Family searching for Hillsboro girl since first of year - Times Gazette

At 5:15 p.m. on Jan. 1, the Sheriff‘s office received a call of criminal damaging at the Greystone Motel on U.S. Route 50 just east of the Hillsboro city limits. He said an officer arrived on the scene at 7:26 p.m., and after investigating, determined that Roosa had been crawling through the ductwork above motel rooms, fell through the ceiling, refused help from a man in the room she fell into, then took off into the woods near the motel.

According to Barrera, the officer looked around the area for Roosa and talked to witnesses before clearing the scene at 7:42 p.m.

“No one had any direction of her heading into the woods,” Barrera said. “We’ve been actively searching for her since, and we have followed up on any leads we received, but so far nothing has come through.”

Barrera said that after clearing the scene, the investigating officer spent about 30 minutes driving around the area and asking local residents if they had seen a girl wearing a green shirt and blue leggings, but no one reported seeing her.

Jordan claims that her daughter may have been hurt when she fell through the ceiling and landed on a sink.

But Barrera said the person who first reported to the sheriff’s office what happened at the motel was the man whose room Roosa fell into. Barrera said the man did not notice any injuries.

“He said she ran up through the woods like nothing was wrong with her,” Barrera said.

It is a story with several twists and turns. The series of events apparently began in Greenfield, after police officers there picked Roosa up on a warrant on Dec. 31 and took her to jail.

Wow, what a story. I wonder if she was on drugs? I hope she made it out of the woods and her body isn't just waiting to be found. That would be a tragic ending.

I'd wager she was high. Either she succumbed to the elements or she is hiding as she's a fugitive from justice. She has multiple arrests for drug trafficking and possession, (Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction) and obstruction of justice. Roosa, Lanessa Dawnlyn (08/18/1997) and parole violation. Public records: Crime reports most recent drug arrest was in November. Greenfield Police Department reports - Times Gazette. The arrest that resulted in her leaving the hospital was this one.

Roosa was taken into custody in Greenfield on New Year’s Eve.

Her mother, Jordan, speaking:

“… I assisted in finding her that day,” she said. “After attempting to locate her for three weeks, we finally got a good lead and the bondsman had to contact Greenfield Police Department to help apprehend her… She called me that evening after she was arrested and informed me of how sick she was from a bad infection in her mouth from a tooth and with a staff [sic] infection that was under her arm. She begged me to let her dad bring her daughter in to visit her the next day. Her dad picked up her daughter around 1:50 p.m., went to Greenfield Police Department to visit, and got informed that she was missing.”

After receiving a call from Roosa’s father, Jordan said she drove to the GPD and was told that early on the morning of Jan. 1, her daughter was in severe pain, the police department called a squad to check her out, and the squad determined she needed to go to Adena Greenfield Medical Center.

According to the Jordan, her daughter was granted some kind of 24-hour medical furlough, then after a couple hours at the hospital, Roosa walked out with her boyfriend.

Roosa asked her boyfriend to take her Highland District Hospital in Hillsboro, Jordan said, but on the way there she asked to go to the Greystone first to rest and clean up.

After the boyfriend dropped Roosa off, Jordan said he left to repair problems with his vehicle.

Around 5 p.m. that evening, Jordan said she received a phone call from the boyfriend saying Roosa had crawled into a cubbyhole at the motel. She said she was about 15 minutes from Hillsboro when she received the call.

“Before I got there she had crawled into the ceiling and over top of three or four other motel rooms before she fell through the ceiling into another room and hit her head and hip on the bathroom sink when she fell,” Jordan said.

The next day, Jordan said she, Roosa’s boyfriend, her dad and stepmother searched the woods around the hotel for about four hours, but did not find her.

Roosa is 5’3, 115 pounds, white, with a thin build and brown hair. She has a tattoo of a pot leaf on her lower back, a butterfly tattoo on her upper right thigh, and a green and brown camouflage tattoo on her forearm.

Jordan said Roosa has not contacted her, her boyfriend — who Jordan said was her meal ticket — or her best friend from her days at McClain High School. She said that is not like her daughter.

Drug problem. Was being taken into custody, begged for a medical release only to try to climb out of the motel through vents. She's running from LE.

If she was being taken in by LE intially I dont believe she'd be high in the hotel, IMO shes running.

With that said I hope she is running and does the right thing. Hopefully not ending in tragedy.

Her FB is pretty rough.

Wow! That’s about all I can think to say. It does sound like she may have considered her boyfriend was taking her where she could be tear rested and decided to flee instead. That’s pretty elaborate scheme though. Why not just walk out the door and away, while the boyfriend was gone. It makes no sense, the more I think about it, the less it seems to sound like anything someone would just come up with on a whim. Hope she is found safe.

Man, I thought I'd had some eventful ringing out the old and ringing in the new-like moments. Nope!

If she hasn't contacted anyone since she ran off into the woods, how does mom know she hit her head & hip when she fell through the ceiling?

There was a man in the room in which she fell through the ceiling. He saw it happen and spoke to her before she ran off.

Pardon my technical difficulties...

I meant to respond to bwt42..oops
I also wonder how Mom knew about her head and hip.

But per the first post above, the man whose room she fell into said

I don't know but it sounds like she maybe took something. How do you go into a cubby hole, and more important why? Is it possible that the boyfriend locked the door and she wasn't able to leave, or maybe he locked her in the bathroom and unable to escape through the window, she decided to try another way.
I am a little confused, why was boyfriend allowed to take her from the police station. I would think that LE would take her to see a dr?

ALL MOO!!!!!

It‘s possible she was locked out. Maybe she was being paranoid? Or she tried to steal something from the other room and it didn’t work out as planned? We can only guess.

I just took that to mean she fell on those areas, but didn’t injure herself. I fell on the ice the other day on my hip and arm, but I was able to get up and continue on with my day. No damage done other than being sore and bruised.

I see what you're saying now.
Also, sorry to hear you fell on the ice the other day. I live in a southern state with no ice and I can not IMAGINE having to worry about slipping or tripping on ICE. I'd be in the hospital every week.

That was my thought. Somewhat of a cat burglar???

I think it depends what she was on, and I’m willing to bet she was on something. If she was on meth and fractured her skull and hip in the fall, she might have been ‘feeling no pain’ to the point that she was able to run away looking fine. I had a friend fracture his pelvis in an auto accident while very drunk years ago and try to walk away before finding he couldn’t support his body weight.
