WA WA - Adre'anna Jackson, 10, Lakewood, 2 Dec 2005

[KatherineQ]

I'm really curious about the girls who say they saw her at the middle school late Friday. One of the girls knows Adre-Anna from school, and says she spoke to her. So. Either:

1. The girl DID see Adre-Anna there and that's a huge clue OR
2. The girl is willfully lying.

Seems like the first step is to figure out which of the two is right.

edited to add: I guess they've decided they don't believe the girl's story. I don't think there would be any reason to call off a ground search if they believe what she said. Hmm.

 

[SewingDeb]

So what was going on at home that made her sad and reluctant to return there?

That's what I'm wondering.

 

[IdahoMom]

All the possibly and may have beens' concerning her clothing sets off my hinky meter..and are there actually parents who do not check to see if school is in session everyday before sending the kids out? Maybe things are different in other parts of the country, than they are here in the south.Anyway...back to lurkdome I go

Sorry to say this but, this mother gives me the creeps. I have a hunch this poor little girl never left home to walk to school.

She was smiling the entire time she talked, and the guy on the porch smoking (her father maybe)? Acted as if he was being imposed upon...Dear lord have mercy my skin is crawling!And if I am wrong please forgive me...

I realize this isn't the case discussion thread but since I don't yet see a discussion thread for this case I have to say I wonder at the mother not knowing school was not in session. Most kids pay attention to any possibility of not having to go to school and are sure to let the mom know so they can just stay home and play. And I would think that most parents would also pay attention to radio reports each morning just in case. . . so how did this child get sent to school on a day when there was no school? Something not quite right about that story.

I came away from that with the same thoughts/impressions.

A longer article said they were watching TV to try to figure out which schools were closed but somehow couldn't tell if hers was in session, so she decided to walk the 5 minutes to school just in case. When she didn't return, her mother assumed she was at school.

I was a little surprised by the mother's comment in an article that they don't let her walk around by herself, but the neighbor said she's always out there by herself. It always strikes me as strange when parents make just a few comments, and one of them is a lie.

 

[SewingDeb]

The video interview was very strange.

I'm with docwho3 about kids paying attention to school being out for weather.

That mother does give me the creeps. No sorrow, no look of worry. No tears.
I agree with you. I was thinking that she never left home for a walk to school either.

Well her mother can't say that the girl "never" walks around by herself in the same breath as "she left to walk 5 minutes to school." That's impossible.

 

[mom3dd]

my prayers are with Adreanna. The mother is scary to watch. Through the ice, abducted, abused, ranaway so many possibilities I was angry when I saw they called off the search but they must know something.

It also seems a little strange (not terribly strange, but a little) that if you didn't know whether school was in session or not, sending her off to find out and walking her PART way there. Part way on a five minute walk? Sometimes schools start late, or start at noon, or don't have school that day. Sending that 10 year old walking without knowing how the day will work . . . it just seems like it would be well worth the rest of the 5 minute walk to find out.

I agree ... seems a little lazy to me to not walk your daughter the whole 5 minutes.

That interview sure didn't inspire much confidence in the facts about Adrianna's disapperance, if you get the drift.....

But at least they seem to be cooperating with LE allowing them to search the apt and giving an interview.

LE and volunteers seem to be really responding quickly and pulling out all the stops. Good for them.

Hope little Adreanna is found safe...but time and circumstances are working against this..

Maybe they only walked her to the front door was my first thought, to make sure she was out the door.

The post on the number of sex offenders in area is not very comforting

Police say they have talked with two girls who may have been the last people to see 10-year-old Adreanna Jackson.

Sofia Morales and her cousin, Serena Woods, told police they saw Adreanna sometime late Friday afternoon on the grounds of Woodbrook Middle School, just a couple of miles from Adreanna's home in Lakewood, Washington.


If the girls are right, detectives say it establishes a point in time at which Adreanna was last seen, about eight hours after her mother said she left home for school.

It does not explain where Adreanna's been for the more than 48 hours since then.

The conversation might have also revealed something about Adreanna's state of mind the day she never came home.

The girls told detectives their friend Adreanna seemed sad.

Investigators had no new leads on the girl’s disappearance Monday and no persons of interest.

“But on the other hand, we’re not ruling anybody out at this point,” he said.

Adre-Anna’s family, which does not have a telephone, had listed a neighbor’s phone as the emergency contact, but no one answered that phone Friday morning, Prentice said.

In a letter to Tillicum Elementary parents, Principal Tom Prentice said that although classes were cancelled, some school staffers were at the school throughout the day Friday and no one saw Adre-Anna. After she was reported missing, searchers knocked on doors throughout the Tillicum neighborhood late Friday and Saturday before calling off the search for the girl Saturday night.

Police say an FBI dive team with sonar equipment will start searching American Lake Tuesday for a missing girl.

Video: Search On For Missing Girl


Lt. Bret Farrar said the lake is the next logical place to look after exhausting other leads in the disappearance of ten-year-old Adre-Anna Jackson.

She went missing Friday on the way to school. Her mother didn't know she was gone until that afternoon because she didn't know Tillicum Elementary had closed due to snow.

Farrar said police haven't been able to confirm a report the girl was sighted later that day by two other girls.

On Saturday, Lakewood Police searched the girl's apartment, as well as nearby American Lake for clues to Adre-Anna's disappearance.

Up to 120 searchers and family members have knocked on doors, handed out fliers and searched nearby parks and neighborhoods for the girl, but turned up few if any leads, said Lakewood Assistant Police Chief Dave Hall.

The family of a missing Lakewood girl is at American Lake Monday afternoon where the FBI is using sonar equipment to search for a missing girl.


Police don't know whether Adreanna Jackson is in the lake near her home, but they've run out of other places to look. The 10-year-old has been missing since Friday when she left for school, not knowing it had been closed due to snow. P> Lieutenant Bret Farrar says police have run out of other places to look.

I'm saying many prayers for her right now. I don't want this little girl to be dead.

The Tacoma News Tribune Article has a bit of information in addition to what other media have already reported. The problem I have is the different versions of the last time her step-father has given of the last time he saw her.Some of the media report he walked her part way to school and others like this one say he watched her from the window. Either the reporters need to check their facts or he is changing his story???The link is below:
