trusted him, he pulled up and asked to give her a ride on her way home, than kidnapped her for human trafficking.
I think maybe amanda had an angry guy she didn't want to be with who took her outta anger, annd that ashley ran away and met with sex slavery.
Just opinions,
I had gina dejesus for the project jason adopt a missing person program, i recieved a letter from her mom, so heart wrenching, i think of this girl all the time, shes always in the back of my mind. i think she's alive but in danger

 

[Irish_Eyes]

I think of her too....so hoping that she will be found safe and soon!

 

[amber1]

the huge possibility of her being alive maybe brain washed,( i watched a two hour special on human trafficking and the pimps who "own" the girls brain wash them, threaten to kill their families if they go back or they degrade the girls and tell them they are filthy and would bring shame to the families for being sex slaves, so many stay in hiding), but alive makes me want to bring her back all the more faster.

Rally for Gina DeJesus Today

It was eight years ago today that Gina DeJesus was last seen walking home from Wilbur Wright Middle School on April 2, 2004.

There will be a vigil today to mark the eighth anniversary of the disappearance of Georgina DeJesus, who was 14 when she vanished from the West Side.

Family, friends and community activists will gather at 6:30 p.m. at West 105th Street and Lorain Avenue, where she was last seen about 2:45 p.m. when she was walking home from school.

Georgina is always in my heart and prayers, I think this year is the year to bring her home.
Any known suspects in her case?

I would like to share the documentary of Gina Dejesus
Part 1:
http://youtu.be/sXP7ZtvzZBM
Part 2:
http://youtu.be/IoVnCIV2d4U

Although I have a place in my heart for all these all too familiar stories, Gina is one very special because she was the Missing Angel I adopted through Project Jason years ago. My friend adopted Heaven LaShae Ross. While we have some answers in Heaven's case, there is nothing for Gina Dejesus. I would like to share these clips to keep Gina's story alive. She is still missing and someone out there knows why.

**Could Gina have been a victim of human trafficking? Could Amanda Berry and Ashley Summers as well?

9 Years Later: Vigil Held for Missing Girl

Snipped from the above link:

“It’s been very hard on me,” said Gina’s mother, Nancy Ruiz. “I’m asking from my heart and I’m begging, and I know Gina is out there, and Gina, if you can see this, honey, know and trust that I love you. We will never give up this fight. We will fight until the end to bring you home, and know that we love you.”

Ughhh, so sad. :cry:
